Vintage Chelsea D there. We should charge Zouma for a ticket if he’s just going to stand there and watch the buildup.

Sarcasm? Timo’s composure is a sight for sore eyes. Assassin.

Well if you’re looking to rehome that bottle, I’m happy to be of assistance. [emoji6]

Do you like any of their other stuff? I tried some of the first batch last night and really liked it. It’s unmistakably a GB whiskey, but I’ve really come around on their flavor profile.

EHT was my number one, and was in nearly everyone's top 3. I don't think my post was clear. My personal order of preference went EHTBP, Smoke Wagon, Barrell, WFP, Owl, and Remus.

Speaking of Smoke Wagon, we blind tasted these 6 bottles last night: Remus Volstead 14 Barrell Bourbon 15 Smoke Wagon Private Barrel (Spec's) Weller Full Proof Kentucky Owl Wise Man EHT Barrel Proof I ranked them 6, 3, 2, 4, 5, 1. The Smoke Wagon was in everyone's top 2-3, which is saying something given what we had on the table. It's something I will always try to have in my collection at this point.

So bill, what was your verdict on the SH14? I know you were a bit dubious that it would be worth picking up. I take it you’re a fan?

I’ll come take those off your hands for you. I’ll even pitch in a couple bottles of 101 while I’m at it.

Did anyone score one the OF barrel strength store picks yet? Deb’s released theirs as part of another bundle last weekend, but I didn’t take the bait as there are some red flags on that one for me.

Yeah, seems right. Lets face it, any 2019 BTAC left is in the hands of a flipper or a price gouging retailer. No harm to be done talking up Rare Breed at the expense of a highly sought after product that is effectively non-existent.

I’m not buying the Urban rumor until I hear it from LotusHorn.

Definitely this. I picked up the Cask Strength version and was utterly confused by my first pour. The second pour when much better, as I knew what to expect. It’s difficult to think of this one as a Rye but it’s pretty good at the same time.

My bad, my bad. I have not bought a bottle in a hot minute so I had my facts wrong.

Why do people still refer to it as Eagle Rare 10 when the age statement was dropped years ago. Aren’t all indications that it’s younger than 10 years now?

I'd happily pick up any of the three 150 releases if I somehow managed to score them at retail. I don't see any scenario where that happens, and have already written off ever getting to try them.

I don’t get fired up any more because it was clear people didn’t want to hear that shit here. Looks like that hasn’t changed any. Look, we were highly suspect on D last year, made one legit D signing in Chillwell, brought in a band aid of sorts in Silva, and scrambled to find a non-Kepa keeper that wasn’t a pipe dream. Nothing that has happened thus far is remotely surprising. We’ll get somewhat better as Chillwell gets fit/acclimated and Mendy (hopefully) gets goalkeeping back to a respectable level. The ceiling of this team remains 3rd or 4th and the floor is certainly somewhere south of another UCL qualification. There will be moments of brilliance and moments of frustration. Hopefully we get more of the former and less of the latter this year than last. Beyond that, there isn’t much mystery or intrigue to be found with this year’s squad. I’d love to hope that Mo is right and this is just part of the process that Frank is leading to rebuild the team in a specific way. Nothing I’ve seen from Roman suggests he has that kind of patience, but I guess there is a first time for everything. That said, even if I choose to accept that the above is indeed happening, the way we managed this transfer window this year is always going to feel weird to me. I don’t think we even flirted with a CB that is first team material, which isn’t exactly a high bar at the moment.

A buddy of mine has a bottle. I tried a pour a little over a week ago, but it was in a social setting and not one where I was drinking it with any sort of critical thought. It was good, but I would like to gave another crack at it and compare it next to the A120 bottle I have.

Did someone say Garrison Brothers? Picked this guy up this morning. I’ve only poured the neck so far, but I loved it.

So buying a bunch of offensive players didn’t make our defense better? Weird.
