Today's Bourbon

[BourbonBinder]

Another Willett kind of night for me. Since I moved to a completely new area I lost all of my resources to possibly picking up another batch. However I have yet to explore the town so who knows what’s out there

Is that the 4 year, Matt? If so, I see if from time to time here at retail, can hook you up if you can't find it locally.

Last night's pours. The Rebel SiB is another one of those that was pretty "ok" until now, but now has opened or evolved and it really delicious. And the WP 13/16 blend if just my favorite rye, glad I grabbed more than one back when they were bottled.

You have a brave palate

Yeah that one was horrible. But I'll admit I know zero about good bourbon.

Buying 50ml bottles of something you've never had is fun and a great way to learn. Bout all of the reviews on this one agree with you

Yup 4 Year. Have never seen the 6 Year in my travels so I don’t very much chase them.

Much appreciated Tom!

My pleasure Matt!

Last night I had some Maker's Mark while bowling as my choices were that, Jack Daniels or Crown Royal. I came home, had a pour of another wheater and then some Rye.

Yesterday the GF and I went motorcycling through some towns just south of the Wisconsin border. Stopped into a dive bar in a one horse town to get a drink. Their whiskeys were basically Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam....oh, and one bottle of 2018-02 Booker's. I live a charmed life.

Got home from the ride a couple hundred miles later, and my latest acquisition was on the porch, a Booker's 17-04 (Sip Awhile).

So what to do when a backup arrives? Have a pour from the open bottle. The usual suspects again.

Was this the standard Makers or the 46? What did you think? I didn’t have the standard until several years into the hobby. It was not a memorable experience for me.

It was standard, and by far the best whiskey in the place. To me it was weak and one dimensional, though not unpleasant in taste. I have it from time to time in places where there's almost no options for whiskey.

Surprisingly enough, I have never tried any other variation of MM. Did smoke a few of their cigars a couple decades ago though.

Pours from Leo's Liquors (Chicago) barrel picks last night.

Found the newest ECBP (B521) yesterday and cracked it open last night. The proof is comparatively low for this one at 118.2

Decent flavor neat, less heat than my favorite ECBP batches. Two drops of water really improved the palate.

Haven’t seen this yet near me. Will keep an eye out. I like several of the previous releases.

I was surprised to see it in Chicago already after the cluster scheduled releases have been the last year. Hope you find it soon!
