Allen, which bottle of Smooth Ambler is your preference? I realize the tasting room in Lewisburg is closed but as soon as it reopens I plan on gong there. My work takes me to Covington, VA every other Wednesday so it’s relatively close at that point. The Ancient Ancient Age has been delicious no matter what @JohnVee says about being low quality....
I have remained on the Elijah Craig Small batch 94 proof for four bottles now. Neat and perfect.
I continue to punish myself by repeatedly taking a nasty trip with Michter’s Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye. No matter how I cut it with a drop o water or an ice cube it tastes like it should be consumed with a mixer and an orange peel. Maybe bitters can make it palatable. Probably not, so I will continue short jaunts in a small glass.
Next up is Knob Creek Kentucky Straight Rye 100 proof small batch.

Out of what is available in their current lineup, I like their Old Scout Single Barrels and Contradiction. Their special releases (Very Old Scout or the Rye) are incredible, but they're also pretty expensive. The Single Barrels are really good, but they're still a little young at 5-6 years. They'll get better and better over time. Contradiction is just a solid pour and is a blend of their sourced bourbon from MGP and the stuff that they make in-house. As the in-house juice has gotten older and they've gotten better at blending, Contradiction has gotten better.

Can’t believe there hasn’t been a post in the last week....this was taken a week ago so there’s been at least one casualty from the lineup....wife had just come across a local store that had AAA and cleaned them out for me! She’s a keeper!! This is just the 1.75 liter lineup....

Are you sure? There seems to be a few bottles with less than the optimal amount......rationing may need to be enforced!
Great variety BTW, I've had all but the Dickel and three I also have in my inventory.....

Man, that's beautiful.
Thank you! A few years worth of hunting to track it all down. Coming in handy during these days of being stuck at home.

Bowman Brothers has good stuff! Been to their distillery and done a tour. Real fun and got to enjoy some of their liquor in the end. They make a really good gin, also got to try their take of cream liquor and tequila.
