There’s a reason they pour it in barrels and stick it in warehouses for years.

To get mythical beings drunk on the fumes?

I only use moonshine for making liqueurs and tinctures

Balcones Brimstone - a roasted blue corn whiskey that's smoked after distillation. Smells and tastes like a mouthful of barbecue ribs washed down with a swig of sugared bourbon. Remarkable, but definitely a once-in-a-while dram.

I tried that stuff when I went on a tour of Buffalo Trace. It reminded me of drinking shots of Everclear on a date in high school.

Okey, I'm now a proper frenchman. I've placed an order for a primeur wine.
What's this, you say ? It's a wine you purchase the year it's harvested and it's delivered 3 to 4 years after. Only the finest one from the Bordeaux region can be bought like this. It's only a 6 bottle wood crate of a Haut Médoc castle, because I cannot afford the biggest names, but with this purchase and the thermometer/hygrometer I bought for the wine cellar, I feel I took it a step further.

Now THAT'S a pre-order!
Tonight I'm sipping Highland Park 12 year - Viking Honour. No pictures. But it's nice.

I've read a bit about the new Old Forester 100 proof Rye but couldn't find it in my area. Luckily my local jug shop (conveniently called Jug Shop) was able to order me a bottle. It's pretty nice, a bit hot at first but I think it would make a fine Manhattan.

I didn't know they did a rye. 100 proof too, that's nice. Any age statement provided?

No age statement, but it definitely mellowed out after some of the cube melted. This is a very nice sub $25 rye, will out it into the rotation with Rittenhouse BIB.

Listening to Lou's Donaldson "Mr. Shing-A-Ling" and drinking a riff on a Negroni (2oz St. George Terroir gin, 1oz Campari, 1/2 sweet vermouth, splash soda)
Hey, it's 5pm somewhere...

Not really a whiskey drink, but campari, mezcal and club soda on the rocks in my new Heart wine glass

At the price point (~$60 - $70) I'd choose Rendesvous Rye by High West over this one 9 times out of ten. Ain't bad tho...
