    Well try and keep this up to date about what’s going on in our crazy little world. We talk about almost everything under the sun and have a great time doing it! There are bourbon reviews mixed in with our lives of shooting both, elr and prs matches, while running a carnival in the summer months. The humor has been our biggest feedback date though.

    Welcome aboard and feel free to offer suggestions and feedback.

    Seems a few of our friends are really behind this. We had our bourbon party last night,(no one died) and a friend pulled our logo off here and printed up a tank top for Jamie and myself and a long sleeve shirt for our prize table. Another friend, brought a giant cookie with our colored logo on it!
     
    Just listened to the Black Friday podcast. Geno, if you don't like Scotch but like Bourbon, you're simply picking the wrong Scotch. I too hate any of the Scotches that are full of peat, or earthy, etc. The flavor profile of Scotch highly depends on the region it hails from in Scotland, and the water and other materials used in distillation. I'm very much a Speyside single malt guy, lots of fruit notes, caramels, etc and none of the topsoil set on fire flavor. A good go to is Glenfiddich 12 year, about $40 a bottle.
     
    I have a few bottles around that I may revisit at some point. We had our bourbon party this last Saturday and I was asked a few times how may open bottles I have. So Sunday, after nursing a bit of a hangover, I decided to count. 123 open bottles currently. Some I enjoy a lot, and some, I don’t really care for. That’s the great thing about it all, if you like whisky, you’ll eventually find one or more that you really like.

    Thats a really cool idea, Geno.

    Its such a pain in the ass to do the whole swag thing yourself. im still waiting to find the Tshirt blanks that i like. Been out of stock everywhere for the last 6 months or more. I might do it this way in the future.

    We didn’t want to try and stock a bunch of stuff and find out that the combination of sizes and colors wasn’t what people wanted. This seemed like an easier idea. We don’t make anything off them. It’s just for fun and advertising
     
    The price is attractive. Some small run shirts are so expensive a guy can’t afford it. Looking forward to mine. Seems like a good advertising idea.

    I recall seeing a tall Christman cup at one time.
    I love the one I have, but it just doesn't fit in a cup holder.

    Doesn't she make one sort of like this, but using the same color scheme and flared top?

    We have Pilsner type cups for the carnival. Sadly, the bottoms of those done quite fit in most cup holders. If there is a lot of interest in a stone cup like they, I might work with the guy to see about changing the base diameter
