Had time to burn off any residue from the factory and get it a little seasoned. Life is busy right now, but hope to make time this weekend to do some grilling on it.
Reading through this thread gave me the itch for a new grill. We already have a 36" Blackstone and gave our old gas grill to a family member. The debate was down to a pellet grill or a simple charcoal grill. In the end, we decided the 22" Weber Kettle fit our needs best. Looking forward to...
Big Red does have high prices. I shop their sales, which are decent deals. Right now they have Knob Creek 9 for $18.39, which is a great price, in my opinion. I try to give my business to Red Barrel in Mooresville. Family owned store that offers great store picks. They don't mark up prices and...
I picked up one of the three newly released bourbons at Hard Truth last Saturday. I wanted to buy all three, but didn't want to spend $160. I tried all three, but they were tiny sample cups. I need more than that to really know how it is. I figured I would start with the least expensive at $45...
That's the High Road Rye, which is a $40. You may be confusing it with the Sweet Mash Rye, which is $70. It's still a great bottle for $35. Enjoy!
I bought one at Hard Truth and the first two times I tried it I thought it was just ok. I came back to it a week later it seemed like a different...
I picked this up today…..wow! This is the way bourbon is supposed to taste to me! This store pick was a couple dollars more than the regular single barrel. Wish I had the regular to compare them.
Picked up a bottle of Woodford Double Oaked today. I’m trying to enjoy it, but it just seems too “simple” for my tastes. I tend to prefer higher proof and would blame it on that, but I can name three similar proofed bourbons (Russells 10, Eagle Rare, Makers Mark) that I really enjoy. I suppose...
Here is a rye whiskey that I enjoy. It is actually made by a doctor the my wife used to work with. She got burned out in the medical field and truend to making this. It is $37.99 at Total Wine in Greenwood.

Here are a couple of my favorites. The Russells Reserve Single Barrel goes over the $50 mark, but the Rare Breed is $50 when I buy it at Total Wine. The regular Russells Reserve 10 Year is also excellent and well under $50.
I was at Sam’s Club at 9 AM this morning searching for Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Went to the bourbon area and none to be found. Next stop was Costco which opened at 10 AM, but my wife had to return something to a store over at Southport and Emerson. That store also opened at 10 AM, so once we...
I bought Wild Turkey Rare Breed recently for the first time. Being fairly new to bourbons, I didn't think my palette had advanced enough to really appreciate it when I tasted it the first time. A few days later I went back to some cheaper bourbon and my first thought was it didn't taste as good...
