    Bird Watchers

    Latest group of birds around the feeders. The Bluejay has been absent for a month or so, but showed back up again yesterday. A very rare sighting for us at the feeders of a White Throated Sparrow and the Junco's are back and settling in for the upcoming winter months.

    Eagle Rare vs Russell's Reserve single barrel

    Completely agree on the Four Roses. I was definitely surprised when someone suggested I pick that up, but they were spot on. And there are others that are equally as good or better than some of the outrageously priced "collectors" bourbons. One I found recently that is one of my go-to's (if...

    My apologies if I did. I was going through my photos and liked the shots. Wanted to share them with my brothers on CP!!! BTW - my son was married Friday evening and the venue where it was held had a strong connection to BT. I was stunned to find EH Taylor Barrel Strength Rye behind the...

    Buffalo Trace Distillery - Frankfort, KY. Did a tour a few weeks ago, and caught some great shots. The barrels are located in Warehouse C - and are the best of the best in the warehouse (EH Taylor, Pappy's, etc).

    A bit of photoshop tickery I just learned... Loving the result.

    Just picked up a Nikon mirrorless and happy to report it is pretty amazing. First photo I took with it. Look forward to many more!

    Eagle Rare vs Russell's Reserve single barrel

    I'd take Wellers, EHT or Eagle Rare any day over the Blanton's - and all of them are cheaper... I did get a bottle of Blanton's while there - and the little 1 oz. mini Blanton's bottles (that were on sale) so that I could split them the Blanton's up with some friends. All were thrilled to...

    Eagle Rare vs Russell's Reserve single barrel

    I had a bottle of the Blanton's Gold - and it was no doubt a bit better than Blanton's. But the price versus what it was - and the supposed scarcity - does not really seem to me to be worth the $$$ or hype. A great bottle of bourbon for the $70/80ish range - but $150? 🤔 I've had a lot of...

    Eagle Rare vs Russell's Reserve single barrel

    You should have seen the line at the Buffalo Trace distillery when people were given the chance to purchase one bottle of Blanton's (and only one bottle every 90 days). It was CRAZY. Thought they were giving away free Lamborghini's! 🤣

    Had a blast visiting BT distillery. Had to visit 4 times this weekend to build out collection! And the lines waiting for Blanton's was SICK!!!

    Eagle Rare vs Russell's Reserve single barrel

    ER has its place, but I am mystified why it is so allocated. And I sure as hell will not pay over MSRP for it. That's insane. But I would love to get my hands on EHT Rye - that is one of my absolute favorite rye whisky's. I hate paying over MSRP, but there's no getting around that. I just...

    Photos from this past weekends trip to Louisville, KY. Enjoyed visiting Whiskey Thieves and Buffalo Trace distilleries: Mural on the side of one of Buffalo Trace's buildings. Buffalo Trace's bottom floor of "Warehouse C" (where all of the best BT product it aged). These barrels are...

    Nate update

    Glad to hear he's doing well enough to Google the cigars he's been sent! Thanks for the update.

    The most fun you can have without doing anything.

    I bought a generator a few years back because we had lost power for nearly a week. Had to drive a couple hours away to pick it up (all the generators in my area were sold out immediately). It's the best investment I've ever made - because now that I own one, we no longer have power outages...

    Down the street grabbed some great shots of the Egret that hangs around.
