New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

With rv12 having said that. Let me know if anyone wants to change their orders. I’ve only bought 2 of the 207 so far

 

is it that bad? i may back out, then.

 

Can the addicts (NYGator and Keef) chime in?

 

I'll take one of both please

 

If Keef and NYGator say its not shit

 

I don’t know. rv12 is also pretty knowledgable here.

 

The RIOs just taste very young and drink hot in my opinion. Wine Chaps was pretty thin and doesn't have the same finish as most of the older RIOs.

 

Ok based on what he said, I’ll just take 1 for now to make it easy unless you can’t get rid of the other.

 

If you think it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I'll bow out. Thanks anyway Wywan Bwowna

 

I may back out then. I don't need to buy anymore right now anyway. Just as long as I'm not leaving you on the hook for any.

 

Let me be clear, it's a good bottle at the price it's being offered. It's just not going to blow your socks off like an HR7 or KRY.

 

These apricot brandy finished bottles are super tasty. I have a different one. I can’t believe that’s the one. I just put that out there as a wild ass guess.

 

Fuck it ill try both, I've not had an RIO yet so will be interesting to compare the two. One of each please. Appreciate it Wywan Bwowna

 

Yes, I am not worried about it being bad and at $79 it’s still a good value I am sure.

 

Out as well. If It ain't a ringer then I'll make it easy on you.

I needed to be talked out of it anyway. I said I was done buying bourbon for a bit last week. I bought a few bottles just yesterday. I have a problem.

 

My mom was looking for a bottle for Father’s Day anyway so I’ll still stick in for my 1

 

This may be a slightly newer one.

 

So 1 for Nygator, one for sugarsuan and one of each for KentuckyDawg?

I’ll wait for Keef to chime in after RV12s post.

 

Did you get either of the NDS rare characters from the past two years. Regretting not grabbing this years after all this RC talk.

 

Yeah I'm out

 

I still want the other as well. What store is it, so I can look it up?

 

Mr Whiskers

 

Thanks, so this is the bottle. yes, I’ll definitely take 1 or 2 if you can get it.

 

The 21% low rye recipe is my favorite mgp recipe. The old 10-12 year Blaum bros mgp were this recipe.

 

Blue Note Seelbach's pick and a cigar as I relax after getting a back epidural today. Also our new rescue Steve investigating the premises before he inevitably digs or eats something

 

Where and what did you get an epidural for? I had one in my neck a little over a year ago and it’s worked great with the exception of a flare up a week ago. I was supposed to have disc replacement surgery in my neck a year ago and it helped me put it off. Good luck! Btw I was a little off the day fett my epidural for some reason so take it easy.

 

Steve has locked onto how hideous that glass is hopefully buries it in the yard

 

Good boy, bad glass.

 

I have 3 herniated discs in my lumbar vertibrae and one that's touching a nerve root, along with some degenerative disc issues. It can take a week to take effect but I can already lift my right leg without back pain so I think it's already helping. I appreciate it, feeling pretty good so far, this barrel proof pour is probably helping! And epidural went in L5-S1

 

Unfortunately he buried the rest so I can only use this glass

 

Got him from a lab rescue and it turns out he's 0% lab, at least according to his DNA test. 50% German shepherd, 25/ea Rottweiler and Doberman

 

We got a "sheltie corgi mix." He turned out to be 25% German, 12.5% Shih Tzu, and a very long list of potential matches for the rest.

 

That's probably not the steroid that is helping right now. It's probably the lidocaine fromt he injection site. I had a similar reaction but took a good 10-20 days before I fully felt the effects. At my worst moment of pain I was in Nashville for a company event and probably had about 15-20 bourbons to ease the pain. I had to wakeup for a flight the next morning at 4AM. Not a fun flight.

 

I’ll still do one of each

 

Yeah I was wondering if it was just the lidocaine. They say a week to feel effects. I don't have absolute chronic effects I'm just always waiting for the next waist bend to put me out for 2 weeks.

 

.

 

Looks exactly like my dog who’s dad was a lab and mom was a labradoodle

 

I think that's why he was at a lab rescue but after his DNA test we see absolute Rottweiler and Doberman actions within him. We don't object but I don't see the lab in him based on what we think he is.

 

I honestly don't know why I chase anything other than Russel's picks and JD Rye single barrels. I would be plenty happy just drinking those.

 

shitty bottle for shitty poster.

 

It’s pretty trash

 

I liked for crotch shot, but it's okay at best

 

Just like Chris Stapleton’s music.

 

The jersey or the bourbon?
