Can't go wrong with 1910. I always keep a bottle of 1910 and 1920 on the bar. I wanted to grab a bottle of 1924, but never ran into one. I did get a few more OF Single Barrel Barrel Strengths, another OF Single Barrel Barrel Strength Rye, and my first OF Single Barrel 100 proofer. I'm a fan of...

Got probably my bottle of the year (granted I've bought probably half the amount I bought last year) last week. Sagamore 9 year. Absolute banger of a rye whiskey. I absolutely loved the 8 year last year when they released it las year (was probably a top 5 pour for me last year) and this is...

SLB Drinks? I enjoy them. Bourbon Junkies, ADHD Whiskey, and Drums and Drams are probably the ones that I watch the most. I used to watch Brewzle, but he got a little annoying.

To be fair, a lot of folks feel that way about him (Minnick that is). I could go either way on him. He doesn't bother me, but isn't one of my favorites either. I do think he has a wealth of whiskey knowledge and makes for a good listen here and there. His top 100 is pretty wild just bc he sips...

With all due respect to Justin and Josh, I think the answer may be Joe. Justin and Josh did a lot for us and won some big games, but I'm seeing love for HK from people coming out of the woodwork like I can't remember since Joe. I'm not sure if it's because of where we were before Haynes or...

That's hilarious. He was #6 overall and the #3 WR on the list yesterday. Guess that supposed $2M and the SEC hype changed things.

That sounds about right. Even my friends who like lower tier SEC teams have this line of thinking too.

I think this is the way we're all feeling. I'd probably switch the order to fast and then drops though. That being said, I definitely like Singleton and what he brings a lot (and obviously wish he'd stay), but if that kind of money is out there it's hard to be mad about him going for it.

If true, this is wild AF:

I tend to like lower barley. I have a Boulder Spirits Cask Strength group pick (ADHD Whiskey and Justin's House of Bourbon if you're familiar) that gets rave reviews. It's a single barrel of the bourbon that got top 10 on Fred Minnick's list two years ago and top 25ish last year. It's...

Interesting. That is a pretty unique mashbill. The closest to that (of the big boys) is Beam and Wild Turkey use a 75c/13r/12b on a bunch of their stuff and I typically like a lot of those (Bookers, Beam Single Barrel, Knob Creek Single Barrels, Rare Breed, etc).

Does the bottle say anything about the mashbill?

Love trying a good new bottle! Have heard good things about Leiper's Fork. Lost Lantern (group that releases single barrel picks from craft distillers across the country) did a LF bottle this year and it got really good reviews...

At MSRP? That's awesome! I got lucked into my first 4 at MSRP and then traded for the Batch 14. New Riff is solid. I especially like their Balboa Rye and the Silver Grove stuff. I could be down. What batches did you snag?

See above, but alas, here's 2 more examples of 6+ year old OZ barrels from Shortbarrel. These came out last December as a special pick for the Georgia Bourbon Community group. I have the 6.6 year one and can confirm it is delish. There are 100% 7+ year old OZ barrels out there at this point.

Shortbarrel is releasing some new stuff tomorrow for cyber monday for anybody interested: https://shortbarrelbourbon.com/shop-shortbarrel/ Also Seelbach's has their b3g3 deal going on...

OZ is now (back to) Green River. https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2020/09/oz-tyler-changes-name-to-green-river-distilling-co/ For starters here's a Green River that's 6...

Nice! Actually I'm getting ready to do a couple of days in the Chicago area in a few weeks for work. What part of Atlanta are you gonna be in? I can give you the scoop on some good shops to hit up. These are single barrel store picks from Corks & Caps over in Buckhead (Sandy Springs address...

Picked these guys up from Corks & Caps earlier. Highly recommend to anybody in the Atlanta area. The rye is out of this world and the bourbon isn't far behind. Shortbarrel is killing it.

I like ASW, but yeah I don't buy it much anymore. The GA Heartwood single barrels are pretty good usually and some of their special releases have been great. If you want to support another local brand, I highly suggest Shortbarrel. They're putting out some really really good stuff.
