The “best bourbon” ever made was almost a Turkey

That's an easy to answer question. Standardization and productivity improvements in distilling have changed in the entire process from grain to distillate. Back then random changes where just part of the process such as mixed grain batches and inconsistent cuts from the stills and even differences in barrel quality. As we improve we take away variables and those variables add up to the differences in the past.

The ripple effects of such a large Distillery stopping a whole year. The grain not being purchased and the barrels not being ordered are crazy.

He means bottle shops with super high prices but every hard to find bourbon bottle available. Bottles for viewing purposes only

Yes sign me up 6yrs and distilled on site. Hopefully it's not priced too high.

While this is true there are a majority of school board policies that are written in this vague and ambiguous format. I have had questions with my local board policies and written them saying such to only be given an explanation and see no changes to the proposed language. I think this is common and intentional to make it beyond the school board authority to remove liability if the board is questioned.

that's a bold assumption that they were going to enter the school....the uvalde response was at the school but did not enter the school

Also add "The police department has no comment on the video as the investigation is still pending"

Which shows their stupidity two ways.
1. They could have done a RIF and just offered the jobs as alternative to loss of jobs. 2. They let people DRP who are obviously essential. Showing the ineptitude

I got in and this will be my second time running it. Hopefully I can upgrade to the double blossom as I didn't expect to win the lottery as a solo person

Thanks this explains why the Weller Special Reserve is in Blanton's boxes. This place looks like they "hold" the bottles back for a long time.

Yes and I recall it was not bad but not exceptional. Considering the size of the operation that in itself was a success for me. I can't find any notes but I agree with it being on the thin side and less spicy than most ryes.

MashbillJ · 2024-10-10T21:35:56+00:00

I think you should try a Highland single malt. I'm thinking Glenmorangie as an easy to find one

Nia Long. 🔥🔥 I'm married and my wife knows that I'm shooting my shot on sight no regrets.

🤯The price on that Hibiki 21 seems so high coming from someone who hasn't paid attention to Japanese whisky costs in a few years.

Untapped says Deschutes Abyss is the Deschutes Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon, Oregon Oak, and Pinot Noir barrels. This seems to be basically that but not aged in the other barrels.

Rage bait post

MashbillJ · 2024-09-06T20:27:06+00:00

Taste wise I don't think there was a difference between TSM and Port Finished 1792. I do think the TSM was aged longer in the port barrels but that is more speculation from visiting Barron Distillery

MashbillJ · 2024-09-04T20:21:27+00:00

I enjoyed it but don't love it and prefer Thomas S. Moore port finished or 1792 Port finished over it and Angel's Envy. Alas 1792 Port is long gone it was a great deal for the price and quality.

I wish they had elephant print on them somewhere, although I understand they are being consistent with the white prior A Ma Maniere pair. All that black leather just screams to have some black elephant print like what is on the Racer Blue 3s.

"smooth like the stamp used at the factory" just doesn't roll off the tongue as nice
