  1. No doubt. Still has the herbal tea finish that I love with most ryes, but the dill is strong. The only rye where I really notice it. It makes sense that it's a love or hate it pour for people.
  2. Man, there is a serious dill nose/palate on Willett 4 year Rye. I can understand if people are turned off by it, but dill is big in Persian rice and it hits the spot for me. (I'm pretty wasted)
  3. I'm pissed I haven't been able to find a JD BP Rye, but this Alberta Cask Strength is one hell of a consolation prize. Drinking it again tonight. This rye fucks. Get it.
  4. Ha, yep. Whistlepig sources from Alberta.
  5. This Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye just dropped in Houston this week. Limit 1 at a Total Wine but you can buy multiples at Spec’s. Opened last night. It’s fucking great. I don’t think a ton of bottles will be released, but right now it’s under the radar and on the shelf. $60. The bottle itself looks cheap and is a screwtop. But if you want an excellent cask strength rye, grab it now while you can. Word will get out soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Nomaaa is asking what type of barrel finish they used on this particular store pick. Should be on the side of the bottle.
  7. Good. So Old Fitz should be an automatic pass at secondary pricing for you based on the reviews I've read.
  8. Maybe. I would pay retail for one, but the juice isn't even supposed to be very good. It's a trophy bottle.
  9. I already have tamales in the fridge. Just head straight over.
  10. Weller 12 dropped all over Spec's locations in Houston today. I have one bottle and like it enough. But JFC the secondary pricing is hilarious. I'm gonna pour the 12 into a full 750ML of Poor Man's Pappy.
  11. Won this week’s Goody Goody raffle. Thank you for allowing me to pay $140
  12. "Platitudes" is definitely a lazy attack, I agree.
  13. Ready for Pete to prove a lot of people wrong.
  14. JD Barrel Proof, OF Barrel Strength, ECBP, Stagg Jr... all of them are fantastic. But only one is easily available at any reputable liquor store.
  15. And yeah, the Knob Creek 12 is very good. Buy that as well.
  16. It very well might be better than McKenna 10. Or Blanton's. Just buy a bottle of John J. Bowman Single Barrel.
  17. I bought and opened the John J. Bowman Single Barrel this week, and fucking loved it. Maybe I said that earlier on this thread, I can't remember. But it's great.
  18. Yes, 10 days without them being around is a gift, no question. Kid got hold of the camera. A regular Peter fucking Parker already.
  19. My wife and her Trumpkin mother are currently not speaking to each other. She and her husband are going out of town for 10 days during Christmas/NYE out of pure spite, and has declared there will be no presents for anyone except our kid. She just dropped off a Christmas gift for our son before going out of town tomorrow. It's a $500 digital camera. He's 3 years old.
  20. LMAO this is incredible spin, but nevertheless I'll take the result.
  21. Pete already getting to work
