Had an hour to kill while the GF and her Mom did some antiquing, stopped into the Copper Fiddle Distillery in Lake Zurich, IL. Small but a great vibe, live music on weekends, cool staff. Their own juice is only 2 1/2 years old but shows some promise. I'll definitely be back and watch how the juice improves with age. I tried their cask strength at 121 proof. Young, but with promise.

I'm almost finished with a Pinhook 6 Year sib pick from 2022 by El Cerrito Liquors that has been excellent. So I picked up the 2024 8 Year single barrel from El Cerrito to see if it matches up.

Picked up 2 Maker's Mark bottles yesterday, one old favorite (FAE-02 Wood Finished) and a new release (Lost Recipes 1st Edition) that I hope is better than the "Heart" release.

Good hunting days at the end of the week as well as one coming in the mail.

In the wild, I found another Little Book Infinite Blend and 3 new Booker's (24-03 Master Distiller's Blend) at MSRP.



Also picked up another Jay West (T8ke) pick, a 9 year single barrel Pinhook.

When I ttaded for this JDSBBP pick a couple weeks ago, I didn’t realize it was a Jay West (T8ke) pick. Every pick of his I’ve had (Pinhook, Barrell, Knob Creek etc) has been great. This one is even better than that, just a banger. Hard to believe it’s only 127 proof, it's full of flavor and heat. I kind of lucked into this one.
