I need to pick up a bottle of AE. I've only had it once but I was drunk at the time and don't remember much about it.

Blantons is good. My only issue with having any bourbon over rocks is as the ice melts it changes the flavor and gets watered down as you drink it. What I like to do is arse either a cube or some crushed ice and melt it all the way before I start drinking so its good to the last drop. I drink a lot of it neat tho.

I drink a lot neat as well. When I do add ice I do something similar. I add one small cube and let it melt fully before diving in.

Question...anywhere I can find ETL in the BR area right now?

Gotcha..

The wife got me these, to help my new hobby. Plus it's cool as hell to have a giant ice ball in a class.

I usually pick up a new bottle every payday. Was hoping to score a bottle of that. Not sure what I'll pick up now. I'm open to suggestions.

yea regular Elmer hasnt been around BR for a while. Commemorative came and went pretty quick a few weeks ago. if you like Elmer though your closest bet that you can actaully find on shelves is probably gonna be Blantons

I use these (ice spheres). I like to sip until the dilution gets to the perfect spot then I fish it out with a spoon and enjoy the rest of the glass.
