Fiancee told me with the new bottles I was required to clear some space on the bar cart So finishing up a handle of Evan Williams BiB and Smooth Ambler Old Scout. Probably just gonna move to Buffalo Trace after that.

Meanwhile she's passed out on the couch after three dirty martinis...so I'm just finishing these bottles and watching The Last Dance. Slept on it hard, just started episode 1 about 20 minutes ago.

The value on that bottle is just great. Really good whiskey for under $20 (or $35 for the 1.75L bottle I had).

What's a better tasting and more classy Hennessy?

Thots love it but I can't deal with it need alternatives

I've only ever had Hennessy and Dusse, so can't provide much. Personally thought Dusse was better but know others who felt the opposite.

Just ball out and get that Louis XIII.

Definitely eyeing any suggestions though because I quite liked cognac. Also kingfoamnyc keep that Louis for yourself and give thots the cheaper stuff obviously.

Youve tried Hennessy VSOP Privilege? I’ve heard it’s better. Haven’t had either in a while personally.

About to get started.....

Hit a nice little lick. Now I’m truly done buying anything for a while unless it’s a unicorn. I’m stocked all the way up. Blanton’s store picks. BT is also a store pick. Both EC’s are C919. EHT Rye and Small Batch.

Not too familiar with store picks, does it mean the store samples the barrels beforehand and selects the best ones?

It's interesting to me, seems similar to the independent bottlers in Europe. Only they buy the barrel and bottle it themselves and slap their own label on it. So each barrel turns into a completely separate release.

Correct... Some a very similar to the regular release but others are wildly different... Don’t get a ton on my side of town but Detroit area seems to be flooded with them

Interesting concept. The distillers must keep a number of high quality barrels for themselves to ensure they don't get stuck with the worst barrels for the regular release.
Buying single barrel bourbon seems like a lottery sometimes

new natural wine pickup

Las Jaras Wines - Superbloom

 

[Hunnynutcheerios]

Riesling is always my go to for wine. Also there;s a local NY beer from Bull and Barrell and its Honey Blueberry and its amazing! As far as liquor i've been doing a lot of Henny and Redbull lately

I saw this posted on Reddit. I am kinda excited for this. I like the 101 Rye, and I had RR SiB Rye at the distillery, but I don’t see the SiB around me. It’s like an hour away, unfortunately. Hopefully, this lands at a store around me.

Hennessy privilege is the better and classier Hennessy it’s a step up from the standard bottle.

I drink mostly cognac when I drink hard liquor and was never a fan of dusse

If I see this and/or the WT 17yr BiB, I am buying them.

I love wild turkey, I need this

I really like the regular Rate Breed. That 17yr does sound really good

A couple pickups for the weekend

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Gonna try tonight

 

[tmay407]

Going out to Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co. tomorrow morning to pick up a couple bottles of TX Barrel Proof whiskey (their 2nd ever release of it).

Thank God the fiancee is out of town this weekend so I can find somewhere to hide the new bottles (or finish a few of them along with several cigars)

 

[Chopper]

Give me the Rye all day, easily.
