It’s Friday...which means one thing: whiskey or mezcal or bourbon night! Now that I’m back to one pour a week, I so look forward to it. It’s makes you appreciate it much more. During the SDT with my buddies @LeeEvolved
@Telex, @Scott_E and @Generously_Paul, it was more like a few pours / week. Now...kombucha or matcha green tea every night, except Friday. Tonight, I just opened up this beauty. A 4 yr bottled-in-bond bourbon, that’s just under $33??!? Seriously? I check my iPhone...nope it’s not 1990. This is really well made. Notes of caramel popcorn, some minty eucalyptus ( has to have a bit of rye in the mash ), and dark fruits like blackberries. If you’re looking for great less than $35 American whiskey or bourbon, you don’t have many choices. Only ones I can think of are Henry McKenna 10 BiB, Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Single Barrel, and now...this.

@AntonioSchmid once pass 3 digits, it’s all downhill from there
@Scott_E @PBMichiganWolverine I will stop buying when I reach bottle n° 100. The problem is I’m almost there...
@PBMichiganWolverine no doubt. They enter faster then they leave
@Scott_E good call. As I recall, you too have only 1 or 2 pours/week. So, before you know it, you’ll be knee deep in 500 bottles
@PBMichiganWolverine The MAC as you know is done. Grabbed a #2 (another for sampling) as well. While in another store, was also debating the McK. But put it back as I already dropped 2 bills.
@Scott_E McKenna or Macallan edition 1...you chose the right “M” young Padawan
@PBMichiganWolverine I will have to keep an eye out for this. Literally just had the McKenna in my hand debating a purchase and did not (after already spending more than I anticipated today). The newer American whiskies and very intriguing and creative.
