@ColbyLang I live in the northern flyway for migratory ducks and geese. Literally a bazillion to shoot every season.

Do you live in the bourbon flyway? Can I come shoot some of these million bourbons? Good lord man...count yourself blessed.

Edit: if you like walking store after store disappointed, man do I have the stores for you!

Anyways, this is my favorite lately. Solid pour at 100 proof.

I didn’t drink bourbon neat 6 years ago. 

My neighbor invited me to a guys night. That’s where it started. Collection started growing. The 4 guys I drink with regularly have collections far superior to mine. I’ve had the luxury of having top notch bourbon with these guys. I’ve had the BTAC’s I’ve had the Pappy’s. What I have not done is paid secondary prices on any bottle

That’s a good one for sure.  If you can find the wheated version give that a shot too.

@ColbyLang - Great cause and great outcome.  Sleep well knowing you guys made a difference. 

Unfortunately Frank, I think this will be our last go round with this group. There is zero effort on their part and exactly zero appreciation by and large. my five man group provided bar pours for 150+ ppl plus 14 various live auction items. 5 of us. the organization did nothing to help procure anything for the event. They literally have one man on staff whose job is to fundraise.

Too bad they  are so blinded to what it takes to pull that off.  I am glad you will seek other avenues.

You all are more than welcome to come pour some for me! :-)

@JohnfromKentucky

it stinks you’re so close to the source but still evades you.   Find something else you like and stay the course.  

I don’t see many of the upper end Sazerac offerings nowadays for msrp so I avoid them (in the secondary market) but there are plenty of other gems out there I routinely acquire.

Haven’t gone back to this in a while, let my SIL get after it.   Definitely got better once it opened up

Man that description sounds wonderful.    Perfect for Spring/Summer

Big ass strong old fashioned made with BT. I’m reading a 140pg Statement of Controls (SOC) report. I might need another to get through this.

@Ragingirishman2 - No such thing as "might". Go for it.  You will be pleasantly rewarded.

Edit for fat finger spelling.

Wise words. The old fashioned hit the spot but I need to make some more simple syrup and I wasn’t motivated for that tonight so I did a new bottle crack instead. This was a store pick from a bourbon club I’m in. I pick up some youthful grain at first but not off putting, then the rye spice and then a quick finish. The finish could be last longer (anticipating comments)overall a good bottle. Cheers friends.

I agree it’s just the carbs kill me

Excuse the messy bar top. Bottle kill store pick

Extra shot of 4R tonight in my old fashioned 

ColbyLang

Last call is Bombergers. Man, this bottle got oh so much better with time. Been about 5 weeks since I’ve opened it. Unreal how it’s changed

Great pour. Hopefully you’ve got a backup. 🥃

@pgprescott, I do. A different stores barrel pick. New label so relatively New. Also have a Sib and a 10 year in the bar

I’m a huge fan of that stuff along with their Kentucky Spirit. Just phenomenal whisky at what I consider great prices, given the quality. Enjoy them. 🥃

Another old fashioned tonight

Later.

I need to try the Origin line.  The Fusion is quite good (#7 is better than #8) but the blend keeps changing so the #7 is no longer to be found.

I cannot bring myself to the Discovery price point.
