A couple of bourbon recommendations...

[Humbuster]

Just picked up 2 750ml bottles of Weller 12 year old and 1 1.75l bottle of 10 year old.

Was told by the owner, my Pappy's may soon follow.

A liqueur that I used to get from Cape Town in my early days. Its so enjoyable, a liqueur without that over-sweet syrupy taste. Just ordered another bottle to remind me. 20180320_152645.jpg

Booker’s is great. I received a complimentary bottle with a Tudor (Ranger) watch purchase locally a few years ago. Truly awesome flavor profile. But, at 128 proof... man alive, I breathe fire 🔥 after! It’ll really put hair on your chest.

Tonight it will be Glenfiddich. Cheers!

Best,
Shrinky

A group of us (five guys) got together in Wells, Maine for our fifth bourbon tasting. The first was in 2005, the second in 2015 - and once a year since then. We do a double-blind tasting, scoring individually. Then at the end of the night, the scores are tallied, the double-blind codes decoded, and the winner revealed. We had ten bourbons this year, ranked 1 - 10. As with other years, one person's #1 could be another's #10. Usually the winner will have a lot of high marks. Here are this years results:

1 Henry McKenna Single Barrel 10 year-old, bottled-in-bond
2 (tied) Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon
3 (tied) Woodford Reserve Double Oak
4 High West American Prairie Bourbon – Utah
5 (tied) Elmer T Lee Single Barrel
5 (tied) Wiggly Bridge Small Barrel Bourbon – York, ME
7 Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon
8 Willett Pot Still Reserve Bourbon
9 Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon
10 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (131 proof!)

To be fair, the Elijah Craig was the only barrel-strength bourbon in the group and the high proof put many off as it is pretty hot (all bourbons are tasted neat, with a little water added later if you wish). The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is very good with water or ice.

Nice post, thanks!

If you can find a better bourbon... Buy it.

I was born in the wrong decade.
