Another one of those Nights

Around these parts this one is hard to find

And this is impossible...except once you cross the border into New York

Booker's Pigskin (20-03). Cinnamon (not Red Hots artificial flavor, actual cinnamon) and caramel on the palate.Not my favorite Booker's but certainly worth retail.

Yo Tom @icehog3 , lookie what I finally found! I don't know a damn thing about it. How's this one?

Love the color soft, dry wood and unripe banana on nose. On palate tart fruit, hint of chocolate, cinnamon, burned sugar thick rich mouth feel Finish dry leather and hint of sweet, medium long. Water tames the tartness, brings out the oak and shortens the finish.

Probably my favorite batch since Granny's (2020-01). Has both sweet and spice notes. I'd put 2-3 drops of water in, it really seems to enhance the palate, Carlos.

Great description. I might run to the store and grab a bottle.

AC decided to crap out so a nice buzz would help with the heat.

Thanks for the tip! Man this was just dumb luck. Wandered in on the day they got them I guess.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked tonight. No picture, been chatting with family on the phone. I think that's enough said.....

This pick just seemed to get better and better. If Binny's does another one some time I will grab one.

Straight Rye Cask Strength 95% rye 5% malt, young Nose clean crisp light barrel notes and rye spice nose develops with air, water adds touch of cinnamon to the nose. Palate thin warm and spicy not overly complex water doesn't do much to the palate. The finish may be the best part of this rye whiskey, Very long, mild spice, warm and smooth. Water delays the burn in the finish

Today’s haul. Backups for my ECBP and the special bottle my wife picked out.

Been a big day today for scores.

This afternoon found 5 more bottles to add to the collection.

Rock hill farms

That’s (7) for the day. Been a good time for sure.

Finally busted out my last bottle of ETL.

Big mahalos to my 2015 CBid Secret Santa, Delta1.

Any age statement on this one, or source info? The finish sounds wonderful.

Nice day, Brian! Scoring those old ECBPs is money (not to mention the Lot B.) If you ever come across ECBP C919, grab one for me and two for yourself....my favorite ECBP batch to date.

Pours of the first two 2019 Booker's batches last night.

 

[Boudie]

@icehog3 I want to say 2 years and sourced from another distillery apparently under the same ownership and matured at Taconic. They call it a Hudson Valley Rye with local ingredients.

Tom, just scored bottles of front porch batch and Teresa’s batch at MSRP this morning.

I was hoping for some C919 but I’ve not been successful yet. I’ve got 4 days left in San Francisco so there’s still hope.
