Pendleton is good stuff. I also like Glenlivit single malt scotch.
I keep a fairly good selection of mostly bourbon on hand but I'm also open to any good whisky. 
OP
Nice selection!

Have had to wait to drink until I stopped taking my antibiotics. I'm done now!
Tonight, we will be starting slow. Going head-to-head in the initial tasting: Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek 9. I will report back on the results of my research. Not right away, you understand, but maybe tomorrow.

Enjoyed both bottles. The BT was everything people say it is. Smooth, approachable and sweet. The KC has a little more proof so it's a little more, shall we say, aggressive. Different, but still very good. The next battle will be a little while, as I am waiting for an online order. Stay tuned for Eagle Rare 10 vs. E.H. Taylor small batch.
Very interested to hear about the Knob Creek 9, I have a some on order.Have had to wait to drink until I stopped taking my antibiotics. I'm done now!

It was as sweet as the BT at first, but the mid palate wasn't as oaky. Finish for me was drying. Overall, I liked it and expect to like it more as my palate gets more experience.
One of my bartenders offered ma a sample of some high-dollar Jack Daniels Single-Cask 135-proof stuff. Smelled like cheap rubbing alcohol from the drug store. He said no one had been able to take a shot without gagging. But I am a professional, so down it went. It burned, tasted exactly like rubbing alcohol would, and was a sorry example of a Jack Daniels product. But I didn't gag. They were impressed. I was not.
Wow! That's a twenty year supply for me.
So, what have you been sampling lately? About the KnobCreek 9, makes an excellent Old Fashioned if you are into cocktails.
Not into cocktails but was pleased with the Knob Creek 9 I ordered. Not as smooth as some of my other Borbon's, but I still
enjoyed it.
OP
Tonight, I think I'll try the Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Then maybe a jack and Coke using the single barrel select.
You can't go wrong with any one of those selections. All are very good whiskeys in their own right. I'm currently sipping on a Dark Pumpernickel Rye made by Middle West Spirits, out of Ohio. It's a pretty good Rye whiskey at only 96 proof !
OP
Haven't tried any ryes as of yet. Might have to give that one a try.

Might as well just sit here and drink.
Still swigging Trader Joe's Kantuck Generic.

I'd you're looking for a rye…Whistle Pig 10 yr…was my first rye, a neighbor gifted me for helping him install a wood stove (that was scheduled for 2 hrs and lasted 6 hrs). And ruined me for any others…
