This is my personal favorite so far. My first bottle I got a distinct fruit flavor. The first pour from my current bottle was more of a toasted marshmellow. Both are delicious. And typically a great value as well.

Either another Boulvardier or the first G&T of the season...

Did you notice whether those bottles are from different recipes? You can get Four Roses SB in any of the 10 recipes 2 mash bills; 5 yeasts) they use to blend their different expressions. The stuff you buy on the shelf pretty much always is #1 ("OBSV"), but bars, restaurants, festivals, and even some retail outlets might have another.

Yeah, I'd love to get a bottle of each recipe. I'll double check my current bottle tonight. Seeing as it was on special for $40, I believe it is the standard OBSV. I purchased online for curbside pickup, so didn't really look that closely.

What're your thoughts on this one? I recall being fairly impressed when I first tried it. It's been a while, however.

It’s a very nice and mellow sipper. I’m not a fan of big Diageo but this outfit of them produces quality stuff.

Some Tawny Port paired with some gorgonzola, oatcakes and chutney. The glass is known as a Jacobite glass (a present from my mother in law to, I think, try and wind me up) but it makes an ok port glass.

Had it tonight with a big chunk of ice...
It feel apart a bit. I guess a higher proof would help, still neat it’s very enjoyable.

 

[FL shaver]

Prettier and less vanilla with white or silver rum compared to Zaya 16 (Just realizing that I grabbed the 16 and not the 12!), but digging a warm weather cocktail in SW FL!

 

[Disreali]

Friends Whiskey, a single malt from a local distillery. Very strong feeling. Definitely needs to be cut with water.

I’m a big fan of their rye in cocktails

 

[ByMyBeard]

Received this one for an annual event celebration yesterday. Of course, I had to open it up to sample.

Never had their rye and I’m pretty much set on Rittenhouse for cocktails anyway
But I would love to try their BiB alas it’s unavailable in Europe.
