“One is none, two is one.”

Damn......I know I've heard this somewhere before.LOL

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for our blessings.

I am thankful I do not have Homer's affliction.
Repeat, I am glad I do not have Homer's affliction.
etc.

Rare Breed........bout a half a bottle in deer camp last nite.This morning was rough with no coffee.

past few days:

Weller 12
William Larue Weller
Basil Hayden Dark Rye
Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Barrel Strength 2017
Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Strength Specially Selected OESV
Talisker 18

Just a Thanksgiving get together with the cubs. We all bring a couple of bottles and share. Added bonus for me is that I also bring the beer and cigars and we share.

The William Larue belongs to my youngest and he paid MSRP a couple of weeks ago during the AL state wide release. He did stand in line/camp out for approximately 20 hours to get it. He was #20 out of the 100 numbers they issued that Mon morning at the store where he was. The few bottles of Pappy that were available were gone by the time he was allowed in. His take was the William Larue, EC 18, Blanton's and ETL. I think he had around $350 in the four bottles. I do know that the EC 18 was $120 and the ETL was $38.

I did enjoy my sampling of the William Larue this weekend but don't know that it was worth 20 hours in line and totally sure it is not worth $450.

Yea I heard the conversation.......(Chris)"Homer I thought you were an optometrist ........how can you not see the value in this bottle?" "All the other eye doctors on the island have a bottle".

Homer just sighed and grabbed that bottle too.

great story!

I've had dinner with Conan, and I didn't know he was an optometrist... but my memory sucks. He probably told me 3 times and I just forgot.

OK so now we know MACS is blind in one eye and can't see out the other.........HOMER!!!

Conan is a downtown gigalo........Hotel Street I heard.

Pretty sure Navy guys can only see with their peckers.

They were all the same, but there were 20 entries. ha

I paid 90-100 last year for WLW. It’s good, it’s great. It’s not worth $450 unless you wipe with 100s and 450 is no dent in your fun money. I don’t think I’ve found anything I’d pay 450 for.

Late edit- **** the big liquor store in town has them marked up to 150 for their lottery this year.

ETL

EC Barrel Proof

Yes Ron and Chris, the one I bought in Vegas.

Picked up a bottle of Barrel Proof today.......12 YO EC is as about as good as it gets in my neck of the woods.

Four Roses Private Selection OESV.......11 years and 1 month

Kirkland 21 year Speyside.

LMAO, yes my brother, you are correct.

cuz I drank the 20 year today.

I missed out on that, no costcos in these parts then. but this new single malt speyside is Alexander Murray stuff so no one knows the origin...NOT Macallan though

EH Taylor small batch

Never say no one knows Frankie Tripod.
