How are these tasting this year?a98183f6c0d400f59f7d117ce4452bd9.jpg

Toasted is straight garbage, nowhere near as good as basic 94 pf Elijah Craig.  It has a bad wet oak/soggy cardboard nose and palate that I just can’t get down with.  
 

ECBP is good all the time and I especially love it in cocktails. The latest C923 is good, but I was hoping for great on the 13.5 years age statement.

I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

Everything High West has put out the last 5 years has been pedestrian.
Except for YKY.
And yes, I’m including MWND.
Hasn’t been a great one since act 4.

I still like MWND, but the the Constellation acquisition hasn’t been good for High West. 
 

Bourye was great back in the day.

Boss Hog side by side was crazy.
Most unique whiskey I’ve had in years.

The hype of the 13DO is real.
Just flat out incredible.

what barrel finish is that double rye?  i will clean a hobo's butthole for another bottle of the fume blanc.

Quality- Still Austin Cask Strength

Price- pick a Garrison Brothers special edition, but it won’t be better than the StillAustin.

Lol wut

 

Garrison Brothers Laguna Madre is the best thing to ever be distilled in this state. And extra marks for not being a bitch and actually distilling it, ya know, at their distillery

ORVW won my blind tasting at Public Services a few years back. I had it higher than Pappy 20, WLW, and GTS.

I would also have it higher than Pappy 23, and of course Lot B. I haven’t had the pleasure yet on Pappy 15 or Pappy Rye.

To each his own. The proof, age, and wheat of ORVW checks all my boxes, and there’s not a huge oak note like 20 and 23.
