Which one? Curious how part of it turned out. And let us me know what you think when you try the other.

Hello and welcome. On a side note I hope this place isn't going the way of my local Home Depot.

Part deux on the way.

Back home now and I have one from New Hamster the seems to contain the same.

Still waiting for dispatch. The Leave It To Beavers people said they will bring "it" over when they can

If nobody does and you can wait a bit I *should* have some at home.

Well it looks like I should be able to make it. And if things go as planned CJ 2011 as well!

I like my 701s. They can seem a bit sterile at times but sometimes it works with the right material/mood. I kind of liken them to a pair of studio monitors. Nothing super exciting on initial listen but there is a lot that they reveal.

I really hope that's a joke.

Oh let us know how that is. Irresponsible beer and all.

My suggestion would be to get a local dimming LED LCD TV. The Samsung 8500 series are pretty sweet and would be my choice but are in the top range of the price category. Samsung, Pioneer, and Pansonic also have some nice Plasmas with great picture quality but they won't look as good during the day with lots of light and they get hotter and use a lot more power.

Five Guys.

There is a good chance I might be able to make it. Originally I was supposed to be in the sand box but things are changing everyday. Have my fingers crossed.

Weller. I think it's comparable to the Stagg. I have the Eagle Rare and IMHO don't think it's all that great. The Thomas Handy is pretty good if you want a barrel strength rye.

No kidding. Pair of the 640s would have been nice to tear apart and put in my lappy.

Almost the same deal here. The four bottles they said they had were on hold for someone else but they did have a fifth that was not spoken for. I put myself on the list to reserve some for next year so I don't have to jump through hoops to get it. If you can find a bottle of the Weller from the same collection grab it. On a side note their prices seem really good. The Sazerac was $40 and the PVW 20 $77.

Love 'em

I love putting 5 Guys in my mouth. It's also nice being able to have their nuts while waiting.

Strangely I am also at a loss.

I'm skeptical of the above.

Definitely want to be able to do the entire tour at some point. MSRP was $350. They were selling the regular PVW 20 and 23 at the gift shop but nothing else. I was hoping they would sell my one but no luck. The guy pulled a full one off the filling line and jokingly handed it to my wife. Jokes like that are not funny.

On my way back from Alabama I made a little detour in Kentucky to stop at the Buffalo Trace distillery. They are the makers of some local favorites such as Sazerac, George T. Stagg, and the Van Winkle line. Figured I would share some pictures from my tour. Entrance to the distillary Water tower Entrance to gift shop Grain storage silos Mash cooker Cooked mash cooling in cooker Fermenter Small batch still Distiller testing station. The beer is distilled twice through two different stills. The stream from each still can be seen inside the barrels. Tasty 140 proof moonshine. First still is about 40ft tall. The alcohol comes out of the second still at about 140 proof and gets put into the barrels at 125 proof. One of the many storage houses. This is the original bonded warehouse. Machine filling All the good stuff is hand filled They were filling a special edition of the 23yr Van Winkle in those pictures. Comes in a crystal decanter with two crystal glasses all in a nice wooded box. Anyone in for a HC group buy? Great tour and great people down there. Highly recommended if anyone finds themselves in the area. Wish I would have had more time to check out some of the other distilleries.
