BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

@Texican Carlos, I don't have a lot of Woodford experience as I find it too mild. Crazy that this one is so strong and bitter. 
Well, not much more to fight through anyway.
Grabbed this yesterday. I've heard a couple things and read a couple reviews, so I am pretty excited to try it.
Last night, a little Bottled in Bond Remus Reserve hit the spot.

Unfortunately that was my experience too with that bottle, most of them time it went into bourbon and coke

I was down to 2 Libbey bourbon glasses so I ordered a set of 4 from Amazon. I realized while having a pour last night that one of the glasses had a small chip on the rim. Contacted Amazon for a replacement and they gave me two options: Contact Libbey, or get a returnless refund. Whaddaya think I chose? 3 free glasses, winning!

I keep wanting to get one of those type glasses. They are the kind that JB distillery used for their sampling and I really liked them.I was down to 2 Libbey bourbon glasses so I ordered a set of 4 from Amazon.

I have these two types:
On top of those two...for Christmas two years ago, I was given 4 more of the first type AND a 2 pack of these:
So I really REALLY can't justify the purchase of any more glasses.

@Texican Carlos, I can't use a Glen Cairn with my big Irish schnozz. @BourbonBinder Matt sent me my first Libbey glass, and I haven't used anything else since. I do like those Diamond glasses, they're pretty sharp.

11 year old Elijah Craig Barrel Proof single barrel pick. This one is at 109 proof which is very low for the ECBPs. This one is a total oak bomb, reminds me of a 15 year Knob Creek pick with a hint of that Heaven Hill sweetness.

I went to a whiskey sampling event yesterday and tried these:
New Riff single barrel store pick
Clyde Mays 6 Year Cask Strength
Jack Daniels single barrel pick
Rossville Cask Strength
None were good enough to buy (even on sale), and the Rossville was actually pretty nasty.
Paid for a couple pours:
Jack Daniels 10 Year(meh)
Willett 9 Year single barrel pick (amazing)
I didn't win any of the allocated bottles they raffled off.
I did come home with two bottles. My friend who moved to Nashville and has been doing NBC picks came up with the "sequel" to Tennessee Jed (which I love), Return of the Jed. It's more classic high rye MGP than its predecessor, but super tasty.

Cracked open one of my two bottles that I brought back from Kentucky. Not sure I'll ever love anything more than I do the Beam lineup, but damn, BT did right by this one. Thick, mouth-coating sweetness with a high enough proof to balance it out.

I cracked 2 new bottles yesterday for the hockey games. First was the newest Booker's, Charlie's Batch. The neck pour was delicious, has lots of the same flavors and qualities of a couple of my absolute favorite batches.
Then it was a 9 year single barrel Knob Creek that a friend picked with a local group. It's a solid KC 9 year, at 120 proof it will go fast.
