Is this a thing?

I’ve had a whiskey every night for about the last month. First it was 50mL a night from the advent calendar, and since Christmas it’s been my own pours, but still only about that much.

First 24 days, no problem. But in the last week, on three non-consecutive nights I’ve had a pour of Dickel BiB, and each time on the morning after I have a SPLITTING headache that lasts well into the afternoon. Pour something else on an in-between night, back to no problem the following day.

Can anybody think of a reason that less than 2 ounces from one bottle would do this when other bottles of comparable proof don’t? Am I (probably) just imagining a correlation? It’s a pity, because I like the Dickel quite a bit, but I don’t think it’s worth continuing the experiment.

Seems highly unusual. Shouldn't be anything specific about the Dickel vs any other BiB whiskey.

Dickel is the devil. Simply brutal.

That looks like a beauty. I sacked off Dry-Jan this year and essentially had one drink most nights. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I didn't go completely dry but cut down from almost nightly to once a week! Seems like a win win in these times...

I'm lucky that we have pretty good access to all their whiskeys living in California. Also, if you ever find yourself stuck in the SLC airport for any period of time they have a bar there!

I was sad to hear they're turning Campfire into a distillery-only release. Love that stuff.
 
Where do y’all hold all your bottles? Looking for ideas on how to store mine. My girlfriend got me an oak cart for my birthday, but it’s a little cluttered and I may want to get a full “small-ish” cabinet.
