Picked up a bottle of Blantons a few days ago and it came in a box and had a sticker on the bottle that said "staff selection fall 2014". I have never seen it come like that before.

I sat in the restaurant, waiting for the celeb to arrive. I was going to interview the celeb, and she was hot.The whole damn restaurant nearly fell out of their chairs when she entered the room. She smiled at me, and sat down. Every man in the place was extremely horny and jealous of me.I ordered a bourbon and a steak, rare bloodied, really. She ordered a glass of wine and a steak, rare bloodied, really.She was hot as hell. It was hard to look at her face because she was so gorgeous. But I still looked at her, because I was a writer, and that was my job to look, to learn to love.I sipped my bourbon. She sipped her wine. I asked her if she liked bourbon. She said it was okay.I shifted in my chair, unsure of myself confused, as a child would be.The waiter brought over our steaks dripping with blood. If the steaks had ever had a relationship with fire, it had been a short one and they probably had really bad sex, which was almost certainly the fire's fault.We spoke of bullfighting, of bourbon, of steak. Once again, I asked her what she thought of bourbon. She didn't really seem up for talking, but whatever. I had my bourbon and I had my steak.She left a beautiful phantom, etching herself in the collective memory of the room. The bourbon was good, and I drank it.

I am done with seasonal bourbon. BTAC is now $200/bottle at every store this year. I have now been priced out of the market. I passed on a bottle of GTS for $200 yesterday evening. I tried two Japanese whiskeys last night (Hibichi 12 and Yamazaki 12). Both were underwhelming. I guess off to regular bottlings or Scotch until the bourbon craze goes away.

The high seas Would anything ever be the same?I had struggled with the marlin for hours, a maddening battle reminiscent of Vimy Ridge. We fought until the sun rang the horizon's doorbell.My wife Karen told me to hurry up. I told her that maybe I would have caught the fish faster if we had sex more often.God, I needed a bourbon.That trip had changed me, as it had changed my wife (8.5, 9 on a good day).

What are everyone's thoughts on Four Roses Single Barrel? I picked up two bottles of it yesterday for $33/each.

I prefer the small batch over single barrel. It's more consistent.

Agree. Specs has selected a barrel of Old Forester. Has anyone tried it?
