EW 1783 after cutting grass and weeds. 🥵 Man it was hot.

With weather like this, the Paw paws are growing like crazy too.

Agree with this advice 100%.  You like what  you and don't like those that you don't no matters others taste.

 

Over the last several years I've tried several bottles of  BT and ER and while very popular to me the taste is just off.

I concur. I bought an ER once and after that, my path to truly enjoying it is to simply avoid it completely, its worked out VERY well!! Good thing there are so many varied flavor profiles out there in bourbonia.

OGDBIB on a smoking hot evening in Indiana.

Smoking hot middle-of-the-day so I started early - wife rearranging all (like SHELVES' WORTH!!) of her plant/seedling stuff - lights, trays, rolling cart, lean-to greenhouse) now that Summer's almost here while I stay out of her way and "clean up" my email.  HENCE, I not driving or going outside, so, . . .

 

OGD BIB in my coffee cup while I do some "online banking".  Sure hope I'm awake when it is dinner time.:o

 

Today, 90+ F and NO BREEZE; tomorrow all day no higher than 80 F so I work outside all day tomorrow (well, 10 AM to 3 PM) with nary a sip of bourbon as POWER TOOLS!! be at hand, I am not foolish enough to think . . .😉

I hate to let my anal retentive alternate self out, BUT!!

 

How big is that cube?  How much 1920 in the glass?  I've not played with diluting the 1920 (as I just buy the 1897 100 so I don't have to think about it), but now you have me wondering -- could 1920 diluted to about 100 proof be BETTER to my palate than 1897 neat?  AND, on hot days, could 1920 with a cube hold uo better than 1897 with a cube?

 

Inquiring mind over here, as fuzzy as it is, wants to know!

Hi Harry!  Well I had an OF1920 with a 2 inch square cube last week, but I think your question was actually intended for @JCwhammie, with his OF1920 in that awesome looking OF rocks glass.

Toasting the last day of my wife's school year, and my son at daycare. They both are looking forward to having the summer off, and I'm looking forward to not having my son come home with a daycare cold every other week!

You deserve a nice pour on both counts. Enjoy your summer with the family!

I find having a nice pour when banking, balancing the checkbook or budget makes me a little less p....d off by the nitpicky fees and higher prices.

WTRB this evening.   A front came through and made a mess of the yard but to broke the high heat we’ve had for a week, so I’ll take it.

1792 Fool Proof.   That's not a typo.   Hits the spot every time.

@Harry in WashDC to be honest, I'm not sure how big the ice cube was. When I make these cubes they vary in size. I'm guessing it was about 2-2.5 Oz of 1920.

Something I occasionally do is throw a cube in, do about 20 or so spins with the handle of a small spoon along the sides of the glass, then remove the cube. This gets it nice and chilled without diluting it too much. Give that a shot!

Four fingers wide of freezer FRYL - SWMBO is with the Lexington grandbabies tonite while daughter #2 and hubby are at a Dave Matthews concert for her ## birthday! 

 

I can snore tonite with NO repurcussions or sore sides.  Life is indeed great!   🤩

Funny about this, Frank.  About an hour ago, I put a 4R YL in the fridge in anticipation of the END of yard work tomorrow regardless of how nice it'll be.  If I'm done by 3 PM, I figure that I'll be out of the shower and "resting" with a cat on my side by 4PM.  Great minds . . .😉

Well that didn't go well.  Seller wants to wait to see what other offers they get before countering.  Rescinded the offer and celebrated by opening a bottle of  WTRB.  Delicious.

Pulled a store pick KCSiB out of the bunker that probably goes back 5-6 years. First, I was reminded of how bad that wax used to be - made a mess of course. I am SO happy they solved that problem.

Second, I'm reminded of how great those picks used to be. This one predates the era of the exact age information on the label but I have a friend locally who works for Beam and he would always email the barrel program manager to find out for me and because of that I know that this one was 12 yrs old. 12 yr Beam at 120 proof. Yes please!

My mouth started watering reading this post because I know how great a KC barrel pick like that can be.  Enjoy!
