If your crystal decanter is lead crystal, it's not recommended for long term storage of liquids.... having lead, and all.

On some Blanton's last night and tonight. Good stuff
Definitely enjoying this one. The rye and apricot are strong but not at all overpowering. Very nice, so nice I’ll enjoy this one neat moving forward.

Those FR barrel strength are some of the best bottles out there. A personal favorite of mine, especially the OBSV. Good score.

My first rye purchase. Historically, I have been mostly into single malts, but I’m really enjoying the rye whiskeys.
So far I’ve purchased this knob creek and the high west double rye. Both are quite different from each other but very enjoyable! Cheers!

I’m not sure why I never joined this thread.
(this first post is a long one but read on because there’s a tasting event on Monday 8/7 I’m inviting you to)
After 20 hours driving Longcruiser with @nakman I just caught up on 13 pages.
Yes. I love Laws. My local liquor store here and Sloans Lake had a nice barrel selection of years ago that I splurged on and I’ve been a fan ever since.
After selling the brand, he created a new brand called Proof and Wood. And bought an orange Porsche. Used but still….
Dave was also the ultimate inspiration for me buying LongCruiser. That’s one I’ll tell in person.
Since he made me do something so fantastically, wonderful, reckless, stupid and fun, only natural that he is the official sponsor of LongCruiser. In other words, for me being an idiot and a couple of stickers he keeps my bar stocked.
Fresh stock arrived today.
Look them up. These are all award-winning spirits.
And now, an amazing opportunity happening this Monday night at 7 PM.

Dave can get a few people in. Not sure how many. If you’re interested and available either post up here or PM or text me. I’ll keep track of who’s interested and reach out to Dave Sunday night to see how many we got and how many we want to get in.
My current plan is to drive longcruiser downtown around six and work real hard to get parking close to, or even in front of the bar on Larimer Street. You’d be welcome to to meet me at my house and Sloans Lake for the drive down and it’s under $10 to Uber back if you need to leave downtown before I did. Or meet at the bar.
If you read this far than one more comment. In January, I was hanging out with Dave and got to meet Jared wrap up in Vail. Jared is one of the owners of Traverse City Whiskey. Quite tasty. Having some now.

Try the redemption rye 7 year. one of the best I've ever had. and well, i've had a lot. (it's around 75.00)

My sponsor is my high school buddy Dave Schmier. Dave created Redemption Rye. I’m so glad to see fans of redemption here. One day the original three bottle pack showed up at my house and I knew Dave had a home run. There’s lots a great spirits that either don’t get marketing well or are in an over saturated segment like vodkas. Dave was early on the rye train. Some would say he was one of the starters. That name redemption rye was just so easy it rolled off the tongue as good as the rye.

I do Whiskey and History tours, so to be able to combine this with my new passion is incredible! I'll be sure to bring a bottle if I can ever make a trail run.
For the record alcohol and trail runs are not combined. Now post trail run in camp is another story.

I was sure that was implied based on the original post. I never drink and drive.
That was not targeted directly towards you but more a public service message as this is a public forum.
Been saving this one for a while. I turn 50 tomorrow so I cracked it open. It’s very nice.

So........should we set-up a corner bourbon tasting table at this years Christmas party? I have a bottle I'll donate. Cheers.
New bottle today, gift from a client.
One of the easiest drinking bourbons I’ve ever had. Zero bite. Heavy caramel - sweetness. Pretty light body

OK, this is a little off subject. There are tons of bourbon food products out there most of them suck. I’m really enjoying this one so I’m going to post. Bissell’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup.
