If you decide to order one....it takes more than a few days for it to arrive

Could be interesting but it's not.  Shiner makes good beer and Balcones makes good bourbon but, to paraphrase Kipling, never the twain should meet.  I'm not sure how to describe it but the taste is kind of muddled if that makes any sense, there's not really any kind of flavor profile to it and the aftertaste is pretty bitter.  This one could use a couple more years in the barrel...
I tried to make and old fashioned with it after deciding that I wasn't going to be drinking it straight up and ended up tossing it down the sink.  I haven't mixed bourbon with soda in a long time but am going to try it with cream soda to see if that'll work...

Lewisville distillery making hand cleaner for community during COVID-19 crisis
Hand sanitizer is hard to come by during the coronavirus outbreak. Bendt Distilling Co. is making hand cleaner and giving it to people for free.   LEWISVILLE, Texas — With coronavirus spreading, this week has been a change of pace for Natasha DeHart. She and her husband own Bendt Distilling Company in Lewisville. 
Over the weekend, they stopped the tasting hall, tours and events at the distillery. 
"Essentially half of our staff just became unemployed," said Natasha. "Yeah. We're all scared."
She's been doing everything she can to keep her shop clean, and noticed how hard it is to find hand sanitizer in stores. Natasha decided to make her own hand cleaner and give it to her staff.
She decided to make some for law enforcement, first responders, nearby businesses and even customers too.
"It's made with the first spirit that comes off the still, and it's not really suitable for consumption. It's very high proof," she said. 
Natasha dilutes it with water, xanthan gum and a drop of essential oil for smell. She said it contains 70 percent alcohol, more than the 60 percent minimum recommended by the CDC.
"It just became obvious that there was a bigger problem and so we started looking at ways that we might be able to fulfill that need," said Natasha.
Word spread about this project. In three days, her team handed out more than 1,500 free bottles of hand cleaner. 
She bought as many plastic 4-ounce bottles as she could find, but quickly ran out. On Wednesday, she resorted to mini liquor bottles as a way to keep going.
She said, "They don't have the convenient dispenser top, but we will do what we can. We will keep handing them out."
Even though her business is feeling the impact of the COVID-19, Natasha hopes the free hand cleaners will help the community through this crisis.
 

I'm sure they'd love to see you buy some bourbon right now.
Its on Charles St in old town Lewisville, located where the old Piggly Wiggly used to be. Its roughly one block or so south of downtown.

Well now, I cannot speak for any hogwash cockamammie story like orders for whiskey being slowed to a crawl.  I am doing my part and supporting the bourbon industry, likely to the chagrin of my lovely wife. 

I can agree with this 100%!  Idk about you @joeywa but I've been drinking plenty of whiskey and smoking plenty of meats! LOL!  @Sirhornsalot, I had no clue there was a whiskey distillery in Lewisville.  I work in Coppell.  Can I swing by and grab a bottle during this "shelter in place"?

This is very important, and good on you for doing this.
Also, one thing to remember about this, not only are the restaurants in need of the support, there is an entire community of suppliers that provide goods and services to restaurants that are feeling a mighty pinch right now.  All of that food, drinks, paper and cleaning supplies as well as the companies that distribute this to each restaurant are part of this.  The foodservice industry will be forever changed when this is over.  And I fear not in a good way.

Denton County has now issued a Shelter in Place order, effective at midnight. We have seen a rise in the number of cases here, now at over 30 I believe. However, some of that can be attributed to more people being tested.
After looking over the order as well as the National Landscape Association's statement on this, it appears that my company is an essential service and will not have to cease operations. This is good news as long as people in my company remain uninfected. So far, so good.
My wife and I have been ordering out almost every night. A lot of restaurants have had to close their dining rooms but are still offering carry out. They need our help to stay afloat.

FYI, if you’re so inclined, our friends at Black Sheep Lodge and Haymaker have had to close. They have two separate fund raisers going on. 
 
 
 

Nice video, but they should have used the graphics with this moment of zen from a leader far more important to Longhorn football that just Tom Herman.
A moment of zen from our true leader.
 

Went by Pinthouse Pizza yesterday and picked up a small supply of Electric Jellyfish and a meatless pizza for lent!  

Y’all please support your local restaurants in any way possible. These folks are struggling mightily right now.

No big deal. There are other things to be concerned about. 
I will be more than happy when we have some Longhorn news.
