Just got back into town from celebrating our 19th anniversary (it's actually in November), my wife passing her PE exam (professional engineering) and her birthday (can't reveal her age as a proper gentleman lol). We celebrated with some 4 Roses barrel proof (her favorite) and Rock Hill Farms (her other favorite). Had some 1792 BP while on the beach and a pour of Stagg last night. With all her studying the last half year, we hadn't had a chance to really have drinks together, so we definitely made up for missed time lol.

BVBS meeting tonight
I really like that PHC 10yr rye
It was the overwhelming favorite
Just poured another glass of this. It is damn good. I typically like MM but this is heads and shoulders above the regular releases.Bulldog73 said:
I'm not a MM fanboy usually, but the heart release may be my favorite sipper I've had.

Friday night question for the bourbon board:
And I'm NOT condoning this!
What is the most expensive thing you have purchased while drunk? Online, in person, etc
My first IM entry. Triathletes are a cruel bunch.

What are your thoughts on these bottles? Both are around $80 each. They also had an EHT single barrel store pick for $200 (I'm passing on this one).
Really enjoyed the Valencia. It's a buy for me.
Many of you are familiar with SLB on YouTube. They're starting their annual raffle and will start the related auction soon.
Their video explaining it is here, have the tissues ready:
Summary: Over 100 incredible bottles donated to be raffled off, with all raffle ticket sales donated to Riley Children's Hospital. Their family was deeply impacted by the loss of a child, who received incredible care from the hospital.
Tickets are $5 and available here: https://app.galabid.com/slb-charity-2024/items/25454adf-0e1e-4c72-a781-fc0397b57573 . Buy a ticket or two and maybe leave a Gig'Em. They'll be doing a livestream to announce the winners on Friday OCT 25. You might win a Pappy or a BTAC, but you'll definitely be doing something much more important.

This year's Monster Mash opens on the nose with sweet impressions of candy corn, malted milk, brown sugar, and butterscotch candy, followed by hints of flambed fruit and sweet cream. On the palate, expect flavors of charred marshmallow, mocha, and browned butter, accompanied by notes of French toast and graham cracker crust. The finish lingers with decadent hints of chocolate-covered dates, hazelnut cream, and snickerdoodle cookie.
Just had a stroke reading that ridiculous tasting note
worse than an audiophile describing their new speakers.
$125 for a 3.5 year aged whiskey? Am I missing something?
They have to pay for those NIL deals somehow!
Bit of an inside joke around here at this point.
Still Austin's tasting notes are completely ridiculous and hilarious.
The Monster Mash following/secondary value use to be wild in Central Texas. Not sure if that is still a thing...

I may try for the Monster Mash. Really enjoyed their red corn summer release.
Heard blue corn is the next big release from them. Looking forward to it.

Man I just get really fired up sometimes.
I toured Balconies and one of them was it was like I licked a bbq pit. Like who comes up with this *****
Specs is changing up the Key Card program.
This will be unpopular among some, but I think it's a good change that rewards people who actually spend money outside of allocations. I don't expect to benefit in the new system but that's how it goes
Write your congressman.
This is unacceptable.

It doesn't mention anything about allocations, but it does reward those active in the stores in the recent history vs people who have 20 years of trickle.Tom Cardy said:

I'd like to see some more details on the system and what allocation level are they talking about, EHT SB or BTAC?
I don't spend at any one place to ever really get that high in points, so i don't see myself benefiting but it is good to reward those who do.

I think its the right approach from a business stand point. Allocations are going to sell out regardless so rewarding your most active customers only ensures that they will keep spending in your store if getting their hands on those rare bottles matters to them.
even though I'm hardly ever on the TW winner's list (1 bottle of blantons), I do appreciate that it does give you a chance at a bottle if you are a medium spender (insert so you're saying there's a chance gif).
Found a lone MM Heart release at TW today. For some reason it was priced $10 off so got it below msrp!
Will crack it this weekend on a fishing trip with buddies.
