            @Joberwocky Very nice.  If I had to pick an archetypal bourbon to seal in a time capsule or something, it would be that very bourbon.

            Notice it's been a few days, any thoughts?

            For my part I took a trip down to Catoctin Creek to snag two bottles of Ragnarok Rye, a GWAR collaboration.  It's a young rye aged in new white oak with sugar maple and cherrywood staves.

              If I had to pick a Bourbon to seal in  a time capsule it would probably be Blantons.

                I've had two glasses now and it was for sure great bang for the buck.  Super drinkable.  I had just finished a bottle of Russell 10 prior to buying it and prefer the Taylor.  I'd been on such a mean Barrell streak beforehand it's a good change of taste.

                    @Joberwocky Just curious,what did you pay for the E.H.Taylor as it’s kind of pricey in my neck of the woods. I,personally, think that the single best bourbon value out there is Eagle Rare,especially when you can find a store pick.

                      I used to have a bottle of eagle rare 10 that I was in love with.  I got the Taylor for just around 47, which is lower than what it's typically jacked up to.  Fortunately I have a store nearby that offers 10% discount if you have an Annapolis area code

                          Nothing like some Laphroaig Cairdeas from 2014, bourbon barrel finished.

                            Just picked up some of the latest Laphroaig Cairdeas 2021 Pedro Ximenez cask strength release.  Not opened it yet but it should be good!

                            There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                Awesome, lemme know how it is.  I got last year's cask finished and it was fantastic

                                    I’m a bourbon/rye guy and cask strength offerings have become pretty popular in recent years. 55% alcohol is pretty much my cask strength sweet spot. How would you be drinking it? I would taste it neat at first,but then I would need some ice. @ddtrash

                                      @tvenuto on my second bottle of Plantation, this time with Bundaberg ginger beer. 😁

                                      I am enjoying these a little too much.

                                        @Filthy  I really like the overproof Plantation for a Cuba libre. Speaking from personal experience, you gotta be circumspect, it's something like 69%
