Blades & Bourbon

[l1ranger]

I've enjoyed all the McKenna 10s that i have tasted, but they are different -which I sorta expect from a 10 year single barrel.

I sorta miss the way Rare Breed used to include the rickhouse and location on the bottles. There were differences, and there were a couple that I preferred (though I don't recall offhand which ones)

A surprise in my Easter basket!

I had the rare opportunity to drink some "Old Rip Van Winkle 10" today while waiting for a ride back to the shop where my car was being worked on.

The 2 oz pour cost me $60. Bottles of it are selling for between $1400-1700 on the Net!

It was very good and I'm still feeling the "high."

Sorry that I forgot to put the EDC in my pocket in the shot. but I had more important things on my mind. LOL!

PS: I also neglected to take a pic of the other 3 rare bottles of bourbon that they had sitting next 2 this one -- Pappy VW 12, 15 & 20. Was quoted $70, $90 & $150 for 2 oz pours these and I'm definitely planning to go back it drink some (if not all) of them as well.

Livin' the dream with a glass of Buffalo Trace and my Benchmade 707. Oh, and a NUB Nuance Triple Roast to top it all off, literally.

Pappy 15 is my favorite. Have a bottle stashed away that I got when my son was born.

How is that? I am seeing it pop up more often as of late.

Frey Ranch is a local distillery to me, and I have a distant relative there who works there and I’m all about supporting local. It’s quite enjoyable, but you definitely know it is cask strength.
That being said, I don’t think I would go through the trouble of hunting it down after I finish this bottle.

All of the Van Winkle bourbons have gotten beyond ridiculous. I remember when they could actually be purchased in a store... sometimes even weeks after they went out. My favorite is the 20 yr, I grabbed two bottles/year (one from each release) and drank one with friends. Did that a few years running. Those were the days...
