Thanks for the tour Scott. Hey, you two are looking good. Hy Vee here in town had a tasty barrel pick a month or so ago.

The wife makes me look better!

A fire and a dram of Jack Daniels Triple Mash

Damn....I have some back-reading to do now....

Getting my A100 ready for its 6-monthly 'road safety test' tomorrow morning.......lined up my Lockdown Rum bottles. The only one I didn't drink was the Canadian Club....my son had that one. One of my electrical suppliers Reps distils his own hooch, and I said I'd get some empties for him. Not sure how many he wants to fill for me....

Seems appropriate somehow ....

I spy with my little eye, a drink left in bottle number 1.

I have a Weller FP, EH Taylor, and Blanton's on the shelf. I have tasted various Pappy pours. They aren't bad but not worth the price. I would like a bottle for my collection but I wouldn't want to pay much more than retail for it. MSRP starts out at around $50. Secondary market may be in the thousands. Crazy.

Appleton Estate was a favorite while vacationing in Jamaica years ago...

We know the manager at both places. It wasn't free but it wasn't list price. He hooked us up. We like to splurge on good food and drinks when we visit.

The Pappy isn't worth it. The rest just depends. I usually have an assortment of Weller and EH Taylor which are our favorites. I even have a few bottles of George T Stagg and Elmer T Lee. Buffalo Trace brands are our favorite.

Mike, I was down in your area tonight. Daughter s house baby sitting and eating O. P. Pizza
She lives just south of ridgeway

 

[threewood]

And for tonight after a week at the in-laws...

 

[toolmanmike]

Cheers! I stayed home with a cold or RSV or what ever and the wife went to a play (boring) I got into some bottles to cure my ills. Forst some Old Charter. Smooth and thin but a great starter. Then onto Rebel 100. A little more body and depth of flavor. Then onto a Knob Creek single barrel. It's a barrel pick my Facebook group and another local bourbon group picked. It's 120 proof and a more bold and flavorful. It must be working because I quit coughing. Ya, I took my shots and am getting cured!

 

[Scott Engelhardt]

Feel better Mike!

 

[toolmanmike]

Feel better Mike!

Hope it goes away soon. I cancelled going to the Bourbon fest at Starks in Prairie Du Chien today because of this stuff. I am surprised how good I feel after a few samples of hooch! I should have started this earlier.

 

[toolmanmike]

It has been a while since I was here. Time to open up the bar.
What's in your glass tonight?
I have The Glen Brothers. The same mash bill but different barrels and ages. Both different but both quite tasty.

I must say North Carolina has someone finest brews we have ever had.
