Happy hour starts in 5 minutes
Heading to Specs to see if I can find that Willet rye. Crossing my fingers!

To you guys getting the Willett Rye open it and leave it open little before you drink it. Rye seems to do well from getting a little air first. Or sip it ad leave it open a while and compare the difference.

I like to compare so I'll try a sip first then let it air awhile. I'm currently tracking my bottle en route.

I think so too. I try. Not to play it up to much Ina bourbon thread because while an excellent whisky it is not a bourbon flavor.

You have had great luck finding stuff I'm jealous!!!! Glad you love it!

True, it is a different flavor and this is a bourbon thread.

Hey, you have pointed in me the right direction; I just got lucky a few times. Plus, I'm dumb enough to overpay for some of this stuff! I'm definitely enjoying the new, good stuff. Thanks!
 
Picked up some Angles Envy, special Lincoln Henckleson (may have misspelled that) microblend that was pretty tasty yesterday. Also tried some Bulleit Bourbon, "Frontier Whiskey"

Woke up with quite a headache this morning for some reason.
 
Two things to avoid a headache. Hydration, drink lots of water before and after bourbon. If still have headache get better bourbon. The higher quality the alcohol the less impurities. Impurities amplify hangover symptoms big time.

Bourbon is meant for sharing, I actually rarely ever drink alone. My best friend and bourbon partner just bought a house a block off the beach in Ocean City, MD just below the DE border. We have named it the Bourbon Bungalow. Our summers just got way better. Our wives are good friends so the plan is to send them to the beach and then sit on the porch and sip bourbon. He's also getting a keg orator because as you well know Boone sipping bourbon all day can lead to trouble!! Have to mix in a little weak stuff.

Good News!

Alcohol reduces heart attacks, ichemic strokes and circulatory problems through a number of identified ways. They include:

  1. Improving blood lipid profile by increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol and decreasing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
  2. Decreasing thrombosis (blood clotting) by reducing platelet aggregation, reducing fibrinogen (a blood clotter) and increasing fibrinolysis (the process by which clots dissolve).
  3. Other ways such as increasing coronary blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and reducing blood insulin level.
The moderate consumption of alcohol appears to be more effective than most other lifestyle changes that are used to lower the risk of heart and other diseases. For example, the average person would need to follow a very strict low-fat diet, exercise vigorously on a regular basis, eliminate salt from the diet, lose a substantial amount of weight, and probably begin medication in order to lower cholesterol by 30 points or blood pressure by 20 points.
But medical research suggests that alcohol can have a greater impact on heart disease than even these hard-won reductions in cholesterol levels or blood pressure. Only cessation of smoking is more effective. Additionally, other medical research suggests that adding alcohol to a healthful diet is more effective than just following the diet alone.

Looks like Sunday the reviews should come Rollin in! I'm trying Jeffersons 25, and Four Roses 125th Single Barrel, Lanky has a new one to review too. Not sure he'll get to it by Sunday.
