  • I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

Just opened and tried my Four Roses SB, and it was fantastic.

I like bourbon and all, but not typically at noon on a Wednesday.

Show some respect. Did you not see his profile picture? He's obviously Augie's ghost.

Is this Whistle Pig worth a buy? Don’t know what they’re charging but google says it should be $50-$75.

Thats a good bottle.  The pig, not the roc.

I don’t want to get anyone too excited but I’m pretty sure I just spotted Waldo.

He’s just hanging out to the right of the bottle of roc. Jeez. You’re supposed to find him for yourself. 

I'm sure most of you in Houston have received the bad news from your local Spec's guy. 

There's not much to say other than I hope they they're skimming on their taxes and the Feds/TABC shut them down. 

The flavored whiskey rack keeps getting longer and longer. Those people have no shame.

Shoot me an pm if the good stuff starts popping up at Debs and Twins in Austin. I might to make bi-monthly runs.

Call Brittney and let me know if she's accepting offerings. 

The place in Northwest Austin that must not be named has some special Barrel Bourbon releases, True Blue and IW Harper 15, if any is interested.

I need more IW Harper 15 for good drinking/decanting purposes, but I'm not driving up there for it. 

It's been there a while. Should be fine. They'll probably pull some for you if you call ahead.

Is this where this goes?

From last night when I was getting the steaks started.

It’s lottery season!

From breaking bourbon:

While it is the lowest proof George T. Stagg ever produced (Stagg is typically over 130 proof and often over 140 proof), it is still a high proof bourbon relatively speaking at 124.9 proof. What’s interesting is the lack of a mouth-sweltering proof, something I typically enjoy about George T. Stagg, allows the depth of flavors to really come through without a mask of heat. It reminds me a little of the 2013 release, which clocked in at 128.2 proof, however 2018’s is a more characteristic George T. Stagg flavor profile than 2013 was. Admittedly, those seeking a mouth-scorcher may be disappointed, but those who enjoy George T. Stagg and are open to a more subtle delivery of flavor will find this year’s release tremendously enjoyable.

Leftovers and Eagle Rare tonight gentlemen. It is a bye week. 

Here's to LSU losing somehow. 

Eagle Rare the last 2 nights for me. So good

Under appreciated as a daily drinker. I hope they never take the age statement off it.

Just found some here for the first time in a long time.

Tried the Knob Creek store pick. It had good flavor but a little too hot for my taste. Went back to the Eagle Rare. 

Went for the ER from peer pressure.  It’s good but I want to try a store pick.

IW15? The next time I see it on the shelf I will pick you some up. 

Total Wine South had plenty last time I was there.

It’s pretty good, but not great. Certainly smooth and complex for a lower proof bourbon. The bottle is the best. Awesome decanter after a wash. 

first time having, not too bad

It's about the best thing i can find up here right now.

The bourbon craze is really pissing me off. I can't find ANYTHING fun these days. Haven't seen Eagle Rare on the shelves in months, no EH Taylor Single Barrel, and certainly no chance of getting something like Blantons or W12. I'm also not interested in spending $200 for Kentucky Owl or the like ... 

Let me know what is tough to find in TX and I can reciprocate. For some reason I never see that bottle in chicago

Let it breathe for a while and it opens up.  When I first opened mine I didn't like it at all.

 

Going to be in Huntsville, Alabama next week is it worth the 30 minute drive  up to Tennessee to look for Bourbon???  Any chance of finding anything worthwhile in Alabama?  

Rearranged the bar earlier and I’m down to 10 different bourbons, 12 bottles total in different amounts from unopened to almost gone.

Four Roses Single Barrel Store Pick
Weller Special Reserve (2)
Old Weller Antique (2)
Weller 12 Year
Fiddler Heartwood
Black Maple Hill (the new stuff)
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year
Blanton’s
Blanton’s Gold
Eagle Rare

And a Bulleit and Midwinter Night’s Dram in the rye column.

And I wouldn’t have most of them if I could still find Weller 12.

Tattoos, boiled peanuts, Tide fans if you're into that kind of stuff.

I’m afraid to organize my cabinet. I don’t want to know how many bottles I’m at.

Shit. Mine has 1 or 2 bottles in it at any time. When they get drank, they get replaced.
