  1. It’s a solid bourbon. Nothing really jumps out at you. At least not to me. But my palette is still a work in progress and I’m not able to differentiate between flavors that others claim to identify. Oak and a light sweetness is there. A little thin. Classic bourbon profile but nothing really unique. And I suppose that is the draw? You’re getting a really good bang for the buck when paying retail. And honestly I don’t mind that I paid $90 for it. Because those other prices I’ve seen are absolutely ridiculous and I am glad I didn’t pay into the triple figures for it. But I can say I got a bottle and have had an opportunity to try it. Will continue to drink until empty.
  2. Finally got my hands on one of these. I had seen them out in the wild but at a ridiculously high mark up. Found this one for $90 which I think is almost double retail if my research is correct. But based on the other prices I’ve seen out there I decided to jump on this opportunity. I’ll open it up at some point tonight and give it a spin. Never had it so I’m looking forward to it.
  3. I’ve been drinking all day. Finishing off the night with a heavy. Which means I’m gonna fall asleep on the couch. And wake up ready for some Esperanza’s margaritas…..Headed to the drunk thread…..
  4. Best of both worlds….
  5. Went to look for some WT8 today and came up empty. Ran across this and snapped it up. This was purely based on a review (here or elsewhere) I read saying this was really good. Course I could also be way off because I also recall a lot of people bagging on GB. Anyways, I’m gonna open it up later tonight and give it a whirl. In the meantime….anybody have any thoughts?

  7. I’m fukd up. Who cares to join me?
  8. Was sark getting in Matt’s ass???
  9. There’s a few things WF is known for. The Littlest Skyscraper. Wichita Trucks. Old High Coyote football. And of course the red draw. There’s some disagreement where it actually originated but I always preferred them from Bar L. I don’t even know if that place is open anymore. But you can’t go to pioneer and get the cheese enchiladas without a red draw. Other than that, WF sucks.
  10. Had to be in Wichita Falls last night. Made a stop in pioneer on maplewood. I went rice and beans as sides instead of the coleslaw and fries.
  11. Well we know who wears the pants in the family….
  12. I had always avoided Citizen as it seemed that Seiko had the better product. I have a Seiko King Samurai that I absolutely love and have worn more than any other watch in my collection. But there was always an article that would pop up about Citizen. Or a YouTube video that would be linked in a description. Or someone would post a pic of one on this thread. Many said that most professional divers prefer Citizen. I am no professional diver. Just a fan of watches. It seemed it was time to go ahead and give it a shot. Amazon had a good deal on the watch and it just made sense. There are many versions of the Fugu but I chose the simple blue color. This one, however, comes with the textured dial of which I tend to gravitate. It supposedly mimics a pattern that the fish makes during mating season to impress a female. Whatever. I just like textured dials. Seems solid and the lume is really good. 200m of water resistance so I can wear it in any conditions. Sapphire crystal. Crown on the opposite side may take some getting used to but not a deal breaker. Bracelet isn’t super great IMO but changing out straps should be no issue.
  13. I’m a big turkey fan. Rare breed (both bourbon and rye) is my go to. Russels is greatness. Never disappoints. I have a bottle of RR13 but haven’t opened it yet. Waiting for a special moment. Ive had trouble finding Kentucky Spirit until recently. Now I’m hitting on it fairly regular. Tonight I finished the bottom of one and am gonna open another. This is really good.
  14. Like you would know. Wait…..
  15. Homicide on the scene. Cops can grab a cup of coffee at the Bikini Coffee right down the road.
  16. Agree on the pricing. The Sinatra was the first one off the list because of that. The EHT SiB also caught my eye. I was going to go ahead and do it but that’s too damn high. There’s nothing else that really catches my fancy. Thanks for your input. I was able to pull back and see a clearer picture. Based on price and selection……
