Go ahead, roll a blunt with a Monte #2, I dare you.

That's a combo I definitely won't do! I go for strong Nicaraguans if I've smoked.

Hey, how about a little bourbon in here?!

Nothing dropped at Binny's yesterday besides finished whiskeys and some ryes. I have been hearing good things locally about Clark & Sheffield Barrel Proof. Sourced from 1792, it's bottled at the same proof as 1792 FP, which I like a lot. At $34, decided to take a shot.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. I really enjoy the 1792 FP.

Stopped by a local store that’s across the parking lot from the restaurant I had dinner at. Wasn’t expecting to buy anything as I don’t really need anything, and this store puts a markup on things. You can tell there’s been a shift in bourbon buying when you see things like Little Book, Rare Character and High West Bourye on the shelf.

I plan to open it tonight or tomorrow, James.

Good to hear. Tell 'em all to start buying aged gin.

I was on my local USAF Base today and saw this. I'm pretty picky when it comes to finished whiskies, but they had it at a good price so I figured what the heck.

I bet it will be good, James, Maker's Mark does a lot of good things with the wood staves. Not like things finished in port barrels, honey casks, etc. I'd buy it at a good price as well.

Popped into Binny's for the Friday drop. They had this, so I took a flyer.

I opened the Clark & Sheffield BS last night, James. There is absolutely nothing "1792" about it. Rye spice and pepper at first, after it opened up a bit there was a hint of dark fruit sweetness, but not enough to damper the spice. I'll pay the extra $15 MSRP all day for 1792 FP over this one.

On a positive note, I found out the JD Heritage single barrel is from Coy Hill, which is a good thing.
