The guy at the tasting said it’s only available around Houston, but I don’t know that I believe him. If you can find it, I’d suggest getting a bottle as it was only $26. I think its Johnnie’s way of enticing whiskey drinkers that aren’t necessarily scotch drinkers.
I used to be a big fan of JW Blue but not so much anymore. I prefer Burbon over scotch now but would like to try this. Nice find.
I’ve never been that big in to scotch. I’ve had the usual Johnnie Blue and Black and Glen Fiddich when drinking with friends. I’d say I’m more a bourbon fan. But this is a nice in-between. If you can’t find any, let me know and I’ll attempt to FedEx you a bottle to try (they’re kind of weird about shipping alcohol here).
I'll look and let you know.
Oh Man that must have been nice!
Broke open the Limited Release Makers 101. Surprisingly smooth for 101 proof. It’s the normal Maker’s recipe, just bottled at the higher proof. Cheers to a good week!
I really like that one. I won it in a a silent auction at my local liquor store. Just missed out on the bottle of Shenks that went with it.That Bomberger’s tho.
Michter’s has become one of my favorite distilleries. They really make quality whiskey. It’s on the short list for tours when I get up that way.
Eating at The Grotto in downtown Houston today. Finally got to try some Bookers Country Ham. It’s amazing. Definitely can taste a glazed sweetness and a small bit of smoke.
Cocktail hour is over… opened a bottle of Blanton’s for the wife for her birthday.
I cracked open the bottle of Kirkland small batch the other night to make Lisa a hot toddy to help with her covid. I figured I'd give it a try as well. Big bummer when I found out I couldn't taste it. Just could feel the alcohol burn. That is the worse thing about covid, can't taste or smell. Even tried to smell some Vicks, nothing...haha.
