Quoted from kcZ:I'll add Blue Note to my mental list. The Heaven's Hill that I picked up for the crew has been a hit.
That HH bib is very good stuff for sure. Everyone I have let try it has been very happy with it.

I see a lot of you giving high praise to Peerless, so I’m itching to give it a try. Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere, only the rye. Is the rye worth it, it’s not cheap around here...

Do you want me to send you back a sample of the Peerless bourbon?

I actually prefer the Rye to the Bourbon. Both are good, but the Rye is terrific. It is spicy but smooth, and has a spicy heat to it. I buy it for about $120 a bottle, so that might be a good benchmark.
All this talk about Peerless made me pour two fingers. It has mellowed out a lot since I tried it the other week and I like it a bunch. I did just try it compared to the Rye and I still stick by my guns that as good as both are, that I prefer the aRye even more.

I agree that Peerless Rye better than the bourbon but both very good.

Awesome. Maybe use other terms of measurements than anatomy

It’s almost like both hands with those giant sausage fingers.

Who’s got time to dick around with jiggers and the like? Too many adventures to be had!

It’s all good Steve. One day, when you need me to crush a diamond or to hold tectonic plates together to keep Illinois from sinking into the ground or rip the door off a burning tour bus full of Maxim models in order to free them, my glorious hands and I will be there on the double!

Oh my! Sounds like we need an illustrator to draw you as a super hero in a comic book.

I will put you down for a review copy of "Big Hands, Bigger Gloves: An Erotic Memoir." It has foldouts, pop ups and everything!

I would imagine bowz is in line for copy number 1 of the special edition leather bound hardcover personally signed to him right? And I'm sure you're going to put your hand on the inside cover and trace it also
Quoted from SirScott:Well, that escalated quickly.
All because of some thing some punk kid on a big wheel said!!

Your Delta Tau Chi name is "Pelican Boy." 
Quoted from SirScott:Your Delta Tau Chi name is "Pelican Boy."
Somebody very quickly pour a drink and post the picture before we go completely off the cliff
Quoted from SirScott:Your Delta Tau Chi name is "Pelican Boy."
Scott, since you are Rush Chairman, I think you need to bestow all of us with our Delta Tau Chi names.

Why do you think the book has foldouts and pop ups? Note: the hand tracing is only one of the fold outs.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:U slackers need to get in the game apparently i'm drinking alone. A little A120 and here we go!

I’m getting to that point....I don’t get my day started as early as you, thank goodness
Quoted from Green-Machine:I’m getting to that point....I don’t get my day started as early as you think goodness
I doubt anybody here gets there day started when I get up. All good though just means I get started sooner than everyone else
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I doubt anybody here gets there day started when I get up. All good though just means I get started sooner than everyone else
Definitely early! At one time in my life I had a 4am start time. Never want that again!
Just finished eating dinner. Made scampi Salmon...so good! I’m ready for bed after all that butter
Quoted from DBLM:I poured two fingers, and then measured it with my jigger.
Will your "jigger" be in the pop-up book? Asking for a friend.
Quoted from Chisox:Hello. Finally got this bottle from my buddy. I was promised chapter 2 but whatever, I’m not gonna cry too much.

You got the better bottle in my opinion. I liked 3 much more than 2.
Quoted from DBLM:A little Bookers Shiny Batch to ease into the evening. . And to settle the controversy for green-machine, I poured two fingers, and then measured it with my jigger. In that glass, two fingers is about 6.5 ounces.

Heck of a pour!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I prefer the dull stuff
I see you drinking all shiny bourbon choices 
Quoted from beergut666:You got the better bottle in my opinion. I liked 3 much more than 2.
This tastes to me like a good batch of Bookers. I like it but I remember batch 2 being transcendent. But who knows, it’s so hard to compare and contrast whiskey without doing a side by side or a blind.
Edit: Still working on that 17 yr WT @beergut666. It’s a guy in my bourbon club who I haven’t seen for a while but am giving some RR samples to which may light a fire under his butt.

Curious to get your thoughts on the 3. I have the 2 and it is tremendous. Big fan of it.
Quoted from SirScott:Will your "jigger" be in the pop-up book? Asking for a friend.
No need to take up space with that when there are so many other thing to pull snd pop up.
Are you working on everybody’s Delta Tau Chi names? You are rush chairman.
Quoted from beergut666:Got my B520 today, probably gonna wait to crack it til the weekend though. The store I got it from also had a few bottles of Russell's Single Barrel Rye, I'll end up going back for one of those since the Rare Breed Rye has yet to drop here.

Love to hear the reviews on Rare Breed Rye.
Looks like it’s popping up in our area. Might try to get find it tomorrow

Passed on a bottle of this just north of Antioch last weekend.
Quoted from DBLM:Curious to get your thoughts on the 3. I have the 2 and it is tremendous. Big fan of it.
It’s got a really sharp pepper note that stays through the finish that really makes it drink like a 130 plus proofer. After two pours it actually reminds me more of a good Knob Creek store pick than Bookers. It’s good but totally different from what I remember of ch. 2 which tasted nothing like anything I’d ever had from the Beam/Bookers/KC lineup.
2 has that cinnamon vanilla flavor that is a little warm on the tongue but finishes smooth. I really do get the Canadian whisky flavor with it. I agree, it tastes like nothing else in the family.
F it. Been sitting on this for a while but figured tonight was a good as night as any. Knob Creek 25th Anniversary. 122 proof barreled in 2004. Has a cinnamon KC flavor up front and a super smooth finish. One of the best Beam products I have ever had. I don’t know how to describe the bouquet other than warm. Really something special here. Highly recommended.
