I've been going back and forth between JB BIB and HH 6 yr BIB lately. Not much left in either bottle. What next??? :grin:

Well Joe, you could go all crazy and move on to VOB BIB. :lol:

I'm wrapping up a Beam week, with the last couple of pours of a fine KC expression. Which way should I go now?

A nice pour of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit.

Trying to get back in the groove of doing yard work after a 3yr hiatus. Sitting on the patio sipping on WSR, an unassuming, solid wheater...while 2 cardinals play in the neighbors yard. Now to get more gas for the lawn mower. More drinking later

Just finished a bottle HH6/90 fresh out the fridge. For some reason out the fridge gives it this delicious cherry coke note that I really like.

Working in Miami for the next 10 days. That said selection was minimal at best in the local LS. So.....I picked up a handle of EWB. Have not had this in a while. Not bad for an 86er. This is the first juice below 101 I have had in a long time. I will explore some other retailers in a day or two and pick up something more appropriate. The co-workers will appreciate the EWB.

Started the night with some OS 7y (one of my current favorite) now on to some Bookers (C90-K-28)...... an old bottle, and it's sooooo good.

Thick and chewy.

Wife made some chocolate chip cookies tonight for our son's class. I partook in some of those, and some MMCS. Went together quite nicely.

Following up with some 118.8 proof OBSK. Terrific as usual.

Revisiting some bottles that fell out of favor some time ago, EWSB 2003 store selection and Rhetoric. No complaints now that I forgot how much the Rhetoric was.

Enjoying some PHC8 tonight. I've been consuming so much SAOS 7 and EC12 recently, I forgot how nice a pour this was.

Stopped at a friend's house and had my first pour of Bowman Brothers SmB.

Had some JB devils cut, Early Times 354, and opened a bottle of Clyde Mays. The Clyde Mays was a strange beast, every time I took a drink, I thought that can't be right. It has a weird apple thing going on, almost to the point that in a blind tasting someone would swear it was flavored.

I'm about T minus three hours to a 4R 'fest to kick this weekend off. Probably going to have to start out with a select OBSO.

Early Times 354

Two questions:

Is that stuff available on the shelf where you are? I thought it might be discontinued, but am not certain.

More importantly, how is it? Should I even care if it is available?

354 is Brown-Foreman's version of a value Bourbon which is to say Old Forester just less so.

Good to know. I suppose that means that sticking with OFSig, which I enjoy quite a bit, is the thing to do rather than chasing its lower proof and probably made-up-of-not-so-great-barrels little brother.

I tend to be curious about anything that I can't get, particularly bottom shelf can't gets (like David Nicholson for example), but I recognize it does not make much sense.

Atta boy! Don't let the bastards get you down! I've had similar increases each of the last five years which is enough to drive you to drink, that's for sure.

Mellow Corn and Dixie Dew for me last night while watching hockey. Honestly, I love them both and you absolutely cannot beat the price. Excellent flavor, excellent value!

Rock hill farms while washing the dishes. May need another before starting this dreadful paper I have to write.
