    Swung by my honey hole on Friday to check out their inventory and drop them a sample of RC6. Figured they had a few bottles on their shelf but hadn’t tried it.

    They were super appreciative of the gesture and gave me a sample in return.

    Also grabbed a bottle of this for $150. If you have a boss that drinks tequila and can find this for less than $150, it’s a great bottle.

    I haven’t had the Dickel BIB because I refuse to buy it, I have yet to have a Dickel bottle or Dickel sourced bottle I actually enjoyed.

    I get a lot of the banana from 1920, but I enjoyed it immensely. 1910 is also quite good, but I'm thinking I prefer 1920.

    I am going to have to try it again now because I preferred the 1910 last time I did a side by side.

    Just poured my first glass of Little Book 2 since I killed my last bottle. It's been a few weeks, but still one of my favorite sippers.

    I bought it because of the praise and can say it’s an unmitigated disaster. Not even sure I want to use it for cocktails, such is my disdain for the whiskey.

    I’ve seen some bottles of Yippee ki-yay around. I think campfire and rye. are these worth a try? Think they were around $35-45.

    Campfire is like an Islay scotch to me, but I like that. It is blended with a malt scotch not from Islay but it is definitely in that profile.

    Go get a bottle of Larceny or Maker’s Mark 46.

    Plenty of great, accessible “smooth” bourbon around.

    Yeah, was more of a joke than anything. The people that could really use that chart won't be able to buy most of that stuff. Like 7 iterations of Pappy on that chart seems like overkill but maybe I'm just nuts.

    Nah, it’s helpful for that very reason.

    Guy: I have to get some of that Pappy 12.
    Pinterest: Alright cool, what’s a bottle you really like?
    Guy: I like Basil Hayden and Woodford.
    Pinterest: Here, try this OGD114.
    Guy: Wow that’s delicious and completely accessible to 99% of the population!

    TIL Longbranch is the result of a partnership with Matthew McConaughey and Eddie Russel. WT aged the bourbon in mesquite wood, which is native to Texas.

    It’s not really in PA, either, but all over NJ, Delaware, and Maryland so a little effort and it’s gettable. I’m sure others in this thread would be happy to hook you up if you really can’t find it.

    Looking for some MWND if anyone sees any, let me know.

    Picked up the OF 1910 and 1920 yesterday after all the talk in here and can say I was really pleased with both. And while the 1910 is great, the 1920 was definitely a class above.

    Your billing address must be PA per their rules. Would love for folks to enter and help me but unless you have a way to have your credit card billing address here, they'll throw out the entry.
