    That is awesome. I love the wood on the bar. That's almost more exciting than what's behind the bar (almost)!!!!

    Now that's how it's done folks! That is one super nice bar! I love the wood & the custom countertop. It is beautiful!
    We might have to take a road trip up there just to see it in person. Finding the time is another challenge.

    Feel like I'm going to be a lot more confident most nights.

    Just got back from Tundras to Sedona and decided to do some whiskey hunting while in the state of AZ. This is what I brought home :thumbsup:

    Got some lighting installed in the bar and celebratex accordingly.

    This is a phenomenal wheated bourbon if you're looking for something that hasn't yet started commanding a resale surplus. $40 a bottle - I am literally going to buy a case.

    I'm jealous of your Weller collection. All of those I've tasted - only 3 have I owned.

    What's the deal with Elijah Craig? I've only tasted one of their offerings and it was good but I wasn't convinced I should buy a bunch. What did I miss? If they have an option that should be tried above all others, which is it?

    Those are all their barrel proof or single barrel store picks. I enjoy the full flavor due to the age and fact that they are uncut and unfiltered. Compared to other brands they really deliver for the price.

    Interesting how the EC barrel proofs vary from each batch, I currently have the C921 and don't like it nearly as much as the last bottle I had. Problem is I don't remember or have a picture of that last bottle . Also, looking at your wall and I realize I have bought darn near every bottle on your wall makes me think I might have a problem. :cheers:

    Yeah I like that every batch is a little different and am willing to chance it buying every release for $70.

    My problem wasn’t nearly as obvious until I built the wall to display it lol

    Poor man's Kentucky Owl still makes you feel rich. This is quite nice.

    I saw you know where had it, worth it at that price point? Seemed like it was a ~30$ mark up.

    I forget if I got thos for $50 or $70, but it was worth it on either case. Very balanced, 100 proof, almost perfect. Might drive up and get a second if they still have them.

    I would 100% pick one up if I were you. Check the secondary prices online.

    I just called BB and they say $123.99

    I don't know if the lady made a mistake when I was there on Saturday or if their price has gone up. I asked my wife and we paid $70 for the Kentucky Owl and $40 for the KO Wiseman.

    Even at $123 I think this is a good buy. They have 1 bottle left.

    That's good feedback maybe I'll give it a shot. I asked them and they said 123 to me as well. Thanks for the response!

    Nice collection! I have been looking at building a similar setup and like your shelf hangers. Where did you find those?

    Managed to pick up these two. Glad to see the Michter's Bourbon after picking up the rye last week. The 1792 is on you guys, since it seems popular around here. They had pretty much the entire 1792 collection, but opted for the Full Proof based on a recommendation from one of the guys in the store.

    1792 full proof is a great choice

    Kickin' it old school.

    Actually haven't had this for nearly 20 years. We used to get it and pound it when I was just barely 21. It's well worth the $27.

    Had just enough time to hit TW before work after a haircut today. Was stoked to finally find one at a reasonable price.

    Somehow I had a stout beer can explode in my little under the stairs ‘cellar’. No idea why or what happened. The can next to it looked bulged out on top so I dumped it and it was pretty pressurized too and mostly foamed out. Must of happened a few days ago cause it’s all dries up. Blew to top right off and about a foot away.

    Likely it continued to ferment in the can and exploded itself. I spent several years brewing beer as an amateur (although my setups was/is quite nice) and this is a danger if you bottle age. Seems equally possible that getting it to can early could have the same result.

    Temps in the 60s + will accelerate this process.

    Think it was just a bad batch. It was bought from Costco and they are actually my newest beers in there. The other 4 pack I bought seems unaffected too.
