Haven't cracked that one open yet, waiting for a bourbon share get together.

Been a couple good weeks. Finally found the new 100 proof Sazerac Rye. Weller Single Barrel completes the rainbow.

I need the Weller single barrel and CYPB. Neither of which are likely to happen anytime soon.

My brother got lucky last year in an allocated drop for the CYPB, and I traded for the Single Barrel. I had never had either before now. Secondary prices on these are ridiculous. I only know of one person that likes CYPB. Hope you get lucky sooner than later.

I grew up in the South, and we can trace our maturation by our taste in bourbon. In high school, it was Southern Comfort and Coke, and in college Wild Turkey (the kickin chicken) and Coke and the Kickin Chicken saw us into our post-college years when we got fancy and drank it on the rocks as our fathers did. Much to our surprise, and chagrin, Bourbon has become extremely popular. Weller’s is no longer $30 a bottle, nor Blanton’s at $50. Pappy is obscenely priced. We have a few bottles of Pappy at home that we bought for next to nothing, and a few bottles of Black Maple that we bought for $35/bottle, only to see the price surge to more than $2500. I’ve heard that Chinese buyers have developed a taste for our bourbon, and Cuban cigars, which is why prices have become divorced from reality. I’m ready for everyone to once more think that Bourbon is for rednecks, which those in the know understand to be nonsense as it is a well-established fact that Bourbon is the preferred drink of angels in Heaven, and the Almighty.

Just opened my c925 from Elijah Craig barrel proof series. While it is the youngest yet I have no complaints on flavor profile

Wow, this thread garnered a lot more post than the 416 Taylor and 470! Capstick threads!
I guess I should change my hobby

Don’t worry you can have more than one hobby

The home made honey whiskey turned out good
2 cinnamon sticks in a pint of vanilla crown royal let set at least a week longer if you like cinnamon.
2 to 3 lbs good honey ours was most of black gum touplo
And I mixed it in with a handle of Seagrams vo
If I had not been given that bottle it would have been cc 12 year.

I like it better than the wild turkey honey.

Got a couple in decent trades/ buys, thanks to my brother. Love the Polaris missile look of the Eagle Rare handle.

For those enjoying bourbon, this Saturday (November 8) is Single Barrel Saturday in Ohio per OHLQ. Last year the "best" bottle was Weller Full Proof, looks as though it'll be Weller 12-year bourbon this year, plus a bunch of other offerings. Check their website for liquor stores involved.

If you add a lemon to this recipe it’s basically cough syrup from back in the day

On my birthday I was gifted a couple of bottles, Knockando 12, and Koshi, a japanese blended, new to me, very smooth, but I prefer my whisky with a fuller flavor.

[Jon Glajchen]

My favorite as well. Delicious!
