I don't follow college ball as much as I used to. In the stead, this will do.

Woof - what a game.  I thought the Maize & Blue was going down in the late fourth quarter, but they pulled it out (easily) in OT and 'Bama choked!  On to Houston and the Championship game.  I think I emptied the L&K WFP - good thing I have a few more in The Bunker . . . . .  🤣

Having lived amongst the indigenous population for quite some time I can say

I deeply regret not buying a case of this when it was readily available on the shelves, but at $80 that was pretty pricey for me at the time.  I guess I should just feel lucky that I did have the opportunity to own and drink a couple of these bottles.

I'm surprised these pics turned out at all. I had more celebratory pours last night than I needed. It was "high end" night and I put the "high" in it. Thanks to a fellow sb'r to ensure I got home safely.

Understood. This was the second of two I bought in 2014, so when it's gone, it's gone.

An old friend came over and had a couple pours with me. His first time with this one.

Long day. I attended  an Interesting “neighbors” meeting tonight with an alderman, alderwoman, city neighborhood specialist, district police chief, city police chief and mayor. Interesting and productive meeting. 🤞 Meeting went long, so I didn’t have time to go to the Legion for a beer with an alderwoman and her husband. Her husband Joe is the city council rep for my ward. Oh well, maybe next time. 😉 Wheater Wednesday with several pours of MM at home instead. A different, regularly scheduled neighborhood meeting next Tuesday. Stay tuned. 🤔

I'm making a concerted effort to thin the herd and trying to concentrate the "low-fill" bottles.

As part of my holiday drinking plan to open the good bottles, I opened an old school Stagg Jr. As with many of those early bottles they were not great on their own and needed some help.

I had a 1792 12yr open so was blending with that. Sometimes OK, sometimes not. Tonight, I tried blending it with standard BT. Perfection. So strange how it takes just the right complement to make it sing.

Some MGP goodness to go with some good BBQ last night.

I've done that in the past and agree. ER10 is just hard to get these days.

It's a lot easier to get than that 1792 12 year😄

FWIW, ER10 doesn't seem to be quite as hard to get as it was just a couple of years ago.  At least in my neck of the woods anyway.

I see it around here too, but it's pricey.

Even if it was $30.00, it would be a pass for me. I don't really care for it .

I hear you.  I used to not like it too much, but the last couple of bottles I've had I found I liked it more than I remembered.  But I still prefer BT over ER10 usually.

I Joined here a couple of weeks ago as a beginner and received some excellent advice. I have been trying different bottles that were recommended to me and have been having lots of fun trying to to develop my pallet and ability to pick out the different smells and flavors. It has been difficult to identify much of of anything in what I have been drinking. I like what I am drinking, but just have trouble knowing what and why.

This week at work was a nightmare. Lots of stress. I decided tonight regardless of weather I am ready for it or not I am going to open one of the nicer bottles I have bought and see what happens.  I was greeted by an immediate aroma explosion. I could smell and taste so many different things. I finally could pull out vanilla, toffee, etc. I looked at the tasting notes after and everything was there with exception of slight orange peel (that one escaped me) .  I feel I had a breakthrough. I am guessing the quality of the bottle had a a lot to do with it, but I do feel that this bottle will help me with others moving forward. This was such great experience. One I hope to replicate very often.
