Doing my part for International Tequila Day.
I knew this and did nothing about it.
I am a failure.
Had friends over this past weekend, and they were kind enough to bring host gifts.
Of course you can’t go wrong with 4R,
but especially excite to try the Nikka.
They wouldn’t let me open it for them while they were over, so I did my best with some Michters and 4R single barrel select.

Having some taste of the now rare chocolate Malted rye Woodford masters collection with no ice. I needed to get the true taste out of it

Having some good old fine Kentucky whisky for tonight 🥃 probably the best Bourbon I ever had
So this has been on my radar for a bit, found it on sale for $50 (usually $60-65), so that was the kicker.
Initial impression: I see why lots of folks like this. It’s often described as a stout of a bourbon, with lots of richness/chocolate in the malt. At 115 proof, it’s familiar territory with my KC9/120, but this drinks a tad bit hotter somehow.
I’ll give it a fair chance, and spend some time with it (I’ve read it benefits from being given time in the glass to open up), and try some with water, but it’s going to have rally strong to dethrone the KC for me.

No reason to settle for 2nd place. Go back to KC and I'll take the OF off your hands, NP.

Got my hands on The Macallan 12, rich in flavors! 
A couple of new ones I’ve tried recently
Coffey here refers to the type of still that is used- it’s more efficient than a pot still.
That said, I’ll be damned if I don’t taste coffee notes. Looking forward to getting to know this one.
Based on reviews, had to try this. 13y, BIB, so 100*. It hasn’t completely won me over yet, nor totally offended me.
Ill see where I land, but for $5 more, right now I’ll stick with my KC9/120.

Nice pours my friend..
Had a good day hunting the other day-
Wanted to grab the Michter’s for a guys night I’m having in a couple weeks.
it deserves something good.
Grabbed the Eagle Rare because I haven’t seen one in a while.
The pandemic has definitely shifted the market- special but not totally allocated bottles I would see regularly are not showing up on the shelves.
Likely a combo of production and demand issues.
