Close enough for local (Wilmington, NC)

Credit-free sample/taster of 2 oz

I've heard of that. A few more details, please...

Port wine or rum barrel finished?

Rum barrel. Absurdly balanced And smooth rye whiskey. Butterscotch, vanilla, butter rum.

The only way to mess it up is to mix it with anything other than a few drops of water.

Fascinating, a rum barrel-aged rye whiskey. I might not even mess with the few drops of water if it was <100 proof.

A few drops of water (only) help it open up. Not a mixer — just an important taste enhancer.

I would think an ice cube ruins it — this is a room temp sip. On the rocks would be a crime.

Will have to put that distillery tour on the list for KY Bourbon Trail, Part 2 when travel becomes attractive again.

We had two or three 115+ proof tastes in March. Lotta "heat" there.

Angel’s Envy is a supreme distiller IM_O. The mainline bourbon is the best Old Fashioned and the best Manhattan bourbon going.

A favorite, and now I need to look for it again this year. Look out total wine!

Sorry I missed all this discussion last night, but it did give me a chance to listen to a great cover this morning.

Ha! I asked if you wanted me to pick up a 4 pack for you several months ago...

Went with Founders CBS last night, breaking into one of my few remaining bottles (since they will "never" brew it again). A wonderful bourbon barrel aged beer, one of my all-time favorites. Quite dark with very little head, hints of bourbon and a little sweetness from the maple syrup (it's aged in bourbon barrels which previously held maple syrup).

Great beer. I almost poured one of my remaining 4-5 bottles last PM but heard the call of a (Dire) Wolf instead (from the "other" Columbus). More later.

Yeah, at the time I had three 4-packs...didn’t last.

Ahh, I didn't know that. I knew you liked the BBA Quad a bit better and figured you had several 4 packs of that brew but not the Rye on Rye.

Ponysaurus Brewing
