It's early, but it's the wife and my 6th Anniversary; so we've been a little fast and loose this weekend...

Just had a wee dram of whistlepig 12 aged in Madiera port casks. This is a wonderfully complex scotchy Bourbon. Love the port cask finish.

Will also get into some Four Roses single Barrel Select (OESV) later today. Then some pappy 23 year for dinner- got it as a wedding gift and only sip it on special occasions.

Slainte!

Buffalo Trace, its always one of my Favorites. I have a bottle of Angle's Envy but that is usually for special occasions.

Later today opening a bottle of Rhetoric from Orphan Barrel.
20 y.o. No idea what to expect. Having a bit of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit in the meantime.

Wild Turkey later this evening.

RoughStock Montana Bourbon.

Not as good as my usual Woodford Reserve, but decent. Particularly for something coming from as young a distiller as RoughStock.

I'll be having two fingers of Buffalo Trace as well. One ice cube mellows it out the way I prefer it. Cool but not cold.

Actually just got my first bottle a week ago. I'd heard much about it but never could locate it at my local base class XI store. It's as good as the reports, although I have to admit that a Texas whiskey has become my current amber beverage of choice. Made in a tiny distillery on the outskirts of San Antonio, it's worth the $50 a bottle if you have an opportunity to buy it:

But hats off to Kentucky and the whiskey capital of the world. From Woodfords to Wild Turkey to the Beam Small Batches, Makers Mark, and the rest, keep distilling that corn and rye in those beautiful oak barrels, cause I personally would hate to have to drink Scotch for the rest of my natural life.

YMMV,

I just started seeing "Angels Envy". passed it up for Buffalo Trace this time, as the wife gets on me for buying more than one bottle at a time...LOL!

I'll give it a try next weekend. You got a preferred cigar recommendation to mate it with? Something light like Dominican Monte Cristo, or maybe a toothy maduro?
