I was seriously considering pouring something at 8:00 am but decided not to risk the hour-long drive to my parents'.
Thanks so much, friends. Love you all and hope you had a great thanksgiving!
Anyone else enjoying Four Roses as much as me? They are easily the most consistent American distillery I've come across. Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace certainly have their moments but Four Roses kills it every time, in my experience. I even find Yellow Label to be the first 80 proofer that's not a watery mess and has some surprising flavor to it.
A few years ago I was down 50 to Brent with only Rodgers going. He dropped 55 and I laughed at Brent for days.
I won't do the same this time... Except to just smile and facepalm at the level of suck that has become the Chicago Bears.
I will truly, truly miss the Foie Gras dog. Wanted to get back one more time but just too many goddamn people. I will reflect fondly on walking straight in with zero wait in line on a Tuesday during February.
