A friend brought me back a bottle from Ireland. Shared a few drams with peers at work. Yum!“There’ll be two dates on your tombstone and all your friends will read ’em but all that’s gonna matter is that little dash between ’em.” -Kevin Welch1

A co worker brought back this from Taiwan. He was very generous and shared some pours this afternoon. A unique one for sure, fantastic lingering finish

Playing a bit of catchup. In the last week I finally nabbed a bottle of Eagle Rare, a bottle of MaCallan, and a bottle of Oban.

I guess I got to quit drinking rot gut bourbon and cut back on my cas so I can buy some of these highly Groovy names I read here. No mater what a 5th has a life span of 2 to 3 days in my house. Let me hold back on logging into auctions for 1 week then visit the real liquor store and see what's available. I wish I could find some cool stuff with horses on the cap. My brother in law shared a bottle of that last weekend. We emptied it."Come party with me in Tennessee for my birthday July we can smoke in the Smokey's."1

That is Blantons Nola. Should be about 60 a bottle. Good stuff!

Pretty good, actually.

A couple of unicorns. Tasted the one on the right (pretty dam4ed smooth) and the one on the left gets to come home with me.

Got the weekend off some how. Gonna start in on some of this. It was on clearance. Hope it sips well."Come party with me in Tennessee for my birthday July we can smoke in the Smokey's."3 -
Bulleit is good, but on the rocks is awesome. It brings a very enjoyable sweetness to the front of the palate"Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

I've had a little ol' sample bottle if the same Bulleit and (While on the Vherf,....... this past Thursday? Tuesday?) I sipped it side by side with four roses single barrel in my usual manner (with water) And YES! The frontier bourbon is a definite YES! It's smoother and a little sweet compared to the 4R. Planning to get a big ol' bottle today.1

When I came home my wife was watching some show about how to hack your life, they were trying to make cheap bourbon taste like the good stuff, they fooled about half the people with a few simple additions like this article. Has anyone tried this?

- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke"

It may fudge the taste buds, but the hangover will tell you the truth."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

I recently tried the Ainsley Brae Highland Single Malt that was finished in a Sauternes cask. This was BY FAR the best smelling whiskey I have ever tried. And it was incredibly smooth. I found it at Total Wine, and if anyone has a chance to try it, it's worth every penny (which isn't much at $40). Definitely one of the best whiskeys I've had recently, and the price just made it so much better."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

Got way into bourbon the past several months myself and have grown the collection. Moved to a new house, yes finally a house and not some POS apartment LOL, here is the liquor cabinets... all of the shelving is 3 deep.
EDIT: Apparently I no longer know how to post pics on the new forum layout... SMH

Having gone through a bottle each of Woodford Reserve, Four Roses Small Batch, and Bulleit Frontier Bourbon, I'm taking a break to drink down the bottles of rum that I've accumulated. I'll circle back to Bourborn in a bit, my preferences were Woodford then Four Roses and then Bulleit.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )0

Was lucky enough that last week I was able to herf with Ben Hanks when he was out this direction, and we polished off about the last of his 2014 George T. Stagg at 138.1 proof.... that really is the best bourbon I have ever had wow! I brought my EHT Barrel Proof Uncut Unfiltered as well as some Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Proof OESO 11 year 4 month bottle. Dug into those as well and they rocked, he also hit me with some amazing sticks, hope he liked what I smacked him with too.
