  1. Grabbed a bottle of JD SiB BS on my business trip. My second bottle and just as good as I remembered it. Enjoy it all day for around $53
  2. Interesting. Have always struggled with Saz products that share the same mashbill. I often mix them up in a blind given they are all so damn similar. I know Blantons is aged in a metal clad warehouse which is supposed to create more extreme temperature variation. And yet it still tastes like all the rest. And aside from very slightly different proofs, three of them are almost indistinguishable. BT Mashbill #2; Single Barrels - Elmer T Lee (90 pf), Blantons (93 pf), Rock Hill Farms (100 pf) Blend - Hancock’s Reserve (88.9 pf), Ancient Age (80 pf) if you ever want a challenge, do these all blind. Then do it again. Results may vary.
  3. Ahhh. He needs to let me try it before I open mine and regret it.

  5. The only thing that changed, and it’s the single biggest change, is that aged stocks of MGP disappeared. So every reputation of every NDP sourcing MGP changed with that change. Smooth Ambler isn’t bottling the old stuff either. Because they have no more. He’s trying to keep his business humming on a name / history, without the product.
  6. Cheers gents! Hope everyone enjoys this as much as we have. Happy 4th!
  7. I do not want to out anyone, so would Messers Pace, Ramsey and Krenzke please shoot me a DM to get these settled? many thanks
  8. My notes on it: Dark cherry and some plum with meaningful oak influence and a cherry pipe tobacco finish that lingers on and on. Killer finish. It’s off profile and oddly reminiscent of 03/04 GTS funk
  9. Official “In” Post - Pickled Liver Society Charity Barrel #385 7 year MGP - 123.92 proof (second highest of this 3XX run but drinks much lower).

Will do my absolute best to accommodate everyone. Please fill out the google doc attached.

  10. OceanGate co-founder and now only live founder, Guillermo Sohnlein, commented “it’s a sad day to lose someone so close to you, but as the now sole surviving founder and 100% owner of this company, we will learn from his mistakes” as he threw what appeared to be four double AA batteries into a nearby trash can.
  11. “Bluetooth connection lost”. “Unable to pair Logitech controller”
  12. Which design flaw number is building a semisubmersible without a sonar beacon? Is that #3,176?
  13. Wonder if billionaire and hundred millionaire would trade their entire net worth to be saved. You live. But you live poor.
  14. In the spirit of not taking this too seriously… My Yeti is seriously turning Cardinal red. Must be the lights.
  15. This. I said out on subsequent. It’s actually an ejection.
  16. Delayed dead ball. Warning issued. Subsequent infraction is an out.
  17. That’s actually completely incorrect. That isn’t the rule.
  18. Just please stop with the butthurt and hyperbole. This was a fantastic run defined by out punching our weight. It isn’t sunshine pumping like aggy. It’s reality. Tough loss. Great season. Boys should be proud they fought this hard and made it this far hamstrung.
  19. Yep. We lost. Sucks. But that pop fly didn’t cost us the game in isolation. Left tons on base. Just unfortunate to lose that way
  20. Home field advantage is real. Lights be what they are. It’s an advantage if you play them regularly. Sucks.
  21. Lmao at “batch proof” - whatever the hell that means.
  22. Not sure where you’ll find one given they were only distributed in KY. But figure 80-100 per.
  23. I have. In fact, had the flight at OF in Louisville row of OFBB, PC and 117. 117 was the standout. There is almost no equal to King of Kentucky. Folks that try it become spoiled for life. I’m one of them. I went all in. It’s my top 3 pours all time. Made it so much more enjoyable when it was 800-1000.
  24. If you want to ever see what Brown Forman can do in its extreme heat cycle form, pick up a King of Kentucky. Any year. Any bottle. And it will cement for you what making pinnacle bourbon looks like. And agree outside that, they make a damn fine shelf product for regular consumption.
