Popped into Binny's, the manager asked me if I wanted the new Stagg. They didn't even put it on their customer service counter. "Of course", I said. I finished my last Stagg (24D) a few weeks back so this was good timing.

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 time 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.
Today's Bourbon

25A, nice proof on that bottle. I thought those were from earlier this year. I think that manager really likes you. It's that kind of bourbon love we all need.Popped into Binny's, the manager asked me if I wanted the new Stagg. They didn't even put it on their customer service counter. "Of course", I said.

I didn't realize this was an earlier batch, Jim. I guess he does.

It's really oaky, Jim. If you like strong oak notes, definitely a good buy at $30. I'm slightly regretting it at $67.

Matt, if you did a little bit of hunting in your area. I think you would run into some seriously good bottles. Buffalo Trace just did a small drop down in Florida so I think you will have a good shot at finding some stuff up your way.

Jim knows things.
Last night, gave this another taste. Ok, last night is was worth the 67 bucks to me, so go figure. Palate definitely has some variables from night to night.
I still can pick up a bottle but saw American Highway Straight Bourbon Reserve on sale for under $50 so that went into the cart.

The story of the American Highway is pretty interesting, Jim, I'll be curious to see how you like it.
I have moved the 2XO Sneakerhead to the "2nd drink of the night" slot. I like it though it doesn't match up to the Vinyl blend. So I will be drinking it often, it just won't be the star of the show.
Last night was a 155 proof night. And then a pour of 2XO.

I've had a couple of Hazmats where the depth of flavor was so amazing, Jim, you hardly notice the proof. This one is probably the next category down, tastes great despite the heat.
I bought my first ever bottle of Angel's Envy today.
I've tried (and hated) their port wine finished, ice wine finished, crapola finished bourbons. Wouldn't buy a bottle on a bet.
This one is unfinished (yahoo!!) and bottled in bond. I actually liked the sample I tried at Binny's a lot.

I drink the port finish when I want an easy proof to sip. I also use it for cooking so it doesn't sit around not doing something. A BIB with no finish sounds interesting
