I just ordered a bottle of barrel aged maple syrup from Pappy & Co. It came with a sweepstakes raffle to win a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year. The syrup was kind of expensive, but I bought on just to see if I can win the bourbon.

Just FYI if you're interested in trying to win a bottle.

So it's funny you mentioned...

One of my lady friends sent me a link to the Pappy syrup about a month ago because she knows how I like my Whiskey and absolutely crave pancakes every day of the week. I haven't ordered any yet though but this may be a good reason to spend that much on some syrup.

And more importantly... Another very nice lady friend just sent me this picture and told me that we needed to hang out soon.

Buddy, you and I are kindred spirits with regards to our wheated spirits.

Very nice! Please tell her you're bringing a friend! :D (Joking of course)

The special reserve Lot B is my most desired bottle at the moment. I just can't bring myself to pay black market prices. I almost caved over the holidays, but my wife and I both have expensive medical shit going on this month (not to mention a 4 year old). Trying to be responsible and all that :). I very well may give in soon, I want that bottle badly! I can afford it, it just feels irresponsible. I could find better ways to spend money I'm sure.

The wife an I, and our son obviously, also eat and crave pancakes often. My wife and I enjoy the pleasure of eating good food, and she loves to cook and experiment. She makes all kinds of infused liquors too. This barrel aged syrup was right up our alley, and definitely worth a try - even at the price. Plus I'm bored as fuck while stuck at home after the surgery, so it just seemed like a good idea lol.

I don't use instagram, but I copied this link from the pappy and co website:

Nice man, if you've read through here you know I love my Weller products.

Which one?

Standard (green label)?
Antique 107 (reddish label)?
12 year (black label)?

They're all good wheated bourbons with the same mash bill, but the green is only a 4 year I think. The antique is 7, and is a little hotter. And then the 12....I love the 12. It's cool to drink them side by side, you get an idea of how the same whiskey's flavor changes and evolves with more time in a barrel.

Some dude bought it for me and I drank it neat. It was quite good.

Right on man. All 3 are good, can't go wrong. They're all pretty reasonably priced too. Glad you liked it bud. If you ever see the 12-year, buy it. It's the best one. Hard to find sometimes/some places, but it's excellent. If you go back to the first post, you can see all 3 bottles in the pic. Also, since you liked Weller, try Eagle Rare sometime.

So back to this dude buying you drinks.....were you on a date or something?

:D

I've got this bottle set aside for when I decide to have a drink again. A little treat to myself after getting through the surgery recovery.

The small batch is about $20 cheaper than the single (and also quite good), but I decided to splurge a little bit. Plus, it was the last bottle on the shelf.

I expect a detailed breakdown on it.

I'm a bit slow....but I just had the realization that a glass like that would keep your hands from warming the whiskey. Very nice.
Yep. It's basically a glen cairn glass inside of another glass. Pretty nice.

The only downfall for me is that I'm a complete weirdo and they have a tendency to have a thick rim and it weirds me out.

When I get to the office I'll do some digging.

Maybe we can work out a trade agreement if you have access to things that I have a hard time getting and vice versa.
Wanted to revisit this. Please let me know if you can find Weller 12, Blanton's, and the Eagle.

I'd be happy to work a trade agreement out.
