    Having a pour of Clynelish this evening. 

    Storms rolled through earlier, but the evening is shaping up to be quite fine.

    Is it my OCD or is that bottle neck off center?

    Well, I didn't want to comb through 22 pages of this, but I recently picked up a bottle of KnobCreek, which I think is going to be my favorite affordable bourbon now.

    I've never been crazy about rye whisky, although I eat rye bread almost exclusively, but I may give it a try.  I may have just never had a good one, and, taste changes from time to time and it's been awhile.

    Excellent choice. I second the rye suggestion too.

    Knob Creek does some good stuff, their Single Barrel is my fav but the Rye is one of the best examples out there for the price. Better than the Bulliet Rye (sp?) IMHO though that one isn’t bad too, just not as refined or clean as the Knob Creek offering me thinks.

    I got this today.  It's pretty rare around me and my name on the list finally came up. 

    I sometimes see that around here. Would you like me to snag a bottle for you if it pops up again?
    And your right, it is never on the shelf when I go back.

    that Evan Williams was smooth and flavorful. Great price too.

    That Evan Williams is phenomenal
    Cigars were made to be smoked, whiskey was made to be drank and women were made to be loved. The only thing I try to age is myself.

    So jealous you found the Antique 107, I just finished off my last bottle and haven’t seen it in years! Congrats Steve, if you ever find one again I may have to bribe you to pick it up for me, that stuff is candy.
