Took a trip to JD for a barrel pick and look what I saw. This is the best pour of 2025 hands down.
“Just walked out of Fry’s in Chandler, AZ and Total Wine camelback location with a wild bottle haul. The selections at these stores are insane.. AZ is a whole different league. Fry’s actually carries premium whiskey bottles and there are 27 Fry’s locations in Phoenix. Total Wine’s camelback store is massive. Their camelback location has the kind of spirits variety that feels next-level.
Meanwhile, back in Albuquerque / Rio Rancho, the liquor scene just doesn’t compare. Even the cottonwood Total Wine location is way more limited, heck I can’t remember ever seeing allocated bottles there. Meanwhile, In Rio Rancho, you’ve really only got an Albertsons grocery store that carries their weight of allocations. It’s wild how much more you can score in Phoenix. Latitudes is a good “go to” location but from my experience, they lack basic allocations.

Got another great "Gift Set" deal at my local Spec's tonight!
Feeling like something a bit different so I went for this twice barreled single malt whiskey aged in sherry. I definitely get the sherry on the nose. Like a jar of cocktail cherries.
Pleasant palate as well. I get one of those cheap gas station hostess cherry pies. Artificial overly sweet cherry with the cheap doughy pastry crust. Not the pie I’m taking home to my family on Thanksgiving but the pie I get at a gas station on a road trip when I’m feeling a bit scandalous.

Review: Watershed Straight Bourbon Finished In Great Lakes Barrel Aged Christmas Ale Barrels, Limited Release
Distillery: Watershed Read More/>
ABV/Proof: 53.7/107.3
Age Statement: 6 years, Finished for 9 months
Mash Bill: 72% Corn 21% Rye 7% Malted Barley
If you’re in Ohio, or planning a trip here soon, Watershed may have piqued your interest in starting your Christmas shopping a little early. Great Lakes Christmas Ale hardly needs an introduction, but finishing a bourbon in their Barrel Aged Christmas Ale barrels is sure to catch the attention of many, even those who don’t typically reach for bourbon.
Nose: Fresh cut oak, toffee, baking spice, and subtle red fruit. I would say this nose is very toffee forward.
Palate: Red fruits emerge right away leading into clove and cinnamon spice. As I work my way further, sour fruit, subtle toffee and tannic oak. Though I do find some notes, I think the baking spice is incredibly dominant.
Finish: Like I mentioned in the palate, it’s very dominant baking spice giving a long lasting hug, subtle red fruits and drying oak.
Rating: 6.6/10
I think this is a cool collaboration and one that’ll be a great conversation piece during the holidays, if you are lucky enough to find a bottle. With that being said, I also think this is teetering on being too baking spice forward for some. Regardless, keep your eyes peeled in select OHLQ stores for this. Cheers!🥃🥃
