Bourbon. And more bourbon. A small sampling. View attachment 139542
It’s a sipping bourbon. It’s warm 120 proof. Bakers is better as far as a true drinking bourbon. It’s the 96 or so proof and sweeter.How do you like the Bookers? I brought that out after my brother arrowed his first elk a few yrs back. He loved it
that commercial Michael Buble did with Bubly was kinda funny. Think about it every time I see those drinks now.
With barrel proof whiskey, there’s some variance on the proof of any given barrel/bottle. I currently have one Bookers that’s 130.8 (almost gone ) and another full one that’s 127.2. The highest Bookers I’ve had is 132. It’s the best sipping whiskey I’ve had, especially on cold days. It warms the soul without the courseness or throat burning like many high octane liquors. It’s too good to cut it with anything. Just pour it in a brandy sniffer and enjoy!It’s a sipping bourbon. It’s warm 120 proof. Bakers is better as far as a true drinking bourbon.

Lord Calvert now that will make you grab a 338 and fire a few rounds into the fire place. Well I guess only if in alaska and drinking with old friendsLord Calvert (or whatever whiskey) with water.
Pretty cool provenance factor...
Jefferson's Ocean Aged At Sea Bourbon is matured in American oak casks for approximately seven to eight years on land, before the casks are placed on a ship and allowed to rest for another five to ten months at sea.
That can be arranged! I currently have 2 75ml and 2 1.5l (mostly full) bottles. Willet is such a smooth drinker that it’s one I typically drink neat vs mixed with anything. So it tends to last longer. Happy to polish one off over the holiday weekend though if someone wants an empty bottle.@Wildabeast you sell the empty bottle to stoners afterwards? Decent plan to recoup costs imo.
I have been mixing up a lot of rum blender drinks for the family. My poison is a pint glass with ice, a double shot of Stoli, squeeze half an orange, fill with soda water and shake.
It’s been a hell of a month..Just a couple Hopzones..
