Taking a note from Scott's play book. Using the good shit for an OF.

Probably the best use for A124.

Shit day so we’re starting heavy…B524 in the glass

 

[Billy Baroo]

Almost forgot…happy wheater Wednesday

 

[Saoliver]

If it’s gotta be Wednesday, it’s gotta be wheated.

 

[Billy Baroo]

More wheat

 

[Billy Baroo]

Last chance for this one. I’ve not been very happy with this from the get go. Hopefully a good buzz will help me see the light

So I was going to roll the dice in the app until I landed on a wheater. This bottle below was my first roll. Seriously, this thing is listening to me! My open bottle is the old style. 46, but not cask strength.

 

[Hot Nuts]

My mini bar. Can lead to trouble placing it within pouring distance of my workspace, especially on Fryedays.

Figured I'd see if there's really any measurable difference between campuses....

Tyrone vs Camp Nelson

Tyrone TY-F
Nose: Sweet -cola with vanilla bean

Palate: a tad funky, cola/sassafras forward with lots of barrel char. Toasted caramel. Clove with borderline rye spicy notes.

Camp Nelson CN-E
Nose: Rich and sweet, vanilla, brown sugar, and some dark red fruit and leather

Palate: Rich vanilla, leather, oak, tobacco, followed by mild baking spices as it settles. Much better balanced.

Two fairly different bottles. The Camp Nelson bottle was definitely more my jam.

Woodford Reserve
In Australia, we are blessed with only 40% ABV, but still a very drinkable and versatile bourbon

After finishing last night with that dreadful MM 46 Cask Strength, I decided we needed a banger to wipe the slate clean.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better!

I love Maker's Mark...guess it's a palate thing. I cut my teeth on Maker's and ice.

There’s just an odd, off putting note in their offerings that disagrees with me. The “better” the bottle, the more pronounced and sour it gets. Their Cellar Aged has a phenomenal nose and just about turned my stomach once I tasted it. The 46 CS is very similar. Plenty of other shit to blow my cash on

I cut my teeth on WT 101 and you didn’t dare put any ice or water in it in front of grandpa…unless you wanted to go pick out your switch

I call it the Maker’s funk. I can pick Maker’s out blind every time. I don’t mind it usually.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Ship it!

I’ll trade it for a few samples and a tissue to dry my tears

Went low key and sweet this evening

I get the same thing with Four Roses. If I drink it alone, I love it. In a blind with other bottles, it's off putting.

I was just at my local store to buy a bottle of Compass Box Orchard House for poker tonight. They had GTS for $600, $730 with our stupid tax. I passed, but it was difficult.

They told me that it has been on the shelf for 3 days. Maybe the (whiskey) recession is here.

 

[Billy Baroo]

That tax rate is criminal

 

[Saoliver]

That tax rate is criminal

Yes it is. It was supposed to be temporary.

 

[FDLmold]

Yes it is. It was supposed to be temporary.

lol temporary tax in a blue state, not that red states are much better

Happy Fryeday! Been itching to try this 8yr KC store pick. Never seen one over 6yrs old.

 

[Klobberer]

I haven't indulged in Fryeday in quite a while...let's go!

 

[krafticus]

Happy fRyeDay …
Might as well since my weekend plans got fubar’ed

 

[Billy Baroo]

Not sure what to think of that KC store pick. Just might be that my palate is way off tonight. Need a small pour of something I’m familiar with to find out

 

[Billy Baroo]

Things seem normal. This is just as dangerously easy to drink like always. Gonna need to revisit the KC store pick. Spiciest, most rye forward KC rye I ever had.

First Fryeday I’ve been home in a long time without the usual cash game. Got an early flight to Atlantic City in the morning. Staying til Tuesday morning. Local PCFers and reasonably close residents are encouraged to come out and watch me get drunk and donk off 2-3 Gs

LET’S GET READY TO GAMBOOOOOOOOOOOL
