    So this is a new release form whomever owns the Hirsch name these days. These things can be hit or miss but at around $40 it was worth giving it a try. I have to say that it's actually very good. Deep and complex flavor profile, especially for a regular proof offering. It's not the best thing you'll ever taste but compares very favorably to other bourbon at that price point and exceeds many other higher priced ones. I'm inserting it into my under $50/bottle daily rotation, and I'd recommend picking up a bottle and to try one for yourselves. It does have that potential of being readily available at the start but then become less so and more expensive.

    Went in my local spot at lunchtime, he had some Alberta Cask Strength Rye behind the counter and I grabbed one. After reading a couple reviews I promptly bought another online.

    Another venture slightly off-topic for a rum-related post (my apologies but this one's super exciting).

    A friend of ours down in Texas just located a bottle of Black Tot Last Consignment!! This is a serious grail bottle for us, so naturally he received the venmo forthwith. Meeting up with him when we go to New Orleans next month so that it isn't damaged in shipping (and there's the whole technicality of legality shipping spirits to Maryland, it's a real mess and i'm no attorney so best to remain cautiously safe).

    Anywho. Sorry for the distraction, back to the whisk(e)y based discussions. ;)

    I have a few bottles and really need to open one. Sipping on Eagle Rare and it’s about gone.

    Current bottle of ER is pretty full; should be at least a couple more headed home with me from NOLA next month (Sazerac House and also coming back via Frankfort, so guess where THAT pit stop's gonna be :D )

    Not sure where you're at in MD when you're here but I'd be happy to grab you a bottle if they have em. :)

    Thanks for the offer! I’m set for now. If it gets low I’ll send out the Bat Signal. Eagle Signal??

    You'd be even happier with a bottle of Stagg Jr.

    The Elijah Craig warmed me up after grilling dinner. 21f while grilling, dropping to 1f tonight. Nice evening warmer.

    So first let me say that I had a decent harvest today ... some classics and some new stuff to try ...

    Then, having done literally nothing today (or in recent memory) to deserve it, I thought I would treat myself this evening by cracking open one of my all time favorites.

    However, that triggered several of my snooty friends who were way too outraged that I dared drink M10 out of a shot glass, as if it were inconsistent with my permanent state of peasantness ... but, in order to placate them, I decided to do it the right way.

    So that's been my day. :)

    Picked up this bottle of William Larue Weller the other day and planned to open for the Buc’s win. Unfortunately was out to the wee hours of the morning so will open this week.
