Amazing photo, with the Big Bang Bar and Dragon's Lair. Well done. Once this Covid thing has passed, I'll be over.

Quoted from Green-Machine:I bought a new house today so I have a place to put my pins! How stupid is that LOL
So much smarter than making a place in my house to squeeze in a few more.

You make that 2700 mile trip and I'll make it a game night you won't forget.

Let me be the second person to invite myself over to Fulltiltfest 2020. I’ll bring a couple nice bottles and a tent.
Quoted from Green-Machine:So what’s your take on the granny’s batch? It’s one of the hottest bookers I’ve had
I'm really enjoying the first glass. Vanilla, burnt sugar, and wood. This stuff is viscous, it's like it's sticking to the glass. It does have a noticeable burn, but I can't remember a batch of Booker's that I've had that didn't. I kind of assume it going in because I feel the same about most of the higher proof stuff that comes from Beam.
Quoted from Chisox:Another nice haul! And we’re just gonna ignore the Melvins album behind the bottles? Houdini fucking rules!
I've been pretty tame all week, so it's on tonight, pulling out the big guns first. I'll get through Houdini and Stoner Witch before the lady of the house makes an appearance and it has to get toned down a bit. I'm thinking "Holy Mountain" from Sleep, or maybe some old Black Sabbath records. Who knows, it may get real weird later and I'll throw on some Ween in your honor, thinking "Chocolate and Cheese."

Yeah it’s about to get weird over here. RIP batch 1 KO, you were a great pour.

It's definitely got that roasted nut flavor for sure, another tell tale sign of a high proof Beam product. Without having them side by side, I'd still give the edge to Country Ham.
I switched over to Four Roses single after the first glass of the Booker's, talk about two different ends of the spectrum. Lots of fruit and honey with this one, and much more mild all across the board. The music took a turn as well, this Colemine Records Soul Slabs compilation is slamming in here right now.

Nice. I never did (yet) end up pulling the trigger on the Soul Slabs. I did piece most of it together on various streaming apps and it’s fantastic.

I've got both of the Soul Slabs comps, highly recommended. I've got a bunch of the Colemine 45's that they have put out too, I'm definitely a fan of Soul music.
IMG-0200 (resized).jpgcongrats on the new house Green-machine!
How many will you be able to fit?
Also, lots of nice bourbon scores for the crew lately! loving that.
I found what I think is an almost ideal new bourbon cabinet.
Appears to be a wine locker from an upscale restaurant.
Unfortunately about 8 inches too wide, so putting in the spot it would go in the kitchen would mean I lose 1 kitchen pinball machine from the line up...
Not sure that is the right trade off.

You guys are moving again?

Granny’s to me is very peanut forward. To be honest I’ve never pick up on the peanut profiles until the bottle of Granny’s batch.

Now that is a liquor cabinet! Thanks, not quite sure yet, definitely not as many as you have 
. I’m guessIng 10 pins
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:You guys are moving again?
Yes sir! We thought the place we are in would be our last purchase but things have gotten cramped during this stupid virus
Quoted from Green-Machine:Looks like hand sanitizer
Yup, distilled less than 5 miles from our warehouse. And we are not even in that business- usually

The day I put a pinball machine in the kitchen will be the day I get a divorce. (:
Quoted from Fulltilt:The day I put a pinball machine in the kitchen will be the day I get a divorce. (:
Haha, kitchen Paragon and kitchen Flash Gordon are some of my faves...would be sad to have one less in the kitchen, but the trade off of easier access to the bourbon might be worth it....

Man there are only 2 things worse than moving. Drywall work and painting.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Man there are only 2 things worse than moving. Drywall work and painting.
Just thinking about mudding and taping drywall pisses me off. Fortunately my wife doesn't mind painting so when that happens the only thing it bothers is the bank account.
Quoted from mjsbowl:Is the uncut smoke wagon worth the $70 tag? Traditionally buy only Kentucky Bourbon so I am a little skeptic. There is a local place that has it.
I also for the most part am a Kentucky/Tennessee purist when it comes to my bourbon and whiskeys. I'm telling you this stuff is absolutely wonderful. Matter of fact I had all kinds of sweet dreams about that shit last night 
No dice on the Mic Drop. Guy said he sold the rest of it about 2 weeks ago. I did pick up the Willet and a nice Makers store pick.
Sadly, could not go into the store. They had a table by the door and you tell them what you want and they bring it to you. Was limited by what I could see and get them to look up. Anybody else have this setup?

Damn! I'm really wanting to try that Mic Drop if anyone can score a bottle of it send me a PM and we can work something out.

PM sent
Quoted from Whysnow:is the bowler done?
Dude I have been working my ass off on it. It is so filthy dirty and so gunked up it is taking a lot of time but I will get it done. The ball bowler is my Grail machine and I gotta make sure I don't cut any corners with it.
Quoted from SirScott:Today's haul. Go ahead Matt, lay it on.[quoted image]
Holy cow Scott you must be planning on making a shitload of margaritas
Quoted from SirScott:Today's haul. Go ahead Matt, lay it on.[quoted image]
I approve of this most vigorously! We are rapidly getting to margarita weather.
Quoted from Whysnow:Is the bakers 7 worth picking up?
I loved the 13 from chisox
I’m not crazy about it. It always seemed really young to me. Actually- I don’t think I’ve had it since they changed it from a 6 yr. So I’m just gonna shut up lol. I’d like to know how the 7 is too.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Man there are only 2 things worse than moving. Drywall work and painting.
I’m a painter, I’m used to it! Lol
Quoted from Whysnow:Assuming my mailing supplies arrive this week, then these will ship by Friday.[quoted image]
Whooohooo!!!
Quoted from Whysnow:Is the bakers 7 worth picking up?
I loved the 13 from chisox
It's better than the old Bakers but I don't think I would buy it again. Now that 13yr Bakers is freaking fantastic it fits my taste profile to a T!
We been having a bit more fun here since self isolation started up 
I like rowans. Nothing special but solid.
Quoted from ZAuxier:So, I can't really say that I'm as IN to bourbon as many of the folks on this thread - but wondering what the consensus is on this stuff? Did a blind taste test against one of my baselines, Elijah Craig, and I honestly think I like the Craig better?[quoted image]
I've actually never tried that one
Quoted from Green-Machine:Whooohooo!!!
How far you moving from your current place?
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:How far you moving from your current place?
Don’t laugh! One mile...... ha
Quoted from kcZ:Cheapest stuff in the cabinet tonight, boys.[quoted image]
I've got a bottle sitting downstairs I keep meaning to crack open and try
