I guess it’s a fungus. Talking to a hunter this morning that has one of the most unbelievable collections I’ve seen yet, including on line. Basement walls(all four) stacked from waist to ceiling with nothing but the most expensive and hardest to find juices in the country. I guess he’s been doing it for years.
Todays haul…..(my first EHT Rye.)

Stagg has been dropping in places down here today and I heard it’s dropping up north much better so be on the lookout.

I’m not but I’d think toning it down with ice would help if a barrel proof is the sip of choice.

Barrel Proof, Cask Strength, Full Proof, etc. - WTF are they?

We have all seen them: Barrel Proof, Batch Proof, Full Proof, Cask Strength - but what are they? Are they all the same? Is there a legal requirement? Yes and no. To get this started, I am sipping on a pour of Larceny Barrel Proof B521. Coming in at 121 proof, this wheated bourbon is rich in...

Some of the rabbit hole I went down earlier today. Basically, barrel proof is what it test at before it goes in the barrel. They can water it down after that.

Dang nice haul today.

I'm a newbie at all this.
Have shared a few bottles over the last month. My favorite is the Woodford Reserve double oaked. Next is Elijah Craig small batch, 1792 is pretty good. Did not care for Baysel Hayden or New Riff

Don't let anyone tell you the Yellowstone is good. That stuff is garbage.

East Coast liquor service will be making a stop in Ohio soon to deliver Blanton's and some other goodies to members... Someone is getting a bottle of Elmer T Lee... Anyone else need anything give me a shout and I'll see what I can do....
