If Stagg Jr is that readily available I am planning a move. Good choice. Also, consider an OF barrel select or any of the Barrel Bourbons that fall under your limit. I’m also a big fan of Breckinridge’s Distiller’s proof, which should be easy to find in Colorado but isn’t well known.
My last year at State was Eddie’s first year back. After suffering through the mediocrity of Leonard Hamilton’s teams it was night and day. Especially for a sports fan base starved for wins ever since Hart Lee Dykes rolled over on the football team and nearly made OSU the second death penalty case. He took us to the Sweet Sixteen that first year - amazing run. Started the best run in OSU history since Henry Iba was on the sidelines.
TW prioritizes stock at their stores based on volume/size. Also depends on who is the buyer for the particular store. Im fortunate that the one nearest me is high volume and has a good buyer. I’ve been told at one of the smaller stores they will never get hard to find stuff much less allocated bottles because they don’t have enough sales volume.
Not unique to Dell. One of the best services our firm offers as part of our healthcare benefits is a lawyer to fight medical facility charges. I didn’t appreciate until I had an ER visit and follow-up surgery about 2 years ago. The lawyer has saved me about $20k, and they are still, 2 years later, fighting with Travis County EMS over what an ambulance ride should cost. Regular Joe walking into a hospital is screwed.
You convinced me to try it, even though I’m not a fan of standard Maker’s. Don’t dislike, just there’s plenty out there at that price I like better. But the barrel select is damn tasty.
Found a bottle of Weller Antique today. And yes, I would have bought 48 if they’d let me. First bottle I’ve ever found a MSRP. Hell, first bottle I’ve ever bought period.
Was in Lockhart this week and was steered by the locals to Blacks. Can’t speak to the decline of the other joints but can second Black’s still holding up.
I had that very discussion with John at Interstellar last time I was there. He offered me the outside cut which led to an extended discussion on the idiocy of some cutters and the customers that think that’s good brisket.
First trip to Snow’s. My fault for waiting so long. Every bit as good as advertised. Normally wouldn’t get the pork shoulder, but bought on a recommendation - best thing on the plate, and that’s saying something.
Tecovas: complained about a minor blemish on a pair of Boots and had a replacement in hand before I’d even sent the first pair back. But that was within 1 day of delivery. Have no idea what that discussion looks like 6 months later.
The multi-billion I-35 funding dedicated today requires CAMPO to reprioritize $600 million of already allocated funding from other local projects to I-35. That money most likely will come from loop 360 and RM 620.
Some decent buys at dollar days. Good price on Whistle Pig 10, a Rabbit Hole that I wouldn’t pay full freight for but wanted to try. Pikesville Rye hyped, but good. And cheap Buffalo Trace is never a bad thing.
