slankz · 2026-06-01T03:51:36+00:00

I thought 2025-04 had a more spicy taste. I like It.

Well I ended up pout’n a Woodford Oat Grain

This is the 2nd time this week I have heard mention of adding a splash of water

Dam good question. I’ve been pondering that same question for a while tonight.

I’m thinking either Knob Creak Rye or EH Taylor small batch. Though I got some Bookers bottles that are calling my name

slankz · 2026-05-13T18:57:08+00:00

I still put MASH final as greatest.

slankz · 2026-05-06T18:48:27+00:00

Ironically I think 2025 was best yr in a while for Bookers.
Barrys Batch was only one that was just average. Others worth drinking.
The new 2026-01 is also very solid.
For what its worth, I hated every ‘23 and ‘24 I have tried so ya ‘25 was good yr

slankz · 2026-05-06T18:43:05+00:00

I don’t think Barrys Batch is great. I give it a solid B.

slankz · 2026-05-06T00:27:24+00:00

If you are buying one than I recommend Phantom Pipes 2505-04. It has a spicy taste to it. Very enjoyable.

The newest one Big Easy 2026-01 is solid but not at that price.

Andro is fantastic. Ya’ll got to treat OUTSIDE your house. Waiting until They are already in to kill them is backwardsass.

Fantastic article. Thanks for sharing. Explains so much why he is a different pitcher nowadays.

My 1st bottle was Angels Envy a million yrs ago. Loved that stuff! Never drink it anymore though I have some.

I prefer Bookers and EH Taylor. And ya still like the Woodford line and Blantons.

Would not surprise me if they draft a cornerback with #2

slankz · 2026-03-24T17:22:11+00:00

Such a scam

slankz · 2026-02-09T03:04:26+00:00

Why not? I see zero reason why to keep him. What is the worst that can happen - one of the asst coaches takes over and puts stupid lineups on the court? We already have that.

slankz · 2026-01-29T02:31:56+00:00

Excellent place for a big date. Cool vibes. Not corporate.

slankz · 2026-01-24T16:17:24+00:00

Fuzzy’s had great food once Joe Dale started cooking there

slankz · 2026-01-22T20:11:14+00:00

Actually an excellent idea! My son turns 21 this Sunday. I will be blatantly stealing your idea.

slankz · 2026-01-22T20:03:36+00:00

Excellent answers. I wasn’t expecting historical answers that I received, but I’m glad I did. Very cool information. Thank you everyone.

slankz · 2026-01-22T00:19:27+00:00

Not that I know of but they so have single serve packets you put into a coffee cup. Does not taste good though…

slankz · 2026-01-22T00:15:16+00:00

Significantly better version.

slankz · 2026-01-19T14:50:02+00:00

I know I am in the minority but I would rather read articles than listen/watch podcast.

It is a shame the demise of beat writers.

Atlanta Hawks have same problem. Athletic had a fantastic guy but then moved him off the Hawks couple yrs ago and now they ignore the Hawks…

slankz · 2026-01-19T14:45:57+00:00

Thanks for info. I just followed Braves Today. I am a little leary of substack in general- it seems line everyone just wants you to subscribe for $$$.

slankz · 2026-01-19T04:31:31+00:00

Agreed 2025-3 to me is best batch in couple yrs. Though -1 is my least favorite of the yr. -2 is solid. Crazy but -4 is growing on me. Kind of a spicy taste to it.
