  1. Batch 1 is good. Have one open. Stoli bought them in early 2017, but this was 100% Dedman fingerprints. Last of the decent batches IMO. Still nor sure I’d say worth the MSRP. But it’s closer.
  2. KO hasn’t been the same post Stoli’s purchase.
  3. It’s meh
  4. Buddy had back surgery and can’t make the game. Seeing as how its his birthday, we are going to hang back with him. Would like to re-home these to someone that would enjoy them. Thinking $300 for the four, OBO. Right out of the tunnel on the aisle. Great seats.
  5. How I long for more of the 15 year age stayed heaven hill sourced Drum. Turning the clock closer to current they’ve used HH, Brown Forman and Beam. Turning the clock to couple years ago, they started mixing in very young bourbon, including their own vile distillate that goes into the wretched, undrinkable pot still. The most recent version I tasted from the shelf today tastes much better. Though it still tastes like Willett distillate is in there. Perhaps it’s just gotten old enough where it doesn’t drink like hot garbage. But there was definitely a horrible period for Drum over the last few years.
  6. There should be a date stamp on the bottom of the glass. It’s imperfect, but would get you close.
  7. I ate in shorts after golf in Scottsdale. But they may be more lax there than Houston. Jeans are fine I’m sure.
  8. Does Dallas have a Mastro’s? Only $30-35 per pour of GTS, THH and WLW
  9. Haha
  10. What year is it? I have an unhealthy obsession with bernheim era 107
  11. But agree it is never that clear. Especially for folks like Belle Meade and Smooth Ambler. Which buy young MGP barrels and age them in Tennessee or West Virginia. Not all MGP will taste the same given the varying climates in which they are aged.
  12. Key is to look at the back label - “distilled in Indiana”
  13. True, but BM is still MGP. Just blended younger MGP. They don’t distill anything at Nelson’s Green Brier
  14. Guess the old charity tournament “Tiger Drive” now has new meaning how long until a gif appears with a huge crowd lining the the median scrambles to encircle the car wreckage?
  15. Sadly this is correct
  16. I know many of you will be tempted to test the ice on ponds and lakes, but REMEMBER, it’s not safe to drive your BMW on it unless it’s AT LEAST 9” thick.
  17. Couple of the wheated C barrel WFEs that slide in above 135 proof are dreamy. I’m not a proof whore but I respect good bourbon (and rye) at any proof.
  18. A) this sucks man _ sorry. B) I just hit 21k on my 2017 and I’m sufficiently freaked out.
  19. I don’t need a supercharged V8 Raptor. But I think I need one.
  20. Good news is 2021 Handy’s are still $20
  21. Mashbills sync with: Barton (guessing 1792) Brown-Forman (guessing Old Forrester) Beam (Guess Knob Creek) in that order
  22. Mashbills sync with: Barton Brown-Forman Beam in that order
  23. It isn’t bourbon, but damn if Hop-based whiskey isn’t fucking amazing. Like drinking weed.
