All things whiskey! Bourbon, Rye, Scotch, Irish, and more. Neat, cocktails, and everything in between.

Whiskey friends: SLB drinks is doing their annual charity raffle.
Tickets are $5 and the prizes are amazing. 300 top-tier bottles including:
• Pappy Van Winkle 20 year
• George T. Stagg
• Full Weller Rainbow set
• Full Barrel

Every dollar goes directly to Riley Children's Hospital.
I stake my reputation on the integrity of this. It's legit.

Not much of an experimental batch, but when the brother-in-law visits, I don’t have much of a choice.
Much smoother than I remember it being

Brown sugar. Honey. Floral vanilla. Purple bag of Skittles. Red berries. Bright nose. Rudolph.
ᴘᴀʟᴀᴛᴇ
More brown sugar. Baking spices. Nutmeg not cinnamon. Burnt sugar - think crème brûlée, not off-putting but a pleasant bittering agent. Great viscosity. No off notes. Letting it sit brings out additional sweetness.
ᴛᴇxᴛᴜʀᴇ
Mouth-coating without being chewy. Syrupy.
ғɪɴɪsʜ
More fall spices and tons of oak. Long finish. That pleasant bitterness. Reminiscent of pecan shell (a fond memory for me).
ᴠᴇʀᴅɪᴄᴛ
8.8/10 off the neck pour.
Likely will open up into a monster.
Stoked for this bottle.
