Cool way to repurpose the bottles. That's a good spread, tasty and functional. hahaha

So long as you're not drinking when reloading........lol. I'm a pretty consciousness reloader, take a lot of QC steps to make sure I don't have an accident. It's easy to get distracted and have a mistake.

Seen this news story about the Buffalo Trace distillery getting flooded. Looks pretty bad. Might affect availability. May have to buy a couple spare jugs.

High water levels, flooding closes Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort after heavy rains

Drone footage captured buildings, including the Buffalo Trace Distillery, submerged in floodwaters after heavy rainfall pummeled Frankfort, Kentucky.

My personal favorite to sip on is Basil Hayden either the basic Straight or the Toast.

For sure, I didn't doubt you for a second.

I hate that they are dealing with that. Also bummed it may affect the allocation availability. If it's not one thing......am I right?

Not bad juice. A little underproof than what I normally go for. Have you had the dark Rye?

In fact, am having one right now! This is some good stuff imho. I have quite a few to choose from including Whiskey from across the pond on the right and the left lol. Some here call it Scotch.

Also, looking at my latest shipment from Colt I picked up at my FFL. This is very appropriate to look at nice firearms while sipping/abiding in the good stuff! This one is a shooter and will be carried at the ranch in NM. Have lots of Colt's and most are CCS and more than a few are engraved and or one of a kinds. It is good to know people lol.

I may have to pick up a bottle. Can’t really talk about something I’ve not tried. Ask my wife, I’m always ready to buy a bottle. Hahah.

Guilty I am “scotch” surfer. What’s your favorite bottle?

Right now without getting into the 2k to 4k bottles which it hurts to drink you may find this odd...

Looks like a good one. I really enjoy the Japanese whiskey. A lot of scotch foundation to it. Masataka Taketsuru knew what he was doing when he created it. Great story if you’re into the history of Japanese whiskey. I’ll have to find that bottle.

THAT is the only problem. It has gotten so popular that the price has really gone up the last few years not to mention highly allocated.

For sure! Allocations are annoying although fun to finally find a bottle that you’ve been looking for. All these places around me get their allocation at like 2:00pm on a Wednesday and it’s all gone by 3:00pm. I’m over this working nonsense.

Wish you luck on this one. I am in the DFW area near the Airport and the smaller stores hardly ever get any. The Goody Goody, Spec's and Total Wine get a few now and then.

The Goody Goody store that is close to me has my number, lol to call when they get some in!

That’s what I need is more relationships with the local stores.

I was looking at my bourbon cabinet last night and realized maybe I favor Heaven Hill Distillery. I got a bottle of Larceny barrel proof. It does not disappoint. I have all kinds of bottles from them. There is an Old Fitzgerald tasting at our local spot this weekend, with the chance to pick up a couple of bottles, I'm a little bummed we aren't going to be able to go.

I look at my bourbon cabinet ever single day and realize that I favor all of it.

There certainly is no bottle that I don't like and I have a pretty diverse selection, but I also have 20 bottles of Heaven Hill in one shape or form.

Well Said.

Well Said.

I can't remember when I first heard that saying, but it always makes my think of Jack Nicholson's character in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. That is a classic film!
