LPD: More Pikesville...it's pretty good. Not sure about another bottle. However, I need/want more good and cheaper rye.

Doubtful, too far for a work night and a belly of bourbon. It does include a bottle, what is the going rate on that? $50, so $50 bottle of bourbon and $60 meal. The price is not outrageous...

Doesn't it include the pours of each of those Russel picks in between each course? Way I interpreted it. If so, those alone could run you $30-40.

Tiger Attorney,

Your thoughts on the 4R Elliot's Select? Grabbed two bottles yesterday. Pricey, but I've heard good things. TIA

TA has been trying his best, but the flavor profiles just aren't what I'm looking for in a whisky.

So far mine has been very disappointing....I have a couple of store picks FR that I much prefer. Just an opinion though.

BHam...01%....so you're saying there's a chance?

I thought the same thing about Elliotts, it was good but there are store picks for a quarter of the price that are better.

TA, what proof is your Elliot's? And what's the other info on the front? Just curious. Trying to pin down the location.

Here's mine (which I really like):

Finally some football! Even if it's pac 12 being played in Australia.

Eh Taylor showed really well, and I prefer Martin's new pick to last year's.
