  1. Lordy - Made my biggest purchase to date this week and, instead of going for a single bottle I went wide and knocked out like 1/4 of my list. Will post pics when it all trickles in...

  2. Had a fortunate event last week so I’m shopping for something appropriate to celebrate. Came across a couple insane options in DC at this DuPont Circle spot. They probably have 90 of the 100 bottles on my “buy this instantly and don’t look back” list, but with these prices it’s less of a celebration and more of an investment.

    Gonna be interesting to see what I wind up snagging... sadly it won’t be either of the two above, but it will be noteworthy.

  3. Ok, so this is outstanding and I honestly can’t wait to dip a cigar in and spark it proper. A bit too bold for a weeknight pour but just right for Saturday night.

    FiL, who is a great guy despite being from Ohio, pulled out this gem. The bottle is way cooler than what was inside and I wish he only had a Texas incarnation.

    Also happened to taste my first EHT Barrel Strength and got DAMN that is a fire pour. Delicious, but filled with unending heat!

  4. It’s so strange driving around town now, seeing spots from the show that have been transformed, others that are the same and some that are worse.

    But I suppose that’s Baltimore for ya...

  5. I have a love/hate relationship with the bourbon market... My eyes got HUGE when I walked in the door, but I quickly shot the guy behind the counter a sour as fuck look.

    Despite there being quite a few bottles on my list behind the counter, I ended up only pulling the trigger on the Cigar Blend because:

    1) I’ve never seen it on a shelf anywhere
    2) Of all his overpriced hooch, it wasn’t that unreasonable.

    Also snagged a handle of Old Charter for $29... hard to beat 8YO Buffalo Trace juice for that price.

    This bottle is also sitting empty at our AirBnB and I kinda wish there was a sip left:

  6. i almost typed this word for word.
    a couple of years ago, we were at some restaurant where a couple of us had dinner, but then others joined us after for drinks, and i wanna say we were drinking blantons or whatever was ~top shelf to sip.  a friend of a friend joined us, and we ordered him one, and when it came, he was like, "gotta catch up" and went to shoot it, and the whole table was like, "no no no!" but he did it anyway.  moron.
    if i never take a shot again, i'm fine with that.  i'll shotgun a beer, but that's about it.

    I don’t think I’ll ever stop shooting high quality tequila... yes, I sip it too, but I have ZERO qualms throwing back Dragones or similar like it’s Cuervo on 2-1 night.

    Bourbon? Never.
  7. I’m gonna need a review on that Pavitt - Found one today, but the Tennessee juice kept me from pulling the trigger...

    In other news, I poured a God-Tier Sazerac tonight with these beauties and I’m currently about to fly out of my seat!

  8. I hear much the same for the 4 above, but I’m willing to drop into HH on a Tuesday for a chance at OF.

    Sitting in a line for hours at BT for a shot at retail ER? Fuck that noise...
