Go on, geezer.
Has anyone ever tried this before? My wife’s ex bro in law gifted this to us last year and I still haven’t opened it.

Go on, geezer.
This is also a nice seasonal treat from Trader Joe’s

My first Jefferson's bottle. I think I expected something more extreme, given the unusual treatment of sitting in intense heat and humidity for an extended amount of time. Maybe some intense barrel character or something? It's actually pretty smooth and very graham crackery. A nice change-up from more straight forward bourbon.

I’m not the biggest whiskey expert so all I will really say is that this is no sipper even though that’s what I’m doing. Definitely a mixer type.

Very nice! I always have a bottle of Evan black bottle on hand. It was my grandpa's house whiskey, and therefore my training wheels/gateway bourbon. I used to buy him EW single barrel bottles every year, and wish I would've set a couple aside since I don't think they offer them anymore. Sheesh, I bought him EH Taylor bottles too, and now thats a lottery only item these days if yer lucky. Whiskey is crazy these days.

I was at a whiskey bar last week and tried what they called “The Macallan Experience.” It was $20 for 3 1.5 oz pours of these fancy Macallan’s that I’ve never had before. I wasn’t expecting it to come with little boxes that were filled with dried fruit and chocolate to eat alongside each tasting.
Left box was almonds and dark chocolate. Middle box was apricots and white chocolate. Right box was milk chocolate and dried cranberries.
Very cool and each tasting did complement each whisky.
The bottles were just for reference, I was not able to refill

Yup! I didn’t know any of them but I was looking them up while tasting and they go for prices I would never, ever pay for a bottle of whisky

I would've believed $40 for just one of the pours you got

had a 1:00 distillery tour at Michter’s today, which serendipitously was also the exact time they were dropping a limited release. As part of the tour, we were able to skip the line and reserve a purchase: I was able to get a three pack of Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon, Michter’s Barrel Strength Bourbon, and a stanard Michter’s bourbon for…well, not cheap, but way way way less than aftermarket prices. very excited.
