Picked up a bag of beans last weekend, thought you might like. Definitely has a bourbon flavor and aroma.

I found some Travelers for $37. I thought it was pretty good. Especially at that price.

Costco in Murrieta had some last week, I think about $30.

My father sent me these. Love the 1920 era bottles.

The guy who started Bhakta sold his stake in Whistle Pig for this new venture . Check out the web link below.

The Whiskey is quite tasty as well. Would love to try the others, but it gets pricy.

$31 @ Costco in Fountain Valley today. Looking forward to it. You can’t go wrong with Buffalo Trace at that price point

That’s a great bottle. I have both the C and F . The F is slightly better in my opinion.

Ive been meaning to post this since Super Bowl, but work got in the way.
My parents stayed with us for the better part of the week leading up to Super Bowl to watch the kids because of some issues going on in my wife’s family. My stepdad loves old fashions, so I decided to try a Clarified Old Fashion recipe I had. It was a big hit so I made a bottle for the Super Bowl. Again, a huge hit. I urge anyone who likes them to try it out. I screen shot the recipe below. I didnt add the citric acid. I made my Demerara syrup 1:1 out of turbinado sugar.
Also, I didn’t use Kentucky Owl. I just had an empty bottle! I used a $20 of Old Forester and a $20 of Bullit. I mixed it all, and let it sit over night. I then strained it through 2 coffee filters.
The drink is amazingly smooth and brings out different flavors. Even the women liked them.

My coworkers got me a couple of bottles after their first hand experience with my new boss.

Dude, having pappy 15 with ice? At around $150 a pour you need to go neat, then maybe a drop of water for the flavor change.

You drink what you want how you want and I'll do the same. LOL I pulled the ice shortly after same effect as a few drops to open it up.

Has anybody had a taste of this? Charles Goodnight. Just picked up a couple bottles. It recently won the World’s Best Bourbon according to the 2024 London Spirits Competition. Here’s the mash bill: 60% corn, 36% high rye, 4% barley. @$65

 

[calkid]

Going to find some tomorrow. Higher proof than I normally care for but I need to try it.

Higher proof than I like as well, but it doesn’t come off that hot. I think you’ll like it.

About 8-10 state run Utah Liquor Stores had a special allocated sale of select bourbons last Saturday. Only one bottle per person but you can get back in line as soon as you pay for the first bottle. So my wife and I went to one store and one of my employee's and his wife went to another store. We did ok. By the way we had one more bottle of Blanton's but its empty already.

And a couple sweet treats from the wife for our wedding anniversary

So the other day I went to Costco for supplies, and I walked through the liquor department...

You ruined me dude. Not a single thing there looked good.

Thanks a lot!
