  1. My replacement bottle should be here this weekend. Easily the best bourbon you can have shipped to your door for a little over a hundred bucks.
  2. I just made an unbelievably good old fashioned with 3/4 tsp cane sugar, 3 dashes angostura bitters, one 3” piece of orange peel and 1.75 oz of Willett 4 yr 114.4 proof rye with a luxardo cherry garnish. I feel a little bit bad using the WFE rye in an old fashioned, but it’s cold and I needed a Kentucky hug.
  3. Good lord. I was watching from the student section the last time this happened. Time to give Helton the Kiffin bus treatment.
  4. Brutal. Ref wants the game decided on a dead ball trash talk PF?
  5. Clay Helton is no better than Tee Martin at stopping the second half disaster that is the USC offense.
  6. Is anybody really struggling to find 1910 still? It’s at most Spec’s now.
  7. Looks like the old fashioned instructional video girl had been at it again.
  8. That Belle Mead cask strength on the bottom shelf is calling your name. Go back and get it.
  9. Made myself a flight board to hold the glencairn glasses Only took me about 10 hours because I’m the slowest wood/metal worker of all time. Top is 3/16 steel cut and die ground to hold the glass bases perfectly. The wood base is granadillo with leather straps to lift held with brass Chicago screws
  10. Elmer T Lee on estrogen, right? Nothing wrong with lower proof but that’s a weird comparison.
  11. I can find it for $31.99 routinely in Austin, but it’s not easy. In North Carolina it’s like Beam white label.
  12. I haven’t tried any of their finished options because I like bourbon that tastes like bourbon. A side by side of Jr and the Belle Meade would be interesting, but pretty sure the Belle would win for me.
  13. If you haven’t tried the Belle Meade Cask Strength for $55-ish you’re missing out. It’s like a slightly hotter EHT Single Barrel only easier to find and typically cheaper. Lots of Spec’s have it around Austin.
  14. I’m going to need to step my game up. 20 open bourbon and ryes plus two unopened that I need to bring home from the office.
  15. Went for the ER from peer pressure. It’s good but I want to try a store pick.
  16. Yes, my last one was just under 9 lbs and squeezed into the 11” bag. That’s what she said.
  17. I think the real humblebrag is a flooded lake house. Or maybe not.
  18. Daaamn. Sent my mom to look at our marina on lake Travis since we are on vacation in Mexico and West Beach road already had 4’ of standing water on it this AM. Another 10’ would be nuts.
  19. 687 is so 1.5 hours ago. Kissing up against 689 now. Llano is still flowing at 2.5 AC-FT/Sec with the Colorado arm about to start ripping as well.
  20. Probably has a maraschino cherry or three and a huge slice of orange. Kill it with fire.
  21. They also have old label Elijah Craig barrel proof and WT101 8 yr age stated. I think you can go up to 5 bottles for $103 shipping if you want to go big. But you’re right, Gold is the best you can buy routinely for that price.
  22. I had it and liked more than W12. Didn’t hurt that I was paying $14 and went three deep. Third one went down very easy.
  23. That’s not a bad deal right there. Hell of a night of sampling for things you never see at 99% of bars. You can stumble into a $20-$30 THH or GTS pour but not all 5.
  24. You can find handles of WSR all day in the Austin area for $32.99. W12 for $399 could be one of the biggest bourbon disappointments of all time. I’ve been pouring W12 for friends who haven’t had it because it’s about 75% as good as RY10 in my book.
