Limited Edition Small Batch Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2025
Yeah! If you can find it, have someone else pay for it!
2025 limited. Great way to start the year. And “best” is a high standard coming from you so if I ever see these regardless of year I’m making your pour some!
Aw shucks! It really is that good. Keep your eyes open at high end bars and restaurants, maybe you can sample it for less than an arm and a leg

Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024
Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!
Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

Consecration Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Aged Ale with Currants 2008
2008 inaugural batch. Cellared well. Delicious. Sour ale still singing. Would say stewed currants 17 years in. — 6 months ago

I had a bottle of this limited edition in 2021, and at the time it was one of the best bourbons I'd ever enjoyed. Got my hands on a bottle of 2025 and it now costs considerably more. Really great juice. Although 109 proof, this does not throw too much heat. It tastes very much like a wheater (which it is not), yet the rye content is also prominent from the nose through the sip. Cherry, leather, cornbread, and cigar box. Best way I can describe it is that EH Taylor and Pappy 15 had a baby. It's very good.
