GWG8541 zbigjeff I have a buddy who has become one of those guys who has made “friends” with a manager at his local liquor store and can get the harder to get stuff right now. Some stores just don’t put everything they have out knowing all it takes is one person to come in and buy it all up. Also he has learned that Texas and Kentucky or maybe it was Tennessee(I forget the second state) are the only two states that have the smallest allocation of those harder to get liquors. How true is that, I don’t know. At the end of the day I just don’t care enough to go somewhere enough to sweet talk someone for a bottle of hooch.
HerbcoFood We agree again on the liquor front as to not go out of my way. But, I will buddy up with those that can get me a nice piece of chuck, rib eye roast or pork belly when I need it.

Got my hands on some. Good stuff. Like it better than other Basil Hayden’s I have tried. Drinks a little hotter than expected for an 80 proof IMO which isn’t a bad thing. Definitely happy I snagged a bottle. Thanks for the recc.

Surg You’re welcome. It’s comforting that you had the same experience with the “heat”. Enjoy

Finished the night in style. 🤪

Surg how is it? I’ve been looking for it.

Tex_77 actually this is my first time having it. Read about it for some time but never bought it. Happy I did. It’s actually pretty d@mn good. Probably would’nt start off with it but after a few it finish’s nice. Lingered longer than others I’ve had at this price point. Will definitely buy again when through with this bottle.

Surg From where many other good products started. Never had that one. But, there is a place in my world for that style of spirit.

Had to add some items to the Arsenal yesterday and looked at the calendar and saw that it was getting to be Oktoberfest time. So I just had to pick up a few things to celebrate Oktoberfest and good harvest we got from our garden and still coming!

A possible stampede on the way.
A rare occurrence up this way.

PapaSop You can’t get that up where you live?

Yep. We are allocated 99cs a month. It’s gone within a week just on back orders. Our retailers typically get one case apiece. Luckily I know what stores are getting it.

PapaSop good purchase. Definitely need two of those in case one has a leak and disappears

PapaSop I don’t even pay attention to that stuff unless it somehow ends up in my lap. I did know when BT somehow became popular some liquor stores started to lock it up. Weird seeing middle tier whiskey locked up with the high end stuff.

Bob Stehlik The Uncle Nearest is a pretty good Tennessee sour mash. I haven’t had the other 3 bourbons. Let me know how they are.

HerbcoFood I still think it is a marketing strategy with them. Crazy what people will turn into something its not

I don’t care for that stuff, I get why some people like it from a craze standpoint. When you are the distillery turning out all those boutique bourbons you’d think your own brand would be solid stuff.

GWG8541 Bob Stehlik Same here. Have had both Uncle’s. But, not the other 3.

Yep. 15 years ago it sat and collected dust. Same with Blantons, Eagle Rare, Weller and on and on.

PapaSop Younger brother thinks this is very good, will have to try it next time he shows up with some.

Went into the arsenal and pulled out Smooth Ambler 100 proof Wheated Bourbon to enjoy on the porch last night while puffing on a cigar. I’m no tasting expert. But, to me, it has a hint of cherry and is very smooth for a 100 proof bourbon with one ice cube. Here’s hoping everyone else had a good evening and a better morning.
