Today's Bourbon

I think this is right where I wanted it to be. Compared to OWA it’s richer and sweeter where OWA is brighter and more tart. Perfect proof for this I think at just shy of 111.

To the ones we can save, and those we can't.
I actually ended up taking some tums after that pikesville. Ice is a definite must, hell maybe even a water backPikeville straight fire. Ice chip opened it up well though.

I didn't have an issue with heartburn after my experience with Pikesville, however I did after t much lower proof Woodford Reverse Rye, so I know how you feel. So far to this date, Woodford Rye & Stagg Jr.are the only whiskies I needed to add water to make it palatable

Went to a benefit for a friend's family tonight. I won a bottle of Tito's vodka in the raffle.
Somehow, before I left, the Tito's became this:
I am told the person who ended up with the Tito's was not happy. But I am.

Yeah, you get the better end of the deal there
Actually Amazon. In the U.K. you can have liquor shipped directly to your home. It might be possible to have it shipped to a hotel?

A very generous pour of Maker’s for $6 at dinner while on date night with the wife.

We were going out to eat while entertaining the kids on spring break. I suggested a nice resturant, and was approved. Didnt mention that it was because of the bourbon menu. Had to choose between 4R 130th, Wild Turkey Masters Keep, Parkers Heritage 14, EC18, and the one I chose, PH curaçao finish. There were many others, but I picked the one I'd had the chance to buy but passed on, since it was an odd finish.
All I'd heard was that the orange was definitely present, but in a good way. No way was I dropping $100+ on one a may hate... It turns out, I regret that decision. It was like drinking the best HH product, smooth and flavorful, but with the slightest hint of orange at the end of the finish. By no means overpowering- actually hardly present- and my fears of a "flavored whiskey" were unfounded.
It was a $38 pour, so not one I'll repeat, but glad I tried it. Opened my mind a bit...

Awesome! The Willett Family Reserve Rye had a noticeable orange note on the finish, but only when served neat in a rocks glass, I didn’t pick up the same orange note in my Glencairn

So after nearly a year in the making I finally got to taste the final product; the 2018-2019 Infinity Bottle Project. Plus I also got to share it with about 9 guys at my Cigar Lounge and see their reactions. They all loved it. Tons of complexity & nuances. Long finish with many transitions, but one would hope for that considering 17 whiskies are in play.
Each whiskey consisted of 2-3 ounce pours:

I took a bottle of that on my fishing trip. Paired well with a bold cigar. Only went thru half a bottle, so the rest was left in the cabinet for next year.Next up while watching some march madness.

Wasn't a daily pour for me, but great for relaxing on the porch with a smoke.
