    Very good to an elite sourced bourbon.It'd be a steal at $40-$45 a bottle. 

    Just curious what it costs down there? It's about 50 to 55 here in Northern Kentucky.

    I may have been in too much of accumulation mode for a while. Looking to clear out some of the collection.  

    I've got a fair amount of:

    Blantons

    Eagle Rare

    4 roses private barrels (barrel strength)

    Stagg jr

    ECBP

    Weller 12 and Antique

    Several other bottles as well but no unicorns 

    Asking retail and would consider trade (particularly WLW) but I'm really hoping to clear some out. 

    I'm in Kingwood.  PM if you'd like more details.  

     

    Damn I would love some Weller 12 if I was anywhere close to Texas

    What's wrong with Red Baron? They rock. And I've seen worse ticket giveaways. 

    Remember this one? Have a Coke and a Michigan ticket:

    https://www.sbnation.com/2014/9/22/6831037/michigan-will-give-you-2-free-tickets-for-2-cokes

    Coincidentally that was for a game against Minnesota, a game the Gophers won 30-14. 

    Taking on water? Cute pun but it's just Fleck's second year. He just signed the second best class in the B1G West. It was ranked first before Scott Frost was hired at Nebraska. Don't sell him short yet. If he wins, the fans will come. 

    Funny how he seems to have a lot fewer fans since he made the move from WMU to a P5 school. It's not surprising that ISU fans are rooting against him. 

    Yeah, I haven't interacted with a Minnesota fan in probably 10 years living on the east coast, so I really don't care one way or the other. I just think it's hilarious that the fans are so shitty they need to give away tickets with frozen pizza, no offense to row the boat.

    New Riff released their own Bourbon finally. It’s amazing people are hyping up a 4 year old bourbon. 

    Yeah about what you would expect for a 4 year bourbon. Their once a month distillers tour is pretty great though, you get to hang out with the master distiller and get a bunch of pours of basically everything they have going including OKIs.

    Thanks. I know Woodford is pretty close to Buffalo Trace, so I might as well swing by. 

    That's what we did, hit up Buffalo trace and then swung by woodford. We didn't do the tour, we just did tasting and sat outside on the new patio area and had a cocktail. Very cool place and I bet the tour would be good too.

    I'm prepared to write a review on a Woodford Reserve Bath Proof. 

    It's good, as expected for a high proof from Woodford. It's priced too darned high though. I'd say it's a buy in the $75 range, but they tacked another 50 bucks on to MSRP. 

    Has anybody visited the Woodford distillery? Any unique tastings/buys available?

    Went there a month or so ago. Fantastic drive in through farms and horse pastures and grounds are really cool. Nothing was terribly unique about the tastings or buys in the gift shop though. Definitely still worth visiting for the grounds and atmosphere. 

  7. David Montgomery will be a beast this year and could go pro with another year like last year but the O line is still a question mark. He led the nation in forced missed tackles so it would be nice of the line to not let him get hit at the line of scrimmage and make insane moves every play.

    Qb should be a solid, game manager type with a year under his belt. The qb Texas saw last year was talented but a nutcase and got benched and left the team following the game against you. 

    Lose Lazard at receiver but return some young good ones so we will see if they step up. 

    Defense will hopefully be salty again this year as mostly the whole d line returns with 2 of 3 linebackers. Lanning, the qb/lb is gone which will probably hurt some. Safetys are new but both were out of the bowl game and we did fine against a passing attack from Memphis. 

    Im hoping for 8 to 9 wins honestly so as an Iowa state fan that will probably translate to 5 or something. I think Matt Campbell is the real deal though and hope he sticks around for a while.
