      I love that’s it’s an impromptu thing too, not like the normal mentions in the vault before a review. I had to bust their balls a little bit, but I let Daniel know I thought it was pretty funny.

    Henry McKenna is my go-to whiskey and has been for a long time (altho I do like some George Dickel too). When I want to treat myself, I reach for Elijah Craig Small Batch, 4 Roses Single Barrel, or Angels Envy. I love it when you review a bottle for the "every man."

    I got a potent fruit punch note on a single barrel pick of Buffalo Trace. It was the first BT I'd ever really had, and I was surprised to learn that's not normal for the standard BT. I think you'll know what I mean, but it smelled and tasted like purple fruit punch. So good.

    Hey Guys, long story short, I’m a registered nurse, and since covid broke out, I’m working 65-78 hours a week. To get through it, I treat myself to a liquor store shopping spree each paycheck, and I’m quickly building up my own whiskey vault at home. I live in Utah, and the state run liquor stores don’t have a great selection to choose from, but lately they’ve been bringing in some higher dollar whiskies. My wife and I are expecting our second child, so I’m trying to keep it to one higher dollar bottle per paycheck. I need some help choosing from the current selection: Glenfarclas 25, Highland Park 18, Oban 18 and 21, Talisker 18 and 25, and Glen Elgin 18.
    If you had to pick one or two, which one would you add to your collection and why?

    My sense of taste can't typically distinguish between different brands or years of bourbon, whiskey, scotch, etc. The only thing I can differentiate is alcohol content. A 45% pappy tastes the same to me as a 45% plastic bottle of bourbon whiskey. However, I just bought a $20 1.75L bottle of this particular Henry McKenna and it's way better than the $13 1.75L plastic bottle of some cheap bourbon whiskey I bought for mixing with dr. pepper.
