Helped a buddy move some furniture to his new house, then took down the outside Christmas decorations. Which all resulted in addtional pain to an already hurtin' right rotator cuff. So, some '04 Stagg to ease the pain, and ease me into a nice evening of relaxation...

A couple different SB blends this evening. First was OWA/WSR. Now OWA/W12
Ended my bourbon drinking today with the standard 4RSmB.

Fabulous wrap on the weekend as friend dropped by and we pulled out a silver 375 of High West 21 year old rye. Delicious juice and wrapped the evening with one drink left in the bottle. Think I'll take that one to the porch for one lucky rascal. Thanks, David Perkins ... shame there's no more of this stuff.
Truly big toys for big boys! How about letting us know how you liked this pricey jewel!Quote:

Having a small pour of KCSBR while recuperating from surgery for facial fractures. It's a nice pain killer...lol.

I'll give it a shot .. but I gotta tell you .. we just went at it and racked up "Bad Santa" and spent damn little time talking about it other than .. "damn, this is good!" As Billy Bob Thornton was crawling up to the kid's doorstep with the stuffed elephant and the movie credits started rolling .. we were finished with the bottle. I noted that it was so velvety sweet with dominant vanilla .. a nose that matched the liquor .. and little to no front heat. Actually .. no heat .. too easy to drink. We had it on ice .. and at one point I commented that .. blind .. I might not identify it as rye .. but more pappylike. I know that's not much .. so I should save that one remaining shot for tasting as the entire remainder of the bottle was wasted (not) drinking! :grin: You are right about the cost .. I paid $70+ for the 375 last April. Broken down in cost per drink .. a bargain.
I hope the KC is working well for you and the recovery process even better.Quote:
