New Riff, Traverse City, Four Roses, Russell’s Picks all coming through in the next few days...
12 year MGP that is supposed to be quite good... Waiting to crack if I get the 11 year MGP from Old Pepper to see how they compare.

My Total Wine has been getting a STEADY supply of Buffalo Trace, Wellers Old Reserve, Angels Envy, Wilderness Trail and a few others. Had an Old Scout Barrel Select store pick on the shelves last night (750 ml for $50). I was so tempted but ended up just grabbing a handle of EW BiB.
Also seem to have a good stream of Knob Creek 12 yr for like $60. I know I've seen discussion about that one on here before. Let me know if anyone wants me to grab a bottle for you.

Almost bought some from the online store outta San Diego I usually use. Didn't wanna pay for the shipping on just one bottle though.

I decided to go for the big boy. Lol
Also saw the Total Wine near me had a handle of Evan Williams BiB for $20 before tax
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
On a side note, I grabbed a Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel this week. It was good, and I’ll post a pic next time, but I don’t know, I might just rather have Rare Breed. I don’t have a super refined pallet, so that could be it. Luckily, they had it listed wrong on the shelf so I get $10 off lol. I did see the new label on one and it’s nice to see the age of the barrel and where it came from. Sorry for the long post.

I love wild turkey 101. Great sipper neat or on the rocks. great mixer and cant beat the price for the quality you are getting. perfect for those new to bourbon or connoisseurs imo

Was actually looking to get the Glenfiddich 21, but she couldn't find the box. So I opted instead for two of the Glenfiddich 18. Which works for me since the two bottles were only 10 bucks more.
Plan on doing a review sometime soon

On a little date night with the GF. A Manhattan with 101 rye Turkey. I think a Manhattan is better than an Old Fashioned, but I’ll still just take whiskey neat.

Haven’t had a store pick of Full Proof but when I bought the regular, I did not like it at all... I didn’t think there was much to it... Not a fan of any of the 1792 that I have tasted to be honest.[/COLOR]

I might give their regular line a try just because of the price, but not a big fan of it so far. Who knows though, might change when I revisit it later.
PM me your address and I'll see about shipping you a taster of it.

I like the full proof quite a bit. If you like that Old Forester banana flavor you’ll like the 1792 full proof. Mine is a store pick though so could be hit or miss depending on barrel.

Introduced a friend to whisky today with a small tasting:
JW Platinum Label
Glenlivet 12
Nikka from the Barrel
Glengoyne 21
Balvenie week of peat 14 years
Laphroaig 10
His least favorite was the Nikka from the Barrel and his favorite was the Balvenie week of peat. My least favorite was the Glengoyne 21 and my favorite the Laphroaig 10. Balvenie a close second.
Never had the Laphroaig before and expected the worst based on the flavor descriptions I've read (medicinal, band-aids) but instead got a nicely balanced peaty, vegetal and slightly sweet whisky.
Might do a tasting again soon, definitely a lot of fun.
