Sipping on just a little Whistle Pig 6 year. I found it unopened buried on a basement shelf. A lot of the WP hasn't been worth the price. This one isn't bad at all.
Mike, when we were in Florida the gal at the liquor store let me sample a WP 10 year. It was delicious. Of course they did not have a bottle. I tried a 10 year WP when I was in St. Louis and was paint thinner. I have really enjoyed Tin Cup.
I get the same with WP. My first bottle was a gift. It was the first Farmstock batch and really got me into chasing bottles. I can honestly say it was #1 or 2 of the best I have tasted. I have a Tin Cup. Sounds like I need to find it and het it back out. I haven't tries any of their latest releases. It was always a solid sipper. I have a whiskey and a rye. I got them sometime in 20 or early 21 before I started keeping records.
Invite a friend and have some fun. And a bonus bottle kill tonight. Frickin' Elmer T Lee is so good!
Driftless Glen Distillery had a 10 year Rye release party yesterday (9/4/25) so Ted and I made the trip. The party started mid afternoon so we started in Cambridge at Cash and Olive's Pub for lunch then drove out to Dancing Goat for some sampling and of course shopping. We tried 3, a High Rye Bourbon (which we brought home), a Port Finished Rye, and a Chocolate Bitters finished Rye. The rye was just meh and the chocolate rye smelled wonderful but we discovered the bitters gave it an odd taste mid palate. We did pick up a few bottles of their barrel finished Maple Syrup. Always delicious!
It's an hour drive to Driftless Glen in Baraboo and we got there in time for the party. They started the self guided tour in the distilling room where they were mashing and distilling rye and got to sample some fresh White Dog. It was quite smooth and sweet. No wonder their Rye's are so good. The tour went through one of the older rickhouses and followed up in the bottling building. There we sampled straight from the barrel ryes and some bottled 10 year bourbons. We also sampled and bottled our own 10 year Rye including the corking, labeling and shrinking the stopper seal. We wandered back to the main building for a delicious Orange Old Fashioned out on the patio overlooking the river. They had a raffle to finish off the event. It was a great time for sure.

Remember boys, you can't drink all day. If you don't start in the morning.
And one to think about:
One drink is just right, two drinks is too much, and three drinks is not enough...

How wide is the road in front of our house... any power lines? LOL
Hey @Scott Engelhardt If you ever take a trip to Wisconsin (you should) stop at J Henry Distillery north of Madison. While you are in the neighborhood, stop in Baraboo at Driftless Glen. We usually travel east of town to Dancing Goat while we are in the vicinity. Ted and I just helped with a barrel pick at J Henry that will be sold at Stark's as soon as it is bottled. I saw on their bottle menu that they have an annual release of Armagnac and Cognac finished bourbons. I found a couple and we tried them tonight. Absolutely delicious. Both of them. They are a distillery to keep your eye on. Not sold in Iowa (yet) but we had a serious discussion about that and they will work on that as they do want to branch out to neighboring states. One fellow in our group orders liquor from the state for the Grimes Fairway in the Des Moines area, so he knows all the in's and outs of the state liquor games. Cheers.

Mike, i have been to Driftless. This green river is quite nice, the Wisconsin Wheat is good, I can’t remember what the other bottle I git was but it was good.
I got a bottle of Buffalo Trace when we were on our trip, but that’s going to be a few months before I get to it, I need to finish the open bottle of the Wisconsin first

I haven't tried the Wisconsin Wheat. I do have the Green River which is nice for the price.
