  1. Yep, Green River has good juice. Their $35 high rye and wheated bourbons are gonna move once the word trickles out.
  2. I have no idea of the particulars, but the Smoke Wagon case study is a fascinating one. As everyone has said, it's readily available with cases stacked up at Spec's. I walked into a Total Wine the other day, and they had a "Limit 1" and sold out shelf of SW UU. So the Total Wine customers aren't fully aware of the SW glut at Spec's. I wonder if Chepenik overextended on his purchase of MGP barrels and now has too much juice. I also think they have too many SKUs now and it's had a negative affect on buyers. A couple of years ago it was Small Batch and Uncut/Unfiltered. Pretty easy decision if you found it on the shelf. Now we've added Uncut the Younger (this is dumb), their cheaper $30 product with different themed bottles, and 3 different ryes. What used to be an easy decision has become complicated.
  3. Yeah, don't think 13th Colony has 10 year old product yet. I saw somewhere that the 9 year Kentucky is from Jim Beam. Maybe Knob Creek?
  4. This deal looks worse everyday that goes by. LIV had already been considering an expansion to 14 teams. Doing so for 2024 would be a way to make whole some of the embittered players who turned down mega-offers. Says one LIV exec, “Now we can finally get Hideki [Matsuyama] and Jon Rahm. I would say every big name on the PGA Tour will get an offer. Except Rory. Nobody wants that little bitch on their team.”
  5. Yep, if Monahan/PGA Tour agreed to be funded by the Saudis when they originally came to them years ago, this wouldn't be that big of a story and would have blown over quickly.
  6. LIV and LIV golfers/bots/bootlickers trying to shove team concept down our throats for last couple of years has been so fucking annoying. Like everyone has said, Ryder Cup/President's Cup/etc. are awesome. But 99% of golf fans DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK about teams in regular golf tournaments. It is the STUPIDEST fucking idea. And they don't stop trying to convince people. At this point it feels like gaslighting.
  7. Yasir Al-Rumayyan will the the CHAIRMAN of the new golf entity.
  8. Monahan doesn’t believe in the team format. He just doesn’t know how this is all going to unfold yet. We’re gonna see a bunch of rah rah bullshit from company men in the golf world and media shortly. But it looks like the Saudis basically bought the PGA Tour. I hope that Monahan doesn’t survive this and gets ousted ASAP. The game and tour will live on, but not sure the stink will ever go away. This sucks.
  9. Well, the point was to play 54 holes, 4 man teams, have fewer tournaments, and "grow the game" by playing all over the world. I'm all for them scrapping it though.
  10. We'll see. PIF owns LIV, so LIV's exclusion from the partnership language seems meaningless.
  11. Monahan is a complete piece of shit. Feel terrible for the players that publicly defended and stayed with the PGA.
  12. How are people not tired of tweets like this? Engagement farming blue MAGA bullshit.
  13. Not sure if this is even available anymore, but grab if you see it. Reviews are amazing. Around 135 proof I believe.
  14. Anyone had Rebecca Creek bottles that are their own distillate (not MGP)? If so, any of them good?
  15. I was stuck in traffic and listened to the Twitter Desantis interview for 5 minutes. I think he matter of factly rattled off 4-5 acronyms, only one of which I actually knew (CRT). Looks like this will be an "extremely online" candidacy almost solely focused on the culture war.
  16. Signing Harden would be a huge mistake. Hopefully most of this smoke is coming from his camp. I can't imagine Udoka actually wants to add him as a major piece. This franchise needs a clean restart. Keep this young nucleus together for a year and see what Ime can get out of them. Then make some major moves if necessary in 2024.
  17. Maybe it's wishcasting, but I definitely agree with those that think DeSantis will be laughably exposed in the limelight of running for President. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of his political career.
