It definitely tastes good to me tonight.

If I remember correctly, that was a good one. Cheers

Larceny BP C921 in my glass. Enjoying it quite immensely.

My favorite line from the podcast was from the host. He said: "There aren't enough livers in America to process this bourbon" Lol that pretty much sums it up. Is he talking about us and our bunkers, SB community?

It was an excellent podcast. Sorry, but it's not like everyone didn't know this moment was coming. If you recntly invested very much in future barrels, then it's not surprising that you're going to lose your ass.

Now I’m onto Wheel Horse bourbon. For me there are similarities in profile between BT & WH. I am sure, it is just me. Nonetheless, I like the Wheel Horse. Cheers

Well done on the diy plumbing fix. Sounds like you really deserved a nice cold one. I wish we got the varieties of Oktoberfest bier that y’all do. Cheers

BT in my glass. What a day in college football. Days like this, is why I still love college football. Even with all of the troubles in the game currently. Cheers

Emptied the fancy church rummage sale decanter of KC 12 with two healthy pours tonight. We're going in a different direction for the refill. Now I just have to remember as I near the bottom that the dreaded neck pour is lurking down there somewhere.

My father in law had an old bottle of Jack like this. Probably late 80's. He found/brought it out of the back of the cabinet for me one Christmas maybe 7 years ago and said I think we have some root beer to make it more tolerable. I politely declined and drank it neat. It was delicious. Way better than the current stuff based on memory and perception.... maybe it was just the holidays.

But it should be Cheers

Opinions differ Joe. Not dissing Smooth Ambler in any way, shape or form, nor am I minimizing what they’ve done, or what they have to offer. Like I said, just having a little fun. FWIW, I like Smooth Ambler.

If this were true, there would be a bunch of old "James" and "Deanna" bottles of SAOS 7y, 10y, SBBP, and rye sitting around on shelves. I sure haven't seen any of the really good SAOS products sitting around anywhere.

Thanks for playing @0895.

Yeah, but the whole Sarah “thing” over the years has unfortunately done nothing but minimize what SA has actually done well.

Out and about today, I spotted about 2/3 of a one liter bottle of Jack Daniels Old No.7 at an estate sale (I know, another dumb estate sale story). According to the state tax stamp, it was bottled in 1983. The liquid was not cloudy, looked to have been stored in a cabinet in the basement, and the plastic cap was still sealing the contents adequately. Would anyone know of any good reason to plop down $8 for such a thing? Any reason to believe this would differ from today's product in a notable way? Perhaps the opposite is true, and the stuff was so putrid in the 80s that the guy just locked it away for 41 years in the dungeon.

Absolutely. Dont listen to those guys from Chicken, Georgia

Sorry. Unwritten rule. Just having a little fun.

Sorry, but that is not a rule.

Hey, you know the rules @0895. Sarah?

This is, was, very good. Yes, I just bought a new one, which I haven't opened yet.

Enjoying some bottled in 2016 MGP tonight. If you know, you know. Yum!

me too me too

Brief story to lead into the What Bourbon Are You Drinking subject... This afternoon my Son-in-Law was in the process of emptying the home of his recently deceased mother, a widow of many years. He came across an 'airplane bottle' of Ezra Brooks 90-proof from probably the 70's, based upon the tax stamp. ...The only Bourbon in the home. He opened it up, nosed it, and had a small sip. Being the good boy he has always been, and knowing how much I would enjoy it, he brought over to my home and offered it. I said I'd split it or maybe he should just drink it himself. He would have none of that. He said it had to be mine. So I obliged and poured it into a mini-Reidel glass. Man that was a FINE POUR!!!! Ya' gotta wonder why the distilleries could make and sell something as fabulous as this for probably under a buck for that mini back in the day, and now can't seem to make and sell anything similar for under $100 for a 750....? Could make one scratch one's head for long time.

I'm no Mod, but I approve this message. After all, the thread title does not specify the type of spirit.
