I've been slacking on posting - have taken a few pictures, though. I'll get them posted sometime tomorrow.
This morning I opened a bottle of Clyde May's. My previous experience with Clyde May's Alabama style Whiskey wasn't thrilling. It was the 110 proof Special Reserve, and I found the strength of the apple (both scent and taste) to be somewhat offputting. Today, however, was a limited release cask strength - aged 8 yrs, and bottled at 117 proof. The difference was significant, and I very much enjoyed this one.

Catching up on pictures....
One of my local liquor stores selects & buys barrels of a variety of whiskeys.
This is one (you can just see the shop sticker on the side). New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon, with a Malanika puukko (walnut on 80CrV2)
The first few sips after I open a bottle of this are always weird for me - I don't care for beer
I did finish the bottle of Bulleit Cask Strength that I posted a bit ago...but the girl tossed the bottle before I could get another picture. Not sure if it was the effect of it getting some air, or (more likely) just me not being so damn tired; but I found the bottle more enjoyable after the first two days. I don't know that I'll buy it again, though - there are so many better bourbons at that price (and lower!!)
Here's the Clyde May's I mentioned the last time I posted. I took the picture that day; but was too lazy to load & post it. Also shown - Dozier Arkansas Toothpick & SteelCraft Bodega. (I haven't finished this one - I probably won't be able to get another; so I'm going to make it last)
And last night's pour - Maker's 46 Private Selection (I'll get the bottle in next time). With the same Bodega wonder how that happened??
Please forgive the fingerprints & spots on the glass

Smoking hot blonde at the beach........
The hot sauce was for the fish tacos not the beer.

Four Roses Small Batch, and ZT0200kw (with smoothed scales)
BTW - where the heck is everybody? This thread was on page 10, and the last post was almost 2 weeks ago (I thought about posting a knife with tea the other day; but was too lazy to get the camera)
