I know nothing about NASCAR besides the kids seem to like the old shirts.

Sorry, I’m bored in the back of the car (driving south into Kamloops, BC). TWSS

I just saw the most stereotypical BC thing: a shirtless dude rolling a joint on the roof of his ****** car in a roadside rest area.

It's game time. Try your best it's a tough one. It is Italian.

Was trying to figure out if the mystery jacket was Luciano Barbera. A quick search yielded this picture of @SpooPoker in his new green sport coat, looking dapper as you'd expect.

not that far off

Sitting around and I decided to crack this old bottle of hooch. Could be collectible or some ****, but I got a bigger bottle in better shape, no big loss if so. I have a vintage lifestyle, all my **** is old, not necessarily used, even the whiskey has to be vintage lol. Anyway, I am a whiskey drinker, I am familiar with the contemporary Jim Beam product, I wanted to compare a vintage sample because it was in my possession. I’m relatively sophisticated enough to give it a breakdown, so here it goes. I poured a half shot of vintage and modern beam in a shot glass and rolled it around, modern looks a bit more “oily” and a bit darker surprisingly. I start with modern beam, swish it a bit under my tounge, and try to get a good refresher on the tastes, familiar territory. Next, the vintage, immediately upon hitting my taste buds I get a very strong grain taste, but it’s smooth, and has less of a burn. No flavors there like you would expect from a costly whisky though, but it’s much better. Next I mixed some in Mexican cola with two good ice cubes in a mason jar. The modern is a bit more sweet, it’s cloying and syrupy in comparison to the old stuff.

Looks like Suntory may have tinkered with the recipe when they bought Jim Beam a while back. The bars in Tokyo have placards out front promoting Jim Beam highballs all over the place so maybe they're trying to make it more mixable. And I know that sugar is sugar but the Mexican Coca Cola with cane sugar does taste better to me than the corn syrup stuff.
