I remember the days you had to chase the distributors truck for a chance to pick up a bottle of Templeton's! And you could volunteer to help bottle the batches and they paid for a days work with a bottle from the batch... Love that they have expanded operations and I can find it without going...

I've had it and its a good scotch. An especially good value for what it is. But it has just a bit too much peat for me. I definitely enjoy it, but there are other Scotches that I'd rather drink. For the money - it's well worth it. But let's just say if I stopped by - what you have in that...

I'm a fan of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-Pape red blend. I'm generally a fan of the Rhone wines, but that particular appellation is special for sure. And the stuff Kirkland bottles is definitely above average at a pretty good price point! Generally the Kirkland labeled alcohol products are...

Ok - so attended the Weller's dinner and we had a great time. The tasting was fantastic, filled with all kinds of information about BT, mash components for the various BT products and some great information the barrel manufacturing and aging process. And - my guardian angel even approved the...

Trust me when I say I do too!!! But I have a very vocal guardian angel perches herself on my right shoulder, wielding a rolling pin, and very vocally reminding me how much I've spent and why it's unwise to upset the balance of the budget... But - my guardian angel has agreed to accompany me to...

Very fond memories of that distillery...

I'd love to ask for a second of just about everything you have in the collection. Which would inevitably lead to a 2nd mortgage on our house within the midst of a very messy divorce... Pretty sure momma would not see the value as I see it. 😔

I cracked it open this weekend and had a pour. It was on the spicy side (barrel proof), but I did note the baking spices you suggest. This is one that I would most definitely add ice to (I do prefer not to dilute my whiskey...) I would not call it my favorite, but it is a definitely nice...

Nice haul today! Tried the triple oak angels envy on a recent trip to Nashville - really enjoyed it. And supposedly the James E Pepper is allocated - but I’ve heard great things so I could not pass on it.

DAYUMMMM... You're a one man crime wave! No wonder I cannot get any of the HTF BT stuff - it's all at your speakeasy!!!

I actually was clued into why room temp is where we should drink alcoholic beverages. My wine mentor told me that to hide the "defects" in wine, it is recommended the wine (mainly white wine) be chilled. I have noticed a significant difference between chilled and room temp white wines. So its...

I have come to appreciate Heaven Hill. I lucked out this year and found a retail bottle (not with the silly markup) of Parkers Heritage. And I really hate that I did - because it is so damn good that I will totally lose it when I drink my last dram of that...

I think you have to go to the Three Floyds factory at their special event to get the Dark Lord. And I'm told they are also crafting a Dark Lord whiskey. I believe they will actually age the whiskey in the Dark Lord barrels. I'm curious having tried the Dead Guy Ale Whiskey. I have to think...

I am as well - with only one complaint. They tend to be a bit heavy on the hops. I love the taste of their hops, but sometimes (especially with Zombie Dust) it's only best when it's cold. I've found that when the beer warms up it is a bit bitter. And beer is really made to be drank at room...

It’s not the biggest distillery we visited - but absolutely worth the time we spent there. Great people and an amazing place to be!

We visited Whiskey Thieves last year while in that area and I took this photo in their warehouse! They produce some damn good hooch! And we loved the taco truck and live entertainment. Great afternoon.

The latest 3 Floyds Whiskey I’ve found - Well of Whispers. It’s a single pot still, single malt whiskey made with grain grown in Indiana. It is then aged 4 years in new oak barrels. Very smooth for a 100 proof. Very bold Vanilla and Carmel on the front end, followed by a subtle honey and toffee...

O I hate to buy ammo and gave it shipped to me in IL. Best way to do it is for me to have it shipped to friends in WI (I live 20 minutes from the border) As far as selling ammo - the best way I’ve found to do it is to sell it at a gun show. Though vendors will definitely low ball you. But - no...

A friend of my did that to me recently with a bottle of Eagle Rare! I feel your "pain"... But I am awfully partial to Whistlepig 12 yr... Hope my friend does not suggest a "rematch" 🤣

I've gotten into not only cleaning, but also modifying my guns - and enjoy that as much as shooting. I think it's truly the best way to get to know your gun literally inside and out. A few years ago I got a fantastic deal from Buds Guns on a brand new Baretta ARX100 (Baretta discontinued it...
