Has anyone tried Straight Edge? I nearly polished off an entire 1/5 the night of my 50th Birthday Party. It’s one of the easiest drinks on a couple of cubes. Fantastic!

My arm is officially twisted.

I always wanted to try some of the varieties from Islay Isle, but I'm probably a little too low brow to appreciate what supposedly makes it special.

Getting the boy in for his first dip in the pool this evening.

Bourbon will be had.

I’ll report back.

I’ve had it. Big fan of Dave Phinney...same guy who owns the Orin Swift brand (famous for the Prisoner blend). I think it’s great but some true Kentucky bourbon fans think it’s a joke, over-oaked, and too sweet.

I agree with you. It’s way to damn easy drinking...in a good way.

Private barrel pick from the Arizona Bourbon Society. Been trying to make this bottle last. A few members are back at 4 roses buying another barrel to provide us another bottle this year. Fantastic stuff.

Bulleit Barrel Strength tonight.

Drinking Maker's tonight. Always a good cheap go-to.

Still not better than Buffalo Trace, but it'll do.

While Maker’s isn’t overly pricey I certainly do not put it in the cheap category.

Drinking Bourbon Bulleit tonight. Must say I've grown to like this. Wasn't a fan my first time trying it grant it the guy who brought it to the Halloween party has us doing shots of it.

I got it for $23 at Gomers. I thought it was a solid deal.

Prices are a bit fluctuated where I am. The few places it's offered, they want it for $60/handle.

I buy from a place that sells it for $40/handle, but that's because it's the owner's dad's favorite.

And try the rye version. Of the other ryes I've tried (Crown, Knob Creek, Pendleton), Bulleit is the best.

Was at at a store yesterday and just happened to ask if they had any Blanton's knowing they very occasionally get it in. Got rewarded with them having one bottle in the back.

Recently went through a bottle of Bookers a little while back. The cask strength is a bit much for harshness up front but it just explodes with flavor after the initial burn.

Forgot about this guy and amusing someone else stumbled upon his YouTube reviews. He does good scotch ones.
