Today's Bourbon

[icehog3]

Hit the Binny's to see what they dropped today. The new Mid Winter's Night Dram (hard pass between being finished and being $199). Also a new Woodford Batch Proof, I'm not a Woodford guy.

Had time to stop by Garfield's before work, and it was lucky that I did. They had a case of the new Booker's (24-04, Jimmy's Batch) without a limit, I grabbed 2. They also dropped a couple new single barrel store picks that were no-brainers coming from there. A Jack Daniels Barrel Strength at 127.6 proof and an Elijah Craig 9 year Private Barrel at 119.5 proof. I'll probably open the EC tonight. I'm still working on an open JDBS and have a couple other picks as well.

Opened the new ECPB. It's an oak bomb, in a good way.

Elijah Craig Small Batch Barrel Proof A120
At 136.6 proof, it’s a bit too hot, gonna hafta add an ice sphere next time.

A FB post inspired me to open a Booker's Shiny Barrel (19-02). One of my favorite backstories of the name: Bunch of fat guys sampling bourbon rubbing the dust off the barrels with their huge bellies and that is how you know where the good barrels are.

Of the 4 2019 batches, it is my least favorite. That being said, it is still better than all but maybe 1 or 2 batches since 2019.

Cracked the Barrell 2021 New Year Bourbon that I picked up on clearance awhile back. It is the best version of the New Year blend from Barrell that I have had.

I had another couple pours of the Barrell New Years 2021 last night. I wish I had opened one of these in '21 when the were common on the shelves. I would have stocked up
