Last refrigerator bottle of the year.

 

Prost!!  Phil

MMCS in the glass after closing the pool for the season.  Here’s to a lot of time freed up from skimming the pool for leaves.

Back to work this week after being off since the end of June with hand/thumb surgery not really happy about it.  I am ready to retire.

 

A couple of fingers of KC 9 will help.

A beautiful Fall evening that calls for something special,  2020 WLW in the glass.

 I got laid off 6/20 and segued directly into retirement. I highly recommend it! Now if only I could improve my golf game….

Finally mowed the Grass been a while.

 

Tonight's pour RR 10 with a frosted glass

No parental supervision this evening as the wife had to go to the city for work. So therefore Knob Creek was called upon after a long day of rain. Looks like this bottle will end up in the “empty bottle support group thread” shortly.

Damm health ins. is what is holding me back..

 

I could help you with that golf game.  I gave lessons at a local driving range that I practiced at years ago.  Once and a while I could even play good...lol

There’s KC9 in my glass as well. Smoked with some oak, has really mellowed out the front.

I have played some of the worst golf courses in the world, a life long NYC muni player, we are talking burnt out cars , etc on the course in the 70’s to US Open courses, like Shinnecock Hills, Merion, Pinehurst # 2, etc. I can hack it around with the best of them. I was a 13 but am trending towards a 20 nowadays. Still love it.

Surprised me how much I have been enjoying this, really delicious.

I’m a WT fanboy, so take this with a grain of salt. Best bourbon I’ve ever had. Drinks like a freight train disguised as an ice cream truck.

MM 46.

 

Prost!!  Phil

Glad to see you here.  Please be open to Four Roses Single Barrel.  I like it at least as well as the Small Batch Select, and it is less expensive.

Currently sipping on a glass of FRSB, smoked with cherry wood. It is a smooth combination for sure.

Anniversary weekend.  Our 35th wedding anniversary is Monday but we started the celebration today.  Went to one of the top restaurants in the Indy area with my wife, best man, his wife, maid of honor, her husband and my youngest son.  We even allowed a local news celebrity to join us but we made her sit at the table next to ours. 

 

I paid for the wine for the night but my best man said all bourbon pours were on him.  I am never one to take advantage of a friend so I was looking at KC9 until I saw they had HMcK10 for only $1 per pour.  That was my pour.  It was an excellent choice, or two, or three.  My friend opted for KC9.  He wanted a little more oak.  The pours of HMcK10 were generous from the start but appeared to be more generous with each pour as it was obvious we were going to pop some $$$ tonight.  

 

Sometimes atmosphere dictates perception but the pours of HMcK10 were stellar.  I would love to have a bottle for home, even if just to remember this evening.  

 

Bourbon + Friends + Atmosphere = Awesome.

 

Home now and enjoying a couple of decent pours of New Riff.  The HMcK10 was stellar but the New Riff is really hitting it as well.  

 

Tomorrow we hit it with my oldest son and his girlfriend.  Then I am off work on Monday, my actual anniversary.  I see a lot more nice meals, family and friends, and bourbon over the next few days.

A little late to the party. Happy 35th to you and the Mrs.

Sipping a MM PS I picked up recently watching Judge go for #61.

Sipping on some AAA.  I over-did some yard work the last few days and feeling it today.

No apologies needed - I "borrowed" the GW4G blend from someone else!  Maybe @Harry in WashDC?  My memory is going fast.  

  

Wasnt  lcpfratn responsible for one of the blends if not that one?

When I was younger, I used to do yard work first thing in the morning so I could shower after.  Now I do it late in the afternoon so I can have a much-needed drink after.  A running joke in my house is that when I am in pain I say I need some ice for my back.  Preferably with a couple ounces of bourbon over it.

I like the logic to that!

Tried it for the first time last night.  I like it.  But you proof hounds are starting to get me used to more viscosity.  Liked the flavor.  Starting to grok what "that WT flavor" is.

Once you are fluent in both Wild Turkey and Four Roses we will welcome you into the Lawrenceburg Tribe.

This reminds me of one of my favorite Jimmy Russell quotes. When asked how he liked his bourbon he said with ice because it makes the ice taste better.

Sipped small pours of an OF100, some Old Tub; which I surprisingly liked alot, and finished off with some GD Cascade Hollow TN Whisky
