I absolutely agree wit you, Andrew, and at 117 proof it's right in my wheelhouse.
Opened "Beaten Biscuits" batch last night. Started neat, then a couple drops of water to open it up. It's definitely my least favorite of the 2019 batches. That being said, it's still better than 80% of the other bourbons on my bar.

Another great affordable bourbon that just got to my state is Old grand dad 114. did a blind taste of 4 bourbons with 50+ people and it tied with OE7 for 1st.
Have you picked up a bookers 2020-01 grannys batch? talk about peanuts!

It's gonna go a LOT higher, Ben. Crap, I'd buy it all for 9K, sell the 15, 20 and 23 for 9K and get the rest for free.

Really? PVW 12? I'm thinking a Old Grandad 114.

Washed down a disappointing pour of Buffalo Trace with a pour each of two favorite ryes.

Two pours of each last night. And I didn't even stumble up the stairs at bedtime.

Picked up a bottle of Rittenhouse Rye on Saturday to make Boulevardiers. Half a bottle later I think I got the recipe down

Rittenhouse any good on its own, Ben?
Yesterday, some KC Cask Strength, followed by some High West Double Rye.

I had some Knob CS last night in the pool while digesting some delicious ribs! Great minds think alike!

I had a little pour and liked it, but at that point I was a few deep, I'll need to revisit. In general I'm not a huge rye guy but I'm open to keep trying

Definitely have a couple ryes you might like, Ben, when you coming to the Midwest?

I'm confident you do

Just put that bottle of Booker's Rye away for another year or two, I'll put the midwest on my list of places to travel to after I make up all the other trips I've missed recently

I promise there will be a larger selection of Booker's than any other one bourbon, Ben. I'm sitting on 8 different open ones, and backups of a couple favorites.
:-)
I've got cigars and other vices too!
