Stagg Jr. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2023
Nice pull. I don’t recall mine having a black label.
Ah it's the back label on the bottle. The front is embossed white lettering 😊 @Norman Gennaro

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Years Old Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2024
Soft flex for Norman. This bottle of 15-year was not up to par, unfortunately. It lacked complexity and a lot of the typical flavor profile elements. It tasted hotter than usual, and there was a fair amount of peat, which is not right. Still, it beats Jim Beam.

That is btw the best pic I’ve seen on here. Legit.
The bottle was new to me. I guess my friend had the neck pour earlier this year, so I don't know. I know what you're saying, though. It's also said that the lower a bottle gets, the faster the clock is ticking. I've got a few low bottles that need to be polished off. Come on over!
Love that saying and offer! I need to up my music and photo skills in the meantime
Balcones Distillery
Baby Blue Corn Whiskey
You've had quite the whiskey night! I think this is the only Balcones I've had. I remember it tasted young. Maybe I've the red label, too. 🤔

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof 2024
Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!
Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

I've bought this for the past 4 years, and this bottling is the most fruit forward. Candied fruit- apricots, cherries, and dates. The price has gotten out of hand, but it's yummy!
