Late to the punch again this week. It's almost time to be thinking about next week's roundup, and here I
am just getting out the words for this week's collection. This week, I am writing about whiskey that is uniquely American, bourbon.
I agree with Dick. The Jim Beam Repeal Batch was great. Way more drinkable than the white label, lending it to being drinkable on it's own, outside of a mixed drink. I wrote a review about the Repeal Batch a while back.
Dug this bottle out of the back of the cabinet tonight. Forgot I even had it. Similar to the white label. Thin and not much complexity. Still not bad though. I'd drink this over white label Beam any day. #bourbon pic.twitter.com/vAr5BAgxc1

I would love to go sit down and help with this collection! This is the kind of whiskey collection that needs friends and good conversations. There are a few standouts and I would love to sink my teeth in to that Knob Creek and the Rare Breed!
So, who wants to come help? #bourbon pic.twitter.com/PUGPqlosEw

Sometimes I think that every night is an Old Fashioned kind of night. It's a cocktail you can settle in with and enjoy a good book or share deep conversations with. Like most, I discovered this great cocktail while watching Mad Men, and it became my weekly tradition to have friends over to watch the new episode and pour a couple of Old Fashioneds.
It feels like an old fashioned kind of night. Cheers all out there. I hope you’ve had a great day and have an even better night. #LoveYouAll #Bourbon #OldFashioned pic.twitter.com/esG0csmiOe

The Willet Pot Still is a bourbon that honestly gets shit on a lot. It is a very polarizing bourbon. Is it the best bourbon out there? No. Is the worst bourbon on the market? Also no. Now, I don't have it in my current collection and I don't plan on running out to get a new bottle. If I found myself in a situation where this was the only bourbon option, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.
Dicided to give the Willet Pot Still another try. It has improved a little since I initially opened it up months ago. Still not great though. Heavy corn and ethanol taste to it. Just doesn't fit my taste profile. #bourbon pic.twitter.com/vwqtHGH09C
