I used to always buy the Old Grandad bottled in bond for bourbon cocktails. My local didn’t have any so I bought this, which I’d never seen before. After a few delicious Paper Planes I tried it on the rocks. It’s fantastic! It’s a really pretty nice sipper. In the $30 range I’m thrilled. I’m so tired of spending $80 for a nice bourbon - it’s such a RACKET! Anyway I’m happy as a clam…of course 57% alcohol probably helps. 😆

Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner with a full insert griddle added. A 22" Kettle with vortex, SnS and a Smokey Joe. The most recent addition is a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, 2 ThermoPops and a Thermapen MK4. A Thermoworks RFX Gateway 2 probe meat thermometer.
Oh, allergic reactions are no fun. I have SEVERE reactions if drinking a Budweiser. Given that I can drink other beers with ZERO negative reactions…I’m leaning towards beechwood as the culprit. It seems to be the only outlier.
So I avoid it like the plague. Not even a full juice glass can wreck me for three days. A full pint would probably require medical attention.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Has anyone heard of this one? Shanky's Whip. Silly name, awesome flavor!
The best way I can describe this delicious libation is: you know how awesome a bottle of vanilla extract smells, but it definitely doesn't taste the way it smells? Well, this tastes like that. It's very yummy.
Distilled from whey (yep, the runny byproduct of cheesemaking) with 'some' Irish whisky & caramel color, this is a vanilla bomb. It reminds me of a really good gentle black rum. At only 66 proof it is easy to sip and something that can really sneak up on ya!
