so true, so true-
needed a little Bulleit barrel strength to help me last night...

Yes! Between retirement and the world as we knew it ending, I've decided to become a rye and bourbon unofficial amateur reviewer! My first rule is: never judge a single bottle - it takes at least three to properly evaluate.

And of course, it's Rye whiskey!

Fortunately, I'm not cursed with a palate than can easily discern the difference between the top 6 or 7 ryes, and am perfect happy with the also-rans.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.

The latest one I have been enjoying is Smooth Ambler Contradiction. https://smoothambler.com

I'm on the second bottle of Buffalo Trace. So far, so good...

As for retirement, well the best I have is that it's time to retire to bed!

Eagle Rare is the Buffalo Trace distillery’s better offering and is more than worth the minimal price premium, IMO.

I just picked up a bottle of Stranahan’s Blue Peak The flavor is more like a highland scotch than a Colorado whiskey.

Since I can't find my govino like

Just threw together a whiskey sour with vanilla ice cream. Anyone have a name for this combination?

Buffalo Trace is one of my go to sippers. Eagle Rare is hard to find in Arizona. Road Trip! Problem solved:



A tour, a tasting and a couple of bottles of Eagle Rare along with one of these:



Excuse the lowly plastic cups... My Pugski Govino Rocks glasses are on order for keeping in the camper.

No Pappy at the tasting or in the gift shop however.

Eagle rare should be called Eagle Common around here. Almost every liquor store has it usually under $40. Blanton’s OTOH is not too common and is usually over $100.

There's no way I'd pay anything close to $100 for Blanton's. I have one in my cabinet for guests who have heard of it and are curious, but don't drink it myself. I prefer stuff that is more potent.
