  1. I’m glad that I thought to sign up my wife for the email raffle.
  2. I so badly wanted VFR to be great. I’m a big Woodford fan. I’ve gone back to it several times, and I’d say it delivers on the fine portion of the name, but that’s about it. The nose is pretty great, but it just falls apart on the palate and has next to no finish for me. Great looking bottle though.
  3. I haven’t had 1, but I’d rank the ones I’ve tried 3, 4, 2.
  4. Little Book 4 is delicious. It falls short of 3, but that’s because 3 was next level good. Life’s too short to not give things a shot. I’m in for 5 no matter what the reviews say. It’ll be something different and unique, and I place a lot of value on that.
  5. Confiscated is a big bottle of meh. The wiseman bourbon and batch 3/4 of the rye are pretty good, but nowhere near worth the MSRP.
  6. Fucking Anthony Taylor man. Ruined what was shaping up to be a beautiful match with his bullshit. Fuck that guy.
  7. That’s absolute grade A horse shit.
  8. I actually did sell them and got $550 for it. So basically I was paid $200 to drink a unicorn bottle of PVW23. Tbh, I wish I hadn’t sold it. Not because I wanted to keep it, but because I’m worried some asshole is going to try to pass it off as the real thing. I didn’t include the original cork topper on purpose but who know what people are willing to do if there is money involved.
  9. Nope. $350 at Wiggy's Liquor down on 6th street near Z Tejas. I should clarify that I found it by calling basically every liquor store in town that day in a quest to find a Pappy 23. So if you want to say that it doesn't count because I called first, that's fair enough.
  10. My greatest shelf find ever was this one:
  11. Maybe. But so much of 4 is that 15 year Kentucky juice that has been peddled to everyone under the sun. Doc Swinson, Old Bones, Three Chords, Prideful Goat, etc. all use it. Not saying it’s not good whiskey, but it wasn’t good enough for whoever distilled it to sell under their own label. Again, I love them both. I’ve told countless people that they should be out there hunting all things Discovery, which I’m a bit conflicted about given what they did with batch 5.
  12. I'll respectfully disagree. My preference between these two varies based on the day. It's a close call and both should be purchased if you happen to stumble across either one. I'd take both of them over Disco 5, hands down.
  13. I haven't had Dovetail so I can't speak to that.
  14. Seagrass is a definite buy. The Rye shines through, but the flavors from the various barrels it’s aged in definitely show up in a positive way. I also have the Armida, but the Bourbon gets lost in that one and it doesn’t really work as well.
  15. Timo relegated to the guy we bring in at the end of the match to waste time.
  16. Helluva save there. Lukaku unlucky to not have a second.
  17. The press will make you look a little sloppy at times, but we’ve broken it much more often than not. We’re also without Kante, who would help quite a bit in that regard.
  18. Lukaku is a total game changer for this squad. The defense has to account for him constantly. So much more room for everyone else. Or it could just be that Arsenal sucks. Or both of those things could be true.
  19. Sipping on the Oak Liquor OF BS Bourbon store pick. Raj grabbed a good one for sure.
  20. Option value is never a bad thing. You can discount the possibility that Tammy will continue improving with regular playtime. If he’s a top 5-10 level striker in 4 years, that buy back amount will look like a steal.
  21. If CP is going to wear the 10 shirt, he needs to put those chances in the back of the net.
  22. That has been coming for more than a minute. Very uninspiring play in the 2nd half. What the fuck was Rudi even trying to do with that pass/clearance anyway?
  23. Our group got one. I wish I could tell you that you’re not missing anything, but that’d be a lie.
  24. Had my second pour of Disco 5 last night. My opinion of it is trending down. I’m one of the bigger Bardstown fans among the guys I drink with, but there is something a little off with this one. It was very tannic and a little too oak forward. It must be the Dickel component throwing me off.
  25. I tried Kosher Wheat finally. I really don’t get it at all. Super drinkable yet wholly unremarkable.
