…and I was a duck, I’d dive to the bottom and I’d never come up. What you know about Charlie Poole?

I have been lurking around straightbourbon.com forums and have been taking names and really they know their stuff. I went to bevmo today and bought a bottle of Elmer T. Lee and Eagle Rare both are single barrel bottles. I prefer the Elmer T. Lee though, it is simply delicious. I have also purchased a 20 year old bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and another bottle of the 12 year old Special Reserve, Lot B. I think Elmer T. Lee and the Special Reserve are tied for my favorite after work sippers.

The 20 year old is awesome but the fact that it’s a $100 a bottle has me rarely drinking it unless it’s a special occasion… like friday or days I mourn the loss of my father (the 12 of every month) or something else (the day I quit my job and go somewhere where they actually pay me at least half of what my time is worth). It’s only been around for a few weeks but every now and then a special day will come up and I will pug a few fingers.

And now for photos from other peoples sites:
