Tasting Weekend / Whiskey Shelf

[CongaJon]

Visited a knowledgeable Whiskey drinking friend this weekend and enjoyed two epic tasting sessions! I think he was particularly generous after receiving his Christmas gift. I also purchased a few bottles to add to my beginner's collection. EW BiB, Smokey Grouse and Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair.

Friday evening's lineup:

Somehow I neglected to photograph Saturday's.

And his Christmas gift (not the bottles):

Did you make his Christmas gift?

Either way, I bet he loved it!

Yeah, I did. I had a decomposing barrel being used as a planter, so the metal bands and the uprights they are connected to came from that.

Of course, I had to make one for the shed as a prototype! No lights on mine, though.

Your friend has good taste in Bourbon and Scotch. What was your favorite?

Friday night was probably Blanton's Single Barrel. Saturday, Hatoyama Small Batch. So far, I have liked pretty much all of them!

Congrats on what looks like a great weekend with good whiskey. BTW, my first name is Chris so one of those racks would look great in my house too.

After my recent shipment, had to squeeze another shelf into "Jon's Juke Joint!"

Note the railroad nails. 1961 is my birth year.
