Not drinking it yet, but it will ship in October. I hear 2257 was a good year for bourbon.
1996 Ledaig (Isle of Mull) on the rocks. I like the subtle smoke. Paired well with Lays BBQ potato chips.
Havana Club 7
Glendronach 12 neat.
Berta Grappa di Barolo
A big pour of ice-cold vodka. Surely it will be the national beverage soon, nyet?
American and locally-produced by Fox River Distilling in Geneva, IL.
We had a private group tasting at Jameson today. Their Distiller’s Edition is good, but their Black Barrel Cask Strength was outstanding. I bottled one to bring home, but the 100 Euro price limited me to one.

Wild turkey 101, I like it

Fortaleza Anejo is my favorite tequila. Though I did stumble upon a new one called Don Abraham extra anejo. Pretty dang good. A bit tougher to find though than the Fortaleza though...at least the extra anejo was.
Whistle Pig 15 year Rye Whisky
Tasted some Old Forester Bourbons at the club:
1870 Original Batch
1897 Bottled in Bond
1910 Old Fine Whiskey
1920 Prohibition Style
The President's Choice
The President's Choice is a really nice sipper, and the 1910 was excellent in an Old Fashioned. This was an interesting stylistic lineup - I'd never had Old Forester before.
Glad to see some posts on this thread after a 2 month pause. Some things I've bought and tried recently that were new and interesting.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B518 (66.7%)
Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye (59.8%)
Weller Special Reserve
Oban Little Bay ($26 at Costco!)
Scored the 2018 releases of High West Midwinter's Night Dram and Thomas H Handy Rye that I am looking forward to.
Booker's
got some Angel's Envy that I am going to try on Turkey day
At end of in-laws anniversary party, Balvenie Triple Cask 12 year
Kirkland 18 year old Highland Scotch Whisky. Pretty good at $50

My condolences. Losing a parent is never easy at any age.

Lots of Appleton and Red Stripe while listening to reggae Christmas songs on the beach in Jamaica. Christmas in the Caribbean, we’ve got everything but snow.

Small pour of Van Winkle Lot B after all the young party goers passed out to welcome 2019
It'd been a while, but I got back to drinking some Eagle Rare 10yr, both neat and in an old fashioned. Easily my go to bourbon for less than 40$. That and Old Bardstown Estate.
Four Roses Single Barrel, neat. Nice pairing with some leftover apple crisp.

That is a good spirit and reasonable price

Where do you get Eagle Rare? Hard to get out West.
David James Gold Small Batch 10yr barrel proof Whiskey. If you find this buy it. Has won Double Gold 2 years in a row at the San Fran World Spirits Competition. Most recently this past weekend.

Eagle Rare is pretty readily available in SD. My most recent bottle was purchased at Costco. It's also available at Vons and BevMo here. And to clarify, it's their basic bottling, not their fancy 17 year old which I've never encountered.

Parker Heritage Curaçao Barrel-really tasty
