Wow- that's 18 distilleries. I was half-lit after visiting just 2. Of course, my husband was driving and kept giving me his. I think I'd need 3 days to do a meaningful analysis of 18 bourbons - or 2 for less meaningful, but just as fun. Ha!That Lulvil offer is the best ive ever heard on here.
when i do trips now, i need more than just football...not that football isnt reason enough, just i need a lot of arrows to get it approved by management.
just projecting, but that weekend might be the 1st one after my son's SuperBowl, provided they make it. so at minimum its likely a free week, maybe the 2nd.
if the Giants are away, this will be right in my crosshairs...

Even though they recently removed the age statement, EC is quite possibly the best value bourbon on the planet. Absolutely delicious. I just bought another Barrel proof bottle as well.
Gary, you need to join us at the Louisville game. A Friday Bourbon Tour is planned.Even though they recently removed the age statement, EC is quite possibly the best value bourbon on the planet. Absolutely delicious. I just bought another Barrel proof bottle as well.
I recommend slightly shaking the bottles prior to opening and letting the first pour breath for 10+ minutes. I have bought some expensive and hyped up bottles and was disappointed on the first pour. I have learned that things settle in the bottle and open up to some oxidation. This happened when I first poured Blanton's (similarly bought at a premium) and thought I got catfishedGot two bottles of Blanton's today. Paid a premium for them but I've never tried it and my birthday is coming up.
I'll have to try that! I like wheaters. Plus, this being local...This is good if you want a good wheated bourbon for around $40:

When I plan to have something really good that I'm not going to drink much of, I like to have a serving of one of my standbys first to prime the tastebuds. It kind of wakes them up and makes the good stuff taste really special.I recommend slightly shaking the bottles prior to opening and letting the first pour breath for 10+ minutes.

So that race on Jan 9th Bohemian Bourbon finished 4th. Today he runs in the 7th race which is another stakes race at Santa Anita worth $200000. It will be his 3rd straight race coming out of the one hole. I'm going ATB with him today at 20-1 morning odds. I'm feeling pretty good after that basketball game and want to celebrate.Bohemian Bourbon running in the 9th race feature at Santa Anita today. He's a long shot but I boxed him with the two favorites so we will see.
JesusHow in the hell am I just finding this thread.. I’m a bourbon collector. Somewhere around 175 bottles and approx $40K value on hand currently. Happy to answer any questions anyone has.
