  • 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.

Today's Bourbon

Saturday and Sunday I had Manhattans at two different restaurants. I'm usually a whiskey neat kinda guy, but these were a nice change of pace.

Last night some Booker's Country Ham at home.



Today a local guy was offering up the latest Booker's at $20 below retail each. Had to take that deal.

View attachment 188422Picked these up last night. Heard the old tub was drinkable so figured I’d try it. Prices were pretty good and I was out of town.
Tends to be love or hate, it’s very peanutty, I like it when I’m in the mood for it, would make amazing bourbon balls or derby pie.

How is that? I wanted to try some of the different corn whiskeys. If that makes sense. Here’s one I’m talking but I haven’t been able to find it even to try to sneakily order it in

I think it’s pretty darn tasty. Picked it up in Charleston SC. Has a cinnamon nutmeg like finish in my opinion.

Semi-Local distillery Whiskey Acres in Dekalb IL makes a blue corn whiskey that I see on shelves from time to time. Curios but haven't tried it yet.

Old Tub is $19 around here, Jake. It's got some of that Beam peanut funk and is not a bad pour. I'll pick up a bottle if I'm going to an event where I know others who are drinking bourbon probably add a half a can of Coke.

My budget go-to when I can find it is Early Times Bottled in Bond, $26 for a liter. I am intrigued by that OG 114 though.
