Woodford Rye for tonight

 

[jmanic]

Nothing new, but what I’m enjoying now.

As I’ve noted in earlier posts, this is the one that started my journey from singlemalts to bourbon, in a Nashville restaurant/bar.
Sadly I’ve seen it tick up a bit in price over the past year, but it’s still in the “worth it” price range.
(I’ll share my new again fave pandemic bourbon next post)

I also need to try Michter’s rye.
As much as folks enjoy the bourbon, the raves for the rye are there. Not my favorite brown liquor, but I owe it to them to give it a try.

What’s in the cask?

What’s in the cask?

Double Cask with Vanilla and dry fruit aromas... Matured exclusively in the perfect balance of hand picked sherry seasoned American and European Oak Casks 🧐

Cool, but I meant your personal cask there- did you start with some white dog?

Ohhh that cask...lol. It's been empty since my wife got it 2 years ago 😳. Maybe I'll fill it with some Old No.7. Never had white dog lol

It’d be fun to try it with some new make.
Just read up on soaking the barrel before you try it.
Getting to not leak seems the tricky part of it.

I prefer my fireball from a glass bottle but I'd still smash it 🤣

That's...strange. I can't imagine there isn't a local store doing delivery that'll be way quicker and cheaper?

There's no cheaper store in Metuchen. JC in Woodbridge is the cheap local.

Ah. No man's land...no Bottle King/Gary's/Total Wine in that area. No Buy Rite's either?

Ain't no use to sit and wonder why Babe.

Hear the ads on the Stern show, figured I'd give it a try. Decent price at $49.99 for a very good brown liquid. \^^/
