Bug, I did the same thing when a honey hole said I just missed the boat on the BTAC’s (which have actually gotten at least one rough review this year)

Saw the 1920 on the shelf and left a happy camper.

Great minds!

Next pour was some eagle rare and the final pour of the night was egg nog spiced with a little eagle rare.

ETA: and I’ve realized, I can handle barrel proof much easier when it’s really cold on a big ice ball.

It’s actually a good way of enjoying BP pours...allows you to enjoy the transition to a lower proof. ECBP drinks great with an ice mold.

How do you like that Screwball? It’s pretty good straight out of the freezer.

Oh man some good pours tonight:

Russell's 2002 distillate...man I didn't know this existed but now I need to hunt one of these down

40 yr aged Cognac - don't have a big frame of reference with Cognac but this stuff was awesome.

the 4R Al Young is also deserving of the hype it gets

I don't think I've seen in Louisiana, but definitely check out this Redbreast Cask Strength if you see it.

Highly thought of by many. Comes in a nice glass decanter. I would probably hop on it.
