  1. The Kosher Rye Recipe is fantastic. If you’re a Mashbill #2 fan, you’ll love it.
  2. Love the Bourbon Junkies. I’m a patron and can’t wait for the Sagamore Rye pick they did that is hopefully coming in the next couple months.
  3. Jason Callori. I’m a big fan of his channel. I enjoy how he does his reviews. He’s recently been giving Buffalo Trace a hard time for how much they allocate everything and how that drives the secondary market pricing out of control.
  4. Hadn’t played in a Fireball contest in a while, so I hopped in one tonight. Won a Michter’s Toasted Rye for $32. I’ll take that!
  5. The Sam Houston is amazing. It’s an oak bomb on the neck pour, but it’s phenomenal once it opens up. OE7 is very solid as well.
  6. I’m sure Robin, like her ex-husbands, is six feet under.
  7. https://www.bourbonex.com/forums/topic/265/list-of-all-booker-s-batches
  8. Landed a Booker’s Country Ham today at Spec’s for $80. I’ve never had Booker’s before and have always heard that Country Ham was the best batch, so I figured what the hell.
  9. Pretty sure there was a EHTBP drop on Friday. I was in Plano over the weekend and stopped in a Goody Goody on my way into town on Friday afternoon and they said they had gotten some that morning.
  10. Haha no doubt. That chick has friends that are hot as well that get ignored because their friend is a smoke show.
  11. That would be Dickel juice you have there, my friend. MGP comes from Indiana.
  12. I heard it was going to be $200, so I didn’t keep an eye out for when it was going to be released. He only made a Facebook announcement to say it was sold out, but never said when it would drop (like he usually does with his other picks).
  13. Sipping on a Total Wine store pick of Jack Daniels Barrel Proof during my fantasy football draft. Cheers, y’all.
  14. I traded for a Cigar Blend (batch 24) and cracked it open last weekend. It’s faaaaaaantastic, especially with a quality stick.
  15. Haha, I’m pretty lucky. I get the occasional side eye, but she doesn’t give me any shit for my habit.
  16. Add Rare Breed to your list (both the bourbon and the rye)
  17. I found my BT Kosher Rye recipe a few weeks ago during the great Weller Drop of Summer 2020. It was around 11am and I decided to swing by Total Wine on my way home from an appointment. I walk in and find an attendant and asked if he knew if they had any delivery trucks unloaded that day since I was hunting for the rye recipe (I knew that a few other TW stores in town had received theirs that week). The guy tells me the truck hadn’t been unloaded yet, so I turn around and head out. On my way out of the store the guy chases me down and tells me that they just brought the boxes out and they had some rye recipe at the counter. So I head back over to get a bottle, but lo and behold, what are they also putting out? Weller Single Barrel. So I grab the WSB and check out ($56 including tax) and then call my wife to tell her to haul ass over there from work so she could grab the rye recipe (since TW only allows one allocated bottle per person). During the next 20 minutes I’m waiting outside just hoping that none of the flippers walk in and text their buddies that the drop has happened. Luckily she made it in time and she got a bottle of the rye recipe (I think it was like $42). That Weller drop week was glorious for me as I snagged that rye recipe, Weller Single Barrel, Weller 12 and OWA.
  18. I love the Bourbon Junkies. I think they give great reviews and their livestream on Tuesday night is awesome. They also have a Facebook group page you can join. It’s a great community.
  19. I’ve seen a few reviews that say don’t feel bad if you miss out as it’s not great this year.
  20. I’m heading up to Plano this weekend for Labor Day. I’ve never hunted for bourbon up in that area. Any good suggestions?
  21. Yeah, much better chance. I usually Pappy raffles going for about $150 a spot (depending on the bottle being sold), but with only 10 spots you’ve at least got a pretty decent chance. I’m not that desperate to take that kind of risk just for a Pappy, but plenty of others are.
  22. Keep an eye out for Buffalo Trace store picks. The big stores like Total Wine and Twin Liquors do them. They’re about $5 more, but it’s a single barrel pick, so it’s likely to different (and better) than the regular expression.
  23. Turned 40 today, so I need to break out the hitter lineup tonight. Will start with a bit of Rock Hill Farms, and then on to Sam Houston 14, Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend (with an Alec Bradley Tempus Nicaragua stick) and Bardstown Chateau de Laubade. Might have to end with a nightcap of Stagg Jr if I’m not completely hammered by then. Enjoy those drams tonight, fellas.
