Hopefully, your bourbon hasn't also had botox.

The only thing missing is a drinking vessel.

It’s doing it’s job.

That it is!  Sweet looking pup! Lab? I might just love dogs more than bourbon.  Yet, together...well...

Yep. Almost 10 months. On Wednesday night I had her on the obstacle course. She was sit, stay command. I told her to break, come. I thought she would go down the ramp. She attempted, for first time, to go down the ladder. Ended up slipping and landing on left shoulder. It’s two days of being cooped to make sure she’s good. She’s completely amped and driving me crazy. So, I drink. She has off the charts drive.

Haha, the thought process to attempt the ladder over the ramp.  Probably looking for the quickest way down.  She is beautiful.  May you enjoy many happy years of companionship!

Cool, and congrats.  If I may ask, what are you studying?  Besides the WT, I mean.

Ha ha, apart from my bourbon studies, it's a MSc in Computing (Enterprise Software Systems). My current module is Cloud Architecture.

Glad you put things in the proper order.  Sweet thing to study, I doubt you'll ever lack for work.  #2 pays for #1, in both senses of the term.....

So, I buy a fair amount.  That’s certainly been part of the fun, the hunt.  Likewise, the learning as I sample purchases is fun.  I certainly cannot drink it all.  And as my palate changes (develops?), some things that I did like I like less now, and so on.  I do tend to share both good stuff and normal stuff, depends on who the recipient is, how much they’ll enjoy it, etc.  There’s some satisfaction & fun in that as well.

 

Here’s an example that involves a bit more than the normal volume.  I practice a Filipino martial art known as Kali.  There’s a gathering today & tomorrow in Puerto Rico.  The founder of our particular system, Ray Dionaldo, will be teaching.  Fun stuff if you are into sticks, knives, dirty boxing and the like.  The culture of this group does involve a bit of drinking.  Done right, it facilitates “flow”.  Once everyone has had more than enough, instruction tends to cease and conversion & eating replaces it.  I’m taking some bottles to the event.

 

I’ve divided the bottles into two sets.  Some for people who just like booze and aren’t especially picky about what it is.  And some, set aside, that are not to be shot, mixed, etc., but enjoyed by those with a bit of a taste for specific things. There’ll be other bottles (not depicted) for a private tasting for those who are really into it.

 

Knives, sticks, bourbon, rye, whiskey.  What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?    

Sounds like a lot of fun.  Enjoy!

Sipping on a glass of Bookers this evening.

[FasterHorses]

Got a sample of 1978 Turkey 101. Sipping slowly. I was 8 in rural georgia when this went in the bottle.

I wanted to open one of the new bottles I picked up today for tonight's pour.

The coin toss went to the David Nicholson 1843.

KC12. Ever since this was released it has steadily climbed up the ladder of my current favorite pours.

Now drinking a 4R 11yr 8mo OBSF from 2015 - a private selection from TW. This is back when they couldn't screw it up. So, so good.

I am waiting on a big sale at a local to pick up a few bottles.  Dufus me, I could have grabbed a few @ $55 a couple of months ago but being a cheap bastard I was hoping for a sale.  I see it on the shelf for $65.  I suspect I will grab a few bottles before the holidays.

Wow, a different pour every 21 minutes.  This could be a short night or a long night.  Either way, it sounds like it will be an enjoyable night!

LOL! I so love your self proclaimed cheap bastard status. Hold your ground! As for me, it's always the same price here - never a sale - so I've been steadily stocking up the past couple years.
