    I picked this up on the string recommendation from a friend in one of my bourbon groups. It’s supposed to be Wild Turkey distilled. I have a sample of 16yr Buff Turkey (Wild Turkey that was distilled at BT) that I want to do a side by side with. 
    Looking forward to your thoughts!

    Yep-CHEETO has hosed up the cross-border economy and so much more.  The more your PM and others throw it back the more CHEETO gets twisted up in his Art of Hosing the Deal.  
    Xi is playing him as is Putin, Erdogan and others.

    Life is too short for light/lite beer and way too short for NA beer unless required by the environment.  
    Hoping just an experiment.  Dry January is next year!

    higher up in this thread I think I also took the Guinness 0 plunge.  It's  .... not bad.... better than many stouts, but not as good as the "full impact" Guinness.

    What did you think John?

    I thought it was really pretty good as far as these things go.  Not quite the “revelation” that @CPFC1905 declared it to be, but perhaps his point of reference is more pedestrian than I thought.

    That’s a good point.  It might also need to be paired with some bangers and mash.

    I would appreciate your assessment of the 16 yo @MasterC.  I see the 14, 15 and 16 yo readily available.  I have had the 14 yo...They are quite proud of the 16.
