One of the reviews I watched a while back said if you mix 80% Wild Turkey Single Barrel Barrel Proof with 20% Russell's Reserve 10 year, you get an approximation of Russell's Reserve 15 year thats $400/bottle........
THATS A HARD NOPE! I now have both of these in stock now tho!

I like the RR 10 year. Its a good value at $35-$40 bottle for sure. It has a pretty decent nose, not overly complex tho. This will sound weird, but it has a bit of lacquer thinner smell to it. For those who didnt paint cars back in the 80's, lacquer paint had a pleasant smell to it and the thinner had a sweet smell to it. The taste is pretty sweet and a bit smokey. Very smooth. There's also a faint hint of something that reminds me of a good Irish Whisky like Writers Tears or Red Breast. The more I've been sipping on it an analyzing it, the more it reminds me of Writers Tears Copper Pot.

The WT SB Barrel Proof is $55 to $60 and it's got a fantastic nose!It tastes pretty good too. I think it's fair priced at $60 but it could use a bit more sweetness to combat just a bit of bitterness on the finish. It has a pleasant tobacco like taste. It doesnt have anything in the taste that reminds me of Irish Whisky. This has a pure American Bourbon taste!

EAGLE RARE!

This is another expression from Buffalo Trace. Its close to E.H. Taylor Single Batch. Comes in at 90 proof. Has a nose heavyness with more flavors and ethanol smell than Taylor even though Taylor is 100 proof. Better smell IMO. Has a decent aftertaste that lingers for a long time. Finish like just a bit of pipe tobacco. The Taylor Single Batch has a bitterness that the Eagle Rare has much less of. The smell of the EHTSB is lighter and not as complex. I have to say I'll probably pass on the Taylor in favor of the Eagle Rare in the future.

Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof

DONT FUKIN BUY IT!!!!

Shit is $80 and just aint worth it. I'll leave it there.

The regular $60/bottle Holladay bottled in bond is pretty decent tho.

I had a sip of John Barr Scotch last night. It's cheap and should be. Nuff said.

There's a Starlight Blackberry thats good too. Only about $24 and easy to find. Even though its blackberry and its good, it tastes way different than the Crown version. https://starlightdistillery.com/blackberry-whiskey/

I wound up with 1/2 bottle of each so I mixed em in the same bottle. I like it!

 Oh yeah this was last week and I healed up pretty fast. Got my PH re balanced and everything lol.

 What a friggin nightmare that was.

 I don't know how I tore myself up so bad but I could barely walk all night.

 I had to lean forward to pee..because if pee touched that area the pain was fucking blinding!

 It was horrible lol

I cant remember which antibiotic I get on that makes me flair up real bad but when I take it, SHEESH! I envision my ass swells up like a baboon in heat! I pretty much have to get off the toilet when I'm done and get in the shower. Its about as bad a colonoscopy prep. I think they're big white horse pills tho.

 This was ammoxicillan. Taken on an empty stomach makes you shit yourself lol

I stopped drinking whisky, but I used to like a bit of Four Roses for a treat or just good old Evan Williams up on the shelf.

I got most of my refreshments ready for when my boy is here next week. I bought 4 flats of beer(each flat is 24 beers). I got two 1.5 litre bottles of red wine for the old lady and my boy's old lady. Plus 2 750 ml bottles each of Crown Royal, Canadian Club Rye, and Alberta Premium.

Now I need to buy for some refreshments for the second day they are here.

I bought a bottled of Four Roses Single Barrel when I was down in Orlando at my daughters earlier this year. I told em to give it away. It was FUKIN TERRIBLE!

I see Evan Williams as a cheaper version of Jack Daniels. I like several of the Heaven Hill expressions! I even like Evan Williams!

I only liked bourbon. Four Roses or Evan or that Basil Heyden stuff.  That was too fucking expensive.  Evan and Jack are similar, but Evan tasted smoother to me. Jim Beam ain't bad either.  Don't matter now, I laid off that juice.
