Today's Bourbon

[BourbonBinder]

Damn I miss cigars. Hope to have 4 this Friday once I return to my cigar lounge, which is now operating as a Speakeasy, thanks in part to our draconian/Orwellian lockdowns in NJ.

Sipping on this right now. One of the best Barrel Strength Bourbons I’ve been introduced to in the past year.

Congratulations! I’ve never even seen one in person before.

@Opie and I saw one in person, but it was already tagged as saved for someone...

ECBP B520 is so tasty.

Finally got this one. Been waiting to check this box for some time...View attachment 156112

Well Well, what do we have here? Nice snatch.

My son, who is my oldest, turned 5 yesterday. He had a Star Wars themed birthday so I capped it off with this while watching episode 4.

100 proof, giving the palate a break.

Funny, I used that same phrase just the other night....

First picture when it was a new bottle back in December 2019.

Today, nearly one year later and I still have more then half left. It’s not that I don’t love this one, I really really do, but having such a diverse collection has my attention elsewhere. Still I returned to it once more yesterday and it was very good

I Understand that. It’s hard to drink them down, when you’re working on a bunch.

Glad you do like it though, as well as Tom and Mark. It’s the only Booker’s I have and I haven’t cracked it yet. Got it a couple months ago in a small shop that had it at a reasonable price. Will be my first try of a Booker’s. But I got to work through some opens before cracking it...

Sad to see this one go, such a great bottle.

next up to open is a Remus Repeal III. Plan to crack it when I finish this project I’m working on..

I would so buy this one again. Who would’ve thought a Virginia Bourbon would’ve tasted so good, the thought would explain why I waited so long to try it. That last glass brought out an intense grassy nuance, which pleased the senses

I liked my bottle of Booker's. It was Teresa's Batch, but the price point keeps going up on them. I just can't swing a re-buy when there's so many other lower priced options.

So Matt @BourbonBinder and Jeremy @Glassman inspired me to crack a new Teresa's. Thank you both.

So I killed off another KC Cask Strength Rye last night. I've been debating picking up another one. As an experiment after this small pour, I poured a little of my 9 year KC store pick. Ended the debate in my head about the CS Rye, I'll put the money towards another 9 year KC store pick.

Three new store picks today. A Binny's SiB Knob Creek 120 to replace the 9 year I'm almost done with (rationing those 15 year picks); a different Old Forester Barrel Strength SiB (134 proof) that locals say is better than the Woodman's one I grabbed on Thanksgiving; And a 15+ year SiB Whistlepig at 109 proof that people are raving about.

Visited Arizona last week for Thanksgiving. Did a little hunting, although it wasn't a magical @Glassman shopping trip, I came home with several that I was looking for.

This is the first one to get cracked open.
