I’m joining you with some 2017 WLW brother. FWIW, you ain’t alone Frank. I have the other paddle in that canoe. Just substitute kitchen for bathroom. While our kitchen isn’t down, we’re getting ready for a fix up/partial remodel. New cabinet hardware has been purchased. We bought a new light, and under cabinet light for over the stove, and those have been installed. We’ve been checking out flooring, paint colors, sink, faucet, counter tops, and appliances. Hell, I’m dizzy enough as it is. All this crap just makes it worse.

After traveling 9,000 miles over the past 5 days, this Knob Creek Single Barrel is just hitting the spot...

[fishnbowljoe]

Wow!  Traveling 9,000 miles for a KCSB.   Cheers and enjoy!

Today just felt like a good day for a pour of Blanton’s SFTB. Must be the cooler weather.

Yeap, that pretty well hit my pour on the head. Working on the new bottle so I can get back to the old.

I have no idea, as I have never seen that show.  Been using them for awhile, and they are my favorite glasses.

Spent last evening at the firepit with some Willett WFE yr (their distillate).  Boys and girls, Willett has a winner here.

Had my first full pour of my double oaked Dant last night that was aged in my mini Barrel. I’m enjoying. I’ll do a full assessment of the final product sometime soon.

I relaxed a little and had a small pour of a ps OFSB when I got home from work today. I then did some trimming along the driveway, cleaned that up, took the garbage out, then had a pour of OF 100. I will say the current OF 100 is much better than the last few OF Signatures/100’s that I had. That being said, in a SBS, I’d still pick the ps OFSB over the OF 100 if I had to chose. That’s just me....

PS. As a bit of an afterthought, I had a small vatting of the two.

A generous pour of some Old Grandpa Weller I have had mellowing for about a year.

[StarSurfer55]

Was a bad day. My internet connection was constantly dropping and reconnecting during my meetings today. Took my frustrations out on a glass of Weller 12. Mellowed me right out. It’s too good to drink angry.

I was reading something on one of my news feeds that was  discussin what you could drink on ketomdiets. They said distilled spirits were generally okay which agrees with what I have been told in the past .  Then they said you should drink Tequila because it is plant based.   So I guess corn is not a plant now.

[JakeySnakes]

Needed something good after today's dr. appt. featuring me, my shoulder, and calcific tendonitis. I don't know if 'painful' is the right word? Anyway, had a nice pour of OGD BIB, and now onto KC12, which is really agreeing with me at the moment, while watching the Laker game.

Best of luck with the shoulder brother.

In case you are wondering if keto really works while one is drinking distilled spirits I confirm that it does!

I lost 40 lbs. on a strict keto diet while drinking plenty of bourbon along the way.

I'm really digging a Maker's Private Select tonight, one that I first opened a couple of weeks ago. You know the series, the one with different custom stave combinations.  I've had other store picks from this series that ranged from "ok" to "pretty darn good."  I've even taken part in a local barrel pick that I lreally liked of course.  But I've always considered these custom stave finishing things a little gimmicky and a bit on the "dodgy" side to be labeled as a straight bourbon. But I digress.

But tonight anyway THIS one is really pressing the right buttons on my palate. On the finish as it dries and slowly fades away is the most fantastic taste of what I can only describe as powdered Nestlé chocolate. Or Hershey's chocolate powder, take your pick.  It might sound strange but it's really pleasant and kinda addictive. The stave combo if you're interested is 4 baked American pure #2 and 6 Maker's 46. I'm gonna enjoy this bottle.

It's all good! When I come across a good one I'm firmly in the wheater camp as well!

Yep, I am down 50 lbs but we are not on a strict keto but we do reduce carbs as much as possible and calorie restrict as well.  My wife has lost 68 lbs with side benefit of eliminating her joint pain.  This is the one diet that I can stick to long term.
