Got these quite a while ago and still had one lurking in the fridge. Very tasty brew! Went great with a nice piece of Salmon.
Stop in for a drink.

Sipping a martini watching Jeremiah Johnson on Grit with a couple of pups nearby.
Well, the Waterloo Spirit Chasers Elijah Craig Barrel Pick was a success (so far) The barrel yielded 144 bottles. My group got the 38 we needed and a group from Des Moines got 60. That only leaves 46 bottles to put on the shelf. 1 per customer is the fair way to do that. They will probably sell out before tomorrow is over.

Going to Macadoodles?I should have took a picture like this yesterday at 7pm, drained my last 5th of Crown
Tomorrow I will go to the Arkansas Missouri line and do some shopping
What does a 5th go for in your area ? 27.72 here, but if I get it in Arkansas its 32 I believe

I wasn’t impressed with the “off the shelf” Elijah Craig but I am hardly a connoisseur of whiskey. I was weened on Ten High. Lol

I prefer Clan McGregor Scotch, don’t laugh, I have had $100. per bottle stuff but still like this better even though it is as cheap as any I’ve seen.
Besides, I wasn’t born cheap, I learned it.
I wouldn’t spend $100. a bottle on myself even though I could.

Wow, what a rush. Ted and I got home with the goods and had to sample. Our Elijah Craig pick is a good one. Here's some photos onto day's activities.

...Oh The store owner split a bottle of Rip Van Winkle to share with us guys that help promote his store. Along with that, we could purchase a highly allocated bottle at MSRP. I like doing business with guys like this.
The Obtanium I will have to take another pic of. It comes from Cat's Eye distillery here in Iowa. It is from barrels bought from a old Canadian warehouse that ended up owned by Black Velvet. On my phone so I can't look it up but it's like 15 year old juice at around 150 proof. It haslots of dark fruit flavors but drinks like a 120 proofer. I just had to have one.
That’ll get ya going.
A slow sipper for sure.

That right there is a business guy that has vision and a long term strategy. I would guess he is very successful. See ya come summer.
I just scheduled some work with my local liquor store owner. Great guy and does a lot for our community. Gonna have to ease into this relationship.
No, to Boothill

Nicely done! A bottle or two at a time. The trick is to buy another before emptying the last one. LOL
Did 250 miles of running today picking up a whiskey barrel and dropping off a barrel pick bottle. I stopped at Cedar Ridge on the way back home and tried their new Port cask bourbon. Damn tasty here. They are a winery (first) then a distillery. They grow their own grapes and distill Iowa grains and in this case, finish it in their own used wine barrels. Yep I will need more soon before they run out.
Nice Mike.
Late meetings today so just settling in with a cherry-bitters old fashioned while the steak broils.

I have had a few Old Fashions and could get into them pretty easy. And lord knows I have enough of the stuff to make it happen. (and that's a old photo)
Base is Filibuster Whiskey "The Boondoggler"
