Ooooh.  I have one of those.B)  But only one.:(

I have quite a few of the silver text bottles, but this is the only one with a picture of Booker on the side as the "current" master distiller, I know a place though and I'm pretty ready at this point to just clear the shelf, as a plus they are all family size.

Man, I'm literally a 5 min walk away from the only source I know that stocks two shelves full of 8yr handles. The temptation is strong. I think I'm getting one right now.

The "Aged 8 Years" JBB disappeared around here many months ago.  I have one handle and two (three?) 750s of age stated in the bunker.  For quite awhile, it was my go-to.  A local shortage caused me to try some "other" stuff.  My allegiance drifted to OGD BIB with the orange screw cap.  The "extra aged" JBB is fine, but I've become accustomed to the higher proof.  OGD BIB is still my fave, but the JB BIB/Distiller's Cut are always on hand.  Still sipping on a DC before bed tonight.

I'm cracking open something I've been saving for an occasion.

Last pour of a 1.75 EWBIB.  Quality can't beat for the price.

Drinks way above its price point.  At least double...

That's what I'm thinking. Yes...my little town was ground zero. They are completely cut-off from aid and have been without power since late Thursday night. When we couldn't get back, I was kicking myself for leaving, but after sitting here Saturday and Sunday and watching it continue to pour rain and watch through Social Media and local news as road after road washed out and house after house flooded I'm glad we couldn't get back in. The only thing that saved my brother in law's home from flooding was the dam collapsing and draining the small lake that is a couple blocks from my home. It has never risen even close to my home, but it might have with the amount of rain we got. Sorry for venting my "troubles" here. So many others have it much worse.

The color on this one is something, epic pour. Cheers!

Will,

 

just now noticing your glass with the measurement on the side. Where did you find those?

Sipping a dram from the bottle of CEHT SmB that sits hidden behind my favorite patio chair during the Summer.  This juice is a staple at my place - never had a bad bottle.

 

Cheers

Last night I had a little bit of OKI 10 year.  I know it's MGP but it's pretty good.  Followed that with a splash of WT Longbranch.

BDanner, I hope things will be better than expected upon your return. Totally mindblowing devastation near the coast. Pray all your family is ok and you guys get back on your feet soon.

Enjoying a gift shop OBSQ that is just singing to me tonight.  The Q yeast has always been a funky one for me, but this is just hitting every note.

ETL on the rocks is tasting like chilled cotton candy.  Love it.

Been a while for this one, I like the bottle, as well. Hopefully it does not get discontinued.

I see this everywhere now while I never can find the bonded OGD. I have it’s around for at least the foreseeable future.

Drinking some SAOS SB CS 10yr I think at 110 proof. It’s good but I’ve had better barrels. I’m guessing it’s the high rye.

Can find it around here for under $30, pretty easy.

I'm working on a few things inside the house tonight since it was a rainy day here. It betwixt and between, I'll be climbing the Weller ladder. :D

Trivia night at the local dive bar means Maker’s Mark. The only other choice is JBW. At least the pours are deep.
