Thanks for the recommendations. The Lost Spirits does sound neat never had whiskey from Cali.
The Ironroot was my most recent acquisition. It won best bourbon it is nice somewhat wheated and that Texas heat brings out the wood tannins. Get some stone fruit on the nose but is a little buried on the taste. Nice background whiskey.
Very smooth, you can smell the corn. It is great to sip while smoking a Cuban cigar. I have had Buffalo Trace, Eagles Rare, and Blantons. I love all their the bourbons that I have had so far.
I usually mostly drink scotch, but since PA shut down the liquor stores (and my stash starting to dwindle) I got my hands on some interesting local(ish) whiskey.
Even though I’m not really into bourbon, the Tom Boy has the most mellow finish I’ve ever experienced in a bourbon. I don’t think I’ll be getting it again, but is has been great for whiskey sours.
I’m really diggin’ the Folklore rye, the finish in red wine casks really misdirects the nose in a fantastic way. It smells like red wine in an oak cup, then the finish super smooth oak with a hint of vanilla. Definitely will be revisiting this one again.
