My wife's family is in from out of town, so we're getting ready for a second night of board games with a pregame TH Handy. Last night the BIL and I ripped through several iterations of the SB Blend, along with a delicious ETL, KC, Bowman's, WT12, et al, while trying to stay focused on beating the girls in team play. A few of the best games of "Pit" we've had in years. Killed 'em in Pictionary, while they killed us in Taboo. Grudge match tonight.

H.H. BIB and WSR7 nice every once and awhile to go back to the basics.
MM46, V17, and JPS18 and not a one of them hitting my sweet spot tonight. With two out of the three this comes as a surprise. I'd never had the 46 before and it was about what I expected, at any rate.
Alternated between 101 and Bulleit tonight while removing a small sum of money from the coffers of the Indiana Gaming Commision.

Ive had it for a purchase so, purchased from Costco and it sucks. I might dump it with half to go.
After a couple weeks of fretting and multiple pleas for tips from our SB resident smoker pros callmeox and Tcomp, I have just commenced smokin' my first pork butt on the Weber kettle. Commemorating the occasion with a smidge of SB.Com private barrel selection of Pappy 23. We're at 275 degrees and trying not to brood over it....![]()

Looking forward to finishing chores so I can compare my week-old variations of the SB blend (a few ounces at 50/50, and a few ounces with 60 OWA / 40 W12). Been shaking and opening the half-pint bottles daily and can't (or refuse) to wait a second week.

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much of good whiskey is barely enough." - Mark Twain
Went to a bar that specializes in beer last night (32 beers on tap and another 200 in bottles) and was happy to see that they also had a few decent bourbons on hand. This place is nothing fancy, so the bourbons weren't top shelf by any means but they at least had the good sense to stock Four Roses Yellow Label, FR Small Batch, Old Fitz BIB, WT 101 and Russell's Reserve, Makers 46, OWA and Weller 12 plus a few others. I had a few OWA's with my pints of Three Floyds Gumballhead and left with a pleasant buzz and a head full of good zydeco music. Nice night out!
