Hate to be boring. Had a couple few whiskey and ginger ales

Finished off the Willett Kinda glad it’s gone honestly.

Saturday and Sunday I had Manhattans at two different restaurants. I'm usually a whiskey neat kinda guy, but these were a nice change of pace.

Last night some Booker's Country Ham at home.

Today a local guy was offering up the latest Booker's at $20 below retail each. Had to take that deal.

I know I know not Bourbon, but you gotta cut the Blue label a break it’s not his fault

I cracked the EHT Barrel Proof (batch 12) last night. It's delicious, like EHT BiB on steroids (131.1 proof).

Late night had a Knob Creek sib pick with my cigar.

How is that? I wanted to try some of the different corn whiskeys. If that makes sense. Here’s one I’m talking but I haven’t been able to find it even to try to sneakily order it in

Picked these up last night. Heard the old tub was drinkable so figured I’d try it. Prices were pretty good and I was out of town.

Rare Breed is so darn good.

Tends to be love or hate, it’s very peanutty, I like it when I’m in the mood for it, would make amazing bourbon balls or derby pie.

I think it’s pretty darn tasty. Picked it up in Charleston SC. Has a cinnamon nutmeg like finish in my opinion.

Semi-Local distillery Whiskey Acres in Dekalb IL makes a blue corn whiskey that I see on shelves from time to time. Curios but haven't tried it yet.

Old Tub is $19 around here, Jake. It's got some of that Beam peanut funk and is not a bad pour. I'll pick up a bottle if I'm going to an event where I know others who are drinking bourbon probably add a half a can of Coke.

My budget go-to when I can find it is Early Times Bottled in Bond, $26 for a liter. I am intrigued by that OG 114 though.
