  1. I often add a few drops of water to higher proofs, especially 2015 WLW and the hazmat GTS’s. It’s a fascinating evolution to try a sip neat and then along the way as you gradually add drops. The profile changes quite dramatically and you can start picking apart the component flavors. Nothing wrong at all with that.
  2. Sweet Jesus. A late Christmas miracle.
  3. Is it more or less bro if I actually own a Barrett?
  4. Ha. It’s 2011 Handy. Cork broke.
  5. I did trade for quite a bit, but I’d guess you are right if I tallied it.
  6. Sure. It’s called secondary market.
  7. Yeah, some I’ve had for over a decade, Pappy as well. Used o walk in to a store and it was on the shelves.
  8. Save some BTAC for the rest of us, hoarder. Plenty out there for you to grab too.
  9. I’m dry this month for that reason. Liver reboot.
  10. Reserves:
  11. “Open bottle” cabinet
  12. Got the hybrid. Bak roll x2. Rolls up so no window obstruction, and no box in the bed taking up space. Love it.
  13. If you have a problem Taco man, then I am clinical.
  14. This (last) year’s FRSmbLe may be in contention for best bourbon of 2019
  15. If Fox is good enough for Ford, then it’s good enough for me.
  16. NYE is set
  17. Best offer I got was in SA at Cavenders. Houston market wouldn’t budge (it’s all Gulf States Toyota so they source the same inventory among dealers/swap a lot and have the same standard “dealer marketing costs” built in to the price) when I got mine a couple years back. Not sure if supply/demand fundamentals have improved. That said, Cavenders had one on the lot and it was nearing model year close out so they cut me a deal.
  18. And looking sick my friend!
  19. I don’t love the flipper market, but I’ll be damned if the secondary market isn’t incredibly useful for finding a 2009 George T Stagg
  20. Texas has everything else. Nobody’s perfect.
  21. Most bourbon is 33-50% water. Just drink lots of it.
  22. And Merry Bourbon everyone!
  23. Bill, if you can get your hands on the BTAC ER17, it was increased to 101 proof last year and all years going forward. Realize it’s not exactly what you meant, but it, while rare and pricey, will at least give you a glimpse into what a high proof ER can be.
  24. While Sazerac owns 1792, it isn’t a BT product. Different distillery and oversight. On Blantons, Sazerac can’t. They don’t own it.
  25. Sweet wheat man. Sweet wheat.
