Whiskey Thread (2 Viewers)

I really look forward to Buffalo Trace getting caught back up with production of Blanton's so I don't have to overpay anymore. That being said, it's still as good as my last pour. I'm just less likely to share it now. Lol
 
I tried Basil Hayden recently and its pretty good. I think it was mentioned on one of the other Whiskey threads in the past.

It has been my go to for 3 years now. In the last 6 mo or so, ive weened off Basil on to Angels Envy and an Elijah Craig Small Batch for weekend sipping. I was hooked on how smooth and palatable Basil is. Its not overbearing- quite subtle overall.

But dang if i dont mention that 3 years ago, a bottle of Basil was $27.99-$31.99. Now, i cant find under $40.


Shoot, im staring at a 1/3 bottle in my office as i type this ;) ( not that i drink on the job or anything- for special post work occassions mmmkaay )

Looks like the Pappy stuff has finally arrived in Florida. I get a 10 and a 15 this year. Hoped for a 23, but oh well.

i still have a full bottle of Basil Hayden Rye

im not a big fan of rye whiskey. Maybe since my only veering off was Basil Hayden rye, but i didnt find it all that tasty, or im simply that spoiled on regular mash whiskey. idk. I may give it a shot.

Pappy or Van Winkle.

The 12 year Van Winkle was exceptional. The 15 Pappy was pretty strong in the glass. Strong hint of "wood" to me. Still well beyond anything i drink on the regular. Both were quite enjoyable and we polished off the 12 year between 4 guys.
Neat.

Enjoy!!!!!

As far as I now they're the same thing.

Pappy is only printed on the older ones. Maybe just 15, 20 and 23.

The 10 and 12 and Rye just have "old rip vw" on it, as I recall.

Of all of them, the 20 I think is the one I like the best, but had it maybe 3 times. I seem to recall the 23 being hot as hell. The 15 is the best as far as I'm concerned so glad I got it and at $120 or so, it's the deal!
 
Yeah it's the ages that distinguish the "name" for bottling.
Enjoy both because it's a definite great bourbon.

PS gotta be something with contractors and bourbon... Yall be gettin all the good stuff lol
