ECBP, EHTBP, some great Willett 10-years, SAOS picks, stuff like that, 4R always a solid choice. Plenty of good bourbon as an alternative to $750 pappy :).

I was fortunate enough to obtain a spare bottle of EH Taylor Cured Oak (which is pretty nice), which I traded for 2 EU 700 ml bottles of an all-time favorite, the magnificent Four Roses 125. Oh my, I can just nose that whisky and get all kinds of excited ... But then I take a sip and it gets even better! Love your blog and appreciate your intelligence and passion.

One's a notable Four Roses CS store pick and the other is dusty ER10 from 2006, which tastes nothing like the current stuff. There's not much to offer in current shelf bourbon. It's sad and won't get better any time soon, Pappy included.

Often people take us to the local bar and ask us to recommend something. There's nothing wrong with a little Blanton's or Knob Creek, but you wouldn't take a wine buff to Friday's and ask them to pick out a bottle :). Thanks for checking in!! The Michter's 10 is awesome, it's actually been pretty hard to come by in NYC this summer. What's everyone else drinking??SmokyBeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037600157562644580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003812814565985230.post-29035124015519823902015-07-14T12:33:53.444-04:002015-07-14T12:33:53.444-04:00Summer is rocking and rolling up here in the Pacif...Summer is rocking and rolling up here in the Pacific Northwest! Just went to the Washington Distillers Festival a couple of nights ago and found out... I'm spoiled, from having a nice little collection of quality bourbon in the basement. I didn't find anything at the Festival that I really liked but am very impressed with the burgeoning distilling culture taking hold up here. <br /><br />My favorite open bottle at the moment is a 2014 Michter's 10 year Bourbon. <br /><br />Cheers Smoky Beast!!
