Yep. I was about 40th in line for Heaven Hill 90 on some random Friday a few weeks ago. They gave out 36 bottles. If they put out 1 or 2 more cases, I get a bottle comfortably. Similar results for 1924 and Thirteenth Colony Cask Strength Double Oaked.

This. Their single barrel and store pick program has fallen off tremendously. It’s difficult to dial it in if you only make picks once a year, and if you’re making dozens of picks at the same time.

Is avoiding Baltimore a past trauma thing or they getting healthy on defense? Plus Lamar is hurt/hedging his bets until he absolutely must came back for the Ravens to make a run. Yes Henry is a problem, but we’ve had past success against him. And the Ravens defense is horrible.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
I’ve listened to a fair number of post season interviews with Gilligan and Seahorn. The atom bomb final scene was a note from an unnamed Apple executive. He/she was wanted something punchier than the planned ending. It mostly worked, but I understand the uneven criticisms of the season finale. He compared the atom bomb to the machine gun in the Cadillac in Breaking Bad. They created a problem, and Gilligan and the writers room have to create an out. Seahorn touched on Carol’s substance abuse issues. Basically, Carol isn’t an alcoholic, but she sometimes takes it too far, i.e. the breathalyzer in the Land Rover. Helen’s concern for Carol’s drinking/the motion sensor was born out of them trying to conceive, and not a genuine substance abuse concern. Kind of wild how often they use Seahorn’s stunt double. Examples: running in the season finale, backing up the truck in the season premiere. I guess Seahorn is a master of many things, but not practical special effects. Sounds like the actress portraying Zosia takes a different approach. She taxied the plane in S1E2, and did some helicopter flying scenes in the finale. She’s certified on choppers per Gilligan.

All the criticisms of this show are well warranted. I never defended it, but I think I’m going to stop suggesting it to people. Here to the end though.

I think the smarter campers will have a couple and go home tonight after Tilted Bottle’s preview. A pick ‘em on the Weller is a bad sign. There wasn’t much Antique out based on the Reel.

So locked into the 7 seed pretty much no matter what? New England is a good match up for us, and we have something for Josh Allen. Need some weather luck. At Pittsburgh sounds pretty damn good.

Brewzle acknowledged at the beginning of the video that drops were the only way to purchase BTAC in Alabama at MSRP. I don’t really pity him as his side hustle is traveling all over the country on bourbon hunts. Glad you’ve had some luck. You’re getting jack shit in Houston if you show up at 10am.

All valid points, I just think Tari is better right now and has a higher ceiling than Jabari.

They gotta trade him. No idea what that would like or what they’d need to get back. Orlando would be the best fit, but they don’t have any picks left.

The Cavs rotations were bizarre. Is Mobley hurt? He didn’t start and only played 20 minutes. They shouldn’t be buyers at the deadline. Play out the the string because they’re so invested in the present, and blow it up in the offseason.

There’s some spirited debates on Facebook about it. I just can’t with people that get so defensive about something they know deep down is stupid. Have a good sense of humor and make fun of yourself. Instead they’re attempting to justify it with you can’t tell me how to spend my PTO and bourbon community camaraderie bullshit. You haven’t showered or taken a shit indoors in a week sirs. The Brewzle guy camped out for 3 days in Alabama, and the best bottle he purchased was Heaven Hill 90. Not exactly the same thing and he was doing it for his YouTube channel, but that’s 3 days he’ll never get back.

Where at? Looking for a replacement.

I’m thinking they signed the wrong guy to an extension. Hopefully they can work something out.

The draw is going to be critical. New England and Buffalo is never going to work, but it beats the shit out of staying home.

Another sad sack movie with Tatum as the simple, but earnest guy. He’s made the same movie over and over again. Please do something different/challenging or go away.

Chappelle’s special is 75 minutes of him telling sad stories from the past. His fastball is gone.

I enjoyed these 3. Got back to the basics. Friendship and love prevailing against evil.
