Saturday Night Drinking and Hoops Watching Thread

Or two. 

They're all delicious and to be honest in general I can't say that my palette ever tells me that one is necessarily better than another aside from something that just doesn't work for me. I didn't love the Whistle Pig, it was not in the same class. The Van Winkle is for sure the cleanest, smoothest but probably the least interesting and for how hard it is to get and what you'd have to pay to get a bottle of it, can't say I'd go out of my way to do so. The Handy and the Green's were probably the most interesting and best especially bang for the buck. The Smooth Ambler Limited was really, really good too, maybe neck and neck with the Handy for most interesting but same as the Van Winkle, for the expense and trouble finding, I'd take the regular store pick any day. The Pikesville seems like a pretty good everyday drinker, easy to find and reasonably priced but much lower on this list. Gonna make a Manhattan with it now and enjoy it. The Whistle Pig I probably wouldn't buy. I've really enjoyed some Russell's Reserve single barrel ryes and High West Rendezvous Ryes that I'd probably put up there ahead of the Pikesville.

Look I get it's named after John Wooden...but it a court made of wood as well
