Bulleit
I enjoy it. It has subtle caramel notes without the artificial sweetness of other cheap Bourbons. Larceny is up there with the Bulleit Rye as one of my at-home staples and the price is great at about $28.

Me too..... times 4 pours at the United Center for the Blackhawks game. Granted, they were pretty small pours, the Wirtz family ain't real generous with their booze.

My Denver friends sent me another ECBP Private Barrel, this one a 10 year at 133.8 proof. Never would have owned even one of these, they were scarce and set aside by store managers with little integrity. Super excited to crack this one.
A little Pinhook High Proof before bed last night.

Been severely sick these past 10 days but wanted to share an incredible bourbon I had the week of Christmas. These Cigar Blends aren’t particularly easy to find. One of our members brought it in to share with only a select few.
Proof was around 124

Never had the JM CB before, Matt @BourbonBinder , you would definitely recommend I take it?
Last night I went to Bardstown (21-03), and ended up killing Maw Maw (15-05).

Yes I would if you can source it. Prices are way too high for me, low secondary starts at around $300 for the Cigar Blend. It usually receives very high marks from reviewersNever had the JM CB before, Matt @BourbonBinder , you would definitely recommend I take it?

Did work out a trade which I will post here this afternoon if it goes through, A couple of roughly $60 retail bottles that each go around $400 on secondary. That was the only way I was going to get one.
Last night I almost killed my JDBP SiB. Almost.

Met in the lot of a chain liquor store to get me trade. I traded a favorite bottle for it, but I really wanted a Coy Hill.
Popped into the store and low and behold, they had a couple of bottles that can be a little tough to find around here.

For some reason I'm envisioning one of those old crime noir movies....dudes in a dark corner of the parking lot looking around shiftily: "You got the bottles?" "Yeah, YOU got the bottles?" "Wait...how do I know you didn't just fill these with Fireball?" "You callin' me a liar?"Met in the lot of a chain liquor store to get me trade.

Second pour of the Barrell SiB, totally different than the first. Drank more like a finished bourbon, sweet, syrupy.....sort of like Eagle Rare. Not really thrilled and hoping that something was off on my palate and it's more like the first pour next time.
Followed it with some Booker's (Kathleen's 18-01) to be sure I wouldn't be disappointed twice.
