Nice. Picked up a couple myself.

How is the Basil Hayden's Caribbean Reserve Rye?

I almost picked one up last week, but I had already exceeded my budget with 2 ECBPs, an EHT Single Barrel, 2 John J. Bowmans, and an Angel's Envy Rye.

It’s really different and pretty dang good, but super sweet!!! I would totally consider this a dessert rye.

No. Vastly different flavor. It’s not rum barrel finished, it actually has rum in it. I think the AE rye is terrible, but people like it.

Haven’t opened but I never pass on an ECBP at retail.

A couple of scotches to consider when you won’t buy Glenlivet 21 year old..

The glenlivet 12 first fill, master distiller reserve, and 18 year are all fantastic scotch.

I have a bottle of the Lagavulin 16 that I had one pour of and have been trying to find someone that likes it. Far too peaty and tastes like iodine. I love scotch but that bottle made me stay away from anything that has”peated” on the label

I just got this bottle the other day. Has anybody ever been to the distillery? They are having a party there on Saturday. I'm thinking about going.

I liked Balmorhea and Cowboy but haven’t like any of the others so far. Have heard Barrel Proof single barrel store picks are great also

I had my first pour of Blanton’s this weekend - it was really good stuff but I think I actually liked the Eagle Rare a little better?

I would still buy the Blanton’s if I found it in store for a reasonable price

Blanton's SFTB or regular?

ETL is good stuff. So is the EH Taylor Small Batch behind it.

I’m going to assume it was regular, didn’t taste very “hot” - it really was good but the Eagle Rare 10 I had was better IMO

If I have the opportunity to buy either of the Blanton’s I will - there was nothing I disliked about it
