Because lazing about the house is thirsty work.

Should’ve tasted @KingsCoWhiskey Empire Rye before starting on the smoked pig shots (kielbasa, bacon, smoked jalapeño cream cheese). But it’s got a nice young-ish rye nose, and from what I can tell kind of a sharp spice cake on the palate. Probably doesn’t get lost in cocktails.

@DerbyCityPhil For the Indian export market?

@VancouverGuero The cheesy gold foil revitalizing thing. Seems to call for more of an, “Oh, yes?” than “OHH YESSS!!” But I’m less invested in this sort of thing than I was six or ten years ago.

Need to update this, but Navy Yard is probably still the best place for a frozen crawl. Trouble Bird,Takoda, Catahoula, El Rey, Solace, Royal Sands, and more.

Maker’s Mark Heart Release 2024. Astonishingly dynamic finish, with the oak actively shoving the suble sweet notes from the palate out of the way. Glad I tasted it, don’t need a bottle. A “Try this” for bourbon drinkers, a “Try something else” for others.

.@baltspiritsco Peated Bourbon. 17.5% Bairds Heavily Peated Malt, 24% Bono Rye, 58.5% Boone County White Corn. Complex and fun, with the interest coming from the mashbill instead of the finishing. A little noisy on the palate, finishes with corn.

It’s hard to fathom the number of people who had to say, “Yes,” at every step along the way.

@JBONAMASSA Hey now, some of us only played tuba in school band because we couldn’t handle 4th trumpet.

The Ward Heeler: 2 oz rye, 1 oz mandarin orange juice, 1/2 oz Cherry Heering, 2 dashes Peychaud’s. (Two of these and you’ll vote for anyone.)

@Bill_Linnane Time to reboot _Ulysses_?

@obky_bourbonite @greenriver1885 @visitowensboro Printing the slogan right next to the distillery license number is a choice.

Feeling ready for the Preakness. @baltspiritsco single barrel bourbon is particularly delightful this year, sweet and warm with just a touch of oaky tanins.

When today is 40 degrees colder than yesterday, the New York New York helps make up the difference.

Clyde May’s Special Reserve: Simple sweet oak on the palate at a warm 110 proof, the highlight is a pleasantly viscous mouthfeel.

@DavidMarra @limerickwhiskey @garpitcher @Bill_Linnane The explosions will take out most home distillers who don’t read directions long before the methanol.

A bourbon sandwich! @CatalystHotdogs

[WhiskyTitan @web4O]

for those wondering. Yes this bottle is real. Yes it was sold at Costco. Yes it’s currently selling for $500 on the secondary market.
