    @TechsasJim depending on where you get them they can pretty much be a meal.  Many places will serve them with a stack of fried chicken, wings, pickles, olives, smoked meat (msm), prawns, etc.

    Picked up my supply of the barrel pick New Riff today. My bar is “full-ish”. Need to start killing bottles to make room for all of the new soldiers that need to join the ranks
    I have not found any Riff around here but eyes are always opened for items like this.   Stellum seems to be the most recent thing to hit our market.   I haven’t had it but a buddy swears by it.

    New riff is somewhat hard to find. Not in TX or LA yet. Not boutique distillery, but definitely not mainstream

    Where are you sourcing yours from?    Trying to figure out where my work travels should take me next - all for the bourbon hunt 😂

    New addition to the tribe- barrel proof (127 proof) but dangerously smooth and slightly sweet ( I assume due to the ice wine barrel aging).   For those in the Louisville area, this is a Barn 8 barrel pick.

    My neighbor bought an entire barrel too, from the old lady across the street  Turns out it was filled with rain water ... but the look on her face when we took it away... probably beats any of the looks on all your faces when I tell you that her face by far,  just by giving us a barrel of friggen rainwater, beats any of the looks on all your faces when I tell ya'll that posting this elitist bull$hit about bourbon pours and boutique distillery's ... would make your father's d!ck take a dirt road straight to heavy pebble foreskin town, and he probably can't afford the pebble removal, or pants that repel pebbles, or pants that somehow make pebbles in your foreskin seem cool and less heavy. My point is this ... you guys obviously have money for pours and things called riffs but not everybody know what they would do if someone called them out about their fathers foreskin pebbles. Maybe I should have started with that ....

    Nothing yet but I prepared simple syrup and honey syrup to make cocktails this afternoon.  Bramble for SWMBO and I am still undecided between Old Fashioned, Gold Rush or Black Ukrainian.

    Gold Rush all the way.  It’s such a good drink, especially when it’s hot out.

    The small batch is easy to come by here in central IL. The other offerings are here too but you need to be at the right store at the right time.

    I don’t know what I was thinking but I made a triple 🤦‍♂️

    Holy h3ll that’s a windfall.    Sandwiched between Sazarac and WT at that.  

    I’d say I live in the wrong place but I don’t, but am clearly envious of the offerings we don’t get here.

    I thought this was fitting.   I’ve started researching my 6.5 Creedmor build and the more I dig the deeper I get…thus the bottle.  

    Happy weekend all!

    6.5 CM is a fun round. I’ve got an AR-10 in that cartridge.

    That’s exactly what I’m leaning toward.   Don’t really think I want bolt, semi would be preferred.

    Plenty of great factory AR-10’s in 6.5. I was going to build my own, but then realized I could get a factory gun for the same money 

    Ive got a Daniels DD5V4. BIL has an LMT MWS.

    I was leaning toward Wilson Combat then got the pucker factor.   Now toying with either a Rebel Yell build or pure custom build (my SIL has his FFL3 so he can do whatever).  

    Rabbit hole.   Ha.

    Picked up a case of my current favorite cider.  Since light beer/water is unappreciated here.

    Now that is sexy.  Glad I’m biding my time, so many options.  

    I played with my SIL’s 308 AR build today, really like it but the AR10 platform is heavy.   Albeit with a 6.5 I would have a sling and most likely not carry too far.   I have time and desire but I’m in zero rush, want to make sure what I get is right the first time.

    Give you all credit to taking a drinking thread to fire arms...I do believe there is enough band-with to accommodate both here without crossing streams.  But to each his/her own.  FWIW-
