    Not "NOW" but last evening with a light supper, Conecuh sausage with mustard, Mount Olive kosher dill spear sliced length wise, in a Martin's Hoagie Roll. Beer is from an Orlando, Florida brewery. https://orangeblossombrewing.com/our-story

    The bourbon horse sh*t continues.    Just stopped in my local shop (I've known the owner for years) for a bottle of EC Small Batch and when I was checking out he had a bottle of Blanton's and a bottle of Eagle Rare behind the counter.

    Asked how much for the Blanton's and he said $200.   I called him a moron for pricing it so high but he said he had to buy $1700 of "bad" scotch just to be allocated 1 bottle of Blanton's.   

    He also had a bottle of Eagle Rare that he wanted $90 for.   I told him that he sold me that exact same bottle 3 yrs ago for $26 and he just shrugged his shoulders.

    Glad I only gave $30 for the EC...I'm sure next time it will be $45...maddening.

    It seems like the trick is to find a bourbon you really like that’s cheap that nobody else knows about and then for God’s sake don’t tell anyone about it.

    Doesn't have a name, but it's what I had.

    Luxardo Cherries, simple syrup, and some lime zest.


    I had a couple of those tonight at a client dinner, or an amalgamation of that.

    Awaiting this via someone today. It’s like a cocktail in a glass with just a Luxardo cherry and maybe a little ice

    I have a nice bottle from Barrel.  I really like it.  Might have to try this.

    Don't tell your problems to people.  80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

    @TechsasJim I find it to be a good pour and especially at the price point and availability. 
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    After extensive research I have decided a red solo cup is the best container for drinking bourbon slushies.


    Agree, only slight hiccup is it’s not as photogenic as other vessels.

    Pour of Makers Mark Private select that a local bourbon club did early this year. It’s called Chocolate Covered Pretzels and is delicious.

    Ha, I had ankle surgery earlier this week to fuse a joint so I'm on crutches for the next 6-8 weeks. I'm going to be doing more drinking than cooking the next few weeks.
