I agree, just finished a bottle of the 4 roses single barrel. Really tasty stuff.

I picked up a bottle of each:

Evan Williams Single Barrel
Colonel E.H.Taylor Small Batch

Cant wait to try the EHT, this will be my first tasting of it.

I really am loving the Colonel E.H. Taylor small batch.

Also just picked up a bottle of Old Weller Antique. I never see this stuff so I had to grab it while available.

I think you will be surprised by the Old Weller Antique.

Yes, I am liking the Old weller Antique. I also picked up a bottle of Weller Special Reserve. It is good but I would rather have had another OWA 107

I saw some Knob Creek single barrel store picks and that will be the next pickup.

My wife and I were in the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience this past Friday doing the Speakeasy Tour. It was a fun tasting and I picked up a couple of souvenirs:

The Elijah Craig is the smoothest "high octane" whisky I've ever had.

Found a bottle of Russell's Reserve that someone gift me last year. Cracked it open tonight. Know nothing about it, but it has a nicely sweet vanilla undercurrent to it. I really should keep better track of where these gifts come from so I can thank people appropriately ...

Ok so I have been on a bit of a binge lately.

1792 Full Proof
Hotel Tango Single Barrel Bravo Bourbon
Bumbu original rum
and a cognac I cant quite remember what kind though.

I think my liquor store has painted a target on me! Every Sunday I get an email titled "Sunday Funday 20% off" and it has some libation that I just cannot do without.

Sampled Pappy 23 Year for the first time at a dinner last night. Good, but with my palette, I don’t think I could ever justify the price point. At least I can say I’ve tried it. :)

Really enjoyed batch B from 2017. OF 1920 is another one I forgot to mention above. That’s been a really solid drinker for me

Check out some of the Russell’s Reserve store picks. Some of those picked barrels are bangers

Black Coral John hooked me up with this at Christmas time. The nose on this bourbon is ridiculous, and it tastes purty fricking good too.
