Guy who works for me doing some significant ass kissing and made me an Old Fashioned smoking tool…. Gave me oak shavings too.

That's a nice little device there. Great for entertaining. Cinnamon shaving chips make for a great Old Fashioned.

Add another one to the list. I hope our TexAgs barrel pick is better quality than those.

On the topic of cork issues - do y'all twist and pull or wiggle and pull? Or just rip it straight out with reckless abandon?

Interesting. I can inquire about this issue. That way they are at least aware of it.

Looks like synthetic cork. How drunk are y'all when you are twisting off these caps?

Works better with a straight up and down pulling motion.

Today's score on a Monday afternoon at specs. Spent a few $'s but hardly (never) see Booker's in store and they recommended I grab a Penelope toasted. How'd I do?

Depends on what you spent. But if I've never had a bookers and you found one for a good price then you done well. I liked the batches I've had. Not my favorite but still worth having in the collection a few times.

Suggested retail price is $89.99 to $100. So I'd say you did well!

Darn thing is those bookers bottles are getting more expensive every year it seems like.

Agree. Been there and done near the same price for a bottle of bookers. In this new environment your $100 probably went further than mine. No shame adding that if you've never had it. and every batch has a different outcome so yours could be solid. I haven't bought one in the last year or 2

Hope that booker's batch is a good one, I haven't had it yet.

The Penelope is a good one, I've really enjoyed the toasted that I picked up a couple months back.

3 years ago 100 for Booker's would have been a bit much now as others have said its practically MSRP. The Penelope also gets pretty good reviews. I'd say you did just fine.

What do you all think of the cask strength High n wicked? I see it's available at TW and comes in at around 126 proof. I remember seeing a couple reviews saying to grab it if you see it. Just wanted an honest Aggie (I know that's redundant lol) opinion.

Incredibly misleading marketing to call it "22" when it is definitely not a 22 year old whiskey - especially since they will probably price it as if it were.

I've actually been seeing that a lot. They put a giant number on the bottle to fool buyers.

Woodford had a large 18 on their newest batch.

Per Wiki -

Wofford College is a private liberal arts college in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It was founded in 1854. The 175-acre campus is a national arboretum and one of the few four-year institutions in the southeastern United States founded before the American Civil War that still operates on its original campus.

And to be fair their newest batch of freshman were probably all 18. Of course i have no clue what that has to do with this thread.
