    For those thinking of pulling the trigger, Amazon still has the 6-quart on sale for $75 and it's currently in stock.

    Motherfuckers.  I bought it on Thursday at $100.  and Amazon won't refund us the difference.  So I am buying it again today at $75 and when it arrives I am turning right around and returning it to them under the original order.  They are paying to ship a new one and paying to ship one back instead of just giving us the $25 back.  So dumb.

    What is KOR? Kentucky Owl?

    I can’t keep up with the abbreviations on this thread.

    Yes.  Kentucky Owl.   Sorry.   Bourbon guy out front should have told you.

    I’m drinking a Four Roses Single barrel store pick. It’s a 10 year and delicious. It’s also almost 120 proof. Maybe I’m a pussy but anything over 110 and I got to put in a big ice cube. It really helped. 

    I think my sweet spot is 90-100 proof and 10-12 year for great neat. Weller 12 is my favorite. 

    Do you people drink the higher proofs neat? How much of a gaping pussy am I?

    Bourbon should be consumed however you want to consume it.  Unless you want to mix it with coke.  Then you just fucking suck.

    Seriously though, I will typically drink the really really good stuff neat, but generally I will put an ice ball in my glass, especially when it's as hot as it is now.

    The moment I saw the "best 80's video" thread I thought "Peter Gabriel -- Sledgehammer".  And in my mind, it IS the best 80's video.  Actually, I'd say it's probably my favorite music video of all time.  I loved the track the moment I first heard it.

    So here he is doing it live, and honestly, it's a better performance.  The band is flat out stunning (that's King Crimson's Tony Levin on bass, just listen to that fucking groove and tone).  But it's not just the playing, it's Gabriel himself, owning the place.  Really, quite a masterful job by a bunch of pro's pros:

     

    Gabriel's Us tour back in 92/93 is still the best concert I have been to.  I still watch it on blu ray prob 3-4 times a year.   And Levin is indeed a genius on the bass.

    Had never seen the show. Started it Saturday. Finished it this morning at 3:30am and am now worthless today. Damn. Just damn. 

    Wow.  I thought I went through it fast in 2 weeks.

    How long did you age the bottle of Larceny? I'm thinking of pouring a 1.75L bottle in my barrel when it arrives. 

    2-3 weeks if I remember correctly.   Start tasting a sample after 2 weeks, the oak will start to really come out in it pretty quickly.

  7. Had dinner tonight at Shells. That place fucking sucked. Wife’s pasta was over cooked to mush and I’ve had a better steak at Chili’s. I had their version of surf and turf with a ribeye and blackened drum. The drum was so so but the steak was a briquet.
    And they didn’t seem to have worried about turning on their AC.

  8. Filled it with water for a few days to seal any leaks. Then risked it with hot water and then added bourbon.
    When I’m not aging anything I just keep them filled with a 70/30 mix of water and cheap cheap stuff(Canadian crap I’ve had and won’t ever drink)to keep them from drying out.
