    Can’t argue with that.

    Although... I was on an Air Force base a few months ago for a catered formal dinner. The whiskey choices at the bar were Jack, Jim, and Jameson’s. I bought the Jameson’s.

    Mild, like a Romeo and Julieta, but different. "Creamier", maybe. More vanilla. Great aroma.

    Their full size line is similarly good.
    If you like a stronger flavor, the Ashton VSG line is excellent. My favorite non-Cubano cigar.
    Cohiba Siglo IV es numero uno.

    I'm not much of a cigar smoker these days... have never smoked cigarettes... but 2 fingers and a mini hits the spot on a warm sunny afternoon in January.

    I had a boss that would pitch me an Ashton and we'd wander out to the parking lot for a "strategery" session.

    Yes, that was how he pronounced it.

    I'll go snag some. We need to have a cigars session at Tac-Con in March.

    Thread reminds me the Low Bourbon warning light in the cabinet is blinking.

    Must get some more Woodford.

    What say y’all to the Double Oaked? Worth the price bump?

    I just told my neighbor to pick me up another bottle of McKenna B.I.B. next time he visits the ABC store. Getting perilously low.

    (I do have sufficient Elijah Craig and Basil Hayden's just in case.)

    I can't find the McKenna anywhere. Dad had a bottle stashed. My sister and I liberated it over the holiday. It's even better than I remember it being the last time I had it. That and Elijah Craig barrel proof have just about killed everything else for me. I can't find barrel proof anywhere either.

    I had a bottle in hand a few months ago and as the shop owner walked past me he said "You don't want that".
    Knowing that he's familiar with my tastes, I bought something else that day.

    I'd still like to try it though. Regular Woodford is ok, but overpriced, IMO. Especially on AA for $8/pour.
    Been keeping an eye out for a sample size. Of this and also the Balcones Rum.

    Agreed on Woodford being overpriced.

    For oaky whiskey fans Jim Beam Double Oak is a helluva good deal.

    Man, that sucks. NC is awash wit EC barrel proof, and Genry McKenna BIB is pretty easy to find as well

    NE is, too. I bought my last EC barrel proof at Costco and they had 10 cases out. McKenna is in most HyVee grocery stores. Hell, the grocery store I was just at had 3 bottles of 2019 Sam Adams Utopias on the shelf.

    You need some Balcones Rum?
