Here some more info. Always worth a try. The First Editions – Speyside – Aged 18 Years | Norfolk Wine & SpiritsSo here is my next experiment and a blind buy (kind of) . TMM you have to google Editions Spirits to find it. Then they run down what they offer. Looks to be very popular in UK not so much here. Only 220 bottles made of this one. Can’t wait to try it!

Come on out. Welcome any time.I usually only have one or 2 bottles of whiskey around. Just finished the 1792 the other day. Deciding what next. Following along with all this tasting and learning some of the differences is very interesting. Didn't realize the 1792 is a 'high rye'. Also considering trying scotch (highland -not the one that tastes like dirt ). Haven't had any of that in a long time. I can't afford a cabinet full of testers like some... Would be cheaper for me to fly out and test all of Toolmans stash, LOL. Decisions decisions.
A little spendy (around $70) different but really good. As usual the nose changes with time as does the taste. Smoke, dark fruits, chocolate, a little orange. Complex and fun to sip on over a half hour.I have heard good things about the Laws Bourbon but have never tried it?
I will pick some up, some day in preparation for Bens next visit. I have several of his favorites on the shelf. He does like a good bourbon. To me being a neophyte taster, Bourbon amazes me at just how broad the spectrum in flavor is. It can be really really rough and super smooth. I am still learning but Bourbon confuses the heck out of me with its diversity.A little spendy (around $70) different but really good. As usual the nose changes with time as does the taste.

Yep, me too. Every bottle is different. Look at Buffalo Trace distillery. Many of their labels are the same mash bill but just different ages, rick houses, and locations in those rickhouses. They are very consistent with their barrels and procedures. A lower floor makes for better bourbon. In front of a window makes a difference over a few years.

So, as I understand it, Rick has bourbon all over in his house...Yep, me too. Every bottle is different. Look at Buffalo Trace distillery.

Good on ya! I agree on the tasting notes thing. TMM has been schooling me but it is like they talk a foreign language. If I am sitting there and sipping while they explain it I can connect the dots, but when it is just me and the hound in the shop and I try, well not so much! I have learned a lot tho. One thing I know for sure is Whiskey is like tattoos Cheap whiskey ain’t good and good whiskey ain’t cheap.After seeing it mentioned more than once here, I went with Elijah Craig small batch today. (Not the fancy stuff in TMM's pic above.) Enjoying my first glass. I haven't got the whole tasting note thing figured out, but definitely big vanilla hit on the nose to start...
I promised the wife that I would quit drinking for three days... Feb 29, 30, & 31....
I will resume drinking on Mar 1st....
