What's in your cup?

[Sgt Fury]

Meant to throw this up here last night.

Finally… the smoothest of the smooth. My unicorn. Big thanks to @Sgt Fury and @Jesse and anyone else involved in what was likely one of the longest-traveled and longest duration Hillbilly Express to-date. It was worth the wait!

I see that the letter on the horses rear foot is a “N”. Now all you have to do is collect all of the other letters that spell out Blantons…then you put them on a half whiskey barrel display. GOALS! Hope you enjoy it!

Yes. Who has a bottle of unopened Makers laying around?!

I do.... I also have a bottle of Blantons .....

Small world….I picked up a bottle of Makers a couple weeks ago along with another bottle of Blantons. Blantons is hard to find around here but if you call several liquor stores every day for 2-3 weeks, you’ll eventually get one who has it in stock. Then you’ve got to drop what you’re doing and get there as quickly as you can or it’ll be gone in a couple hours and won’t be in stock again for about a month.

Honestly for the money, I would rather have Buffalo Trace... I also have some Pure Kentucky which is a pretty decent bourbon, the guy in Kentucky recommended it when I asked for something I wouldn't be able to get in Ohio.

Any of yall done any research on the missing bottles? Not blantons, but same company. Interesting story about the biggest whiskey heist. Seent it on Netflix while recovering Sunday. Lol

Where Did the Missing 65 Cases of Pappy Van Winkle Whiskey Go?

Batches of the rarest whiskey evaporated into thin air this week. Kentucky police are investigating the mysterious, abrupt disappearance of 65 cases of Pappy Van Winkle whiskey, the rarest bourbon in all the land, from its distillery that was discovered this week.

Interesting enough that it kept me awake on a Sunday on a TOO weekend.

My wife said she saw this on Sunday Morning show and they interviewed one of the owners of the distillery and he said he can’t even get a bottle as they take orders for them years in advance.

I agree about BT. Half the price and twice as easy to find. Not that Blantons isn’t great, just not “twice the price” great. I’ll always pick up a bottle if I see it but don’t go out of my way to find it.
These are the only 2 versions of Van Winkle I’ve laid my eyes on. Zoom and check out the prices…

 

[giles]

You can also see the dust on them! Lol
