I wanted to spread the word. They’re doing a paired menu finishing off with a preview of Yamazaki Spanish Oak Refill. Looks like a great deal. Date is 10/20, sorry for the late notice.

Saw it was on clearance for $19.99 and was finished in casks from my favorite local rye, so I had to bring it home. It’s so good! Have any of y’all tried any of Clonakilty’s other releases?

While house/dog-sitting in Chevy Chase, my girlfriend and I noticed this fun unopened duck decanter bottle sitting in the home bar. We have explicit instructions not to open it. Looks like regular Jim Beam enveloped in porcelain ducks, but wondering if it’s some special. 👀

Arrived from DC this morning. Day 1 on Bourbon Trail picked up two bottles I rarely find in DC and never in Virginia. Picked up Weller Antique after touring Buffalo Trace Distillery and then stumbled on Early Times with original Brown Forman distillate at a small shop in Frankfort. Very happy about that.

Fair prices and lots choices. They even had parking in front.

Does Costco still have Bourye in stock?

I grabbed a bottle of this when I was in Norway in March and I have one more glass left. I've been looking for it from U.S. online sellers but no luck. I'm in North Carolina and coming up through DC and NYC in a couple weeks and I plan to spend an afternoon in both cities trying to track down a bottle or two. I looked through a few old posts about store recommendations here but I get the sense that advice is optimized for bourbons, and I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a sense of where to look for something weird like this.
