Quoted from Fulltilt:Use your own UPS account and have the box labeled and ready to ship.
I've never had the UPS store ask anything other than, "would you like a receipt?"
Well, there's that, too...lol
I like to think of Rube Goldberg as an inspiration.
Happy Thanksgiving guys!
Got to try some good bourbon today at a place called Dry 85. Really enjoyed the Booker’s 30th Anniversary. I also tried the Michter’s 10 yo, and although it was decent, I did not think it warranted the price.
Quoted from Whysnow:Mine just showed up! So excited to open it and sample in a bit!!!
Well what did you get?
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well what did you get?
Just opened it. Super excited to sample it! I did not even know they offered a 12year.
Heading out tonight but plan to make this my turkey day drink.
666F721A-4BF8-4CDD-84FE-7799A4C0CAC1 (resized).jpegOk. F it. One quick sample before I head out seems fair.
Nice nose with some heat on the front end
Nice mellow front and mid which had a heavy char (nice).
Back end is a solid hug but not over powering and the chat stays with the mouth feel which I enjoy. It has all the knob base characters but a bit more smooth in transition that likely comes from the age.
thanks again Santa. The guests on turkey day will enjoy this also!

Definitely didnt live up to the expectations I had for it thats for sure. The weller antique is hands down way better than this bottle. I was so displeased with this bottle that I actually sent their customer service an email stating my unhappiness.[quoted image]
I agree and also did not like the green bottle by them at all, too light and maybe bec it’s wheat more based, just not for me at all.
Quoted from Jackontherocks:I agree and also did not like the green bottle by them at all, too light and maybe bec it’s wheat more based, just not for me at all.
Now the green bottle I really enjoy and is a solid go to for me. You are correct though that its a wheat based bourbon which I've found people either like it or hate it. Thats why its so hard to suggest bourbons to people cause what I like others may hate.
Quoted from TKDalumni:Thank you dblm ! Great way to start off Thanksgiving eve First time trying and enjoying it very much. Pretty complex with just the right amount of heat.[quoted image]
Nice. I've been meaning to tey thst one have heard good things bout it

Glad you like it, @tkdalumni! I am loving the McKenna I received from you. It looks like you have a great view to enjoy the beverage. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of the rest of the guys!
I am drinking Makers and watching Predator with my daughter, I contend that it is a Thanksgiving movie because if you survive the Predator, you have a lot to be thankful of! The transfer is in 4K HDR and you would never believe this movie is 30 plus years old. We just put DefInitive Technology speakers in the ceiling for Atmos support as part of the remodel so you hear bullets bouncing around everywhere. This makes me want a real Predator pinball so bad!
Quoted from Fulltilt:Trying to put together that Thanksgiving table selection... Can't decide...
This is it!
Now to confirm the food menu.
Come on by... Happy Thanksgiving!
Quoted from Whysnow:Thanks Santa!!!!!
Glad you liked it. Like I said in the letter-came very highly recommended. Not usually a knob guy, but I knew you’d love the 12 yr.
Enjoy.
Of course the guy running the SS knew who had him, so that’s why I’m speaking freely about it.
Everyone keep yours secret!!!
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Up at my parents and my Dad has had this bottle for many years. I have had every sip and love it. Can’t find it at all out here and posted before every time I am up here.[quoted image]
Rock Hill Farms is absolutely wonderful but is another bottle that has seen its price go through the roof.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:This is how I do my black friday shopping.[quoted image]
did they have more than 1?
also, how much was that one?
one of my favs!
Quoted from Whysnow:did they have more than 1?

No it was only one bottle per person and was $199
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:No it was only one bottle per person and was $199
That is a gift $)
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:No it was only one bottle per person and was $199

Quoted from TKDalumni:Anyone come across this Michters toasted rye? Can’t find here is Socal
[quoted image]
Never seen it. Michters is stepping up their game here recently.
Quoted from t8tony8t:Anyone score any Goose Island Bourbon County yet?[quoted image]
Didn't try this year. Ended up with a lot from the last few years and haven't been going through it much.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:This is how I do my black friday shopping.[quoted image]
Man you’re on a roll lately, nice score.
Quoted from Chisox:Man you’re on a roll lately, nice score.
I got really lucky. The store attendant would hand you one bottle and there was 1 bottle left of the EC18 on the table. There was some girl in front of me in line yapping on the phone to her boyfriend about which one to buy. The attendant got pissed at her and asked me which one I wanted and then handed me the bottle. Was quite amusing because she then said thats the one I wanted and the guy told her next time stay off the phone. Lmao all the way up to the cashier.

Only at bars, I’ve never seen it in the wild. Great stuff.
Quoted from t8tony8t:Anyone score any Goose Island Bourbon County yet?
That's the new LTG brand. You'll find it at your local Twin Cities, MN location.
Quoted from t8tony8t:Anyone score any Goose Island Bourbon County yet?[quoted image]

Lots is ssanta packages should be arriving.
Reminder to please post up once it arrives and let your Santa know you got it
Quoted from Forum-ninja:Batch 9 vrs batch12,READY,BATTLE! ‘Steve Ritchie voice,ha ha.[quoted image]
Not sure how you could go wrong with either of em. Definitely one of my favorites for sure.
Ok i'm really becoming a believer in these store barrel picks. Of course the last one I bought was from the same store so maybe the guy just has an amazing fucking pallet I don't know. Did a side by side comparison and not only do they smell different but the store pick was a bit oakier and smoother. All in all they both are yummy but store pick wins hands down.

Those kind of nights are always a good time. Clearly you have no kids though so enjoy that shit now cause it will be a thing of the past when the kiddos arrive on the scene.

We are blended. 4 kids. They are all away with the other parents, so yeah we do enjoy times like this. Up next is pinball once we solve this damn case!

Well, you've piqued my interest. A local store had some cases of their pick out on the floor yesterday. I didn't grab one, I had already bought a Henry Mckenna Single Barrel earlier in the day. Between their two locations they probably got 100 bottles each so there should be plenty, and I'll get one later in the week.

I will be the 1st to admit I used to think it was a gimmick and to a degree still believe it is. What i mean by that is if the person picking th barrel has shitty taste then u end up with a crappy store pick. Luckily the guy i've bought these last 2 picks from has good taste cause they have both been excellent.

Damn. Mine are all under 8 and wont let mommy and daddy do jack shit. Lucky for me they do all love the shuffle alley and playing pinball.
