Killer pickups Tom!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.
Nice! 120 proof, Brian? Age statement? I've been loving the SiB store picks, have a couple 9+ and a few 14+, and every one so far has been stellar.
My BiB cap is actually black and the standard Rye has a red cap. Both are incredibly nuanced for their assigned pricepoints. I just shared the standard Rye at my lounge and it was a fan favorite indeed. The possibility that it was Doc Holliday’s go to Rye just adds to the cool factor
How was the NR SiB bourbon?Pours from the past few nights:

Still haven't opened a Bluegill Creek, it's the only 2016 I have yet to crack. How'd you like it?
I didn’t care for it at first ‘cause I hadn’t had too many high proof bourbons and it was too hot for me but now enjoy it as a special occasion drink...but ‘cause I’mma wimp, drink it with an ice sphere. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it neat.
Maybe a couple drops of water, but yeah, I'm a high proof guy. Glad you enjoy it on special occasions.I didn’t care for it at first ‘cause I hadn’t had too many high proof bourbons and it was too hot for me but now enjoy it as a special occasion drink...but ‘cause I’mma wimp, drink it with an ice sphere.
