@Denimhead-0 didn’t open the Foursquare yesterday. Will let you know when I have tried it

[mikebarhoot]

@Jett129 i really like their bourbons and hanging out at their ranch since i dont have one any longer… but…. IMHO their price points are way too high. example, the ‘Cowboy’ bourbon we bottled this week sells for $250 ea. thats above my pay grade for bourbon. i mean, thats .5 pr of XHSIB

@tody what’s in the cup?

[tody]

@Tago-Mago Mezcalita. Not the first, won‘t be the last.

@Denimhead-0 tried it today, May have to give it another round with at least one of the Exceptional Cask Series I own. Cask strength definitely coming through more prominently here than in the other Foursquare I've tried, but not overpowering. Really spicy pepper on the tongue, rich, creamy, not overly dry. Long finish, that helps take the edge off the high ABV a little, if that makes sense? Just another really good bottle from Foursquare.

Edit: major bonus points for no added sugar or colour, as far as I am aware. True 15 years as well

maybe this has been discussed before, but: Anybody have experience with a consistent, easy way to make big clear ice cubes?

@WhiskeySandwich

Look into directional freezing. You'll need a fair bit of freezer space for this. Basically get a cooler that's insulated from 5 sides and open on top, fill it with water and freeze. It'll freeze from the top down (the " directional" part of directional freezing) and push impurities to the bottom as it does. Once you take out the whole block of ice, you'll have a clear top half and a cloudy bottom half

Hmmm, really nice @scooter many thanks

@WhiskeySandwich use distilled water that works best

When the weather cools down nothing beats an old fashioned. I prefer WT 101.

[Jett129]

@Johnnyutah247 Have you tried the new 8yr WT101.Really good and at $39.99 a great value for an 8 yr old bourbon.

[Jett129]

Road testing this one tonight. Checking a lot of boxes for me. Real classic bourbon for me. Loving the finish.

This is kind of funny. Tomorrow is a good friends birthday, I know he likes Tequila, so I went through our liquor stock pile and found this. Milagro Special Barrel Reserve Anejo Tequila.

Then I googled it and saw the retail price.

Get in there Ralph........:-)
