I was at my local Total Wine yesterday and noted a whole bunch of Small Batch Eh Taylor. Just out in the open, sitting on the shelf. Crazy.

Just yesterday at my local total wine I noted a bottle of Old Forester Single Barrel Rye. It came in at 128 proof. I pondered it, but passed. Someone snatched it up quickly

My wife and granddaughter went out shopping today after my granddaughters soccer game this morning. They went to a number of places looking for prom items and other things. At one vendor/antique mall, they even found something for me. I named him BT. Baby Thunder. Some of y’all will know. So, I’m having a pour or two of BT this evening. Cheers!

Well, at least it’s 100 proof and a minimum of 4 years old. The price around here had been $47.00 for quite a while. It recently went up to $53.00. FWIW, the tubes are empty. I’m saving them for a friend.

Passed on CEHT Small Batch on the shelf at Total Wine yesterday for $65. Just while I was in the bourbon aisle, there were 2 or 3 guys that picked it up at that elevated price. I can't imagine paying $65 for non-age stated BT bourbon when regular NAS BT (with the same mash bill) is sitting right next to it for $25 with no limit. That yellow cardboard tube must really cast a spell over those taters

I hope your Horse came in. Happy Derby Day

My derby day pour

Thanks sir!

Happy Fryeday on Saturday!

I'm just now deeing this. Congrats on the weight loss!

I was pulling for Citizen Bull. The race prior to the Derby was fun to watch. OLD FORESTER TURF CLASSIC. The Spirit Of St Louis.

That looks awesome!

Good to know sir. I was drinking Ten High and coke back then. Not good for anyone. Kept me from brown water for a long time.

Thank you. Wish I had a better set up and knowledge to use it properly. Lol Just my phone. My vision is well intended.

Bananas Foster for desert celebration!

Bananas Foster for dessert.

I like a good chicken-fried steak & eggs on occasion, but generally I agree that a pork chop & eggs will fill the bill even better most of the time. I prefer pork as a breakfast/brunch meat usually.

Prime Dry-aged Sirloin Strip cooked Pittsburgh rare on the Napoleon infrared burner with a wee dram of Booker's 2024 "The Reserves" (shared by @Anwalt in Bardstown). A great "Derby Day" dinner! Typical European style, Caesar Salad followed closely behind (HONEST!!!)

Pork chops with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The Julep was just out of view .

Great Derby Day! 10 of us pooled $50/each on a bottle. Drew numbers last night and picked horses today. I had pick #4. 2 and 3 picked my choices so I went with Sovereignty I bet the birthday, the trainer and the horse loves the CD track. Great luck and I will post picks when I get the prize. Juleps in the glass, going to be a PVW15 for the evening celebration!

Interesting close-up photos. Great color on both of those!

Interesting how that works! I'm totally out, but regular old EC is the same for me, outside...

OLD FORESTER 1920 Citizen Bull.

To all who celebrate!

Mint julep, of course.
