Mine will be done and dusted this week no doubt :D
Pain is driving me mad so will have a dram.
This glengoyne 12 is a personal fav. Sherried, and relatively smooth for age. Great mouthfeel and finish.
Super value. You can't go wrong with the 12.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...67a90124ec.jpg
Grant,
Do you own a fine liquor store or just keep them in business?
You know more about good booze than anyone I know.

I just ordered a 2 liter French white oak level 3 chard mini barrel.
My plan is to seal /cure it, let it pickle in a good spiced rum for 2 months drain it dry into a glass 2 liter bottle as a mixer Rum.
Then use the barrel to finish a 100% Rye whiskey for a year possibly to 2 years depending on taste I'll taste after the 1st year to decide if it's ready.
This is going to be the Rye. Bottled in bond , so it's a good candidate for a double cask finish. https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskie...proof-whiskey/
I will season the barrel for 2 months with Sailor Jerry's Rum. This will add some sweet molasses, date flavors to the other wise Earthy Rye.
My hope is they will get along after a year or two and make for a nice drink.
I wish I could share the out come with you guys.
I often think rum is over looked , you can get a nice Dark Bumbu small batch 15 year for $35.00 here ! Dark Rum is so under appreciated in the U.S.
It can impart so many complex flavors , it really shouldn't be over looked. https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/ru...E&gclsrc=aw.ds
The Rittenhouse is a good starting point and fairly cheap... and no, you cant ship spirit alcohol with a broken seal(legally). In Fact its difficult to ship period unless your a company.
Sounds like a good plan tho.. not sure i will deffo be around that long so i dont make long term plans:)
A few interesting bottles tucked under the stereohttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d4896f40c.jpg
