Brian, I usually wait 3 weeks minimum for my second pour, but this has only been open 12 days. In all honestly, I liked the first pour better, but both were good. I'll hit it up again in about 10 more days and be more definitive then.

Going lower proof for my next pour. Good stuff.

 

[icehog3]

I tried to keep my proof in the triple digits, Carlos.

Had some Rabbit Hole dareringer with our soon to be new neighbors. Tonight I plan on cracking open the Larceny BP B522 the wife picked up randomly for me yesterday.

Distiller's Collection? Just curious is it a good dram or are we just putting lipstick on a pig?

Oh no, it's a good one. Lots of cinnamon in this stuff, as well as some spice. But SO smooth, even for its proof. I recommend it.

 

[Boudie]

Thanks I'll keep my eyes open for it.

 

[Texican]

Definitely recommend it! The Old Forester 1910 I cracked open was delicious too, at 20ish lower proof. Lots of banana flavor there, and some dark caramel-type stuff.

OF 1910 Already on my shelf

Hey @Texican instead of jumping over to the Tequila thread, quick question. Have you ever tried Mi Familia Flores Crystalino Anejo? Had a taste (while half mashed from a wine tasting), an almost cotton candy meets tequila thing going on. Waiting on a bottle to come in so I can do a more in depth assessment.

I have not, but I know exactly the one you are taking about because it has an awesome bottle. I'd be interested to hear your experience when you snag that bottle. I have been loving anejos lately.

8 year MGP single barrel.

 

[icehog3]

From 118.9 proof to 120 proof to 126.7 proof. Figured I better save a little for tomorrow.

 

[icehog3]

Barrell Bourbon batch 32. Not bad but there are much better recent batches.

 

[icehog3]

137.4 proof deliciousness right there.....I was able to procure a couple more bottles of this pick via trade. Maybe the best EC I've ever had.

 

[icehog3]

Got lucky again on a Friday at Binny's, I'm definitely going every Friday I'm in town.
