My takeaways:

1. Bama would have creamed anyone last night. Thus, Bucks were a fine pick for the opponent. Meaning, don't say "the bucks should have not been there".

2. Bama probably have a 9 yard average play over the span of the game.

Let me know if you want to get together sometime and happy to share the Remus and Houston. We should grab a smoke with Rob and do it.

 

Your assessment on Scotch is well founded as they definitely won’t have the sweetness of bourbon. I started with Scotch instead of bourbon so that’s always welcome for me.

I would love to do a HH with you two. I want to take you around the Willett World (pre smokes).

Bob did you have the Sam Houston 14 or Remus Repeal VI? I thought those were some of my best purchases for the money this year with regard to older bourbons. Nothing flashy or ultra rare, but great flavor for the money.

 

If you like oak age so much I’m surprised you’re not bigger into old scotch.

I have not had either. Would love to try them.

As for scotch, i like things like kavalan barrel proof single barrels (port, sherry, etc). But, i don't get oak. Also, for oaky scotch... I don't get the sweetness I yearn for in bourbon. oaky scotch is dry like oaky wine (for the one's i've experienced).

Speaking of “bourbon too old”. I am an oak whore. Most will say bourbon Is beat at about 8-10 years. And typically, to me, anything under 7 years tastes super young. And (also typically) anything under 8/9 years still tastes young to me. I have had plenty of wonderful 7-12 year bourbons. But I still chase things (that many would consider over-oaked) in that 14-20 year realm. That’s my sweet spot. I love that dark, oaky, dark fruit flavor.

Just my opinion obviously, but the more in-tune my palate became, the more I could pick out the “youth” of the whiskey and was turned off.

As a disclaimer, my palate is at the point where I can notice even the smallest nuances. I call it a natural curse of consequence. Not bragging.

Tater scotch or ? https://www.drinkhacker.com/2020/05/15/review-kirkland-speyside-single-malt-22-years-old-sherry-cask-finish/

 

I,m a bit partial to anything from this part of the world and honestly happy to snag something local at Costco.

I heard it was good.

I also think this is the antithesis of "tater".

I'm not sure what the amalgam is for that club head, but there are a few deeper nicks that won't come out very easily without being very careful around the lettering.

 

Are you going for a polished look? I'm wondering if a skilled powdercoater can get a level finish across that head, in the finish you desire.

my goal is to clean it up as best as possible before powdercoat.

Is sandblasting the answer to reducing imperfections on this restoration?

Regarding Redbreast 27

While I haven’t had the 21, I have tried a couple of the younger ones. Which, were both “fine” as I recall. The 27 however, was very unique. It tasted like tropical lifesavers (pineapple/grapefruit/peach). Super unique.

Must pick up this week. In Powell.

Between 5:30pm-6:30pm.

Selling at exactly what I paid for them.

It’s actually kinda common. The typical Armslist prowler is looking for a deal in their favor. Always trying to trade you something. And believes they are the smartest person in the world. And plenty of instances where they live in their own little world and crazy.

Imagine it like this.... go to a CBUS gun show.... those people are the people who check Armslist daily and ping all new things that interest them.

I don't know who needs to hear this...but someone mentioned liking wheated bourbons and I recommended Bernheim. I did not say/claim it was a "wheated bourbon". I recommended a wheat whiskey to someone who said they liked "wheated bourbons". ;)

Do you like Bernheim? New Bernheim? Or New New Bernheim?

This is all I've been sipping lately. It's still very good, even if it's more expensive.

That sweet peanut HH flavor!

Nobody claimed it was.

 

 

I don't know who needs to hear this... but someone referenced it in regard to soemone's comment about wheated bourbon.

Few things:

Bernheim Original is straight wheat Whiskey. It’s not a “wheated bourbon”.

Ancient age is the best/cheapest bourbon in existence. That, or JTS Brown BIB

In the 20-30 range. WSR, Elijah Craig, rebel yell 100, 1792, old Bardstown, and old forester rye 100 are all great prospects.

The best 30 dollar bottle used to be Henry McKenna 10yr. It’s not 50 and still worth it. Also, the lux row ezra brooks 7 year BP (117pf) is the best bourbon under 50 bucks.

But.... in summary... you may have noticed.... or not.... a lot of what I touted came from Heaven Hill!!!

Want to anodize like 3-4 small chunks of aluminum.

I assume no one caters to the little projects for an affordable price?
