I'm on a huge barrel proof kick right now.

All of my other bottles are getting ignored in favor of Stagg Jr, Old Forester 1920 and Elijah Craig Barrel Proof.

Wild Turkey 101

Hadn't been to my honey hole in two weeks...what's behind the counter when I arrive?

Weller 12.

Thank you, Bourbon Gods.

too lazy to go to store Rare Eagle again this weekend.

Thoughts on these I just bought tonight?

Weller Special Reserve
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof (116.8 proof)

Wild Turkey definitely a sipping bourbon.

Weller Special Reserve is hard to find and nothing super special. Decent sipper but nothing spectacular and not worth the hassle of the work it can take to secure a bottle.

The Rare Breed is absolute gold for an easy to find bourbon. One of my favorites.

Dang man, that's fantastic!

What did you pay?

They had shelf full of special reserve in multiple sizes.

I am really liking the Rare Breed. I asked for a recommendation and a guy in the store just bought one, pulled out a shot glass he carried with him and gave me a quick sample. Guy said " You know I'm a drunk when I carry my own shot glass". lol

Only if he is doing shots of good bourbon out of it.

I believe he was. Had it boxed up. I believe it was new.

The liquor store I work at has a tasting bar where you can sample shit for free.

Anyone shooting good bourbon is worse than an alcoholic.

Got into the office today had two packages on my desk a bottle of Makers private select from El Paso Partners and a 1.75 L bottle of regular Makers from ONG pretty nice surprise never had the private select. The Makers will go over big at the family get together. Cant wait for Christmas Holiday ;)

A little Elmer T Lee for me tonight. 3 fingers and 2 cubes. Perfect

Makers mark tonight.

How do you fellas usually drink Makers?
