Been loving the cask strength
Oh wow cool, first I'm seeing of those.
Well, since I already opened one bottle tonight, a second won't hurt. The was a ,, throw in" bottle coupled with a Stagg Jr pack. Really, really interesting, it's not often I get strawberry notes in a whiskey, and this also has chocolate too! Very drinkable too.

Totally agree, believe me this isn't a crime like never felting a chip set. I have 100+ open bottles and have been trying to focus on killing more old bottles before opening new ones. But when it comes to whiskey, I definitely succumb to shiny object syndrome.....Bottles are meant to be opened my friend.
The struggle is real…very real here. My modest collection of 100+ bottles has been drastically reduced since October. Not only have I sold off quite a few of my most desirable bottles, I’ve also given a good number of opened bottles to friends that frequent my cash game. And yes…I’ve killed a few of my opened remnants along the way with the occasional pickup joining the team.Totally agree, believe me this isn't a crime like never felting a chip set.

Haha! Yeah man, Cam is a freak, I couldn’t imagine guessing two blinds that specifically.@Pinkdan you mad lad, cam’s latest video is wild…JK!
I just picked up a bottle of C923 A22330338.
I had a sample of A22331728 that I threw in a blind against Jacob’s well b1, Japanese 2019 128.5p blantons STFB, GTS 23, spec’s JT Meleck pick, James pepper decanter.
Went SFTB, edging out C923 by a fraction of a percentage > Jacob’s well > gts >>> Meleck >>>>>>>> pepper
I’ve been real hesitant to open my c923 (but who am I kidding, I’ll probably crack it this weekend lol). I’ve had one other c923 sample (of unknown laser code) that was super disappointing…will have to track down an a23 code.
I get a big kick whenever I hear cam utter “Dan” - I rewinded to make sure it was pink dan haha
Cheers!
I love Backbone! I've had that bottle in my cart on several occasions...how is it?
Really good, classic sweet bourbon flavors (oak/vanilla/honey/burnt sugar) with some spicy edgy notes, very full flavor profile. And I paid like $16 for this when it first came, at that price I wish I had bought a case.I love Backbone! I've had that bottle in my cart on several occasions...how is it?
