  • 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.

    Determining Bourbon Values

    don't shop the secondary market, that way lies madness. seriously, unless you have more disposable cash than sense, 80% seem out to kill their mark up, and 18% are not even pretending to spit on it first. 1.5% of the remainder are fakes. ask around on a forum you can trust (like us!) about...

    looks like youre hailing from TX, so the guy might be right, according to half wheel. and if it anything like the angry little bastard harg sent me a while back (which IIRC was a pepin in the same style and vitola), that should be an enjoyable kick in the junk!

    while i sell store shine, i readily tell people their money is better spent on either vodka and good quality mixers, or a decent bourbon. and, yes, like most things in life, home made is almost always better. o)

    My Cherry Got Popped Today - So Excited!

    huge second to the concept of waiting on box purchases until you are more "dialed in", so to speak. my first box, in all honesty, kinda sucked. o) also, you have US! while there is more than a little "keeping up with the joneses" on here, most of it is just like-minded individuals agreeing...
