Jk, but seriously, that is a lot of Stagg... I used to get it by the case. (Stagg comes or at least used to come in a case of three). You can see some still have their tissue paper wrapper from the distilery. |

| Stopped by my local liquor purveyor about an hour ago. Picked up a bottle of Elijah Craig barrel proof and a bottle of James E. Pepper 1776 100 proof straight bourbon whiskey. Hoping the Elijah Craig is as good or better than the small batch. Not sure what to think of the Pepper. The bad part of the Covid is that I have been buying bourbon like it was going out of production. Not even sure what I have anymore. |

I’ve been looking for some EC Barrel Proof and just keep missing it everywhere I go. Almost tried Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye today, but couldn’t justify the cost.

Hadn't had it in a while but I was quickly reminded I enjoy it. I also picked up a bottle of Old Forester 86 proof for around $25, I'd never tried it but it was pretty decent and I'll probably buy it again. When I was in FL in April, a lady at a liquor store said all the BT is allocated and ABC got it. I saw one 750ml bottle of BT and the clerk acted as if it was gold. Every area is different price wise and availability. People in TX scoff at paying anything over $23 for Weller SR when it is abundant there but not readily available here and goes for $60-$70 ER is $32, BT is $23, McKenna is about $50. That's here. |

Never hungover and rarely ever more than a good buzz Yeah. I think it's the sugar that causes really bad hangovers. Messes up your blood sugar. I think it’s because people tend to drink too much, too quickly with sweet fruity drinks. They go down so easily that people lose track of how much alcohol they’re actually consuming and they’d probably never drink as much neat. This is especially true with women. |

Picked up a bottle of Old Tub unfiltered straight bourbon 100 proof last week. Tried the first drink with some water and was ready to throw out the bottle. Trying some on ice as I type this....much better. Actually, pretty damn good for the money. BTW, the Old Tub is a Jim Beam product. |

Weller 12, if you can find it, is another popular wheater. I just picked up a Maker’s Mark Private Select that I’m planning to crack open in the next couple of days. I’ll let you know how it is. |

Neat or with ice on a hot day or with the cheap stuff and I feel fine the next day. Fruit drinks or beer and I am chancing a hangover if I drink enough to get a buzz. |
