    Hoping for a better out come for the Grizz tonight. 


    I can't comment on the game but you will have a great outcome as a stand-alone pour right there.  Sweet bottle.

    Great value pour. I buy whenever I see it. 👍🏻
    Great, something else I need to keep my eyes on.   JK—the more the merrier
    Do you use the Distiller app?  It’s great for checking reviews. Most importantly for me is it allows me to create a list of my inventory and wish lists. 
    No sir I don’t—but I’m about to!   Thanks for the heads up on this.   About to download now.

    Copious apps to help you find your bottles along the way. I’ve got great friends, and drinking cohorts, that have helped me amass quite the collection. SWMBO even started taking drams. I need to kill a few bottles before bringing another into the stable, unless it’s a unicorn

    I keep my extras and unis/allocated bottles in the basement away from my everyday drinkers.  One, so my wife doesn't see that the liquor cabinet is getting full (although she wouldn't care just don't want to listen to the peanut gallery) and two, so that way if I want one of those bottles I have to go get and not just open the liquor cabinet.  Seems to make those bottles last a little bit longer and keeps the mooches away.

    Feels like a game of Follow the Leader.   I’m clearly the follower.

    @TechsasJim wonder if the above was worth around seven times the price point or just a Texas price point/thing?

    @lousubcap, Kentucky Owl is very very good. Is any bottle worth $285? That’s up to the purchaser and the market.

    $4.00 beer.  I might could open a $4.50 beer later.
    Love you bro!

    Follow the Leader is a fun game (at least in bourbon)- count me in! Although last pour is always bittersweet

    I don’t chase the stupid stuff thank goodness.   $285 is msrp—however this bottle was gifted to me, I wouldn’t have dropped that - no way.   Ha!!

    That Espolon is really good tequila for the price point. That's my go to for margs as well.

    Now that’s funny!!    I stopped by Total Wine a bit ago and was not lucky at all—guess that saved me $250.57

    I’m not a tequila drinker but agree it’s great for margs. If I don’t make a marg mixer I like the Tres Agaves as well. Not nearly as sugary as a lot of the premades.

    Just killed my first bottle of driftless glen bourbon from Baraboo WI. It’s the real deal at a very fair price. If you haven’t tried it you should. Has a heaven hill quality to it but I’d say it possibly better than most of their stuff. I cracked the second one and have a third in reserve. My BIL lives up at the Dells area. He keeps me flush with Christmas and birthdays. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you are a bourbon drinker.

    I am actually leaving tomorrow to head up to the Dells for  the weekend.  We have never been up there. I will be keeping an eye out for it.

    I’ve never been, but they apparently have a nice little facility with tasting room and restaurant. I’d check it out if the timing works for you. Enjoy the water parks! They have duck boats and zip lines too.

    Is this a wheat bourbon?

    Think I Cinco de Mayo’d myself last night so trying to right the ship.   (May have made a stupid comment or two-apologies).
