    Since we’re doing Rye, time to find out if this year’s PHC 10 yr Rye is really baby Booker’s Rye.

    Normally I would say don’t listen to you about MGP, but RC16 is definitely better than than the Remus 14 or 15 from the past two years. I haven’t tried the Remus this year and probably won’t because I went deep on RC16 backups.

    Come on now, that’s not accurate. Texas is a challenging market to find the rare items, but there’s also insane selection at many of the smaller stores relative to other states. Other than mid range Heaven Hill products like ECBP/Toasted and McKenna along with Eagle Rare it’s not like you’re finding retail rare bourbon everywhere in CA.

    California is crazy. Roughly secondary prices, but what a pile of Blanton’s.
  5. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    This is pretty decent. Maybe not back to 2018 levels of excellence, but probably worth the $90 to try if you like an oaky palate with some fruit and caramel notes. It definitely avoids the fake age and wet wood nose aspects of some double barreled products.

    I’ll do four OF King Ranch.
  7. I would cancel any plans I had that day on vacation to camp on the beach with a bucket of Pacificos to watch this go down.

    Raising a glass to Grinch’s firing.

    Eric Gentry, he’s the one announcers love to talk about having a 7’6ā€ wingspan while somebody’s dropping 40+ on SC.
  10. Slow going with one very mediocre 7 point and a bunch of does this morning. Now I’m roasting my ass off in shorts in a blind like it’s bow season. Nice views, tho.

    Toasted is straight garbage, nowhere near as good as basic 94 pf Elijah Craig. It has a bad wet oak/soggy cardboard nose and palate that I just can’t get down with. ECBP is good all the time and I especially love it in cocktails. The latest C923 is good, but I was hoping for great on the 13.5 years age statement.
  12. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Time to crack this 13.5 yr Elijah Craig BP tonight. I haven’t had one open in a minute and reviews haven’t been good.
  13. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    I would like to try their Blanton’s, the Eagle Rare was very good. Funny on the Parker’s this late while the 10 year rye is coming out.
  14. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Holy balls, I’d forgotten how good this Alamo City Widow Jane single barrel was. It’s what EH Taylor single barrel wants to be when it grows up.
  15. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Much of the best rye and bourbon is made in big factories. Also, MGP is great so no need to feel bad for liking Bulleit rye. Maybe mix in some Pikesville if you want to try Kentucky Rye from a big factory or the Jack Daniel’s rye.
  16. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    I have a pre-batch open and it’s just not old enough to get the tobacco and leather notes I like in MGP. Also have a spare if you want it.
  17. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Killing a Full Proof while watching USC (we’re back) halfass beat San Jose State. It was very good from start to finish and I’ll probably open either a Deb’s or Whiskey Cake pick next. This one is a staple I love having around.
  18. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    That stuff is gross, maybe the worst toasted I’ve ever had. And who’s looking for Weller SR and not finding it?
  19. Yep, halibut. Biggest one in that pic is 20 lb which isn’t big, but acceptable. We only fished halibut one day and the weather wasn’t great so I spent way too much time running the anchor winch trying to land on the spots while getting blown around.
  20. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    I’d go $200 on one if you generally like Turkey, barrel proof and older and don’t mind a relatively oaky, less sweet profile. It’s really good and I get the feeling it’s going to be pretty easy to find in the next couple of years.
  21. Some photos of the North River up in Alaska. It’s had some minor issues like a fan mount breaking off the roof, house batteries not charging, electronics learning curves and trying to find every switch and valve, but we are burning lots of gas and catching lots of fish. The 425 XTOs are the real deal and there’s nothing like pulling away from pretty much anything on the water up her.
  22. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    63* in Alaska, time to pop a nice barrel proof.
  23. Ha, yep.
  24. Sea trial went pretty well other than some cavitation on the kicker where they had to add 5ā€ to the shaft (that’s what she said) to get down further below the chine flat. I’m in love with this electronics package and the 425s pushed it to 53 mph with 1100 rpm remaining to redline until after break-in is done. It cruised at 32-33 mph and 1.7 MPG with is humorously way better than these boats do with Yamaha 300s. The dealer fixed a few small issues overnight, dropped at the port in Seattle and it’s now on a slow barge ride up to Alaska.
  25. Yes, Helmaster EX at both steering stations which will also allow the mains to be used with the chart plotter autopilot functions. I’m a little bitter that I’m not getting the new 450s, but knowing Yamaha it would be a two year wait to get them.
