  1. the stories on the back label usually come across as fluff and hogwash. some kind of marketing ploy to make the bourbon stand out when there is nothing in the bottle to make the bourbon stand out. i'm not saying its bullshit, but a distillery closing in the last 20 years is like a munitions plant closing during wartime. there's just too much demand. ive heard of thefts, and fires, and massive spills, and mergers and buyouts, but am not aware of any closures.
  2. ben's the only one left thats not even playing. he's just voting for whoever they tell him to and hanging on. no chance of winning. q is not really playing anymore either, since he's been the villain for the past 4 days. he's the only reason so many have left with idols in their pocket. every time he's been the slam dunk target. amazing he's still here. shows how the deception and lies are stronger with this group than past. no one has had a clue or a hint of an instinct theyre about to be blindsided. usually you have a hunch thats somethings not right by the way you see be talking or whispering, or the look in their eye when they're talking to you. this is master deception. hunter is the only one that had a feeling but they reassured him at tribal not to play it while stabbing him in the back. never seen that happen before.
  3. i have that botte, but didnt remember the story on the back. what distilleries have closed since 2010? that surprises me since the onset of the bourbon craze started soon after that.
  4. most people recommend angels envy as a starter bourbon. if you're a newbie i would try all those that carl suggested. store picks i would not recommend since you have to experience the nuance of knob creek before you can appreciate a store pick of knob creek. makers mark, knob creek, and buffalo trace would be the three mass-batch, on the shelf, <$50 bottles and brands to start with and branch out from.
  5. still a buy. they are highly sought after. little books are nice too, but much rarer.
  6. what batch is it? whats the asking price? its probably going to be a yes, no matter what your answers are. i've killed two of my six bookers just recently, only to free up shelf space. i'm getting turned off on the higher proofs lately, but there is a lot of flavor in these.
  7. they're better than maryland.
  8. well damn. dont tell me youre a stars fan too. whole lotta celebratin goin on.
  9. ive only had one willet purple top and its one of the best bourbons ive ever tasted. very memorable. it reminds me of the birthday bourbons. unlike any other bourbon out there.
  10. maria orchestrated that one, which will put a target on her back. seems like everyone but ben and charlie have made moves they could use with the jury. venus really hasnt either but she thinks she has, and at least she's vocal and stirs things up. ben and charlie are just going with the flow.
  11. dang, sierra leone was high up on my list too. i usually shy away from picking the winner from the 1 or 2 post, so leaning towards the two justify offspring plus honor marie. great value in all three of those, and better starting positions.

    that looks pretty damn good.
  13. was at heaven hill a few weeks ago, and mckenna 10 was their best available. no parkers heritage or old fitz, even in the vip tasting. i am always happy to get it though. eagle rare, henry mckenna, and russell's are all automatic buys for me. to get a quality bourbon, aged 10 years, at that price point is a value and perfectly suitable for every day drinkers.
  14. hunter was never a threat to win this thing. he was great in challenges but inept strategically. both he and tiff were certain to play their idols, according to the edits, but neither did. hunter was desperate for reassurances on whether he was safe or not and trusted what he heard over his instincts. here's the way i see it: venus and ben have zero shot and are just hangers on. q also has no shot because he's alienated himself. liz would be next. she has some smarts but maybe that dont apply to this game. that leaves tiff, kenzie, maria, and charlie. kenzie is the most vocal of that group, so first out. final three is maria, charlie, and tiff.
  15. liz orchestrated that blindside. since tevin orchestrated the soda blindside and got voted out right after, makes you wonder if liz is going next week. i think its safe to say that q is in an alliance of one. maybe hunter is with him, but only because hunter is worthless strategically. the challenges are fun to him, but strategy talk baffles and confuses him. q turning on tiff, if i were tiff, would be a death blow. no more confiding in him, he's on his own. i find it peculiar, and not very smart, for him to think bringing along a goat is the old way of survivor. its the smart way. the time to pick off the threats is now.
  16. q is unstable and needs to go. after throwing the whole tribal council into chaos he ended up not getting one vote. he deserved to get all of them.
  17. What is the correct order of the border trilogy? is it the border, the force, the cartel?
  18. I’m sorry, did Jeff really say cream cheese enchiladas?
  19. netanyahu has to go
  20. sftb would be my pick. its the rarest of those listed. coincidentally, its the only one i dont currently have on my shelf.
  21. am i the only one that's disturbed by the rampant male pattern baldness in japan? i know its shaved but that only makes it worse. it's a bad look. you shouldnt do it. it looks bad. its not good.
  22. there was apparently a lot the producers chose to edit out. what we saw is maria telling charley she trusted jem more than rockandroll dick, and thats how they left it. i got the impression charlie was swayed to vote with her but the opposite happened. but whats peculiar is she was so convinced that she played both votes on jem. she could have saved that for a much more crucial time (down to 6 players). why play it now when it makes little difference whether jem or rockandroll dick goes home? wont help her in the jury. just wasnt a crucial time. still, fucking the tribe over by burying the box was deceitful, so justice was served. on top of that, she lobbied too hard, talked too much, leading up to tribal. she should have laid low, unless everyone already knew she was the one that hid the box. thats what i'm thinking and they just edited that out so we'd be in suspense.
  23. is there any nudity in that version?
  24. ive been wanting to see it but not on any of the channels i have access to yet. this whole situation has put me in a semicircle of consternation.
