**Official Bourbon, it's a lifestyle thread**

[scary jarbro]

Just going to call for some familiar names: UTSAM44, Mico, BigDCuernolargo, Rookie97, joeywa, Hook'em Danno, GishMD, Texas McBizzle

Show yourselves! Any new juice?

 

[Mico]

Dusty Turkey never disappoints.  The '98 12/101 Split label is the best value of them all imo.

We are going to have to figure out how to use this board for photos, both tasteful and otherwise, it looks like.

I remember UTSAM44 sent me this blind sample out of the blue. Good times! I correctly identified the three MGP offerings as MGP.

Good bourbon info gents.  @Aaron Carrara, pay close attention here.  You'll get some great Father's Day recs.

The rest of you, feel free to ask these guys some questions.  They have a wealth of knowledge.

Ugggh not again. There used to be a long thread like this on that other site, like 3 thousand pages of swill. 
 

im a beer drinker now

In on page 1!

Geez they let TexasMcBizzle join? Clearly the ability to shoot wildlife isn’t a prerequisite. I may need to rethink my social media.

Okay, I once received a bottle of Rip Van Winkle bourbon as a thank you gift from someone I gave an English Bulldog to. I used to drink bourbon but can't anymore so it sat on the shelf in my closet for six years.

Then, there was a raffle for a guy who needed help and I donated the bottle to the raffle, having no idea what it was worth. So I looked it up right before posting it.

Sheet! That bottle went for $850. I had no idea what I had. lol

Is this all LBM?? I'll be looking closely!

I can't remember.

The dog I gave him was a $1800 dog, but I didn't ask him for money because I just wanted the dog to have a good home. He had started biting my other dogs, so he needed a new home with no other dogs. The guy who took him was from orange bloods, a coach in the Ft Smith area of Arkansas. He just showed up with that bottle and gave it to me when I answered the door.

There were several times I had been tempted to open that bottle and take a swig. I'm glad I didn't. lol

The raffle was for LonghornRealtor's family, if you remember him. He was a good friend to me.

Sounds like it went to great cause for LHR’a family.

I asked this in the other thread but is Balcones decent, and if so which one?  There are a bunch of different varieties and the span a wide price range. Other than being distilled in Waco, I've read some positive reviews on it.
