    I’ve saved the 2 or 3 I’ve had stuff shipped to me in so I can re-use them later - those things are awesome

    So my store has a couple different Nikka bottles, which ones are the favorites around here? Can’t remember which ones, I’d get them for retail so pricing shouldn’t be a problem.

    Also bought a bottle of chicken cock bourbon today. My guy at the store said he got it in on a recommendation and it’s been moving. I’ll give it a try after this OF 1910 warmup glass I’m working on.

    I’ll check those out closer next time I am in. Just saw Nikka and remembered it had been mentioned in here.

    Wife won me a bottle of Weller 12 in the lottery. Don’t let people say good things don’t happen to good people.

    I am not a good person. Considering letting my daughter sell all of this on secondary so that I can make room and to help her get spending money for college. FYI, I had 6 bottles of each Kosher in my cart and the store owner realized and said I can't do that to him right now. He said someone else put it out and he wasn't even sure if it was priced right. He let me take 2 each of the bourbons and 3 ryes.

    I may need help with how to write the posts. Thanks! She has really taken in an interest in being entrepreneurial lately, and she has been selling a ton of stuff through some other site, so I put this out there to her. She is hard worker and I like that she is not looking for handouts, so I figured I would let her keep the profits.

    You thinking of having her sell everything on facebook? If so definitely tell her to just watch for about a week to get a handle on things. Its also really useful that you can search inside of the group to see what things are going for with recent sales.

    I'd say the other thing is with the 4R picks is there is a good bit of nuance she's going to have to work thru on pricing based on proof and tier. And the other thing is paying attention to the seasonal pricing, sometimes that causes significant fluctuations on limited releases like MWND.

    I'm going to have her start by selling the Kosher series. I'm pretty sure that everything I have there I can get close to a double or just under.

    FYI, it’s pperc tasting night. Doing the Tanmat, 4 grain, and Barrell 14 year.

    so far I’m still debating how I feel about Tanmat.

    Tannat - it’s a grape they use for wines and they finish the bourbon in the used Tannat barrels

    Four Grain is definitely very good. I still don’t know what to make of Tannat. I felt it was longing for some sweetness.

    I like the Tannat. So does Leeroy Jenkins! and Detlef Schrempf. The flavor note is “grape skins”.

    4G is definitely good and unique. Agreed.

    Not surprised that LJ does. I don’t not like it, and I do taste the bitterness of the grape skin. There is something reminiscent of some of the flavors I get from Foursquare.

    I love vanilla bombs. I didn’t get that, but I’m also smoking a strong cigar so it may have impacted it. I wouldn’t mind having a bottle of it if I can get one, because I can see it as a unique flavor to be in the mood for.
