Pops, I really, really liked Bruce Pearl...and think that what happened was a real shame...the SEC will miss his incredible talent as a coach. Hope your new guy does great things...I really do. Rivalry is fun...I'm a designer, but just posted a thread about Manufacturer's I Have Known, and featured Bobby Palkovic, one could call him a competitor... but more importantly he's a friend and incredible talent. We can all coexist, support one another... Thanks for the nice comment. Good listening. Larry |
I just finished my first bottle of Makers 46 and find it much more complex, and flavorful than Makers Mark. If you are unimpressed with Makers Mark, and have little interest in Makers 46 because youve heard that its regular Makers Mark, given a little extra aging with some additional Oak staves (true), dont let that deter you. Its quite an improvement, IMO. FYI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePKd69z9qOw |
Jim Beam is introducing a bourbon called Devil's Cut - it is a play on the "Angels Share" which is the roughly 30% that evaporates while aging in the barrel. There is bourbon left in the wood after dumping, Beam has found a way to extract that and marry it with 6 year old Jim Beam and bottled at 90 proof. I just tried some - it is spectacular! The wood and tannins from the barrel give it full-bodied flavor with a nice long finish - yummy! |
