          It’s been some time since I enjoyed this edition of Orphan Barrel.

            That’s a bit of a unicorn bottle!

          Had a pour of this last night...

            ETA: I just googled Booker's bourbon and it is pretty pricey indeed. So was it worth it?

            fzxdoc Absolutely. It was my go-to barrel strength whiskey back in the day, when it could be had for $55.00..then Beam got stupid & started raising the price. I quit buying when the cost went North of $70.00. This was the first one that I've bought in maybe 10 or more years. I paid $99.00 at a PA state-controlled store last November & don't regret it at all. I don't drink 120+ proof whiskey as much as I used to, so this one will last for years. I was also gifted a bottle at a Super Bowl party.

          I saw this bourbon on an online article rating whiskeys and bourbons. They called it the " Poor man's Pappy VanWinkle". I'm a poor man so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm expecting around $40 or $50 a bottle. My first clue should have been when the price was $28.99. This ain't no Pappy's. With a couple of cubes, Click image for larger version

            I’ve heard the Barrell proof bottle of this is pretty good. I’ve not tried either though.

            It's nothing like PVW. I bought a bottle once...tried it a couple of times...and gave it away to our son, who is the delighted recipient of bottles that I don't care for.

              Your view looks so nice and relaxing. Great place to enjoy that drink, only thing missing is the cigar

              I was gifted a bottle of that and it's a great one!

            Decided to try a nice cheap bottle tonight.

            Here in Ohio this is a $18.99 bottle.

            I’ve read it has the same mash bill as Blanton’s and Elmer T. Lee. It’s just bourbon that for some reason didn’t make the cut for those two high end bourbons. I’ve not had Blanton’s or Elmer T. Lee yet so I can’t compare it to those.

            On first smell I got caramel corn and I also got caramel corn on first taste along with a bit of vanilla. It does have a bit of harshness to it. But for $20 it can actually be sipped in a glass.

            On my second pour of it tonight I added a few ice cubes and it tamed down the harshness quite a bit.

            This will probably be something I use in some recipes I have that use bourbon. I find if the bourbon is nice and smooth to drink it sometime disappears when I use it to cook with.

              That’s a bottle that is hard to pick up. I’ve never tried it - never even seen it available here in NM.

              And my buddy is in Ohio this weekend. Sent me some photos from High Bank Distillery in Columbus. Said he really enjoyed the offerings!

              I keep a plastic 1.75l bottle for recipes.

            Scotch season is winding down, (at least for me)

              +1 Winding down for me too but a Rusty Nail helps to extend the season until Masters Week when Gin and Tonic season kicks off.

              Purc Good call! The Rusty Nail is the perfect cocktail for the shoulder season.

              Purc we are on the same page. Drink my ambers during the cooler months but its Gin and Tonic in the summer

            I’m really enjoying this pour this evening. I’m sure you already know I’m a fanboy of anything from this distillery.

            It’s cinnamon caramel apple on the nose. The taste has all three of the above plus a nice balance of oak.

            I still need to go visit this distillery someday.
