Nice. I'm going to Kenya via Doha in August, I'll look for this in the Doha duty free to drink while on safari

Happy Belated Birthday! Cheers

It is not. I ordered some bourbon from overseas that from my favorite online store that was having some sales and I threw in a couple of bottles of Scotch not available here so I could get the biggest bang for my buck with shipping.

DAMN!

Correction: Old Fitz 7yr BIB.

I am not sure how any of you have purchased any bourbon in the SUMMER OF 2925!??? LMAO Take another look at the title. Lol

Sorry to hear. My opinion lower back surgery is better than cervical. And I am no doctor. 1 thing I do know is if you go with surgery post rehab is key and it isn't just a short term rehab, it is a lifestyle from then on. Confirm with your physician but walk and continue to walk to keep those muscles strong and able to support your spine.

Is this available in the States?

Correction. I bought HH bib in a box with a HH glencairn glass.

HH bib comes with a green bag? I've never seen it in a box, let alone a bag. But there are a lot of things I've never seen.

Working the Webers in the heat today...

Well, that sux! Sorry to hear. Keep good thoughts. Never darker than just before dawn, as they say. Make good decisions. If you are forced to go forward with spine surgery, get the best, most experienced person you have access to. I won't relate a tail of woe that happened to friend; but be wise!

For any of y’all interested in an inexpensive and easy method to get absolutely crystal clear ice cubes at scale, you need to consider Whammie’s method he shares, here. I’ve been using it for a couple of years, and it works great. I’m taking an early pour today of WT101, and looked through the cube and saw the diamond pattern of the bottom of my thick plastic rocks “glass”through the cube. Clear as day!

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope all goes well!

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear your news. Hopefully you can avoid a surgery. Prayers for a good outcome with the surgeon.

Sounds promising!

I’m having a mid-day pour of a 2017 GTS. I just got done with the orthopedic surgeon who advised me the I have a broken lower back (small fractures , disk compression and some arthritis). She also advised me the the mri detected a kidney stone. Insult to injury. Now we have an appointment with a neurosurgeon to determine the path forward. I may need a few today. Not the news we wanted.

Some of you will remember me lamenting the loss of my local liquor store a few years back that was owned by a friend. Ever since then I have been shut out of any LE bourbon due to not having the energy to try to "build the relationship" with another store due to most of them selling at secondary prices. There is one small store I've been going to for staples and I appear to have crossed the threshold of being recognized as a regular because when I went in on Saturday the owner asked me if I had gotten the Heaven Hill 7r BIB yet. He was keeping them in back and retrieved one for me, green bag and all, and charged me MSRP. Perhaps my luck has turned.

Thanks gents. It was!

Bottle clearing mode, three more for the bin. I still have replacements for all of these but even if I didn't I don't think I'd replace any of these if I had to buy them today. Blanton's has become too expensive for what it is (although if all of them tasted like this 2019 honey barrel did, it would be worth it. Unfortunately they don't). Not a fan of the barrel proof Old Fo. Just give me 1920 for less $ and call it a day. The twelve year 1792 is pretty darn good Barton 12 yr whiskey for the price, I paid $50 for this one. But it's too hard to find for the reward in taste, and I'm sure the price has gone up.

Indiana gets the regular BT Bourbon. We get a good amount, then it disappears for a while. Usually not too long and more shows up. Also we have seen more or less uninterrupted supply of Sazerac Rye. Both can be had ~ $20+. Right now, the Saz Rye is the one BT product that checks all the boxes for me. No way I will pay the new prices for some of their other stuff I used to buy: can't find Weller or mash bill #2 brands anyway - so kind of makes not buying it easy.

In VA we're still several years behind when it comes to any BT products. I pop into a store on occasion just for the heck of it and still haven't even seen regular BT...but there is usually a spot on the shelf for it. I guess we're making some progress.

Heehee! FNBJ’s Flux Capacitor must have recently picked up some A grade Plutonium from…somewhere… “Mysterious man viewed on pile of rubble just north of Tehran on Sunday”. —Washington Post

Glad to see bourbon is still reasonably priced in the future. Also, Binny’s is still around…for better or worse.

Chops & zucchini for dinner...
