Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

They made the wrong drink for someone and gave it to me because I liked the barrel strength toasted rye… what a winner! The made it with an ice cube and quickly took it out… it was free and killer

I could have all the decently expensive whiskey and cigars I could handle for free, but I don’t really ever drink(or think it tastes good) and haven’t smoked a cigar in over a decade.

Fucking waste

I had sweet tea
 
There were a couple more bottles left. I did not go back and get them.

The independant store I frequent is managed by a friend. I get offered allocated stuff often and they don't like black market resale purchases.
The owner asked what I was going to do with some of those an told him drink them everyone.

I get things way above my paygrade.

Anyway came home with a bottle of this and tried it, miff not impressive. But wait common internet knowledge told me to stick it in the fridge and try again

There was the flavor I was hoping for all of a sudden.

@XTREM HTR16

I would like to publicly apologize for my post. I'm not going to take it down and hide it.

I made a mistake.
My buddy that manages the store and I were just earlier in the day discussing profiteers and that store tosses them out if they get sideways.

The manager ordered what he could and is still selling it at msrp but is managing the shelf quantities.

I have been with the same store since 1982, I bought from the owners parents.

Some days I'm an old asshole and the rest I'm just old.

Apology accepted. PM me your address and I’ll make sure you get a bottle.
 
Well sir that is most generous.

But how about we have some fun at my (our) expense (I sort of don't deserve it).
Maybe a "contest?" for the hide to see who gets it?

That will help remind me to think before speaking.
