Check out this rocks glass I got for Father’s Day!
Father's day pour.
Lately I've been partial to New Holland Artisan Distillery Beer Barrel Rye.
Got these as a Father's Day gift from my kids. They totally surprised me with these. They are Ashcroft Aztec Scotch Whisky glasses.
My son got me two diamond glass whiskey glasses for Father's Day. Can't wait to try them out.
Haven't seen the single barrel tx bourbon out before.
I got a TX barrel select at Total Wine in Plano, TX last Fall

cracked open a Widow Jane lucky 13 and a Balcones Texas Rye last night. Both were good but the Balcones was quite the flavor bomb. Super smooth, i was able to drink it neat which is rare for me. Big caramel bomb on the front pallette moving to big coffee bomb mid way and a strong smoke finish on the way down.
Was getting real low on AA Juice, so made a run to the local fermentation parlor. Came home with these three beauties.

Yeah boyeeeee!
Did you like this? Side note, Balcones is out of the Texas Bock. Hate that I only have 1/2 bottle left now.

Yeah, it's probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite thing balcones makes. I think I'm up around 15 different bottles right now. Texas bock might be #15.

Yeah boyeeeee!
So send me the Texas Bock and then you'll be down to 14....problem solved

It'll make a great distracter when people come over and want to try something.

Mr Balcones for the win!!!
Opened the Tomatin 18 last night. I've never been a big fan of what they call "sherry bombs" in single malt scotches. But I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of this 18 year old. Very smooth taste to it.

Look what I found in a store today:
Drinking some Walking Stick bourbon neat. Very nice. Supposedly uses a Buffalo Trace mash.
Interesting. I had to google it because I'd never seen or heard of it. I think it is more likely to be produced at the Barton 1792 distillery in Bardstown right now. It is definitely a Sazerac product but I've never heard of anything from the Buffalo Trace distillery being sourced out for other labels so I was curious. Stuff coming out of Buffalo Trace since the bourbon boom has been in great demand.
Their label permits list all of the Sazerac owned distilleries but the "principal place of business" is listed as DSP-KY-113 for one permit in 2014 (Buffalo Trace) and DSP-KY-12 (Barton 1792) for another in 2017.
Picked up a few daily drivers.
