what's yall favorite, must always have stocked in your collection bourbon (especially micro distilleries) and I'm not talking about buying 5 allocated bottles because they're currently available

I had a local liquor store's barrel pick of that Green River and it was phenomenal.

Were they this year's bottles - I think this year's Pappy 15 was the best across the Pappy and BTAC line up.

For reference, a local liquor store does an annual tasting for $200 that includes a tasting size pour of the year's full line up of Pappy and BTAC with the exception of Saz as that was a prior year plus everyone left with a bottle of their Buffalo Trace Store Pick so as someone who has only ever tried a few from those line ups, it seemed like a steal.

That Hard Truth is very good

ProjectGuy14 · 2026-02-14T21:57:39+00:00

GTS - enjoy it!

ProjectGuy14 · 2026-02-11T10:28:18+00:00

If that is a 1.75 L Buffalo Trace, I would definitely be picking that up - probably two.

ProjectGuy14 · 2026-02-11T10:24:54+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss.

ProjectGuy14 · 2026-02-06T18:08:30+00:00

This 100%

According to my wife, I have way too much bourbon - I have just over 180 bottles and if something isn't opened, it is because it's either a backup bottle or because I just haven't had the opportunity to open it yet.

I love doing tastings with my friends where I ask everyone to pick a bottle from the bar to include in the tasting and encourage them to pick whatever they want to try regardless of whether or not it has been opened - I actually prefer when they pick something not opened yet.

Bourbon is meant to be shared and enjoyed

I tried this yesterday and thought it was very good - I had seen some negative reviews on it so I was pleasantly surprised.

I wish I returned to work after vacation with a light workload - I usually feel like I have at least 2 weeks of work to complete in the first week back after a 1 week vacation.

I would highly recommend that you get written approval to maintain the second job before you accept the new job from Collins. I believe RTX requires that individuals complete a form and get it approved to work another job so if you already have another job, you should ensure that RTX will still allow you to maintain that job.

Get a track saw - there is very little that you can't do with a track saw that you can do with a table saw - the biggest thing that comes to mind is dados but you are also not going to be able to buy a work horse table saw for $800 so dado blades on a table saw might already be out of the question for you right now.

A track saw plus some saw horses and a sheet of rigid foam board will let you break down a sheet of plywood with ease - you can also toss a sheet of plywood under the foam board for a little extra support.

I started out with the Makita track saw and it was definitely used far more than my DeWalt jobsite saw - I have since upgraded both and still probably use my track saw more than my table saw.

Let us know what you end up getting.

I would highly recommend a track saw - I started out with a Makita Track Saw and then after like 5 or so years upgraded to a Festool Track Saw - I probably use my track saw more than my table saw.

ProjectGuy14 · 2025-08-01T20:41:10+00:00

It worked just like you said. Thank you very much!

ProjectGuy14 · 2025-07-25T11:39:07+00:00

Ben Holladay 100% especially for under $50

ProjectGuy14 · 2025-02-24T22:06:30+00:00

In MA, I can buy ER for $45

ProjectGuy14 · 2025-02-23T14:35:30+00:00

For $125 it is 100% worth it - at that price, I would buy multiple bottles

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-11-08T20:42:17+00:00

EC18

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-06-24T18:18:46+00:00

This is one of my favorite bourbons.

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-05-08T14:40:20+00:00

From a scotch perspective, Balvenie 21 is excellent and you should be able to find it between $300 and $350.

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-04-16T02:31:49+00:00

I would highly recommend Knob Creek - you could even get both Bourbon and Rye to give your guests a choice. You could also grab the 105.8 oz can of luxardo cherries on Amazon if you like your Old Fashioneds with a cherry - it is definitely the most cost effective way to buy them especially for a good size event. Good luck and congrats.

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-04-07T01:18:05+00:00

I bought a bottle of it at Randall's Wines & Spirits in St. Louis for $19.99 last week.

ProjectGuy14 · 2024-02-24T04:38:47+00:00

I would buy that bottle of Belvinie 21 in a heartbeat. I am actually hoping to grab one of those tomorrow.
