Bourbon.

Eagle Rare neat before we Mariokart the hell outta this place.

Engaged in shenanigans, tomfoolery, and just a hint of cajoling with @hpreston last night. These were tasty.

Whoa you guys, save some for us! Seriously, that looks like one hell of a tasting night, hope y’all enjoyed as much as it looks like y’all enjoyed

Solid. Enjoyable. Smooth. Unremarkable…

Pretty sure luggage will be overweight. Oh well.

Really like the Michter's SB bourbon. Wish it was easier to find.

So glad Alaska added these a couple years ago. Quite good…

Slowly but surely, formerly hard to find allocated stuff is popping up pretty frequently. Did the distillers finally catch up to demand? Has the bourbon craze peaked?

Peaked and retracted slightly, I’d say… Praise Jah!

For me, in a populated area of the mid-Atlantic it gone like this:

2021 to mid-2024: no allocated bottle finds while keeping a dedicated eye out
mid-2024 to present: 6 allocated bottle finds (mostly BT/Saz stuff...)

Yeah, that’s what I mean. Takes time to age barrels, etc., but since **** got hard to find 8 or 9 years ago, maybe they’re starting the catch up? Good sign if accurate
