While I don't actually have it in hand right now, my brother (in Tejas) scored me a bottle of VWFRR today:

2x EWSB 2000 on the way home from work. Nice surprise. My favorite of the series so far.

Jim Rutledge was at the Blarney last night in Toledo for a signing and tasting. I had never been to one of these before so I rounded up 4 buddies and we made a day trip out of it. Jim spoke for an hour and we really enjoyed his talk. One of my buddies has been home brewing for 20+ years and he was asking Jim one question after another. When he was done talking, Jim signed bottles of the private bottling (OBSV recipe) that the Blarney had recently acquired. All of my buddies purchased a bottle but I got three of them. I'm going to donate one to a local auction and keep the two for myself.

Then this morning, my local liquor store called me. I gave him a wish list so he could work with his distributors. He was able to obtain a Stagg for me. I can't wait to crack that one open.

Here's what I paid for over the past week

2 x PVW20's

2 x WLW's

2 x GTS

2 x VWFRR

Went to go pick up my the 2 20 years and 1 rye, store owner had been holding it for me and I paid for it over the phone. When I got there he went to get the box and couldn't find it. He asked an employee where it was and the guy said that the person came in yesterday and got it. I guess the some one came in just said they had some Pappy on hold, and the clerk said oh, you must be the one that paid for it already, went and got the box, gave it to the customer and away he went. Store owner was pissed, asked if he could have a day to go over tapes and try and find the person before he credited my card. Moral of the story don't prepay, I called the credit card company and it shouldn't be a problem getting the funds back, but not looking good at getting any 20 years this year. After this years fiasco with PVW, I'm done chasing it around. So here's what I actually got.

2 x GTS

2 x WLW

1 x VWFRR

I purchased my first bottle of Elmer T. Lee today, due to so many people recommending it to me.

You can also add Wild Turkey 101 to my purchases. I found a 375 ml bottle so figured why not give it a shot.

NOw you just need to work on getting another 11 of other items to lay down with it. I did the same for my first in 09 and need to work and doing the same for the next one coming soon.

Hard part will be staying away from it for the next many years..... 3 down, 18 to go!!

I think everything seems to be tough to find this year, at least for me. Good grab though.

[jkater1]

Got a current PHC looking forward to trying it.

$10 more than the state minimum, I can deal with that. Although I did find a VWFRR that the guy wanted $199 for which is a bit to rich for me.

Awesome! I grew up in Cadiz, KY, and essentially all of my family still live there. I grew up eating country ham regularly since my grandfather was one of the prominent producers in the area, back when he was in better health. Here's an article from the Chicago Reader from where they visited my grandfather's farm http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/ham-country/Content?oid=999745, and one from the Serious Eats website http://www.seriouseats.com/2008/03/cadiz-kentucky-doug-freeman-ham-man.html on the lost art of ham curing.

What restaurant was this?
