A couple of recent Hold Card pickups from Julio's Liquors.

The Cotswolds Distillery Sherry Cask came in recently (shout-out Kerrin Egalka). Cotswolds is doing great things for English Whisky. I love that purple packaging too, nice color.

The other bottle is another product of Ryan & Randall's mad science. Copper & Cask "The Doctor Is In" is a 6 year, 118 proof Straight Bourbon finished in a *Dr. Pepper* Cask! Don't knock it until you try it.

We had a cozy little gathering with just a handful of friends Saturday, with no theme other than to try some 'good stuff'. We whetted our appetites with a couple of small sample sets my wife gave me shortly after we met. 12 samples in total, just enough for small tasting pours.

Friends brought Mehkong cane spirit from Thailand. My neighbors brought a 23 year Glen Rothes 1997 Cask Strength and a nice beer from Amory’s Tomb Brewing Co., which we used as a palate cleanser part way through the evening.

I just kept pulling things, and in the end we went through 20 of my bottles over the course of the evening. It was an amazing night, so many good bottles.

Not in the order we did them, in part because I didn't record the specific order and in part because I can't be arsed to try to remember:
Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph
High West Bottled In Bond rye & Cask Collection bourbon finished in Barbados rum barrels
Glenmorangie 1987 Margaux Cask Finish, Distillery Manager's Choice bottled 2001, Cote De Nuits Wood Finish, 30 year Oloroso Cask Finish, Tain L'Hermitage 1975, Tain L'Hermitage 1978, Year of the Rabbit 23 year old, Grand Vintage Malt 1991, and Carn Mor "Celebration of the Cask" Westport (Glenmo in disguise)
Amrut Greedy Angels 12 year, Spectrum 004, and Single Cask Single Grain
Clan Denny 1991 Cameronbridge 29 year & 1978 Port Dundas 33 year single grains
Copper & Cask "Roxie" rye & "French Kiss" bourbon from Julio's Liquors
And, last but not least, Compass Box Great King Street Experimental Batch 00-V4

There may have been a couple of other random silly things at the end... 😉

Today's additions - first a Clan Denny 14 year Port Dundas single grain Scotch from auction. And from Julio's Liquors Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society the last of the Maker's Mark stave run, "Encore". Plus two Copper & Cask releases - "French Kiss" 7 year bourbon finished in Armagnac and "Roxie" 8 year rye finished in a Moxie seasoned cask.

That's right, Moxie. Yes, it's good.

Both C&C bottles and boxes are signed by Ryan Maloney and Randall Bird.
