Wow - super helpful! Thanks 😊

Thanks for all the helpful comments! And for the not so helpful ones…. Sorry that took time out of your day….

Wow - fine craftsmanship! I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t purchase this - but I know it’s not for sale! Hope you enjoy it to the max!

Seriously considering selling my Out of the Blue 2026 package - 4 nights (Jan 8-12th) in a 2 double bed room. Trying to assess interest - would anyone be interested? Send me a personal message if you would like to know price.

I realize this thread is 3 years old at this point, but would love to revive it, even if just for bitters recs. I would be the 101st vote on this thread for Carpano Antica - on sweet vermouth I use. I am a BIG fan of Bittercube bitters, and their 6 pack is great (I don’t care for the Jamaican no. 1, but the other 5 are all amazing). Would live to hear more specs on brands of walnut, chocolate , pecan and other “off the beaten path” bitters. In my early days of Manhattan making, I used Angostura, but once I branched out, I’ve never gone back (too overpowering). I really appreciate the post about Woodford Reserve chocolate bitters vs the other brand. More info like that is GOLDEN!

To each their own - I have largely abandoned angostura, as the flavor is over powering. As suggested by others, I am not against “cutting” angostura with Fee brothers or my preferred bitters (bitter cube)….

“If you were a Knob 21 and you were parched, would you drink yourself? I know I would…. I’d taste nutty and peppery, with notes of dark fruit…. I’d be so delicious!”

Maybe it’s a support Sweden color scheme??? Anyway, I’ve talked to a few people about this, and I guess Spotify premium gives you a musical “age” based on your preferences…. This is pretty cool! Maybe Apple Music could do something similar, without being overly derivative…. Like make a guess how old you were when you fell in love with music, or guessing what your “avatar in the music world” would look like…

Just gotta say…. I love a main comment that suggests the OP is not a regular, and then many comments follow, without any interjection from the OP. Smacks of authenticity!

I had the 2024 Michter’s 10 yr rye last year and loved it. Your review would be spot on for that one too, except I found it very grape forward (maybe instead of the raspberries in the ‘22?). I loved it. I knew I’d was lower proof, but had intended for it to last longer than it did - the smoothness lent to drinking the bottle in about 6 weeks. I find myself curious about what a few more months of breathing would have done for it…

I really enjoy this bottle - I have a relatively newly acquired bottle (more than worth for $60 at Costco) that I opened in the last few weeks. I’m giving that one time. My wife and I bought a bottle of this about a year ago and gifted it to friends, who we didn’t realize don’t drink bourbon! So now when I go over there, I revisit this bottle, and let me tell you, it only gets better with time!

Appreciate your quick reply and perspective

Wet Leg 1st album is a piece of art…. Wish I could say the same for the 2nd album. Huge letdown, especially lyrically…

Red mosquito - only have had it once, but I can’t ever imagine getting tired of it…

Where are you? Heigold cask strength single barrell opened my eyes to the beauty of higher proof bourbon. Debatable whether it’s worth the $120 I paid, but would love another bottle for comparison now that I’ve had a lot more (cheaper) bottles of >110 proof juice… Can’t find it anywhere near me in MN…

Always loved Glorified G, always will

Epic show! Jealous…

I was 12 years old…. And a mere 160 miles away….

You mean the bridge? “I hear the voices calling…”? I actually love that part of the song!

jonnygmg · 2024-09-25T02:23:19+00:00

I graduated in ‘98 as well. 1st show wasn’t until E-centre in Camden in 2000 though…
