  1. That was a close one today. Wordle 662 6/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  2. I haven’t tried the 10 yet, but that 12 goes so hard. You can almost feel that corner turning on slightly more available and high quality high age statements.
  3. Glad you got one, that’s one of my favorite findable bottles of the last year. Definitely a ton of oak, leather and tobacco notes on it.
  4. Should be mandatory to have 17s and fat sidewalls. I can’t even look at it.
  5. I had to double check that I hadn’t written this. I drink 12-16 oz water after every drink and it’s like magic. Well, maybe not magic but it both slows you down and keeps you hydrated. Bonus points for peeing all night and having your wife ask why you keep getting up.
  6. I love the free market and don’t mind dealers pricing at whatever the market will bear, but that’s too much for a truck with pretty abhorrent rear main seal leak issues. Also, sign me up for the GMC with an LT4/LT5 set up more for Texas ranch duty than Baja.
  7. U/U is like the barrel proof belle mead batches except not good.
  8. I think it took me at least that over several visits to the page.
  9. I just spent an hour teaching my sophomore chemistry (F you, molar mass!) and decided to open this as a night cap. Damn, Jack is just killing it right now and this leathery, oaky medium proof goodness could easily be mistaken for some of the best MGP I’ve ever had. It’s a steal at $80 MSRP and I don’t even hate it at $300-$350 secondary.
  10. Balcones Rye, Ironroot Harbinger and Iron Wolf.
  11. This calls for a liter of Early Times. It goes down easy for the casual bourbon guy who likes it over ice or with ginger and other people can drink it straight and enjoy.
  12. I mean if you want something good to drink on a ski trip and $50 doesn’t matter to you then why not? Little Book 01 tonight, back when Little Book was good and $89.
  13. $140-$160, totally worth it.
  14. Agree, what are you going to trade it for, an EHT Single Barrel or something? The secondary price to enjoyment ratio on this one is happily very low. This isn’t Weller SiB or anything.
  15. This made me laugh, but I think that might be taking it a little far. Coy and this malt are really good, but that rye really didn’t do it for me at all. The heritage barrel special release is good in the way that Rock Hill Farms is good, but I’m not going crazy for it. Making something like WLW or GTS must be really hard or more distilleries would be cranking out halo products.
  16. Parlaying OF King Ranch and some other stuff into WLW is like the guy who traded up from a paper clip to a house.
  17. With the sherry finish or just regular malt? I keep hearing about the American malt revolution but this was the first one that really did it for me.
  18. That’s been all over the auctions, might need to grab one. Weird that it’s euro market only, that’s not really the Woodford game.
  19. This is tremendous, easily the best Jack I’ve had outside of Coy Hill. Crazy dark with a viscous and oily mouth feel, lots of fruit and oak on the palate and a long brown sugar and lightly drying finish. The nose is a little weak with mainly alcohol vapor, which is weird considering the depth of flavors. I really liked the PHC double barreled this year, but this might be better for 1/3 secondary and 1/2 retail.
  20. That one really is kind of interesting, far better than the five malt stouted which was just plain insulting. And speaking of Malts, time to see what side of the Surly bourbon divide I’m on for the ‘22 special release JD.
  21. Torchy’s CEO is on a canal instead of open water? Inflation is a bitch.
  22. This is the real hunting these days. Looking at a whiskey list and picking out something you want that’s also a great value is still a thing even though finding retail rare bottles is over. Late last year I took a client to a cigar bar where they had $6.50 pours of Weller Single Barrel.
  23. Man, that Willett Wheated is trash at retail and nobody should be paying over unless they absolutely must show their friends how bad their taste is in bourbon. I’d buy the hell out of an $800 WLW though.
