  1. This is to add to the Eagle Rare posts. Now don’t get me wrong, I love BT mashbill #1 and have some stellar older aged store pick bottles, but this Old Prentice juice is on a whole different level. What I get on the nose, is Lammes chocolate longhorns and oak. It tastes of caramel, chocolate, pecan, vanilla, oak, dried cherry and orange peel. What I like best is the full long robust oily finish that seems to never end.
  2. Jefferson Ocean is just gimmicky. I don’t believe the normal palate can pick up any briny notes. It ain’t like drinking Ardbeg with its umami bomb and tasting of fresh seaweed. Oh and hard pass on the 16yr presidential select...the most disappointing presidential release To date. If you get a chance, find a sample of the 18yr PS Stitzel Weller Barrel...that’s some good juice.
  3. I thought it was the best rye release of 2017. Although sourced, Dixon did a good job picking barrels. I get a lot of tropical fruit with a little funk, light smoke, vanilla and rye bread. As far as his bourbons, if you can procure a bottle, look for Batch 1 and Batch 6. The latest Batch 7 sucks like Kevin Morgan.
  4. Have you tried the bonded Old Overholt? It’s meant to compete with Rittenhouse.
  5. I prefer a Manhattan with 2 parts Pikesville, 1 part Carpano Antica, a few dashes of Angostura, 2 Luxardo cherries. Chilled, straight and in a lowball. Fuck the girly coupe glass.
  6. Thought I’d share something bourbon-related. Wifey had this barrel proof birthday cake made for my 50th this weekend. She also made a burnt orange bobblehead cake topper. Lots of good bottles consumed including Old Forester Birthday bourbon.
  7. First time caller, longtime listener....good interview BL! Congrats to the team for putting up the Surly!
