Why in the freezer?Some people don't know shit from shinola.
Today went to my friends house to work on hf radio antennas. 100 degrees and full sun. Good thing I brought my leather work gloves.
Refreshment time.

Miff, waste of good 6 year old that should have stayed in original oak barrel. Sticking it in the wine barrels ruined a good poor and wasted an a additional six years. And on top of that watered it down to like 84 proof ? WTF. Dumbass maneuver. We drank it neat / cold.
My buddy asks what I thought of it and told him about that.
Back out to antenna and hooked up analyzer made adjustments and added ground plane elements.
Back inside he hands me another poor. Sight unseen I tell him this is the real shit right here. Told him it was uncut barrel proof 115-120 plus proof rye the way God intended it to be.
He pulled out the bottle.

The Thomas H Handy Sazerac strait rye whiskey is the real deal.
129.5 proof. I would buy a milk truck full if I could get it.
IMO most wine finishes on bourbon and rye have been misses.Some people don't know shit from shinola.

For stuff like that, that doesn’t need a cube or 2, I’ll keep my thick bottomed glass in the freezer and use that. Too many bottles to keep them all cold lolWell in the freezer.
It was my buddies house and cuts down on ice diluting things.
Did you miss the part about working outside in 100 degree + heat being tough on my 64 year old ass?
If it starts cold it can very quickly warm till it tastes right. If warm in Texas could easily dilute too much with ice.
I will drink strait up in winter around here.
So what you’re telling me is, you can hook a brotha upMy buddy manages a local liquor store. He gets all the cool stuff he want's so long as he doesn't put it on the secondary market.
The owner is a good guy. I have been buying from that family owned store since 1982.
I’ve been told it’s because more restaurants are getting it now.I have heard from a few owners that the bulk of the Allocated stuff is going to Canada? Anyone else hear this?
Also, I’m back! I finally can smell things again 3 weeks post Covid.
Rebel 10 for me tonight
Try it. Pre-mixed cocktails can be great, High West's Barreled Boulevardier and The 36th Vote are great examples.Well that was a satisfying drink.
Should make a thermos full.
High West’s premade Old Fashioned is pretty damn good if you don’t have the stuff or like to make ‘em yourself.Try it. Pre-mixed cocktails can be great, High West's Barreled Boulevardier and The 36th Vote are great examples.
ETA:
Rock and Rye is probably the oldest example. The Hochstadter's stuff is a bit of a mixed bag. The original 98 proof 6 yo was awesome. They then lowered the proof to 84, it was still good but not AS good. They then switched from cork to a rubber-ish stopper. Had a bunch of bottles that were just ...off. There is also an Orange label limited release that is 100 proof and 6 years old, it is also great. It also has the rubber-ish stopper so hopefully was just a lack of QC on the ones I got in the standard offering.
The danger for any distiller is changing something so much that it is no longer recognizable.
They’ve been moving that 13 around $500 on the interwebsPicked a few more up today
New Riff Balboa Rye X2
Old Eld Double Wheat
Russell’s 13! Swing! Been looking for this one forever

Remember that scene in Animal House where John Belushi is trying to rally his frat brothers with a story about how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?Why are there flags in this tread?
Great stuff .. just finished a bottle of this a few weeks ago.
