  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Pipe bacy lottery

    nothing to make it formal, really, so much as someone willing to herd cats on it. it's a lottery, so it goes in the marketplace under lotto. also, whoever runs it needs to make sure the roster is full, manage adds and drops, and be willing to mediate if there were (unlikely) any disputes about...

    Cincinnati 5/5 - 5/9

    I want to age some bourbon and tequila! Any advice?

    cool! still think doing a matched pair, stored in different locations, would yeild interesting results, but i never really factored the reduced size fully into the equation.

    Buffalo Trace shortage?

    ... which is THE ONLY way to get a single barrel iteration of woodford, FWIW. EDIT: and, yeah, TOTALLY different locations within the rackhouse. springs reserve 1 was, to me, bright and playful, where 4 was more restrained and subdued, but both within the BT flavor profile. all the barrels...

    Buffalo Trace shortage?

    "springs reserve" one and four, out of a six barrel selection.

    Buffalo Trace shortage?

    no, dude, i went down with my GM and the owner and did a barrel selection for our stores, we BOUGHT TWO SEPARATE single barrels of BT. which were then bottled and tagged specifically for our stores. it was cool as shit, but in all honesty terrifying for an alcoholic. but, whatayagunnado, it's...

    Buffalo Trace shortage?

    yeah, once again, this is NOT going to affect what your local booze merchant has now. nor what the state distribution currently has. just, it may (or very well could) affect things as those stocks dwindle, and how THEY are able to reorder. also, still really really hoping this was an april...

    we need fifteen people realistically to make this work. would also need a schleb to volunteer running it. but, shit, could be fun. o)

    Buffalo Trace shortage?

    UPDATE: i hope to shit this is a april hoax, but my rep has said that supplies of BT and eagle rare are BONED for the duration of '14. as in, none left in the kentucky market for '14. at all. there have been a LOT of single barrel purchases, on top of regular shipping, which have unexpectedly...

    I want to age some bourbon and tequila! Any advice?

    realistically, wouldn't lack of exposure to the elements really limit how these age? rack houses are really just big damn secure sheds, and the summer and winter conditions, how it heats and cools, expanding into and washing out of the wood grain, the location within the rack house, airflow...

    Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

    ... because the sun is out and I have not had one in like a decade, IIRC. fun, if low key to the point of being flat, but worth it for the stroll down amnesia lane. o)

    What's in your bowl today

    a little 4nog father orin in my little chuck sands today: their description makes it sound topped, but it burns just like a solid VaBur; any "honey" or "bourbon" actually show through the tobacco, which is rich and earthy with a little black pepper. good stuff.
