You need to learn to drink it straight like your wife.

The rye is my favorite. I just added the bourbon. I need to let it breath and go back to it later.

Nice little pick up today.


I just got back from Kentucky this morning. I'm such an idiot. Instead of stopping by Heaven Hill yesterday morning, I went back to Buffalo trace to try for some Taylor since I missed the Blanton's the day before but ended up with Eagle Rare. I should've just went to Heaven Hill and picked up that 15.

Very jealous. Had a group do the fill your own at HH in September for my 40th. We were all hoping for the Select Stock, but of course they were out and didn't have a replacement. We all ended up with the Elijah Craig, which is good, but a little bit of a letdown.

Boo. In hindsight, I should have bought two of the HHS, but wanted the EC since you can only get Y batch at the distillery.

Yeah the same happened for us in Feb '22.

Question for anyone that's done a tour at Buffalo Trace. If they open reservations up at 8 AM on May 5 for June tours, is it a mad dash at 8 or do you get in a virtual line before that?

Virtual line

Was a mad dash when we did it in September. 5 or 6 of us trying were able to snag 1 tour option for the group before everything was sold out.

I'm an unapologetic Barrell fanboy, and there NY releases are always some of my favorite.

NY23 is a fantastic pour. If you like the fuit profile of bourbon, this is your jam. With a great heat to balance.

If you prefer a heavier oak/dry finish, reach for Batch 34.

Something in the middle? Barrell Vantage.

At my local go-to getting a few handles of cheap tequila for the neighborhood cinco de mayo party. I'm checking out with the old mostly retired dude that cashiers there and he says 'you have 40 reward dollars, wanna use em?' To which I said no I'm saving up for a bottle of whisky on the shelf over there. They put blantons and other hard to get stuff in a locked case that you can buy at retail, but with only reward dollars ($5 per $100, so for a $100 bottle you'd need to spend $2k)

He says ahh gotcha, well hey they had a whisky release this morning, blantons and eagle rare.. I said are there some left? He said the guy just before you had one.

Sure enough, walk back to whisky counter and I see a row 20 deep. They got a 192 bottles from this barrel pick, so even with 120 people in line at opening, he said still plenty left and slowly going now.

I told my neighbor, he got one said just 6 left, so lasted half a day anyway. Not bad.

The eagle rare was only 12, so those were gone.


THANK YOU OLD NICE MAN AT THE CASHIER! Had he not offered for me to use my $40, it would have never come up.

Judging from these last few posts I'm guessing i can pretty much guess what I missed out on, on the VABC drop this morning.

Edit - just walked over to see if anything happened to be left. There were about 16 or so bottles of McKenna 10, 5 handles of Old Taylor and 6 or so bottles of Jack triple mash.

Spoke with the guy working there. Stagg sold out in 5 minutes. Blanton's, ER, and BT we're all also sold out as well.

My specs in Houston didn't even have handles of WT101 today. And no Peychauds bitters. Much less anything interesting

Buffalo Trace Just Released an Experimental Peated Bourbon

I love Scotch, but not peaty stuff.

Peaty is the only scotch I like. If I'm going to drink scotch I want it tasting like a campfire.

It will sell like ****ing hotcakes and probably be 200+ secondary but I have zero interest in drinking that outside of the novelty factor.

Poured a small amount of that Jack Triple Mash into a glass just to taste when i got home from work. Took a sip and immediately drove back up to the store to buy another bottle. If you like Rye and American Single Malts this is definitely worth a try.. Really thick cream taste followed by just a bit of the rye spice.

I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle of the Jack Daniel's American Single Malt when it releases if this is any indication of how good it will be. a 10+ year old bottle at 40-50 bucks im guessing is going to be right up my alley.
