    Greetings from Mesa, AZ!

    After cruising this (and other) sites, I decided to join and look forward to expanding my knowledge of bourbon. I'm a history buff so learning the history and lore of bourbon is almost as much fun as finding new ones (but not as much fun as drinking them)

    My favorite is Lot B, but I am a huge fan of Thomas Handy and 4 Roses Single Barrel.

    My to-do list includes Elmer T. Lee, William Larue Weller and Ancient Age 10 yr.

    By the way....how do you add a signature?

    Welcome! My wife and I lived in an apartment at Dobson & Main for a couple of years. We get back to the Phx area occasionally to visit friends and hope to move back there in the near future. We should get some AZ SB members together next time we're in town!

    Well said sir! You are not alone, the enjoyment of the history is especially nice among the context of the glass in question. cheers
