This is a pretty delicious bourbon from Kentucky Owl. This is their Japanese Bourbon. Sweet and smooth with caramel and cinnamon notes. Pleasantly tingly on the palate. Very smooth.

Revisiting this one this evening. I think I prefer the 1920, but this is a close 2nd.Attached FilesComment

barelfly I haven't seen the 1924 but the MSRP is $115.00 and I'm sure that the liquor stores around here will jack the price even higher, so I have no interest, especially when my favorite, 1920, is readily available & more reasonably priced. For that kind of $ I can buy a bottle of KC12 year, WT101, OF100 and have money left over. Full disclaimer: I'm a cheap bastard and proud of it. I'm not afraid to spend, but it's got to be worth it, in my mind anyway..

This is a new bottle to me. I really enjoy Angel’s Envy, so wanted to try this Finished Rye and it is great!

I didn't care for it, at first, because it's really rum-forward and kind of sweet. We've found that we really like it as a dessert pour. I'll replace the bottle when it's gone... -
Skinsfan1311 - yes, perfect for a dessert pour. It is sweet and rum foward, so not something I would have as a daily drinker. This would be great as the night cap to send off and dessert! Ohhh…would be great with my German Chocolate Cheesecake

Last weekend of pheasant hunting season. Have a “usual” crew who get together for watching dogs, camaraderie, and tall tales. Had a fair number of delicious bourbons, but, this remains one of my all-time favorites. Delicious.Attached FilesComment

Enjoying a pour of ol’ EHT - I thought I’d have a sipper of one of Huskee favorite pours since his Lions are playing tonight

So I bought these two bottles of Bourbon this weekend.
I read reviews that the Larceny had a nice smooth sweet taste. I agree. I read reviews that the Knob Creek had a great spiciness to it. I also agree. I enjoyed both pours this weekend.
Today after a shit show at work I decided on having a pour to unwind and relax. I decided that since I enjoy both of these this weekend that I’d mix them together for my pour this evening. And I believe I enjoy it more than both of these bottles by themselves.
It gave me both sweet and spicy in one sip.
Anybody else ever blend two different bourbons together for a drink?

Huskee has an infinity bottle, blended with a number of spirits. I’ve yet to do that, or blend as well. And If you like that combo you created, look/ask for mash bills that are high wheat and rye. You should find a few good bottles that fit that and provide that profile you enjoyed tonight. Heaven Hill makes a number of good bottles that are available you would enjoy. -
Yup! I have an infinity bottle as well. I don't drink it very often,but it's very good. I know quite a few people who blend them on a regular basis. I'm too lazy, but I do put a splash of early release of Stagg Jr into Buffalo Trace, or Eagle Rare 10 year which makes them both much better. I tried it with Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye & WT101 rye. If you ever snag a bottle of Larceny Barrel proof, cut it 50/50 with the standard Larceny & it's really a case of the sum being better than its parts

A few pours tonight…may feel this a bit tomorrow, but eh…it’s fRYEday!!!!!!!!!!
started off with a few Clyde Mayes Old Fashioneds while cooking up The Ultimate Beef Stroganoff. Then gave this bottle of BH Toasted a try and enjoyed it - smooth toasted flavor which surprised me, I didn’t expect much from this BH bottle. And now finishing the night with a dessert pour for fRYEday! Angel’s Envy Finished Rye. It’s good…but shouldn’t mix toasted and finish with this…not the greatest pairing. But still good!

Having a nip of this little bit of deliciousness. It is a blend of straight rye whiskeys from Park City, Utah. I’d highly recommend. Sweet and smooth some some mild cinnamon and just a light tongue tingle that changes to mild Carmel notes after it has a bit of water added.Attached FilesComment

Sazerac Rye and a little smoke for an Old Fashioned

MM BEP - fresh crack - this is oakier than the last bottle of BEP I had, at least more so than I remember, and that’s not a bad thing.

I had a pour of this last night. The cork broke on the original bottle and wouldn't come out. I pushed the cork into the bottle, strained it through a coffee filter, dumped it into this one and made a fancy label for it...Attached FilesComment

fzxdoc Yup! It's the first cork-fail that I've had in years. I have a couple decanters, but they already have whiskey in them and the BBC bottle was headed to the recycle bin. I've had the Calumet 8 year and the 14. The 14 year is a tad pricey. They have a 15 & 16 year, but I've read mixed reviews on them and some of my bourbon geek buds have had all of them and the consensus among them is that the 14 year is the best of the bunch.

I've resisted buying this one because they charge $49.99 for it and it chafed my cheap-ass to fork over that kind of $$ because the 6 year BiB was such a great buy.
