Is Willett a sought after bourbon in other parts of the country? It was not available here until recently. People wanted it here because we couldn't get it. Just curious.

Baby momma got me this for our 27th anniversary. I really am a trophy husband."I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

I really didn't get her anything. We went to Tampa for the weekend and went to a hockey game and the casino.

My second night drinking Angel's Envy. I find it to have more of a bite than most Bourbons I've had. It may grow on me but it's taking some getting used to.

I saw $40-45 in Jackson TN a couple years ago.

I went back to the place that has the Blantons deal occasionally when they have it in stock. You buy Blantons or another premium Buffalo trace product and they force you to buy a $20 worth of cheaper Buffalo trace product together to get the $75 Blantons price. So I got the Eagle rare combined with the benchmark old #8. I didn’t overthink it too much. The guy behind the counter said the benchmark was the same as the green label buffalo trace only it was it was aged four years instead of six. maybe it won’t suck. the Glenlivet 12 double oak is in my opinion a decent every day scotch. I got 1 full Liter for $66.99 before tax.9 -

Most of the stuff on the bottom shelf is made by a label on the top shelf. With a company like Buffalo Trace that likes to allocate so many things, a lot of the lower tiered stuff is simply runoff after they’ve filled their bottling quota of the primary label.

I didn’t even notice this sticker until I was putting it away. I suppose the store owner and friends had some fun touring the distillery and drinking from a particular barrel and all that jazz. You younger kids might not recognize that phrase “all that jazz”. Look it up. While you’re at it you should look up “razzle dazzle” because I think I could have used either antique phrase to make the same point.

I ran out of sipping whiskey. After grocery shopping on the way home today I was not in the mood to make a trip to the liquor store. I picked up some mango flavored lemonade to mix with Crown Royal Apple. It's very weird but drinkable.

Crown Royal Apple always reminds me of @raidermike. It was his favorite. He gave me some Crown Royal Apple and it did not pair well with cigars. It was an abomination in my opinion.

First time I’ve seen this. Lower shelf offering from Tennessee’s Nearest Green Distillery (makers of Uncle Nearest) just down the road from here. Just $29.99 before tax. Price is not representative of value. It’s better than that. If you liked Uncle Nearest, get yourself some Nearest Green.6 -

Head distiller that taught jack Daniel the tradecraft. Learned about him during the Jack Daniel tour in Tennessee.

Some of you know about Ray's... I just got back from there with this Gran Coronel - Extra Anejo Tequila, and even tho' it's not bourbon or whiskey, we'll just pretend it is.
