Mesa Verde is a really cool place. I just got back a couple of weeks ago from 10 days in Capitol Reef N.P, Arches, N.P., Canyonlands N.P., Monument Valley, Lower Antelope Canyon, and Zion N.P. Love that part of the country.

Sooo...I just came into possession of a bottle of Blanton's Special Reserve Gold Edition. My go to is usually Bulleit, so I am guessing this will be a significant step up. How good is this stuff?

Uh, significant...yes

It's really really good juice...I prefer the Straight From the Barrel a little more but the Gold is still excellent

It says it's "dumped" from the barrel, and gives the date and barrel #. Same thing as "Straight from the Barrel?"

edited-NVM I looked it up and see the distinction.

Had a few pours in Telluride last night...




I explained how I liked my old fashions and told the bartender he could pour till he got tired...




Took a gondola ride in the evening with another old fashioned...
