Morning, all.
Good morning GubmentJoe!
Hey there, Shaun. Still waiting to hear back from the city on the job I applied for last week. I imagine they're cleaning out my corner office before calling to offer the position. Workin' the chaotic world of small business/private sector today, LOL. Excited to come in today since I've got some really nice whiskeys being delivered that I 'won' the chance to purchase in a BevMo lottery.
Hope it works out, would be nice to have that all lined up! What spirits arrive today?!?!?!
Not getting my hopes up for this job, to be honest. It COULD work out, I guess I wouldn't be totally stunned if it did, but since I don't yet have the experience or the degree they might not qualify me. Depends on the applicant pool and if they know my supervisor with the county and take his recommendation, I guess. We'll see.
Got a bottle of William Larue Weller and Thomas H. Handy Sazerac rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection coming in. Might actually be a Sazarac 18 year instead of the THH, the order screen had one pictured and another listed. Wanted them both so I ordered it anyway. Can always trade or sell it for something else.
A write up of this year's collection, for anyone interested: http://www.drinkhacker.com/2014/09/15/review-buffalo-trace-antique-collection-2014-edition/
Just wanted to post that good lookin pic.... MMmmm
They're my most anticipated release each year, just wish it wasn't so damn hard to get even ONE bottle. Last year I got lucky and found an Eagle Rare 17, WLW, and a Stagg.
You wouldn't have to twist my arm any for a drizzle of that Weller. Good looking stuff for sure. Did you give the $80 ea.?
Sure did. It's BevMo, a chain liquor store, so they charge MSRP for everything. People have been waiting in line outside of stores overnight for this stuff. Fucking lunatics. They went to an online lottery system this year, which is much better. I refuse to wait in lines for this sort of thing, it's "just" whiskey.
