@goosehd we tend to stick to the 1:1:1 ratio, irrespective of which gin/bitters/vermouth we use

Got this one as a birthday gift. Just opening it and finding it quite nice.

@Mizmazzle I love Whistle Pig. Is that a special store pick,as the proof is a little bit higher. I had met one of the original owners/founders at Whiskeyfest when it first came out,and it was their hope that it would do for rye what Makers did for bourbon. Had to look this up but I thought there was some connection to Makers,and it was that Dave Pickerell who was the Master Distiller at Makers advised them after he had left Makers.

@Jett129 I don’t think it’s a special shop type edition or anything. It’s got a nice bit of bite due to the high proof…which I really enjoy.

Finally! After 3 years of nursing the previous bottle, I've managed to get it's replacement. At retail, no less...

I like maple rather than simple syrup. Bada bing cherry. With Larceny today.

@scooter nice I just picked up a bottle I was on a list for. Took a long time, so I hope it is a good barrel. Also have a small batch I’ve been saving. Might have to crack em both for a comparison.

A little dessert before the game

[Jett129]

@WhiskeySandwich You definitely should get some of the Van Winkle barrel aged maple syrup when it goes on sale on Cyber Monday. They put it in sale on Black Friday,and then increase the discount on Cyber Monday,but you have to hope that they don’t sell out by then. I think we’ve talked about this before.

Allocation season is in full swing...

E.H Taylor small batch

@scooter The Knob Creek 21 is going for $219 in my neck of the woods. I await your review.

@Jett129 , the past 3 years, since first acquiring the 18 year, Knob Creek has become my traditional dram, over Thanksgiving weekend. I'll certainly be enjoying this along side the 12 and 18 year, this time around. So, you won't have to wait too long for that review.

[Jett129]

@scooter Unfortunately my local store sold out. They said it literally flew off the shelves.

A sample of some agaves I’ve been enjoying in Mexico.
