    Can't get to the bowl game? Watch Party

    Any reservations/list for this? My friend and I are thinking of going to The Cabin for the game.

    OT: Bourbon/Whiskey

    This is one of those things you could argue about all night I guess - but its highly likely the reason people feel high proof is a waste of flavor is simply that their mouths get numb at such a high proof. But if you ask people used to very high proofs, they're always going to pick the high...

    Biggest crowd since?

    Not with tonight's weather forecast combined with the weeknight.

    Sounds awesome. Since they raised the price on Booker's, I've moved more towards the KCSB, and the store picks always deliver.

    Hutchinson, Robinson, Hamilton...

    Not Anthony Davis - believe Rivals and Scout both had him as a 4*, albeit very high.

    NJIT 5 Thoughts

    I thought Mathis did a great job chasing around their top scorer. The kid came in averaging over 25 a game but he was really out of it today. In the second half as soon as Mathis came out and Baker was covering him you could see he got to the hoop a few times easily. Then after the time out Pike...

    The "wheater" bubble is bursting. Buffalo Trace realizes that people are just buying all the Weller, and reselling at higher prices where they can. So they have two options: Raise prices or make more. I think you're seeing a bit of #1 and a lot of #2. Like I said above - Maker's Cask is...

    FYI - Templeton Rye is just an MGP sourced rye. So other popular ryes like Bulleit, George Dickel, and Redemption source from MGP. They're essentially all the same juice, although you get some slight variations between these brands. Other top notch ryes like Angel's Envy, Whistlepig, and my...

    You can find Old Weller Antique (107 proof) sometimes. Weller 12 is not distributed here. For me personally, I find Weller 12 and Pappy 15+ too aged/subdued. For wheaters, I prefer OWA with the high proof and less aging, or much easier to find Maker's Mark Barrel Proof. Can usually score a...

    OT: Valenca in Elizabeth

    I live about 10 minutes away and have been there a bunch. Very good. Although I once got a steak there that literally had gone bad. The smell was nauseating. They took it off my bill, but honestly can't go back now without remembering that.

    Yikes - I generally like your posts Ru4Real but this one... I currently have about ~55 bottles of American Whiskey sitting on my shelf, and my absolute favorite that i can keep buying is High West Rendezvous Rye. I'm not sure what your problem is with them sourcing from MGP. They only thing...
