Chris.
Give me a ring, and I'll bring a bottle over.
Sharing is always more fun anyway.

ahhhhhhhh! shuie and kurt..spending the long weekend at home being a little down..a little while ago i'm like '**** it'..not a huge drinker anymore, but recalled this thread. just popped the cork on a bottle of the evan williams single barrel after a quick run to the liquor store. smooooooooth...this stuff goes down like buttah.. ;) thanks for the recommendation, guys..my ****ing toilet just clogged and is overflowing into my ****ing bathtub as we speak. and i just don't give a ****! lol.
ryan

:cool:

Fix the toilet before you get too far into that bottle. Its good Bourbon, but it will not improve your mechanical inclination :)

lol..toilet's still ****ed. when i flush, it goes to the tub. i've already been through a couple bottles of drano or maybe three..gonna give it another hour to try and work, then it's under the house to bang around on pipes..not looking forward to calling a plumber, but the bourbon helps.. ;) hiccup..
ryan

plumbing.....what a ****ty job. I had a similar toilet issue when my house was built. Damned neighborhood kids had shoved a cat down the sewer access pipe that was stubbed up in my yard.

Anyway, your current situation sounds like a good reason to keep drinking. Whatever it is, it will probably still be messed up in the morning. You can worry about it then. Just don't pass out in front of a backed up toilet. :)

holy meooooow, batman! :D lol..shuie..that's an odd 'tail'! anyway, good advice, shuie.. :)
ryan

Shuie, ten years ago on my 50th birthday, some friends from Baton Rouge gave me a case of Bourbon labled "Baton Rouge Bourbon". Someone had bequeathed a local bar to the Catholic Church or school and the contents had been raffled off. Her raffle ticket got her the contents of the second floor, which was all the liquor on premise when the door was closed.

mmmm...the single barrel worked well at a pool party today. all i needed was a shot glass and a glass of ice water to keep from getting dehydrated.. :)

Old Weller #7.....

I just opened my last Bottle of..."Collectors Edition" 21 year old sour mash Bourbon...distilled by Dowling Distillers in Lawerenceburg, Ky. 94.6 proof. Reg # 959.....Smooooth...

I bought this bottle about 25 years ago at Fedco in So CA. They had a great liqour dept. btw I know Whiskeys don't age in the bottle...

I still have 7 or 8 bottles of Remy XO, 4 bottles of 18 year McCallans, and a host of other stuff from Fedco as they were going outa biz...the Ontario, CA Fedco liquor dept manager did the ordering so the selection he had was outstanding. 18 year Buccannans, 18 year old Glenmorainge, Johnny Walker Blue Label, B&B, Rhum Barancourt...He11 I still have stuff left from when Fedmart went outa biz in 1982...Barcardi Rum 151 4 bottles, Chivas, Wild Turkey and a few others...

Maybe its time to inventory....

Interesting. Im not familiar with that label, but Id bet it was bottled in Kentucky. There are only a handful of distilleries responsible for making the entire worlds supply of bourbon. All of them are in KY. A few of them to do countless small private label runs, similar to what you described, for golf clubs, bars, hotels, etc. If you still have a bottle of the Baton Rouge Bourbon, Id be really interested to know where the label says it was bottled.

wow..let the single barrel sit in the sun for a little while..get hot..it's not quite as smooth! :D still good, though..but what remains of the 750 ml's is about to travel down to 'riverfest' for the fireworks show tonight.. ;)

I can help you out. A man of wealth and taste most certainly should have a bottle of the best bourbon on the planet at his disposal.

In all seriousness, 21yrs is too long for a bourbon to sit in a barrel. This isn't like scotch. Older is not always better. Bourbon starts to have an overly strong oak flavor from the barrel after ~12 years, IMHO. Save some of that Weller's so you can taste it side by side with the Evan Williams Single Barrel Im going to send you and see which one has the better flavor.

Tabby, Ryan, and Kurt V:
If you would like a bottle of the stuff that is the topic of this thread, please PM or email me a shipping address and I will send you each a bottle. No PO Box, please. It doesn't make the USPS or ATF happy when people send this stuff through the mail.

Seriously, I recently cleaned out the bar in my house. Another Pelicanite already got my Maker's Mark collection, but I still have a few bottles of the really good stuff sitting here that I don't know what to do with. I know you guys could put it to good use :)
