My 1st drunken experience involved bourbon at UVA and I’ve gotten back into it over the last 8 years. Loving & learning more at our place in Covington, KY

Heaven Hill released this Phoenix blend of 18&30 year bourbons, and I could only get a sample. It is a solid pour and would love to find a bottle. Cheers🥃

Side by side of the $2500 Seasoned Wood and Cured Oak 2.0 as the original release is in That ballpark. The new one is quite good but a much different level than the OG. Cheers🥃

Anyone ever heard of this one? Another “schtick”as they have a floating rickhouse on the river in Kentucky leading out to the Mississippi but it is quite good for the price. Cheers🥃

I won’t buy NDA bottles as I want to know where my bourbon comes from. This was a gift and know a lot of people that rave about Rare Perfection but can anyone enlighten me on who they are? Cheers🥃

Another bottle kill as I am not a Jack fan but these barrel proof rye SPs are very good. Cheers🥃

Thanks for all of the input as I have decided to go with the Michter’s 10 year as it is the lowest proof and the consummate bourbon for all palates. Cheers🥃 @MichtersWhiskey

Beautiful weekend at Oakmont and I am done for the season as I have played 66 rounds this year which is a personal best and that is enough. This is the 6th hole and I have aced it 4x in my career. Cheers🥃🏌️

Fresh crack of this year’s King and it is going to be great as neck pour was a little hot! 14 years is their sweet spot imo as the older ones are too oaky. Not pleased that they shrunk the bottle to 700ml though🤬

Since combining my two collections, I have been working on bottle kills so I can get my few unopened open. Upping the age and proof on this as these WHH are some of my favorite annual releases. Cheers🥃

NEVER AGAIN will I waste my time to try and get these bottles as their system stinks, unlike New Riff’s🤬They are still one of my three favorite distilleries but they do not know how to distribute their bottles to people that will actually drink them🤷🏼‍♂️ Cheers anyways 🥃
