Are you claiming there are times it's inappropriate to sing and dance while drunk? That doesn't make a lick of sense!

Though I don't think what I do qualifies as dancing. It's more like a flail.

Your protestations regarding your dancing fool nobody, penguin

nupe! haha

I had drunk enough (had enough fuel) to dance all night long, but the price of the club made my friends reconsider the idea. that is what was not funny xd.

I even put a friendly smile to the girl who was solding the tickets and asked her if she could make a special discount for us. ( things you do when you are drunk). the fuel....the fuel! what,s the point of drinking if the party ends so early?haha

for the record I like dancing and singing regardless of my energy and state :P but in this case I wanted it so badly xD.

One of my go-to bourbons of late has become Evan Williams Single Barrel.  I find it hard to beat at that price point and quality.  The only bourbon I'd say edges it out in that sub-30 dollar range is Elijah Craig, another go-to daily sipper for me.  I found Elijah Craig Single Barrel on sale Saturday in South Carolina for 23.50, five bucks cheaper than usual and ten bucks cheaper than it costs in North Carolina where I live.  I already had a half-full bottle in my bar, but figured I'd grab one anyway.  It was from a different store, and thus likely (and later confirmed to be) from a different barrel.  Plus I was bound to finish the previous bottle at some point in the near future.

Last night I decided to pop open the new one just to compare, and it's wild how different two bourbons with the same label can taste.  One is heavy on the brown sugar and cinnamon, each sip starting out sweet and morphing to pepper and cinnamon spice.  The other has that Elijah Craig (made by the same company, mind) nuttiness and baking spices, much smoother and little to no cinnamon.  Blind, you'd almost assuredly peg these as different bourbons.  The new bottle is the winner for me.  I had thought the older bottle was a bit too heavy on the sugar and the new bottle confirms it.

Thanks for this in depth reporting.   When things don't taste like they used to I generally blame my own tongue memory, but it can also be Them!!     Ha.   Imagine being the quality control guy at the bourbon plant and getting told you're doing a poor job, customers are noticing the difference between barrels, and your punishment is you'll need to taste test much more of the product from now on.   

The same thing happens at Taco Bells.  Wide swings in prices because they think one community's mean income level is higher so they can surely bear the additional cost per taco.  But it feels like the boning it is when you know the next town over is getting over on you.  And my god, it's impossible to find a decent enchirito these days, the traditional ways of crafting them have simply become a lost art, until you find a franchise run by someone who remembers eating the damn things in their youth.

Well, the whole point of single barrel products is that barrels can taste different.  This is why store picks are a thing at all.  Where the barrels are aged in the warehouse impacts the flavor, along with a variety of other factors.  A lot of small batch bourbons are blends of various barrels designed to create a consistent flavor profile that stays the same, or at least very close, from bottle to bottle and batch to batch.  Single barrel throws that out of the window.  You get the juice from one barrel, and it might be on the extreme end of the flavor profile spectrum for that particular brand.

Madness!       Why that would introduce a Pokemon style need for collectors to buy one from all the barrels.   Genius.  The thrill of each purchase being alive and unique and a gamble every time.   It'd be like if Taco Bell took back control of the hot sauce packets and started applying differently strengthed saucings to everyone's food during the chalupa construction phase.   

I'm not ready for this.  Homogenize my booze, Jim!   So that when people on both coasts raise their glass in a toast, they can boast about the same exact flavor experience.  That's what will unite a broken land for 2020.  We need identical boozing for a shared frame of reference, not always one half the nation being drunk for 4 years while the other half is sober.   I say this is a winning platform position that will bring us together again, joining labor interests with the indigent and the idle rich, and together we can craft an Andrew Yang universal booze income (UBI) plan as we shift from an Indian Gaming Casino economy to a hard liquor based economic model. 

 Now for a slogan, and viral vids of drunken protesters interrupting other people's protests to demand equality between lemons and limes, and an end to workplace discrimination against snockered americans.

Go drink 3 shots in a 10 minute timespan.

Then drink one 3/4 shot every 25 minutes for the next 125 minutes. 

After that repost your previous post from memory.

I think the resulting post may be more comprehensible to me.

Welcome to the cheap seats.

 

Currently drinking Jameson. Haven’t had it in like 5 years. Can’t remember why, it’s pretty good.

Isn't it obvious? @Jace, Basilissa is one of them sleepy agents, in charge of a sleepy sell...so, I guess like she's in charge of slashing mattress prices on Memorial Day?

I bloody knew it, To arms, to arms!

Prepare yourselves. Enemies within!

Fuck, why the hell was she left in charge of the armory?
