Beam's "Throwdown Challenge"

Very Cool One of our own showing how it's done!

Very well done. 60 seconds is quite short time

Congrats. I'm not sure how I would have fared, particularly if I would have started sampling on my own tab beforehand.

Very Nice - I particularly like the "Stay on the Beam" from Fred Noe - as a retired Sailor, It has extra significance.

I attended same event held the night before in Houston. I tried it twice, each time I missed by swapping Makers and Knob Creek. The Jim Beam White you could tell by color, but Makers and Knob Creek were the same color and I thought close on the nose.

The event was called Spirit Confidential by Beam Global. It was a very nice event - big props to Beam.

I made the same mistake - but they gave me another chance, and I got it... Really weird how, blind (and my second try was after quite a few drinks with the Laphroaig folks) the Makers & Knob are SO hard to tell apart.

So, I happily walked away with my own barrel as well, but not as "cleanly" as StraightNoChaser managed to pull his off... he nailed 'em all - first try, 60 seconds.

Although ask him how well he did on the Laphroaig expressions challenge later in the evening after we'd sampled nearly the entire range of offerings....
