RyJ Petit Piramides EL '05 after lunch

To me it depends on the price. It's a good pour and at the price point from 5 or so years ago of $129, I felt like it was a good buy. I even found it at a place in Albany, GA for $99. That was a deal! The price increase got pretty stupid recently though. I have seen it for $230 to as much...

Hey Brandon, I'm pretty familiar with Verizon and the feeling among many people there is that it's been downhill for the last 4 or so years. The package they're offering now is pretty outstanding and I doubt they'll offer it again. If you decide to accept, your last day will likely be the end...

What'd you think?

@cigars&coffee did you ever crack this bottle?

Old Fashioned with Old Forrester.

I was suckered by the beautiful woman hawking that trash. Like I said, you live and you learn. To me the bourbon market has gotten stupid. I'll just go back to a few I know won't let me down.

Bird Dog 10. It was really, really bad. After purchasing I notice the label doesn't say "Straight Bourbon". Live and learn...

I have. Damn good..

Surprising to hear that a 25 year old needed to be "smoothed out". That kinda sucks.

Sazerac Rye

Very sorry to hear. He was a really good guy.

Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique. Mighty fine.

All great suggestions. Aberlour and Glendronach are awesome (I'd recommend Aberlour 12 or 16 to a newb over the A'bunadh), as is Glenmorangie. I might add Cragganmore to the mix.

My kids do their homework in the kitchen and we have a Amazon Echo there. When homework starts my wife or I will usually put on Classical like Bach or Beethoven or Verdi or Chopin, or Jazz/Big Band like Gillespie, Ellington, Basie, Miles, or Gershwin.
