Thought maybe some of you would appreciate my friends Burbon "closet".  He keeps a spread sheet and all the inventory is alphabetized.  You can see the inventory binder at the bottom of the door.   I'm not a Burbon drinker but I think he has some pretty good stuff.

Some good stuff is an understatement lol I don't nearly have as many bottles as that, but I definitely have a spreadsheet because I don't have enough room to keep them in one area lol

Sampling some of the old forester brand which I like. Especially 1910 and statedman

Haven't had the 1910 yet but the 1920 is one of my favorites also the old forester rye. Might be the best value out there.

I really enjoy the 1920, how does the 1910 and the statesman compare to the 1920?

1910 and stateman are very smooth. Coming in at 93 and 95 proof respectively...so smooth and easyier drinking v 1920 which is "hotter" or whatever you want to call it due to much higher 115 proof

Any tryA Midwinter Nights Dram from High West before? I did some horse trading and I'm picking up it a a bottle of Elijah Craig barrel proof C921 on Thursday. I can't wait to crack them open. (Pictures for attention)

I haven't tried MWND yet, but I have one waiting for me that a friend picked up. Looking forward to your review of it!

I'm curious to know how you like C921. I've done side by side comparisons with the 3 different batches I have. The differences to me are nuanced, but over all taste very similar. That's just me and my weak palate though. I definitely plan to always have a bottle of it around though. I passed on the batches this year so that I could spend the money on other bottles instead.
I cracked open the Midwinter Nights Dram tonight. I've heard that it opens up and becomes more flavorful after the bottles been open awhile and I hope that's the case. Saying I was disappointed with it is an understatement. The nose reminded me exactly of my grandpa's old homemade wine (think strong church wine mixed with kool-aid but in a good way)

Palate: Not a whole lot going on. Similar to a fortified wine, nothing to make you think whisky.

Finish: Grandpa's homemade wine again but with more burn.

I've read alot of reviews about the particular batch I have and was very excited but it was a major let down. Hopefully it opens up more as it oxidizes.

Finally opened this tonight. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C921. It's my first bottle of their barrel proof line and I must admit it's some of the best juice I've had in awhile.
