  1. The toasted rye is the best thing they make short of the really crazy stuff like 20/25.
  2. It’s going for about 200-220 secondary right now so you should buy it and trade at a minimum.
  3. Close, 2020 in Alaska. Before y’all book a cruise it’s not like that anymore at all.
  4. I hear you. I’ve walked some pretty crazy bottles because it just seemed like too much trouble to get them home.
  5. I kind of love that dude. Shaw managed to win at Stanford without being a sociopath like Harbaugh and then stepped away on his own terms without a golden parachute funded by the efforts of unpaid athletes. No alumni base or student population in the PAC has fewer lonely F’s to give about football than Stanford and Shaw managed to quietly turn that into Rose Bowl wins and tons of guys in the NFL. He has my respect.
  6. I’m pretty good at math and can’t make “didn’t have room for FRSMBLE” add up.
  7. It was ER17 good, crazy bottle for $350 at auction. ‘19 has a reputation for greatness, but I don’t remember it being anywhere near that tasty.
  8. Starting with a Rye Sazerac today, but cracked an ‘18 FRSMBLE yesterday by the fire and had no regerts.
  9. Exactly. If USC wins out they’ll be in.
  10. For sure. I’d probably let a 10, 12 and 15 go for just the price of their 15.
  11. UCLA playing defense like Rice and Colorado.
  12. I haven’t had this round, but had a couple from last year and didn’t care for them at all. The ECBP private barrels are 2x+ the age for around the same price and 3x as good. I do like the OF barrel proof rye though.
  13. But unlike UCLA we are undefeated against average and crappy teams.
  14. This is such a great game, can’t wait. Too bad a first year coach can’t turn a program around. Heeeeeeyo!
  15. Speaking of Weller single Barrel, I just crushed the last 3.5 pours of a bottle at the Lakeway Cigar Lounge for $6.93 per 1.5 oz. I’ll be the first to say it’s stupid at secondary, but that worked just fine.
  16. CPS is pretty terrible and people are very stupid, but these “we did nothing wrong and now I’m a felon/our kids were taken,” stories are almost always wrong or at least inaccurate.
  17. I’m feeling the same so I made mine with a Russell’s single barrel pick from WB. I also like them with Weller SR and no water
  18. Anybody who doesn’t realize that Wellerz SiB was meant to be traded away to the collect ‘em all guys is probably in the wrong thread. I’ve outright sold two of them and bought some killer PHC, 4R, and Old Fitz with the proceeds.
  19. How do you feel about my counter/backsplash combo at my dry bar? The wet bar has the same counter with a galvanized backsplash, maybe I should mix it up. *Or* I could buy a new leather Lay Z Boy and take pics there. Decisions, decisions.
  20. Just cashed my ‘18 M10 Bourbon from back in the day when these used to sit on the shelf in Alaska where people didn’t care about bourbon more expensive than Maker’s. For low proof bourbons these are just so damn good.
  21. Nobody does, I think that’s part of the joke. I like the way it looks and can’t even comprehend the scale.
  22. I cannot recommend this highly enough. I think young, high proof rye makes a killer cocktail. I liked the Old Scout 4 yr and Willett 4 yr until I tried this one and found Manhattan nirvana.
  23. This might be one of the best Manhattans I’ve ever made. Also roasting some potatoes, grilling bone in ribeyes and getting warmed up for some Pac-12 after dark.
  24. That looks like a lot of work with the air compressor. In 5 minutes I’d have the skin off and pulled down past the neck. If you skin while it’s slightly warm still it’s even easier. I did cut a standing rib roast two seasons ago and might do another this year. It’s really not that hard with a sawzall and I enjoy doing venison up special.
  25. 126067 Deepsea Challenge or nothing.
