Can't waste that cube

Mmmm....

My first at clear cubes....

Welcome to SB! While I am sure that the pronunciation is like the ammo…bullet, I’ll be damned if I can always remember how the whiskey is actually spelled…spelt…

Hello my fellow bourbon drinker…what is the official pronunciation for Bulleit? We believe it is pronounced the same as bullet, the ammunition. Thank you for your time!

An opportunist

Kinda feel bad I haven't participated in this thread more. Tend to share my smoking with buddies on Discord. I'll try to stop in more... I've been on a Connecticut kick for the past couple years. Favorite cigar is the JdN Numero Uno. And Cubans, generally. R&J, Partagas, Por Laranaga, etc. Ready to branch out again after being in a rut. Not big on pepper bombs, but I've got lots of good boutique smokes to work thru...

Hey! That's me in a nutshell - problem solver . . . . . .

This Cheap Bastard is very impressed, and somewhat envious. The Fighting Cock is pretty damn good, even at $20.00...

Nice! If you like Dickel rye, you'll should really enjoy it. I came across a similar deal on Belle Meade Reserve last year. $37.99 and I cleared the last 3 bottles off the shelf.

More bottom feeding. I just ordered three bottles of Fighting Cock 103 proof for $13 each, marked down from $20, at K&L. They claim that Heaven Hill tells them it's still around 6 yo even though it's NAS. But, whatever, that's EW Black price territory.

The first lot sold out quickly but they (K&L) just posted that they now have more than 60 bottles in stock. The distributor must be dumping their inventory due to slow sales at msrp.

I’ve not had this particular Amburana finished bourbon, but I have had one other. I found the whiskey bordering on gross. Perhaps, it was overdone, but the fossil was so overwhelmingly artificially sweetener tainted, that I went back to it two other times…then buried it deep, deep, deep, in my no-go zone cabinet.

Good hot day for some local sour beer. I know it’s not for everyone, and I used to hate it too, but here I am.

Do you have a pic of the bottle or any more information?

Any thoughts on this bourbon

Yes, the stucco wall where it meets the sidewalk is 3 feet tall. (That’s the maximum height allowed). As the wall runs back toward the house it’s over 6 feet tall. I wanted to step down a horizon metal slatted fence to add just a little privacy and safety for us and the neighbor. The city said it’s not a walkable space so we don’t need a fence, but also can’t have a fence! We have a three foot planter on our side of that wall so we are going to plant some hedges that will have to do. We have a new fire resistant roof and our vents are protected. We took out Apple, fig, lemon, pomegranate trees, but kept the avocado tree even though it’s close to the house. It’s a producer and I just couldn’t. We ended up planting 35 different varieties of plants (148 total, even put in some Kentucky Bluegrass fescue hybrid) with several repeating a pattern halfway around the house. But much more room to defend if we need it. I’ve seen sprinkler systems but probably won’t get one. The recent fires the wind is usually favorable to us. It blows across us. The danger for us would be wind coming off the ocean but those are typically wet winter storms. So while there is risk I think it’s acceptable. We have hose bibs on all corners of the property and we can pump water out of the pool. GTS… I might join ya tonight.

KC never disappoints but MCO almost always disappoints.

Regular KC9 at Orlando airport. Never disappoints.

Oh wow that is just brutal. Sorry you went through that! Curious about the second fence - was it going to be too tall? Sounds like you are doing the right thing to create more defensible space. Have you heard of Frontline? It's a roof mounted sprinkler protection system. I'll pour another GTS for you tonight.

Goodbye!

Sounds like a new thread catagory. What the F&%_ was I thinking when I got myself into this remodel? Thank goodness for the end results....and still being married.

Good Lord! Nothing is easy, is it?

Beautiful - just unbelieveably beautiful! Many thanks . . . . .
