Frankfort, IL
Quoted from djreddog:Same liquors or different ones?
Same with maybe an addition or two. Big silver box from when I saw it last weekend. Costco’s in MD don’t have a liquor section or sell bottles but these are just in the seasonal food section.
Quoted from Chisox:I don’t mean to keep flexing with these bottles but further evidence to join all the local whiskey pages/clubs you can. Paid more than retail but still got a good deal. I really need to stop buying this stuff, but it’s so damn delicious.[quoted image]
How do I go about finding local clubs?
Quoted from Whysnow:How do I go about finding local clubs?
Facebook/Instagram to start. Madison is one of the coolest towns in the country, there has to be multiple whiskey societies/clubs up there. Go to bars with good whiskey and chat up the bartenders and/or your local liquor stores. When you do private barrel selections it needs to be distributed to a local liquor store or bar. You’ll be holding that OF Birthday Bourbon before you know it.
In addition ro the straight bourbon, Woodinville whisky company makes a few other varieties as well.
I really like this bourbon finished in port casks. The nose has notes of cherry and raisin among other fruits, and the taste is rich, deep, fruity and very sweet. The burn is long and suitably strong but mellow. Tasty!

Pretty sure i'm the last guy on the planet who isn't on any social media sites so I guess i'm not getting in on any of the facebook specials.

thanks for the tips.
There are only 2 local Fbook clubs and they are dead sadly 
I will checkout insta and see what I find.

Second to last guy. Pinside is the closest to social media I’ll ever get.

Count me in the no social media group as well.
Whoever sent me the last request for the weller full proof i'm sorry to report all I had is gone and my 2nd source is also all out. Sorry I accidentally deleted your pm and couldn't remember who sent me it. I get a lot of requests for bottles and sometimes I lose track of who asked for what.

I too am one of the few. We should start an online club! Oh, wait...
I sell analytics software to the government and had at one point a team of data scientists that worked for me that I would sell their services. When you see what people can do with data and social media it will make you never want to do social media. Case in point, with about 7 FB postings algorithms can determine race, sex, creed, political leanings, sexual orientation, income levels, etc.
Just remember, when you don’t pay for a product, you are the product.

Thats the exact reason I don't participate in that shit. It's absolutely amazing to me the info people will voluntarily give to these social media companies.
I'm noticing a theme here. Middle aged men drinking heavily, playing pinball, and not on social media. A data scientist could have a field day on us!

Quoted from Green-Machine:Anyone going to the Texas Pinball Festival in March?
To see the DeepRoot games again?!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:It's not always bourbon for me, I do love me a good margarita no salt though.[quoted image]
We don't care 'bout no tequila, rum, vodka, or absinthe....
Quoted from Green-Machine:Anyone going to the Texas Pinball Festival in March?
I’m seriously thinking about it. I’ve heard it’s the best show. Plus I get to get out of the worst state in the union and enjoy some warmish weather. Win, win, win!

I’m going to get warm!!
Quoted from MrBally:Tonight is Oak night![quoted image]
Love double oaked! Try Old Forester 1910 if you haven’t yet. It’s double barrelled also and tastes like chocolate caramel ice cream.

These midwest winters just keep getting worse. Hey, I was like 30 minutes away from your town today picking up my daughter from school. Small world.

1910 is Tasty just bought a couple bottles.
Is your Daughter at UD or Miami? Both about 30 minutes away.

Miami
Quoted from Chisox:Speaking of UD I’m predicting Final Four for their b-ball team.
Have you been to UD Arena for playoff games. They host every year. I’m not really into it but it’s a rare treat to be near by to some good college B-ball
Quoted from Green-Machine:It might happen!
Well if we both go to TPF we can have a couple pours and watch the Flyers in the tournament.

I have not but it would be great to visit my daughter then go check out some hoops.
Century whiskey bar is in downtown Dayton. It is a really cool and a century old bar. There is a whiskey bar in Middletown called Bourbon’s. Also in Dayton is Canal street barcade and deli. Pinball and spirits

Old Forester 1910 or 1920...which is better or a better value?
Quoted from swillie:Old Forester 1910 or 1920...which is better or a better value?
1910 all day.

It may have been me. If you find anymore, please let me know.
In regards to the Willett Family bottle: I would be really interested in it. Happy to pay cost+shipping.
I can also get a WP 10yr store pick for cheaper than the normal offering that you had posted. I believe it’s on sale for about $80 right now.
Quoted from swillie:Old Forester 1910 or 1920...which is better or a better value?
1910 Ditto
Quoted from Dantesmark:1910 all day.
Quoted from Green-Machine:1910 Ditto
Have some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket. Have been wanting to try the 1920 after reading great things about it here on this thread, now I have to decide...maybe I should just buy both 
Quoted from TKDalumni:Wouldn’t kick either outta bed but, I enjoy the extra heat of the ‘20[quoted image]
Agreed. At a similar price point, I would go with 1920 for the higher proof.

Well that’s two votes each way. I’m a big fan of higher proof bourbon so 1920 is probably the one. Gotta try both eventually.
