What Bourbon Are You Drinking Summer 2025?

[markandrex]

Some RR13 tonight.  Just taking it easy.  We are scheduled for closing on 7/3 on the new place.

Smoke Wagon Small Batch tonight. Not impressed. It doesn't suck, but I won't buy another bottle.

I’m having a mid-day pour of a 2017 GTS.  I just got done with the orthopedic surgeon who advised me the I have a broken lower back (small fractures , disk compression and some arthritis). She also advised me the the mri detected a kidney stone.  Insult to injury.

Now we have an appointment with a neurosurgeon to determine the path forward.  
I may need a few today.  Not the news we wanted.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you have a quick recovery

I remember liking that one. Just an easy drinker. I'll try it again.

I've been on a higher proof kick lately and this was just a very easy drinker. I was probably expecting more. It has good flavor, but I thought it lacked character/complexity. I'll give it another try or two before pulling the curtain on it.

With a lot of these NDPs you have to get them in the first several releases.

Fresh crack....and damn!

This is really good......

This is fantastic!

WLW in the glass.  We met with Orthopedic surgeon, not good.  Disks in three areas require fusion/screws.  Mid and lower back first, come back in 3-6 months for neck.  
On a positive note , she got me fast-tracked into the leading spinal clinic in Nashville on Tuesday.

Surgery is imminent and soon.  The spinal cord is pinched in all three areas.  She was impressed but concerned that I was moving at all.  
Now that the wife is done crying, it is time to relax.

Cheers all!

Ooooh!   Not all good news;  but, at least the plan is now in place and it sounds like the wheels are turning.   Best of "luck"; but, I hope it isn't luck that sustains you in this markandrex!   Prayers will be sent up for your health.

You got this!

I had a pour of MM earlier this evening. I was intent on having another when I read the post from @markandrex. I changed course and decided to have a pour of WLW to show support for him. Best to you on successful surgeries, and your recovery. Cheers brother!  We’re here for you.
