Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

Aha. And moderately priced to boot.

Lots of celebrity & sports athletes have gotten into the wine, tequila & now Bourbon business because it's quick to bring to market; no aging. And it didn't hurt when Geo Clooney sold his Tequila brand for $1Billion!

Ol BD is amassing quite the late-in-life empire he certainly didn’t need. I like to see projects like this though, even if they are unreachable. The bottle alone if with his painting is a nice touch.

Yesterday evening a local Omni Brewing Porter was my beer choice.

Home yesterday to move snow from a dusting of 3 inches of fluffy snow and rewarded myself with a Omni Pils (hazy Pilsner).

Cheers, Eric -

After that rather reflective on life interview he gave around his birthday, & the recent sale of his song catalog for $300M, I really wonder. He will really be leaving a legacy behind for his heirs.

Assuming there could be another 5 yrs, maybe more of the annual Bootleg Series a full set could be worth something someday. You better grab one from 2020 while you can!

Brunch on the deck. The mild, 18'f temps make it comfy to eat some fried rice, shrimp and a couple of soft boiled eggs. A Founders Unraveled IPA, very flavorful dry hopped IPA, is a perfect celebration for brunch.

I tip my brim in appreciation of Greg's, Bamaboot, "alert" to the Stetson 7X I am sport'n this morning. It is a terrific 7X Clear Beaver at a steal of a price. Thanks Greg!

No needed chores, no errands means the day is mine to choose. A luxury I am determined to enjoy.

Cheers, Eric -

Wow Eric, that sounds completely out of character! Hopefully you enjoy yourself and aren’t bored out of your mind.

Thank you, Eric and you’re welcome as well. Great to see fine hats reach deserving heads. A fantastic hat to assist you in ushering out this year. Enjoy the day!

Have you tried the regular before? I see it often, but just can't pull the trigger on it with the price tag. I'm not really into nursing bottles.

No I have not. Not a huge Bourbon guy anyway, & for the last X number of months I have been buying either curbside thru a phone app or online & shipping in. Haven't been inside to see what's new on shelves.

Curbside is something I hope will continue when this pandemic is over. The slogan should be "I Tip For Curbside".

Oh how I wish I had these bottles. But anyway a toast to days gone by.

So long 2020... hello 2021

Happy New Year

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Happy New Year Everyone!

Thinking of putting together a Tequila order to include a bottle of Blanco or Repo to pair well with my BSHW.

I see all the colors pairing well with that heather, HJ.

In reading the reviews it scores well & sounds like my kind of Tequela with strong blue agave tastes. No additives or sugar. I'm not really a Anejo or Extra Anejo drinker. Still shopping out the case count but I may get a bottle ea of the other two.

Some Anejos I’ve liked but I’ve never drank an EA that I thought was all that special, especially at the price point of that one.

Here's one I'll pass on, Fat Ass Tequila! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Probably $12.99 gal & people who swear it's good.

@Blare
Shopping around I found a Tequila for you to consider. But by translation I wouldn't expect it to be too smooth.

After some charcoal grilled burgers I wanted to stick with the smoky theme. NBD, Ardbeg Wee Beastie! Peaty Islay Scotch is great after a charcoal steak or burger, but it's also good with grilled chicken.
