Damn, That's what I'm talking about!

Stop by for a pour and a cigar anytime!

Tried the Old Fitz & last night, I like it. Nice touch of wheated sweetness on the palate.

I have yet to open up one of my bottles. I will this weekend. How did you like the Rojas Al Pastor cigar?

I am on the hunt for Eagle 12. Intel says it should be landing in NTX soon. -(P

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I like the Al Pastor, a bit different flavor than the other Tacos with the same quality, Tony.

The secondary on the Eagle Rare 12 here was insane to watch. I'd be in at $99 tops.

Sounds like what I'd expect. I would probably convince myself to buy one if I saw it on a shelf but not going out of my way. A couple years ago we did an old fitz tasting where we tried new make, 2, 4, 6 and 8 yr followed by the 19yr that had just come out. That mashbill can do some cool stuff at higher ages, but 8 and under was just generally sweet for me, once they start getting to 11+ the magic slowly starts happening

Good luck! Had a friend grab one of the ones they released on Father's day, he was very impressed, said it was a step above the best ER10 pick he's tried. I'll be on the lookout for one but not expecting to see one for a while

One of theses days :)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Manager recommendation: I have 2 reasons to absolutely hate it. First, it's a rye. Second, it's finished. In French Barrique barrels even.

100% Michigan grown rye and Great Lakes water. Is that something to brag about?;) Two James is Detroit's first distillery since prohibition.

Why did I buy it? The manager said it was his second favorite whiskey of 2024. and this is the guy who pulls me aside or even calls when something allocated comes in. So yes, I will humor him. I'll report back...assuming it doesn't kill me.

You’re a braver man than me, but sometimes you have to take one for the team.

How bad could it be, Tom? :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Keep being funny, Boys, and I'll bring the bottle to Shack. ;) :lr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just catching up after vacation here ... it must have killed poor Tom :)
