    the way all of you talk about pliny has got me very curious. not saying i will, but where would i find it?  i'm guessing it's not at the corner liquor store.

    Hit me up next time you're near NB, I've got a ton. I'll pour you as much as you want.

    It's not too difficult to find if you know where to look these days. The best is places that serve it on tap, now that's a delicious rarity. 

    Pliny the Younger though, now that's a bitch to get in a glass. But so damn good.

    I love bulleit. It is super popular here in SF right now.

    The update is my barrel is aging in port.  I had a cocktail party a while back and a friend brought me 3 bottles of port (I didn't have 2 liters of any one kind on me), so that was perfect timing. I'm letting it age with the port 6-8 weeks, so has a little while to go. 

    Oh yeah I'm definitely using rye - agreed I like it better than bourbon in manhattans. As for which, at the same party another friend who works for woodford reserve brought me 4 bottles of great stuff including one of their master collection bourbon (which is f*cking awesome) and their straight rye. I had never tried their rye before, it was great so I might use that. It's a total experiment so I don't want to risk anything too fancy. But lot of options here.

    Off topic - I have been drinking a lot of Barrel Bourbon lately.  Highly recommend. I have the batch #13 right here and man is it great. They are really releasing good stuff, winning lots of awards and it's not super expensive.

    Did anyone here take my advice and give Barrel Bourbon a try?  Cheers if so!

    Barrel just won "Best Bourbon" and "Best Small Batch Bourbon" at 2020 World Spirits Competition.

    So f*cking good.

    My buddy ordered a shot of that once when we were out for a golf trip in La Quinta.  There were one and a half pours left, he said he'd buy one and a half if he could keep the bottle.  He alleged that if you took the empty bottle to where it's distilled, they'll fill it for free.  Turns out he wasn't the biggest dumbass.  It was all of us at the dinner who let another dumbass divide the bill and he included the Louis XIII

    na, nicely done on his part on both fronts.

    they def won't refill that glass decanter though.

    but they are gorgeous and you can fill it up with something even nicer than louis xiii like zima or king cobra and put it on display at home.

    My SiL has an unopened bottle of Louis XIII. Has had it for 15+ years. I always ask her to open it, but says she'll only do it at her wedding reception. Problem is, I don't see that happening anytime soon. 

    good things are meant to be enjoyed, not sit on a shelf. 

    here is a great scene from Neat, a fantastic documentary about Bourbon.

    this is freddie johnson, 3rd generation employee at Buffalo Trace with a little story on this topic:

    watching ozark last night (S1E8) where they do a flashback episode of how marty got involved with del. Showed a scene where they were drinking something (bourbon? scotch? i don't remember) but it was $175 a glass for this stuff. really?!? is that legit?

    that was louis XIII cognac. it's very good.

    $175 is a pretty good price, it's usually $200-250 a pour.

    it'll run you $3500-4k a bottle (750ml). every now and then Costco will sell a 1.75l for $6500.

    great show btw, we f*cking love it.
