In my most humble and uneducated opinion, yes.

@captainshooch said: Just opened the Copper Run Whiskey. It is pretty darn good and some of my friends say it might be even better than Stranahan's. For the price, I would buy it again no problem.

It is really smooth. Off to cook dinner :P
ozarks_irishman If they are close by then I suggest you go get you some. Well worth the price :-c When we visited them last month I tried three of their products. Ozark moonshine, Single batch and rum..Primary reason for the visit was to try to compare their whiskey with ours, to see if we were on the right track. Came away feeling we are!..With today's run I'm sure of it.

captainshooch

@ozarks_irishman cool beans. It is always nice when your stuff is as good or better, Yippee! How do I get a sample of your whiskey?

ozarks_irishman

Well, we're on the right track, just not to the depot yet..but if /when we get there, we'll figure that out!!

Not in my glass, but in my bottle. A Stoli Gold 750ml with 94% squeezings to hopefully get through customs.

Lloyd

This cider is just delightful

Our Bourbon, water,ice with a teaspoon of Vermouth...wow, really adds some interesting complexity!

Home made Vermouth is next.

Another local micro winery/brewery. Tonight we sampled some of the wines and next time will have a go at the beers..

The Farmhouse is outstanding with really good woody and vanilla tones. The fruty's were the missus choices :P

Smaug

Drinking Southshot Bourbon Manhattans at the moment. Hard to beat a nice bourbon for 11 bux a bottle.

It may not be the best version of bourbon. ...but it is really very good for the money.

2015 Expedition has arrived here. Pretty disappointing. Way overbalanced on the bitterness this year. Low hop aroma. Hop flavor, and malt are overpowered by the bitterness. Lacking the complexity that it has had in the past. I usually buy several cases each year. This year one four pack is three bottles too many.

Free left overs from the ACSA tasting event.

don't waste BigFoot drinking it the first year! 3-8 years is best, starts going after that....

Kapea

Usually I like Bigfoot best young. The melange of hop aroma, hop flavor, and malty sweetness balanced with the right amount of hop bitterness Is was exquisite. It ages well, but the hop aroma and flavor fade, and the malt becomes more caramely.

OK, you've convinced me to buy a case to lay down for aging @CothernanDistilling. Who knows, it may be a barn burner in a few years.

You're just showin' off @Smaug! :)

(nice perks! lucky you!)

punkin

The little bottle with wheat written on it looks familiar. Is it an aussie distillery?

Smaug

No Punkin.

Every bottle is from merica

Smaug

They were give aways at the end of the nights tasting event.

CothermanDistilling

I have done several 6-10 year verticals of bigfoot, don't let it go past 9, which reminds me I have some '06's laying around...

Kapea

A collector of vintage Bigfeet, me too. I've found that even with the oxygen barrier crown caps oxidation still happens over time. Time to put that '06 to bed! :D

Did you get to try some of this? It was spectacular!

CothermanDistilling

I have a friend that has some... I have about 40 bottles of weird barleywines i need to have a tasting with friends with...

Unsensibel

Barleywine is next on my to-brew list!

Followed by a black-forest-cherry-cake-porter

Kapea

Black Forest cherry cake porter... Do you have to hold your pinky extended when you sip it? ;)

punkin

Watched a woman do that with a taster at the local craft brewery on Saturday gone. :))

Unsensibel

@Kapea same thing as with your mead... Whatever gets the panties dropping
