One of the newer Evan Williams single barrels, with this particular one being bottled two months ago. I only have these from 4 different years, but they have proven to be reliable pours, and a solid value as well for a single barrel. What are your thou… https://t.co/CH15To0dKu

On #TurkeyTuesday, I figured I would finally give the Longbranch a try. It seems a decent enough dram on first pour, and I expect it will open up a bit more with some rest. I didn't originally intend to obscure so much of the bottle, but there was a bi… https://t.co/hBLyS1Wz2s

Having just heard of this on the web a few days ago, I was surprised to see cases of it when I went into @bevysliquorworld the other day. This is release 001 of the Bulleit Blenders' Select. From the Bulleit web page, "Limited-edition 100 proof bourbon… https://t.co/Nr8k1MEJBk

Peach Street Distillers is over in Palisade, Colorado, about 3 hours west of where I live. As good as Georgia peaches are, they pale in comparison to the ones grown in Palisade. In any event, this outfit is doing the whole grain-to-glass thing, and thu… https://t.co/DBWySNJX9q

I received a bottle of the Rabbit Hole Heigold for Christmas and thought it was decent, so I decided to pick up a couple of their other offerings when I was in @bevysliquorworld the other day. I have only opened and had a sip of the Cavehill so far, and… https://t.co/nsGLn8Xds7

This is Buffalo Trace--before it grows up to be part of the Antique Collection! I promised @picsandpours (consumer of all @bourbon_in_indiana's whiskey) that I would post a photo with a bison from Yellowstone. This was a Spring calf photographed at the… https://t.co/GmCIPpM1nY

FIrst off, image compositing is not my thing, but I have wanted to do this one for a while so forgive the imperfection there -- this was quick and dirty on the editing side. The bourbon was photographed today with studio lighting, while I shot the geyse… https://t.co/xHKoBRZ9zq

I have been waiting for some time since this was originally announced to acquire, and it finally arrived today. The box and bottle presentation is stunning, and thankfully, the juice is pretty darned good too!! Of course I have just had the initial neck… https://t.co/1Fqav5mcMg

You might guess I am a fan of Barrell Bourbon ... you would be correct!!! Of all the bottles here, only two are unopened because they each have a duplicate -- they're for drinkin', not for lookin' at!! Naturally I had to put the annual Barrell Craft Spir… https://t.co/3mPpRBodA8

These are the only 3 Booker's expressions I have acquired, being only just past a year into my bourbon journey. From left to right are 2019-02 "Shiny Barrel," 2019-03 "Country Ham" and 2019-04 "Beaten Biscuits." I tried them all as I got them (and loved… https://t.co/L535BsQK8v

I have not gotten hold of a new Larceny Barrel Proof yet, so I am still not one of the cool kids. However, I did find my first ever store pick (@bevysliquorworld) of Larceny the other day and decided to give it a try, since the standard fare is good on … https://t.co/kMtpdgEpjS

My first taste of High West American Prairie Bourbon was back in December at @nolitahall in San Diego, and I was suitably impressed. I was in my local Colorado store today to to pickup a new club pick and saw this limited release @davidsonsliquor pick o… https://t.co/0V0AI7IH0V

[Joe Rotruck @JoeRotruck]

These are the first single barrel Buffalo Trace store picks I have gotten (@bevysliquorworld), and I am looking forward to opening one later this evening. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!!⁠

I finally got around to doing a photo of the Old Elk bourbon with its apparently very popular pouring attachment. I really like this bourbon but not had a chance to try any of their other offerings. A trip to the distillery is high on my to-do list, as … https://t.co/xS0UjahUpe

Something for #TurkeyTuesday! I figured I would take advantage of the late afternoon sun and the fresh snow to grab a photo of these Kentucky Spirit bottles. These are all from the same barrel, bottled back in April of 2017 -- I have no idea why the sto… https://t.co/f9HNZhzpCO

After all the good press I have been seeing from the Instagram bourbon community over the past year, I was finally able to acquire a couple of bottles of New Riff Single Barrel. After cracking one open last night, I must agree this is pretty tasty stuff… https://t.co/f3GUmyqB0Q
