That's a smart move. I'm 20+ deep on older KC picks and wont be buying more with the new 9 yr strategy. Big difference...Grabbed 3 Knob Creek store picks in a trade and a split. I’ve grabbed all I can recently, I've heard you won’t see store picks over 9 years going forward.
Total Wine 14 yr 9 mth
2 x Longhorn 14 yr 4 mth
I’ve had the Longhorn pick and it is excellent.
So my first drink of this I was kinda put off by it. It was so different than most bourbons. But then after that I really came to enjoy it. I've only had a couple drams since, but the four grain mash bill really comes out. Super unique but such a nice change of pace!
That's deep! Lots of good drinking in your future.
How is that?
This was a single barrel 5 year pick. Really liked the first pour, since then it's just ok. Definitely better than the regular version, I'm not a big fan of that. Used to love their (Smooth Ambler) Contradiction when it was 100 proof. Since they dropped it to 92, it isn't the same.
It's crazy how much you see Bookers posted on this forum compared to others. I'd almost say it's hive mind but I love Bookers too. I'd also add that cigar enthusiasts tend to have more developed palates #ChangeMyMind.When backups can be had at a reasonable cost, who am I to decline?
Tommy's (17-01), Front Porch (17-03), Country Ham (19-01), Granny's (20-01).
Maybe due to extra focus / practice paying attention to tasting notes.
Not a fan of Jack, but I never knew they made a barrel proof.Last night's pours:
I don't drink regular JD either, unless I'm on an airline and it's my only whiskey choice. No more since I learned you can bring minis in your carryon .
Happy belated birthday!Last night, some "Toogie's Invitation" for my Birthday nightcap.
