  1. I thought it was a fairly good episode. Also wanted to add, that Aidy Bryant’s Old Navy commercial is maybe the worst commercial on TV
  2. Why is the Marsh closed ?
  3. So you guys put cheese on your carne guisada?? I have never considered that, and I am white and put cheese on everything. I will give it a try before knocking it
  4. If you did the SA Vets / Harlandale game, I know some mommas that would like to have a word with you…… [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] We had five touchdowns called back.
  5. Waded POC yesterday evening. Bait was all tight to the shore. Popped a couple of solid trout. Largest was 24 1/2 “ Was planning to flounder but the lightening storms blowing in said otherwise.
  6. What's the Most Expensive Bottle of Bourbon? From extra-rare Pappy to a bottle dubbed "the best bourbon you'll never drink," these are the most expensive bottles of Kentucky's finest in the land. Source: https://www.gearpatrol.com/ BY WILL PRICE September 28, 2021 Bourbon whiskey's reputation as the everyman's drink is well-earned, but there's still plenty of high-end hooch out there. Whether it's age, provenance, rarity or a tornado tearing open a distillery, bourbon collectors of the last decade have driven prices through the roof (more on the tornado later). Historically, it was scotch whisky that attracted the type of person willing to spend thousands of dollars on a single bottle. Today, there are bourbons valued in the tens of thousands, and prices are only rising as the spirit's popularity grows. Excluding extreme vintage and historical bottles sold at auction, our collection of the most expensive bourbon you can buy begins above the Pappy 23-Year Line - or just about $3,500 a bottle. A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 Year Old Price: $3,500 - $4,500 Released: Distilled in the spring of 1974, aged or 16 years, then kept on ice until its release in . What's so special about it? A weird whiskey with a confusing history, A.H. Hirsch Reserve (both gold foil- and blue wax-topped bottles) is one of the most surprising high-value bourbons out there. Its relevance and cost is due in part to ties one Julian Van Winkle, who bottled in the brand in the '80s, and the quality of the spirit. But many attribute its ballooned value to the early-Internet bourbon geeks. The whiskey's provenance and means is the subject of a book by longtime whiskey writer and Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer Chuck Cowdery called The Best Bourbon You'll Never Drink. Michter's 25 Years Old Price: $5,000 - $7,500 Released: No set schedule. What's so special about it? Michter's brand history is up there for the richest in the bourbon business. The provenance of the whiskey inside the 25-year-old expression is unknown, as are the mashbill and release schedule. The distillery releases bottles when and only when a barrel of sufficient age meets their criteria (also unknown). Given only three expression have been released since 2008, and each release sees a couple hundred bottles hit shelves (the metaphorical shelf; most will sell privately or in backroom deals), it is highly sought after in the collecting community. Double Eagle Very Rare Price: $6,000 - $8,000 Released: First in 2019, annually since. What's so special about it? At 10 years old and a buttery smooth 90 proof, Buffalo Trace Distillery's standard Eagle Rare offering remains one of the best values in whiskey. Double Eagle Very Rare - a strange if not fitting name - is aged for 20 years and far, far more rare. It also comes in an enormous silver box, and is bottled in a decanter made of pure crystal. Only 200 to 400 bottles are released a year. O.F.C. Vintages Price: $3,000 - $10,000 Released: Intermittently. What's so special about it? Early releases were extremely limited and were not so much "releases" as they were Buffalo Trace charity bombs. The distillery gifted and auctioned bottles to non-profits, raising north of $1 million in the process. More recent releases have been made available to the public, but given the age of some of the bourbons released in the collection - some north of 30 years old - they will always be unobtainable to most whiskey drinkers. The name O.F.C. is an abbreviation of Old Fire Copper, which is what the distillery that would eventually become Buffalo Trace was called in the middle of the 19th century. E.H. Taylor, Jr. Warehouse C Tornado Surviving Price: $10,000 - $14,000 Released: 2011. What's so special about it? All E.H. Taylor limited releases are expensive and hard to find, but two bottles are far more valuable than the others. Tornado Surviving bourbon got its name after a storm tore Buffalo Trace's historic Warehouse C to shreds back in 2006. Ninety-three barrels were exposed to open Kentucky weather for months while repairs were made to the building, and those barrels were married together, bottled and sold in 2011. The whiskey inside is the stuff of legends. The Last Drop (Buffalo Trace, 1980) Price: $10,000 - $15,000 Released: 2020. What's so special about it? Less than 250 bottles available worldwide, the 40-year-old whiskey (20 years in the barrel, 20 patiently waiting in steel tanks) is a time capsule. The whiskey was distilled at George T. Stagg Distillery by Gary Gayheart, the teacher of Buffalo Trace Distillery's Harlen Wheatley. The Stagg distillery was renamed Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1999. The whiskeys from this release show us that exceptional bourbon was made even when the market for it was not there. Willett Family Estate Single Barrels Price: $1,000 - $20,000 Released: Intermittently. What's so special about it? Willett has a long history in bourbon, and its Family Estate single barrels are among the most coveted prizes in whiskeydom. They're all sourced barrels bought up from other distilleries and they vary dramatically in proof, age and price. Though there are exceptions, typically the older the Willett the higher the price, and some of the 20-plus-year-old bottlings have sold for more than $20,000 a pop. E.H. Taylor, Jr. Old Fashioned Sour Mash Price: $17,000 - $20,000 Released: 2011. What's so special about it? The first E.H. Taylor limited release is the most valuable by some distance. The whiskey was made using the eponymous "old-fashioned sour mash" technique used by the brand's namesake, Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr., in the late 19th century. The whiskey inside was distilled in 2002 and matured for 9 years before being bottled and hitting shelves in 2011. Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Years Old Price: $20,000 - $35,000 Released: 2017. What's so special about it? A super-rare, one-off release within the most famous collection of bourbon the world over that was made at a historic (and shuttered) distillery. Distilled and barreled in 1989 at the famed Stitzel-Weller plant, Pappy 25-year was moved out of barrels and into steel tanks for a few years before bottling to prevent over-oaking the whiskey. Only 710 bottles were made.
  7. PSA that if you got your CCA Academy Coupons on the back of that Deer Hunting Guide, they expire on 9/30. The $10 one has no minimum, so at the very least go get you a new lure for free. I signed all the kids up for Star Tournament this year and so I have five booklets sitting here. Good timing for me. If anyone is planning on spending $100 at Academy online this week, message me and I will send you one of these online codes for $20 off.
  8. well shit. I had been paying just enough attention to be excited for this and not enough attention to realize that it wasn't an HBO series. Guess we will finally use up our Alama Drafthouse gift card soon. I need to google some type of graphic for the wife on who is who in The Sopranos world so that she will only ask me 20 questions during the movie and not 50.
  9. I am not a recruiting expert but being 3rd in the nation on Sept 21st doesn’t mean shit to me. Zero point zero.
  10. I refuse to go past I-10 on 1604 or 410.
  11. I live in San Antonio
  12. Stuffed flounder (that I gigged last month) and some garlic butter shrimp (shrimp came off a Port Lavaca shrimp boat).
  13. Sorry for making you wait.
  14. The key lime cookies were tasty.
  15. For the most part, the players this season have been pretty forward thinking in regards to their weekly strategy for who goes up and all the contingency plans needed in regards to POV options. Right up until Azah’s HOH. She royally fucked up.
  16. I know which game you are doing (they are both in our district) and I am really curious to see how the South of Austin team really looks. We didn't get to play them last year due to COVID and it is my opinion that their first three games have been against ZERO competition. They will probably steamroll the SA team this week but I look forward to our game with them in a couple of weeks. We play my alma mater this week, so that should be fun.
  17. A double meat Whataburger Jr. Ahhh ha ha ha.
  18. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough seltzer’s in the RV …… I was wrong. Are you using a Polaroid to take pictures ??
  19. Our HS coach thought the same thing right up until point when the other team blocked a kick and our QB / holder grabbed the ball out of the air and the entire defense hammered him and sprained his ankle, an injury that lingered all season. It is not a good idea. Put a back QB in there
  20. In my mind, it would better to be up this week with your non Cookout partner than next week. This week, if the non cookout nominee wins POV, at least there is someone else to put up. (Claire). Next week of the last remaining non cookout member wins POV, that means two cookout members are going up and one for sure going home.
  21. We watched four episodes last night. It is exactly what you think it is. Three hot early 20’s chicks are at a resort with 24 guys. 12 are “good guys” and 12 are “Fuck Boys”. It is unknown who is who. Typical dating show with dates , challenges and eliminations except it sounds like if the fuck boys are picked at the end they win money. The girls are supposed to be weeding them out but they suck at that because they all want to be dating the fuck boys. If you like trash tv, it is a decent show. The brunette is hot as fuck and is pretty funny. Nikki Glaser is the host and since it is on HBO has some freedom to throw in some rated R jabs at the dudes.

    Fuck, Courtney’s body is just stellar
  23. I have a female co-worker just text and said it was hilarious. We will probably check it out.
