I lucked into a bottle of Weller CYPB last week. I can't wait to give it a try. One of the bottles I wanted to get a hold of , but never thought I actually get one. 

Is that what the kids are wanting nowadays?

I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Weller 107 was something I could get pretty easy in the past when I was living down in West Virginia years ago. I've tended to lean towards wheated bourbons. The CYPB is something that has been difficult to obtain and resily priced for a while. 

You answered my question.  "Difficult to obtain" means everyone, "the kids" are chasing.

You are correct. I guess I was feeling a little surly when I responded to your post. It was a bottle I passed up too often in the past. 

Thank you for calling me out.  I was being a little bit of a dick in my response to your reply.

I picked up a few things over the holidays. I bought a Weller full proof. Was also given a Blantons gold, Weller 12 yr, and Noah Mills. 

I gave away a bottle of little book infinite bottle.

I am opening my Little Book Infinite tonight! Then next up will be Bookers Reserves.  Already had some OGD 16 year and Hardin's Creek Frankfort.  What has gotten into Jim Beam lately!!!

How did you like the OGD 16?

It’s good but not great. I would have probably loved it if they had it at 114 proof instead of 100. I think $130 would have been a fair price. Not a must have IMO.

Need to resurrect this one!

Enjoying Henry McKenna 10 year tonight because it's my best bottle and it's my birthday.

I recently tried the McKenna 10 and I really enjoyed it..

while I was in Nashville for PJ, we took a drive out near Franklin, to the Leiper’s Fork Distillery. We did the tour and tasting, and they make some fantastic stuff. I came back with a bottle of their Tennessee whiskey and a bottle of their rye. I’ll probably order a bottle of their bourbon from them as well at some point. I also brought back a bottle of Uncle Nearest 1884.

Let us know how the rye is.  There are plenty of good bottles out there for not a ton of money.

I really liked the rye that I sampled at the tasting. They don't make it as much as the Tennessee Whiskey or Bourbon because of the effort required to clean afterward, so its a little pricier, but its really good. It was probably my favorite that I tasted. It was $99 at the distillery. I saw them selling it for $149 a bottle in the airport.

For $100 it had better be good, lol.  I only spend that much on select bottles now.

I rarely will spend that much. I splurged because I was on vacation and I knew I wouldn't be able to find these whiskeys in Washington.
