Happened to try a nice chain liquor store that’s not exactly located in a good area of town and scored some Col. Taylor small batch along with finding a good source of Weller Special Reserve and Buff Trace. Haven’t had the Weller SR in a really long time and couldn’t recall if it’s actually good or just hard to find now from the reputation of the better variants.

Had them both during this preseason game. The Col. Taylor is a bit different flavor profile than some of the other Buff Trace brands I've tried. Really enjoyed it.

The Weller SA is a bit rough around the edges for my tastes but has some stuff going for it. Would love to try the more aged versions. Figure I'll enjoy this one more with ice which is not bad for something this cheap.

Weller SR I think you mean.

And if so, I can't believe that take. Or maybe I can, coming from a softy who likes the simple, yet boring complexity of Blanton's!

Got into the Weller SR during the game some more and have a different take and still drinking it neat after threatening some ice. Think I made the mistake before of trying it after Col. Taylor which highlighted the rough edges of the Weller more.

Still say the same that it could use some more aging and would love to try the better ones. The SR is quite solid if not great when considering you can get a giant handle bottle for $32 if you can actually find it.

Added two bottles to the bourbon stash this week.

Parent's gifted me the American Prairie Bourbon for my birthday.

Muled the Montana Whiskey back in my checked bag from vacation. It's a young whiskey but the peculiar taste of pecan wood and hints of chocolate were like nothing I've tasted in bourbon whiskey before. Not sure how's that's being done but it's fantastic drinking.

Sometimes being open for weeks or months will improve the taste as you likely know.

I LOVE Old Weller Antique. Find some. You'll absolutely love it.

I don't see a study on the 8oz of high proof bourbon and 4 beers I had yesterday?

Until then, that study blows.

Costco has Smooth Ambler Old Scout for 30 bucks so picked up a bottle to try.
Haven't cracked it open yet.

Pretty nice price on that. That's even hard to find here. Enjoy!

Just picked up a 15 year old whistle pig and a 16 year old Hoshstadter's family reserve. Beautiful

Holy ****, man. Did you drop $400 on that? Also, can I come over and hang out?

I recently purchased Barrell Bourbon 15 Cask Strength. It is pretty damn good. I probably wouldn't have picked it up for retail at $100, but I've got a vendor buddy that hooks me up from time to time.
