Whisk(e)y

First pour of Rare Character SEG-006 8 year rye. I poured off a couple of drams for buddies and put the rest into mini-bottles. One guy wants the empty.

This was a nice bottle.

Minden Mill 4 year rye, distilled in NV. Photo is from last night. This won some awards, so I tried it out.

Fairly well-integrated and good body for a 4 year rye. Cherry, hints of licorice / anise, pineapple. But the dominant flavors are grain, carraway, and grapefruit peel (specifically the bitterness), which makes it feel very young. I'll see how it evolves, but I'm likely to give away half or drainpour it. (The bottle is empty because I poured it off into smaller Boston rounds.)

Just some unreasonably good whiskeys

Headliner 2024
Ol' Bourbon
Silver Grove Rye 2024

A bunch of single malts

23 single malt was the winner. Headliner 24 was a close second. All of these were excellent though.

Prideful Goat 8 year rye, batch 2. As before, poured most off into rounds before pouring into a Glencairn. Letting it rest for 20.

Very Olde St Nick 8 year rye. Canada sourced. And it definitely looks like it (very light).

This is good and straightforward. Worth the price of admission at $42 plus tax.

I thought to myself.... What would be the most ridiculous Whisky to use the smoking rig on?

Landed here....


And it was smokey...

Won a bottle in the raffle at Sugarbelt last night

Faultline bourbon (a local liquor store's brand). IN distillate.



I've never loved MGP bourbons, not feeling this one either. It's not very expressive on the nose (mostly vanilla and cacao), weak flavor (watery vanilla or creme brulee). I've started drainpouring some whiskies, and this is a contender.

 

[NSXr8ted]

Decided not to finish my dram and moved on to Tumblin' Dice 11 year bottled-in-bond bourbon. Offered the Faultline to my local group.

Ironically... Tumblin' Dice is also MGP bourbon, IN distillate. Hoping for a miracle here.
