@soccer_dad41 The Reds’ staffer wouldn’t really answer many questions. She kept saying they had had many issues with StubHub selling tickets that had been verified as sold by them. Essentially duplicate tickets. Thus, they called the ones from StubBub illegitimate.

But wait…there’s more. Incredible bartender encouraging me to try more and more Swedish liquor at the Spirits Museum. Quickly falling in love with Swedish whiskey. The chestnut-finished rum isn’t bad either.

Taking full advantage of the Swedish spirits at this museum bar…a Swedish whiskey tasting.

Walking this morning in Stockholm, I stumbled up the Spirit Museum. As the name suggests, it is the museum of Swedish spirits with a focus on @AbsolutUS and prohibition in Sweden. Fascinating displays and a tasting of Swedish liquor. Highly recommend!

This is the Pharmarium (Swedish for pharmacy) Old Fashioned in Stockholm. Made with @MakersMark bourbon and @Angels_Envy rye, refined sugar, and house made bitters, this is my first old fashioned in Sweden. This is fantastic. Smoked and nicely balanced, the house bitters add a nice herbaceous kick to the cocktail. At the similarly named Pharmarium.

Okay Twitter-Sphere. Work is taking me to Stockholm in a couple weeks. Suggestions for best places to drink whisk(e)y in the city?

If you haven’t tried @ShortBBourbon, why not? These guys are releasing some really great stuff at reasonable prices. Found this single-barrel Bee’s Knees at my local @kroger. In today’s bourbon market there are a number of honey-finished bourbons and ryes out there but this is a bit unique in that it is a double barrel toasted bourbon finished in honey barrels. A complex whiskey with a nice balance of sweet and drier astringent notes from the oak. For $100, I’ll be grabbing another before they run out!

For a casino bar rye old fashioned made with @BulleitUSA, they did pretty well the ice isn’t right but it’s a casino bar.

@chiefd180 I often get banana from anything from Old Forester. I wonder if my recovering sense of taste can’t detect the banana yet whereas the more tart cherry was so present.

8+ weeks of no taste or smell from COVID. Finally, both beginning to come back so cracked this one to celebrate. This is a cherry bomb. I have a 6-year Willett with a similar profile but otherwise can’t remember a bourbon with a profile quite like this. There is an interesting and nice creaminess to this 1924. Reminds me of the soft creaminess of lavender without the flavor. For a 10 proof bourbon, there is a decent astringent profile that gives it a relatively oaky, dry finish.

@dolfan565 Don’t disagree. I’m at about 85% but my palate isn’t as good right now as it was before the middle of February. Working diligently to re-develop it.

As a Kentuckian who is in Chicago every month for work, I totally agree with you. There are bars (even some dive bars) with impressive bourbon selections and equally knowledgeable staff. Even this particular bar which is normally solid, has some really incredible single barrels, and hosts bourbon dinners monthly is usually spot on. Last night seemed to be a confluence of the worst of the worst on both sides of the bar.

I’m sitting at a bar in Chicago right now. You can’t make this stuff up. Guy sitting next to me talking to the bartender… Guy: you know, @WildTurkey 101 is the best bourbon you can buy for the money (note: I was tracking with him at this point as I agree it is outstanding bourbon for the price!). It’s the same stuff as that hard to get bourbon from @BuffaloTrace and @basilhayden. It’s all made in the same place and it’s the same stuff. They just put it in different bottles so they can sell it to suckers for a lot of money. Bartender: Yeah. Can you believe people come in here all the time and don’t want to drink whiskey from Kentucky because it’s made in Kentucky. They really prefer Willow Jane and Baby Jane because it’s made in New York. I am dumber for having listened to this conversation.

@BossHook @khmr33 @WildTurkey Actually, it was an older gentleman and an older bartender. And yes, I know Chicago well. Here monthly and have visited tons of incredible bourbon and cocktail bars in the city.

Totally agree. I’m here every month for work and have been to many incredible bourbon and cocktail bars in the city. This was a confluence of stupid I have never experienced here before. Sadly, it’s at a bar I regularly visit and have usually found them to be incredibly knowledgeable. They have a number of their own single barrel picks!

First time at Repeal Steakhouse in Louisville located in the historic first bourbon bottling facility. This is their signature old fashioned made with @knobcreek.

It’s #ThirstyThursday and this @eaglerarelife 12-year is incredible. The banana note on the nose and palate is uncharacteristic for @BuffaloTrace (more commonly found in @oldforester and @JackDaniels_US products). Long finish of oak and caramel. We will be happy when this does actually become more easily found on shelves everywhere. Have you had this, yet? Let us know in comments.

@DerbyCityPhil @knobcreek The story the server told was the building originally housed the J.T.S. Brown & Sons bottling facility. They claim this was the first commercial bottling location for bourbon. Very cool if true. Still cool if only partially true.
