  1. Like you would know. Wait…..
  2. Homicide on the scene. Cops can grab a cup of coffee at the Bikini Coffee right down the road.
  3. 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……

  5. Speaking of four roses….it makes a damn fine old fashioned. Didn’t have any orange peel.
  6. Soooooo…I started putting ice on this and it tamps down that dill note. To a point where the bottle is almost gone. I will definitely buy another and drink this on ice. I just can’t do it neat.
  7. Just setting up the DP
  8. This movie is 1B to 1A Clerks.
  9. How old is this pitcher? Did he transfer from BYU???
  10. Now I can go ahead and finish up one bottle because I got a freshy to back it up. Got it from my local liquor store on the monthly drawing they do. I got the 7th pick this month and surprisingly this was still available at $90. That’s a damn sight better than some of the prices I’ve seen out in the wild. Based on the date lasered into the bottle, this is a 2023 and I’ve read good things about this vintage. Probably gonna sit on it for a while since I don’t know when I’ll come across another.
  11. I do like a good rye. There are some that I prefer. Some that I’m still trying to appreciate (looking at you Bulleit 12). But I saw this one on the shelf. Less than $40. I figured rather than hunt juice that is almost an impossibility to find, why not start trying some of these other readily available choices. There was one called Rocket Top from the same distiller but it was more than double the price. I’ll give this a spin and if I like it maybe I’ll spring for the other.
  12. FUCK OKLAHOMA!!!! [emoji869][emoji869][emoji869]

  14. BFLT recommendation? Check. Breaking bourbon gave it a good review? Check. 12 year rye for $50? Check check. Well know you have my attention. Nose is really nice. Viscosity in the glass looks really good for 92 proof. First sip….I thought there was no way there was that much of a dill note. So I let it breathe. Nope. It’s still there. It’s not completely off-putting. But it’s definitely not something I’ve tasted so predominately in a rye. I’m a big Rare Breed fan and I think at this price point I’ll stick with the Turkey product. But I will continue to revisit this bottle.
  15. That last shift was good.
  16. Decided I couldn’t wait. Went and got it today.
  17. You only get to pick one bottle. I do, however, go in on occasion after the draw is over and ask if everything got picked. Sometimes all the bottles haven’t been taken for whatever reason. The owner from time to time will tell me what’s left over and if he’s willing I’ll ask him if I can purchase any of the scraps. I’ve gotten a few ER and ECBP bottles that way. Nothing too hard to find but it keeps me in his good graces knowing that I will purchase from him. I can’t make it in to pick up my bottle today but tomorrow I will run up there and pick up the SFTB I chose with my pick.
  18. What should I choose? Blantons straight from the barrel is intriguing. I have a bottle of Stagg Jr but would like a backup. And I’ve never had the Hancocks.
  19. Couldn’t resist. Really like the look of this watch and had to order one for myself. Should be here in 4-8 days.
  20. Found this chilling on the shelf at a liquor store I just randomly decided to enter.
  21. Never had this before. Spent so much time trying to find other stuff that I always passed on this while it was right in front of me. Gonna give it a chance tonight. I know it’s nothing new but it’s new to me dammit!!
  22. Picked this up Friday night. Just sitting on a shelf at Specs. I’ve a had a few of these bottles in the past. The 124.7 was really good IMO. The 5 malt made me question life itself. As long as this is better than the 5 malt I will be happy with it. I also picked up a Kentucky Spirit which I oddly had a hard time finding. I’m a big time fan of just about all things WT and was super jazzed to purchase one. Leads me to this question….when does total wine come out with their RR10 pick? I bought one years ago and I can’t remember what part of the year it was.
