@Jett129 oh yeah, derp, I'm an idiot. It's right there on your screenshot. Thanks for the tip!

[Matt]

Damn. That’s some serious syrup.

[Matt]

If I go to that website though I could get into real trouble so I may have to stick with the Walmart brand that’s “only” $15.

[Jett129]

@Matt It’s also amazing on pancakes/waffles/french toast etc. Just wait until Black Friday when they discount it a little and offer free shipping. It’s really that good.

[Matt]

That’s a helluva tip @Jett129 I actually love Black Friday online shopping. It’s a false sense of security but I can’t help myself. I also like having all my Xmas shopping done before Dec.

[Jett129]

@Matt As if you need any more incentive,it comes in a really nice wooden box that you can keep your? in.

[Matt]

[Jett129]

This one checks a lot of boxes for me. I would gladly put this up against some other more expensive bourbons. This was only $44.99 and after drinking it I felt like I was stealing. @scooter

[Matt]

I also love to drink bourbon then steal shit.

[Jett129]

@Matt I’m trying so hard to come up with a clever response,but I got nothing. Looking forward to seeing you,at which point I will be happy to buy you a bourbon.

[Matt]

And now I’m looking forward to it even more.

@Jett129 , I love me some Heaven Hill. It was scarce, around here, for quite awhile. It started showing up, about 6 months ago. I grabbed a bottle, immediately. Now, I come across it in every shop I step in.

HH has others that are really worth picking up, as well. McKenna 10 year is fantastic. It's a few bucks more, but it suits my taste better. JTS Brown is solid, even as a sipper. At under $20, it's an awesome value, to boot...

[Jett129]

@scooter I’m totally with you on TheMckenna,which is hard to find in my neck of the woods. I really like the Elijah Craig Toasted barrel as well.

Over the past few months, I've acquired some whiskeys I haven't had occasion to open, as yet. I'm currently enjoying "Sober October", at the moment. So, they're going to have to wait a little longer. But, if they're as good as I've heard, it'll be well worth it...

The Booker's is the first release of 2023, dubbed "Charlie's Batch". The Willett is their 4 year old rye.

This is my first go-round with Jefferson's. While, I've heard the Oceans releases were a bit gimmicky, and not worth the price, the Tropics is being held in higher regard.

[Jett129]

I’ve had several bottles of The Ocean gifted to me over the years,and I would never buy it,but have to admit that it’s brilliant marketing. The Jefferson’s Reserve is not what goes into the Ocean bottles and is a nice solid bourbon at about $55. I recently got a single barrel store pick of Jeffersons Reserve that was bottled at 100 proof,as opposed to the regular 90 proof. It’s delicious,and was an impulse purchase at $80. Borderline worth it. Those bottles you have waiting for you are going to be awesome,to say the least.

@Jett129 , I haven't had EC toasted, yet. But, I've had a couple of their Barrel Proof releases. Those are always a treat.

the whisky is ok, but the view is phenomenal (just arrived in the Dolomites)

tonight‘s choice

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Jett129 good info. I’ve only ever tried Jefferson’s base model as the others were too costly a gamble to experiment with based on my impression of the base. Single barrels are always hit or miss with me. But when it comes to something like a revolving single barrel issuer like Booker’s or Blanton’s, the product is usually consistently worth it.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@scooter EC toasted is bomb, def worth it. I love that bib Mckenna too but I guess news reached them that their 20 year was bussin, so they DOUBLED the price over that last couple years. When I’d get it for 30 bucks it was a best-for-your-money bourbon, now that they’ve priced it with other high-Enders, I’d consider it mediocre for the price. Still up there with Bakers though.
