Sitting on the deck, in shorts, drinking a glass of Weller - not normal for March in Minnesota. I've been drinking bourbon for a number of years but have only recently began to refine my taste buds. I hit the bourbon trail last April, went to the sampler and plan to go again this year. I'm sure I met many of you at the sampler last year. Recently I've been enjoying Buffalo Trace, Weller and Eagle Rare. As the budget allows I plan to try some of the higher end bourbons discussed on this site. I've really enjoyed this site and am excited to learn more and eventually contribute. Thanks everyone.

Re: Hello from Minnesota
Welcome aboard. My chances of making the sample are about those of the Wild making the playoffs, but there's always hope.

Re: Hello from Minnesota
Welcome!
there are a few of us on here. Crazy weather. Putting ice cubes in my whiskey and it's not even June yet.I guess "give 'em the bird" isn't just a marketing slogan, it's a brand management strategy, too.

Re: Hello from Minnesota
Welcome Dan It was good meeting you at the sampler last year. It took a year to get you to post on here how long to get you into chat ?
Just kidding Looking forward to seeing you at the sampler again this year. Post away on the boards. Have fun if you have any questions just ask away.
