ohhhhhhh yeah!

Can't wait for this. Still trying to figure out how to get a heap of booze in there to drink with the Russell's!
Still not 1 ticket sold to the Rouse Hill event, seriously, there's a reason the Brisbane event isn't at Inala....
They should scrap that event and come to Brisbane a day early and hang out with me. Tribute anyone?

That's a heck of a deal for 89 bucks, AUS or US dollar.

You're not wrong Oscar. I'm going to try and take some US and Japan Tribute, MDS 14, 1994 KS, 1991 Rare Breed and 12yo Gold Foil to drink with them. That would be a night to remember!

Great news guys.... I meet Jimmy at a tasting a couple of months ago. He is a great guy and a lot of fun to listen to. He signed a bottle of RRR that I purchased at the event that I will cherish. I enjoyed the stories about how he didn't want any bottlings with his name on it, and old man Booker. I'll leave it at that so you can hear the full stories yourselves.

This will be one awesome event!!! It'll be even more special for me because I've shouted my Dad a ticket so he can learn all about Kentucky hospitality

[Gumbootboy]

This could be very tempting!
