Was drinking Pappy 20 yr tonight, which was super. Then I had a Willett rye distilled in 1984 that just blew my fucking socks off. Amazing. Great night.
Both sound great

Is that the single oak experiment? The guy at the liquor store was telling me about it. It was very intriguing. I am not certain if I like the fact that each bottle tastes different and I thought $63 for a small bottle was a little steep. I went home with some RVW 12 Special Reserve instead.
Got some Knob Creek. Never tried it before. Price seemed to be a bit more than a Bulleit type bourbon. Hope it's good.
Working through a bottle right now...was cheap ($25) on the military base when I was down in Cherry Point to welcome home a buddy from Afghanistan a couple weeks ago. Left him with a bottle of Elijag Craig and Blanton's and kept the Knob Creek for myself. It's ok, but not quite a smooth to me. 100 proof, so that may have something to do with it. I tend to prefer to let the ice melt a little longer before I really begin to enjoy it as compared to some more expensive favorites.
Wait you left the blantons?
Hell yes I did. The man is a Marine who has been living on a ship and flying Harrier missions day and night for the last 10 months while his only alcohol was 2 shit beers on "beer day" every 45 days at sea and some vodka his wife was able to sneak through the mail (clear, so it doesn't show up in a Nalgene bottle).
Besides, the Blanton's isn't as good as the Elijah Craig I left him. :thumbsup:
I bought a handle of Knob for my brother's homecoming from Afghanistan. I had to balance quality and quantity.
worth the price?

Picked up a bottle of Corner Creek Reserve tonight. I'm a big fan. Got a nice bite and has a lot of depth of flavor.
