FWIW, the Rebecca Creek Distillery has an offering called "Texas Ranger" Whiskey. As someone who isn't a big whiskey drinker, I have really enjoyed it. Heavy caramel finish on this one. At about $23/bottle, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Sorry if I'm late to the party with this info. Disregard if you already have/had this.

Friendly reminder that the annual BSoBR Christmas Party is this Thursday at 7:00 at The Cove.


Living in South Florida is pretty good most of the time. It’s events like this that make it pretty shitty.

Noob here. Is this a public party where anyone is welcome? I enjoy whiskey and would be interested in going, but I’m pretty new to this thread/topic and didn’t know if BSoBR is a club with dues/memberships etc.

No fees or nothing, just a way to meet up and get some good pours at a good price a couple of times a year. They normally give away a bottle or two, lots of good bottles have been donated for this event. You get a raffle ticket for every toy donated for Toys for Tots. 5 toys, 5 raffle tickets...

Yep that summarizes all the info Wick, I appreciate it. No fees/dues or anything like that. Just bring a toy or a few if you want to participate in the raffle. It should be a lot of fun tomorrow night. The raffle items are pretty darn crazy this event, I can’t lie.

Yes, this is perfectly acceptable

Make sure you don't share any samples with him/ her. And if you do, make an effort to hide it

Wanted to thank all the TD guys for showing up and bringing so many toys. We raffled off over 30 items including 20 bottles of liquor, mainly them bourbon/whiskey. Shout out to SMS, Wick, jflsu and whoever else came. Can’t remember all the TD handles anymore. Also shout out to The Cove and Calandros for donating bottles to our raffle, it definitely helped with getting so many toy donations. Speaking of that, I was hoping to get 50 toys that night, ended up with 187 toys for the toy drive and $500 in online donations. Not too shabby given the weather and everything else going on.

Geaux - how do you like the EC18? I picked up a bottle from the 2017 run but haven't opened it yet.

Relying on the spicy recipe to try to keep warm from this weather.
