Thank you, went from owning 0 to owning 2 in a 4 hour wait outside a liquor store! Other stores had Russells Reserve Single Rickhouse, Wild Turkey Beacon, Eagle Rare store pick, etc. Pretty happy now after missing out on Pappy and BTAC in the Kentucky lottery!

Trust me you did GOOD! That Birthday Bourbon makes it all worth it!
I’ve tried hard for some this year and struck out! I’ll have to be happy with the Pappy lol

This Birthday Bourbon is a consolation prize for not getting a Pappy, would rather have your bottle!

I’d take the Birthday over a 10yr but obviously not the 20yr! That would just be silly lol

For all the DFW members…
My buddy, Norm Hooten, of Hooten & Young will be at Goody Goody in Fort Worth tomorrow between 4-7pm doing a bottle signing.
If the name doesn’t ring any bells for you, the character “Hoot”, played by Eric Bana in Blackhawk Down is Norm in real life… he’s a retired MSG that spent his entire career in SOF (most of it in Delta)..
Granted, I’m biased… Norm is a personal friend… but in all honesty, H&Y 12 year is an absolutely stellar whiskey… smooth as silk.. truly wonderful caramel and apple notes on the finish… it’s one of my favorite whiskeys on earth (and I generally prefer Irish over bourbons)…
Anyway, Blackhawk Down is what Norm is primarily “famous” for.. but his exploits go much, much further… he is a no shit real hero, both on and off the battlefield.. he’s a true patriot, loves this country more than anything else, and is genuinely a great guy that is incredibly humble to be so accomplished..
Not only is H&Y one of my favorite whiskeys, Norm is one of my favorite people… always a pleasure to be around..
Google his name and spend a few minutes listening to a pod cast (he’s done several), or read a few of the stories (there are a few online)… then, if interested, head to Ft Worth and grab a bottle… I think it would be well worth your time and effort..
I’m planning on being there sometime between 6-7pm… if you’re there at the same time, I won’t be hard to identify.. just look for the guy that looks like a rapidly balding sasquatch lurking around… that will be me

I was given this certificate from a George T Stagg box (3 bottles in a case), found this interesting and wanted to share it. I never knew these were included.

A buddy of mine just dropped this off to me for Christmas. Never tried it before.
That is one of my favorites, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I had two glasses of it over a nice steak dinner just last week.
A man after my own heart, love your choice.

Poked around Louisville and Bardstown this weekend, bought the Lot B and Thomas Handy, cash helped rather than using CC. Traded for the others. Bourbon season is slowing down. I did win a Stagg Jr in a lottery for some consolation also.
Really nice birdie. What's the story behind it?

You should try their rye.
Not much of a rye guy my own self, but their rye is so good it made my eyes leak for the sheer joy just a little bit

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. 
Need anything in trade?

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
