Thanks for the recipe Lew I am on my 4th one today and feeling pretty drunk.

So I got on a vip list somehow with one of the big liquor store owners here and get emails about select stuff.

He’s got some whistle pig boss hog black label. Anyone had it?

They hit quick!

Love them though. Easy, delicious and none of that sugary shit. Let’s the floral notes of the tequila shine.

Also I’ll throw some of the stuff up here and if anyone is interested I can ship it?

It’s good but the price tag doesn’t match the value.

If you’ve got some money to burn though, I’d snag a bottle.

I don’t really wanna spend 400 bucks on it though, feel like I can get better value for that.

Shit, I think that bottle goes for near $1k secondary.

For the record, I haven’t had it. But most whistle pig stuff is decent but over priced.

Find some 4 roses Al Young. Or George T Stagg if you wanna spend but get great stuff.

It’s nice to know people ;)

He’s got some Jefferson’s ocean aged stuff that I sampled that was fantastic and Elijah Craig small batch barrel proof that’s suppos fly legit

Some like Jefferson's. It's gimmicky to me but decent.

The small batch barrel proof of Elijah Craig is top notch. Buy that one.

I’m drinking a blackberry old fashioned:

Muddle 5-6 blackberries in a glass
Add 3-4 dashes bitters
.75 ounce sage simple syrup*
1.5 ounces high quality bourbon (Buffalo Trace or Knob Creek are my favorites)

Mix
Add ice to the brim

Sage simple syrup: 7-8 sage leaves; 1 Cup sugar (white is fine but sugar in the raw is better); 1 Cup water.
Combine all agreements in small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Stir. Turn off stove and let sit for at least 30minutes. Strain into container

Found the recipe online some time ago and really enjoy it in the summer

Quite refreshing

Was diving with the younger son all weekend so not much drinking. We ended up at this place called Sparky's in Eureka Springs and they gave me the first Sailor Jerry's and diet Dr. Pepper I've had in quite a while and it was awesome. So we're the ribs. T'was a great weekend.

I felt like I cut down on buying booze in the past 6 months but occasionally get a bottle of something here and there. We aren't boozing in the pool as much since our son has been born and I'm back up to 60 some-odd bottles in the bar. I like being able to make random drinks here and there so we have quite the assortment, although about 25 bottles are bourbon/whiskey.

Can't recall if I shared this but another very simple drink recipe, this one for Gin lovers.

Called a Dragon Fly
2 oz Gin
4 oz ginger ale
juice from 1 lime

Nice summer drink instead of always going with the traditional gin and tonic.

Enjoy!

I see Four Roses. I'm on my way!

What's up Flop!

Other than the oppressive heat, lewdogs place is looking pretty nice. You're like one of those doomsday preppers but you've cornered the liquor market.
