Hello, I recently purchased a WFE purple top. It's barrel 2882 and can't find any information on it online... Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance!

....and the crabby weekend continues

Jim Beam SiB in the glass...

Another Punch. Check out the cool pic that we found yesterday, (ignore the goofball in the reflection) Look closely at the frame...it resembles a tobacco leaf. If you look very closely, right above the signature, "Cuba" is lightly embossed on the mat.

AMEN!!

Me, too. Luckily, I travel to our company’s plant in South Carolina, so I can pick it up there. Never seen it here, in Georgia. Its heavy, juicy, prototypical, Beam notes remind me of the Beam Bonded from several years back. BB still remains one of my favorite all-time Beam expressions. This is right there with it.

Gotta keep this one on the bar. It's one of my favorite Beam expressions.

We need to get them hooked on Crown Royal, they might lose their minds...all those different colors!

Guys, I was at Walmart today and saw this. It would be perfect for clear ice. Cheap, small enough to fit in the freezer without taking up too much space, and big enough to make a few weeks worth (give or take) of ice. Heck, I may go back and get one. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-9-QT-Laguna-Ice-Chest-Cooler-Red/681417013?classType=VARIANT&adsRedirect=true

Bwahahaha! It's almost embarrassing to buy whiskey with those little bags or boxes. I tried a couple pours last night. It's pretty damn good. Not $64.00 good, but good. I prefer the HH BiB, both the 6 & 7 year versions, over this. I'll revisit this one later. That said, I won't be running out to replace them when they're gone, unless they come to their senses and drop the price. We all know that ain't gonna happen!

Just noticed this label says 1L....is this actually how it will be released?

But what would the taters think about that? In my neck of the woods, they are more excited about scoring a bottle that comes with the green velvet bag, than what it tastes like. Evidently not all bottles come with the bag (only so many bags are included in a case lot), so it has become a sport amongst the taters to chase the velvet bag.

Following @fishnbowljoe' lead with Blanton's as my first bourbon pour in the new summer thread. I'm in a bottle clearing mode, so my 2019 Blanton's (on the left) is on the chopping block. I've called this bottle a 'honey barrel' because this one has been about as good as any recent Blanton's is llikely going to be. Took the time to do a SBS with another open bottle (2018 on the right). The 2019 still beats it easily. I'm going to miss the 2019 bottle when it's gone because I just don't see myself purchasing any new ones at the current msrp.

Today was our quarterly state ABC drop. The last time I got a Weller 107 about a year ago, it was $40ish. Today it was $58.99. The old Fitz was $59.99. Today was a work in the garden beer day so I'll try the old Fitz tomorrow.

Knob Creek 12 never disappoints. And then, suddenly, it does. When the bottle is empty. Uh-oh!

When I blend those two I do 2 parts WTRB to 3 parts RR10. That brings it to roughly 100.72 proof. So it's a more complex WT101.

Frey Ranch Farm Strength in the glass. Such a good pour.

Thanks. You too! Late Saturday afternoon CAO Gold Torpedo fixin’ to get lit with an HH BIB.

I haven’t been much of a buyer of this since the rebranding. Maybe, 2 bottles, total? Perhaps my disinterest has been due to it’s higher price over the 6 year that was mostly $12 when I was buying regularly. Perhaps, I have a good bunker full of those 6 years. Perhaps, it was a GBS sponsored SBS between old and new, where at that time there was not much distinguishing the two, and the group pretty much had them equal in preferences. Perhaps, other HH products have been catching my fancy. Whatever it has been, I felt that today would be the day to pick one up. And, do I did.

Been looking for these and finally found a couple. I think MSRP is $59.99. I paid $64.00, so my cheap-ass is only slightly chafed. I'd just assume that they ditch the cute sack, and charge less.

Yup!

Looks delicious. I love eggs Benedict, so I’m guessing this a take on that? Sub Canadian bacon with soft shell crabs? On a side note, I’m pretty sure I’ve never had soft shell crabs. Probably because, though Ive travelled through Maryland, I’ve never spent time there. I know Mrssmokinjoe’s mother travelled there a time, or two, and raved on the seafood options.

Breakfast in a little town on Marylands Eastern Shore. Softshell Benedict. It's soft crab season in MD so I eat 'em a lot

Took a look around for this and didn’t see any. I don’t even bother asking Binnys managers if stuff like this comes in, they usually just lie (that’s my exp anyways). I may be a buyer if I stumble upon it one day, until then, not gonna lose any sleep over this one.

This is my favorite dish currently that’s in the rotation. Aside from the ancient grain bread that I purchased yesterday I buy everything fresh on Saturday morning. Italian egg sandwich. Oil, eggs, garlic, tomato, and basil.
