50/50 shot at getting it in two, so naturally it took me three. Wordle 330 3/6 🟨🟨🟩⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I recently had the Redemption 18, which is MGP, and it might have been the best rye I’ve ever had in my life. The young stuff is a waste of time, but I like the 8-10 year MGPs. It can be a dill bomb at young ages and I don’t blame you for moving on from that.
-
Today’s pickups. I really didn’t love the Old Forester SiB Barrel Proof bourbon so I’m a little skeptical of the rye.
-
Orphan Barrel has done a few scotches and the last Bourbon was Dickel nonsense. I’d say they’re back in the groove with older, low proof whiskey. Now that Remus Repeal is gone it feels like there’s a place for this.

Equal numbers of gray squares and lines. Wordle 321 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟨🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It’s pretty good. Not Barterhouse, but beats Copper Tongue like Dickel owes it money. It definitely tastes like there might be significant amounts of > 14 year barrels in the blend. Not as dry as the Rhetorics, tho.
-
They were on a roll with Master’s Collection 16 and the 128.3 batch proof in ‘21. Then they dropped the five malt stouted which was so aggressively, almost intentionally bad that this year’s batch proof would need to be the missing ‘21 GTS to salvage the year.
-
14 year MGP? I’ll allow it, but calling it Baltimore Pure Rye seems intentionally misleading.
-
Toasted, honey finish and NCF. I’ll call it the taterfecta.

That’s a hard word. Wordle 316 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

You know what time is the right time to open a Russell’s pick? Right now.

Don’t sell yourself short, those would be solid CSU Fullerton or Long Beach stats.
-
UCLA facilities and student-faculty ratio are trash. I guess if you’re in state it might be worth it, but otherwise you’re paying USC money for a less personalized experience when you factor in financial aid. I had a roommate transfer there for economic reasons (in state tuition) and he confirmed what I experienced on my tour. On the original question I also don’t think state schools care if you attend their summer programs.
-
I remember those days fondly. Now it’s all auctions higher than secondary and stupid nonsense.
-
It was good sometimes and really bad sometimes. Led me to believe the good sound was more of a mix of the other vocalists and when too much Bon Jovi slipped through it got ugly fast. He did a vocals-only into to Livin On A Prayer that was Ashlee Simpson Orange Bowl bad.

Went to the new Moody last night for Bon Jovi and she steps out of the car with a normal sized, non-clear purse. Me: “You sure you don’t need a clear bag for this like at the Erwin Center for the last 10 shows we’ve been to? Her: “No, I checked online and it just needs to be less than 11x17.” Me: “That doesn’t sound right, but ooooook.” We walk down the stairs from the garage and there’s a giant, new foldable sign stating that you can have a small clutch or a 14x14 clear bag. Me: “Hey, looks like you need a clear bag, let’s walk that purse back to the car now.” Her: “No! I read it online and it’s 11x17!” As we are in the metal detector line a manager lady came charging over yelling “uh huh, nooooo way, girl you KNOW that’s not a clutch. Did you not see the signs?” Me: “Cool, glad we figured that out.”

Old Fitz Jr is always a solid choice.

The Vaults 14 and 15 are about half as good as the all-MGP Lucky 13 single barrels which are some of the best under the radar MGPs released in the last few years. They sat at Specs and TW for weeks like the Vaults and they’re twice as good for barely half the price. I haven’t had the new Kentucky/Indiana/Tennessee Lucky 13s and can only assume that they taste like Barrell’s gray label, which is to say ok but still too Dickel-y to pay more than $75.

If I had to pick between driving an E63 wagon badged as an E350 or driving a Challenger/Charger with the yellow shipping strips on the splitter I’d probably have to go with stepping in front of a bus.
-
I had a Nissan Titan try to take me in the GT350 from the outside lane to a 45 toll on-ramp. I mean, no? But good on him for the effort or whatever.

Up 70%, yay?

I design this kind of thing for a living and feel like its shelf life is going to be short. But Hogwarts retirement land is going to get some people paaaaaid when millennials are ready to call it quits. I have a UT quidditch national champ (also a world champ) on staff so we should be positioned well for the engineering contract.
-
Finally had this year’s Parker’s at Carversteak in Vegas, $65 but no regerts. The staff was entirely useless when it came to bourbon. Their AGM came over to talk to me about how they made their own Maker’s PS and to talk up their selection of single malt (?) bourbons. These are steep secondary but I need to track one down.
-
I still haven’t had one that really blew me away, but I did have the Coy Hill (a 138.8) recently and that was a crème brûlée/brown sugar bomb.
