Until Blanton's comes back, may I suggest...

And now I've got the Hozier song stuck in my head

"I'll take my whisky neat"
 
I loved my Whistle Pig but decided since I’m awful at moderating, I should stop starting, so I quit almost a year ago. No advice from anyone, no physical addiction, no victory over an invisible enemy. I figured it was time. Best thing I’ve done in a long time.

...I really, really, really like Michener's https://michters.com/ I've tried a bunch of theirs and they run around $50 a bottle (and that's in WA with an insanely high tax, so probably $35 down in CA/NV. Really good stuff and it's always on the shelf.

Thanks for the tip. Michter's doesn't say how long the bourbon is aged. If you have a bottle around, does it say?
 
Anybody tried Redwood Empire Pipe Dream? Not my favorite. A little light in the mouth, but nice finish. Not a bad mixing bourbon for Manhattan's and such as it's fairly reasonably priced.

Dickel's for sippin'.
 
some of my favorite boozes are makers, monkey shoulder and a new one for me, four roses single barrel. well wouldncha know it, all three were on sale last night so my bar is stocked for a coupl'a days.
 
I've never been much of a bourbon guy, Scotch is more my thing, but tonight I'm sipping a glass of "Bear Fight", an American single malt whisky from North Carolina. Quite good, in fact remarkably good considering its reasonable price.

wait, I don't get it, they don't really say what the difference is between each one. I 'think' I got the OBSV but who knows....

Look at the label on the neck. If it says OBSV, you’ve got OBSV.

If you don’t have a recipe label, well…..it’s not part of the release.

AI to the rescue....

OBSV may refer to a bourbon recipe from Four Roses, an international public speaking agency, or a function in MathWorks.

Four Roses OBSV
  • OBSV is a bourbon recipe from Four Roses Distillery that uses a high-rye mashbill and the V yeast strain.

  • The B mashbill is a mix of 60% corn, 35% rye, and 5% malted barley.

    • The V yeast strain adds delicate fruit flavors like apricot, pear, and plum.
    • As the bourbon ages, it develops flavors of caramel, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    • OBSV is a limited single barrel bourbon

All that’s on the recipe page. I did not know they were releasing OBSV (recipe 1) with a blank label. My distributor said he’s only getting three of the four single barrel recipes this year. I’ve got two and hoping I’ll come across the others.

which one do u need?
 
I don't get into the whole small batch, limited release thing. If I find something I really like, I want to know I can buy it again next week, and next year. The manufacturer of one of my very favorite pipe tobaccos was just bought up by a Danish company, which proceeded to unceremoniously pull the plug - and just like that, it's gone. That really ticks me off. The last thing I want is to have a bottle of whatever that turns out to be incredibly good, and I know I'll never be able to get it again.

I hear you. Weller’s used to be my go to, when it was $19/handle.

Then it (and a lot of other BT stuff) got derailed by BT and I rarely buy a Buffalo Trace product now. Single barrels then got popular and everyone went to producing ‘experimental’ single barrels. I passed on most. Maker’s 46 Cask Strength was the exception because it is what Weller’s used to be which is a great bourbon for its price.

Last summer, we were in Scotland and went into the SMWS’s Kaleidoscope Bar and I learned what could really be a value whisky when white labelled.

I’m not a SMWSA member and may only buy a bottle or two a year, but that’s really great stuff and probably the best value in whisky around, even if it may be expensive on occasion.

I checked the two different bottles we happened to have in the cabinet and didn't see an obvious age on either of them. I can attest they're great though.
 
Comes back? I didn't know it left. What happened?

I've been picking these up as gifts for friends when I'm on a layover in Tokyo. Decided to get one for myself this go 'round.
