Clueby Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 On 10/3/2020 at 2:10 PM, IamMatt said: I'm a little late in posting but last weekend the wife and I stumbled upon a bar with one of the largest whiskey offerings in the world. Over 3600 bottles according to our waiter. My wife (she's a keeper) said, "order something you'd like to try for yourself, and order something else you'd like to try for me." So we did that twice. In Vegas a couple years ago we were at a fairly nice place for dinner with a vendor and they had Stagg Jr. for $9 a (generous) pour. Kept going till the bottle ran out. What happens in Vegas...apparently ends up on SB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I like these bars. few years ago I got many arcane small distillery samples for $9 or less. It was great. but friend was at bourbon bar last year that offered iron fist for $1k/1oz, I have to concur, it is that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvW Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 The Bourbon doesn’t matter tonight, but it’s an appropriate good bye drink...RIP Eddie Van Halen, thanks for all the GREAT tunes I grew up with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgtspitter101 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Having some woodford double oaked tonight. I get a starbucks vanilla flavored drink note on taste in the glencairn that turns into plain coffee in a shot glass. I have been passing on this bottle since i didnt care for woodford and picked up a 375ml and love it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It's BIBs tonight. Old Forester, Old Tub, and EW. All good, and not a stinker the bunch. Biba! Joe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 On a beautiful afternoon, finished the last bottle of Baker's on the swing. Fortunately, on Monday we will be in Lexington to restock the bourbon supply depleted during Covid. The cabinet has not been this empty looking in well over 10 years. Hope it never gets this pathetic ever again. Neighbor Craig stopped by and I am really proud of the Christian charity it took to pour him a couple ECs. (The Baker's was gone by the time he showed up.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABVT Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Lil B Ch. 3 - I'm happy I picked this one up. I like Beams profile and after a yr or so air time it's still wonderful. Edited October 8, 2020 by ABVT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I realized this evening that my son's Fall Break starts tomorrow. That means my Fall Break starts tonight. I went to the bunker for something good - came out with KCSB. With just a little dilution this turns into cinnamon roll with creamy butter and brown sugar. This was from a barrel with no info, other than (at least) 9 years. I've never had from a barrel of KCSB I didn't like, some variety, but all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyfish Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Two days ago I was lamenting the state of my Covid Cabinet but consoling myself with the knowledge that we would be passing through Lexington on Monday. This afternoon I found that last bottle of Stagg Jr. at the very back of the cabinet on the bottom shelf. I think this is the last of the five bottles we got in Houston in '17. Overlooked this long because my knees and back don't like to go down to the bottom shelf on a regular basis. Still, at 65% ABV, with judicious sipping, it might well last until Monday. (Theoretically, I have no objection to "bottom shelf" bourbon as long as it does not require bending over.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve moved a few things around a little in my cabinet so I don’t have to bend over as much. FWIW, my shoulder is better/fixed. However, there might be (as my work conditioning therapist put it) a “knee in a bag” in my future. Possibly two. It sucks getting old. Biba!

Kepler Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Poured myself some JM Cigar Blend to celebrate a very unexpected ALDS win for the Astros. I realize not a popular outcome for many across the country, but sticking with my team; tomorrow is another day. Go Stros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Looks like there are 750,000 people without power in SWLouisiana. Many will likely be out for weeks. Hope LC is doing okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only I could stock up on Weller 12 as easily as I can the Turkey! Alas, this W12 is getting pretty low, but I thankfully have a backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
