What is New to You...... SPEAKEASY EDITION

[Fenster]

I've heard great things about Overholt BIB. It's not in Utah sadly

I have never had it, I will let you know.

How are those EC's ? Those looked delicious.

The 18 year I had as a pour at a bar and fell in love. It's really good. Not sure when I'll open my bottle. Feels special occasion.

The barrel proof is their first release of the year. They release 3 a year. An A batch, B, and C. I'll probably Crack this A batch tonight and try it. Last year the C was my favorite. If you ever see the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof you should feel comfortable paying up to 85. Retail is about 65 to 70

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately I don't ever see those EC offerings at my local store, but I will run across them at some point.

French eh? That's a pinky in the air!

 

[Fenster]

Absolutely. You can't see it in the photo because the bottle is hiding it, but my pinky shot out instantly as soon as I picked the bottle up.

And if you read the fine print it's not just French Oak, it's 10 virgin French Oak staves. Fancy!

10 virgin French

Single barrel Highland Park. And I found out the concierge guy at Total Wine recognizes my name at this point and gave me his card.

Dipping my toe into Irish Whiskey next with a purchase of a bottle of Tullamore DEW and also picked up a single of an Oatmeal Stout to try from Stockyard brewers.

Tullamore Dew has a very nice one (with an turquoise label) - that is finished in rum casks after it is aged - I like that one very much.

I started baseline with the green label original. I like sherry finishes so I’m hopeful for a decent sipper!

I’m an Irish whiskey fan - I think you’ll like the original as well - good stuff!

ya but it is cut off at the knuckle due to a "still accident"

"oh non, j'ai coupé mon petit doigt en distillant cette gnôle"

"Oh mon Dieu!" Zed
