@Doug Powers I never would’ve guessed it could go that long. That’s great.

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.

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

Oldie but still a goodie, mountain fruit from (what I understand) is an old head-pruned block of Pinot Noir on/near Sonoma Mountain, when young it was always big, rich and structured, this bottle still shows some structure but also great, still youthful fruit, long, lingering finish, really excellent!! — 12 days ago
