steven s Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 in the dominican republic with the family. scored a blanton's for 60$ otd at the charlotte airport duty free on the way down. i have to say, and this is about my 4th or 5th different barrel, that it does not even come close to living up to the hype. yes it's enjoyable, but there are lots of things i prefer for less than 60$. i can't believe what people pay for this. happy thxgiving all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Started out with some Monkey Shoulder (yes, not bourbon) then followed up with some MM101. Still confirming that I prefer bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, you’re left with a screw off which is easier than a cork. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbon4all Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 OESV and an Oliva masters blend while the wife is cutting up cheese, and now she will officially have nothing “stressful” to do tomorrow. Better go get her some nice wine in the morning after I pull the brisket for all her effort in making what will be another wonderful Thanksgiving. Cheers! Enjoy your families! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be opening her a nice bottle (since she won’t herself) as I brain farted and forgot the stores are closed tomorrow… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use to draw the faces on the grapes? Hopefully, not a Sharpie! We did the Grinchkabobs so we could share them with the family at Thanksgiving. The pen was a Wilton FoodWriter Edible Color Marker. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Bret Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Did a SBS (actually many more than one) with a brand I never purchased before - Crown Royal, and a bottle I had not seen before - Ezra Brooks Distillers Collection. The Crown Royal was bought because the mash bill intreaged me, wheat, corn and barley. Great sweet nose, light bodied and a delightful no burn 90 proof. The youth was well hidden. The Ezra, classic, 107 proof, very well made, balanced and a repeat buy. While I am glad I have the Crown Royal, at $70 a pop, it won't become an every day sipper. At $35, the Ezra will definatly have company in the bunker. Happy thanksgiving all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayouredd Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Actually, being programmed by SB is akin to velvet shackles!!! You guys have me believing that the holidays are meant for ryes. Started with WP10, Bulleit Rye, then Willet 4yr & just enough eggnog. (sorta like cream in coffee instead of opposite) The Willet wins but all good... Happy Thanksgiving & a safe, wonderful Holiday Season to all!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 We had a wonderful Thanksgiving get together at my niece /@Galvin0791house yesterday. This years gathering was even more meaningful since we couldn’t get together last year. Great family, great food, fun and games() and a couple of very nice pours. I brought a BT Bourbon Cream to share with everyone, and Mike shared pours of a ps BT and a LotB with me. (We’re the only bourbon drinkers.) A good time was had by all. Biba!
