I love my bonded JD series buy for me
Hey Darrell! Both the JD Bonded whiskey and rye is a absolute buy for me and will always have one on my shelf! I'm also glad to hear you got a new job and things are working out for the best!
Thank you so much for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate it and cheers~
Great video. These tell the tale.
Keep them coming ...
Dana
Hey Dana! It's a fun little video and hopefully I'll stay healthy enough to keep finishing 10 bottles every 3 months or so 😂.
Thank you so much for your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! Super appreciate all your support my friend! Cheers~
You got to think of the amount that you consume in a different way. Start thinking of the quantity in gallons. So you can say it’s less than 2 gallons. Now doesn’t that sound a lot less ? 😂
D
I am surprised you made it through the bottle of Sweet Wheat LOL! As for the Murray Hill Club that is a definite Buy More for me as well. Thank you for the great reviews, David!
Hey Rene! I'm going to be honest, I probably had less than half the bottle and it was more friends and giving samples that finished the bottle 😆. But everybody wants to try it... once 😂.
That Murray Hill Club is so good~ need to get another one quickly 😎.
Always super appreciate all your views and comments so quickly after video launch! Thank you for all your support and cheers ~
Love the original content! Well done!
Hey Thomas! Thanks a ton for the awesome compliment! I try my best to provide as entertaining content as I possibly can do as I know your time is precious and it's so cool you spend it watching me talk about whiskeys 😆.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
Great content David! I finished the Booker's Mighty Fine Batch and Tea Batch and not sure if I'll buy more. I bought a RR SB store pick from Corked Stearns Redondo Beach and my goodness do I regret not getting a backup. Will keep an eye for the next release. Keep up the great content and always enjoyable. Cheers! Congrats to the winners!
Hey Jesus! I'm really going to cut back on Booker's this year until something changes (age, price, etc.). I say that and always get one 😂.
Corked does some great picks and heard their RR Private barrels are always 🔥!
Always super appreciate all your views and comments so soon after video launch! Thanks for all your support and cheers ~
Great show...love this content. I generally agree on all that I have experienced.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment! 😊. Always love to hear great things from viewers! But also let me know if there is something you don't like or see things I can improve 😁. I was mostly disappointed in the "finished" bottles in the Amburana and the Double Oak. Seems I just like Straight bourbons and ryes 😎.
Thank you so much for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate it and cheers~
Good list David! Wish I would have grabbed a BEP when I had the chance. I am about to finish a KC 12 yr and will definitely be buying that again. Cheers!
Hey Keith! The more I had of the BEP, the more I liked it! It is an interesting pour with just one good note (sweetness), but wow does it do that really well 😆. The KC12 is another great pour and one I have 3 bottles currently as I don't want to run out 🤣.
Super appreciate all your views and comments so soon after I post the video! Thanks a million as always and cheers~
I enjoy these snap reviews. Keep em up.
Thanks a ton for the awesome compliment ☺️. Always feels good to hear that from viewers 😆.
Greatly appreciate your view and comment so soon after video launch! Helps me a lot and cheers ~
Enjoy the Murray Hill Club as well. Just picked it up a few weeks ago and really enjoy the bottle.
Hey Greg! Murray Hill Club is one underrated bottles these days and I'm happy it sits on shelves now for us in SoCal 😆.
Thank you so much for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
Just found your channel, digging your take on things, keep it up 💪
Thanks a ton for your fantastic compliment 😊. Hope you enjoy the content and I'll do my best to provide some fun content 😆.
I truly appreciate your view and comment! Thank you so much and cheers~
Good information I subbed keep up the good work.
Thank you so much and your sub really helps my channel and gives me the motivation needed to keep going! 💪
Super appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thank you so much and cheers ~
Look at that new intro and editing! You are becoming a pro at this!
Wow. Just got to the end of the video. Thank you. Thats so cool to win something 😂
Hey Glen! Congratulations on the giveaway win! 🎉. I made a slight mistake in the middle as I was trying new stuff but if I ain't improving, I'm declining 😎.
Thank you so much for all your support! Super appreciate it all and cheers ~
Loved that Cypress Craft pick as well. Loving the videos and channel as well. Would love to connect sometime if you’re local to the area cheers~
Hey Matt! Always up to meeting up with another bourbon enthusiast 😆. My email is in the description of the video (Whiskeybank23@gmail.com). Let's connect and see if we can work something out 👍.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
saw that you got that russells reserve from cypress craft and i live near there so i decided to follow cheers sir!
Hey Luis! Maybe we'll run each other sometime 😆. Southern California is a good place hunt but not very fun to do so due to the traffic and the high prices in most liquor stores. Hopefully my "whiskey haul" videos, which show where and how I get my bottles will help you out! (or maybe... you can give me pointer or two 😁).
I truly appreciate your view and comment! Thank you so much and cheers~
Good video! Im not a big fan of EC small batch for some reason. And that cypress pick, so good! I hear warehouse K is a wild card
Hey Danny! Didn't know about the warehouse K being a wildcard but that pick was absolute goodness of a bourbon 😆. Elijah craig small batch is an underrated bottle these days but one I'll always have.
So greatly appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Hope all is well for you and cheers my friend!
Congratulations Glenn and PizzaWarlord 🥃🥃
Hey Jeff! I'm sure you'll win next time! 😆.
Thanks a million for your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do!
Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
Elijah Craig and Larceny I don't seem to jive with. At the moment there is tons of A124 sitting on the shelves in my area. Jack Daniel's has been hitting a lot of strides, I've gotten pours of JD 10, JD 12, JD SBBP Rye, Twice Barreled and one or two others I can't remember the names of. My friend somehow finds them? EH Taylor Small Batch, you better believe that's a buy if you find it at the right price! Finally got a few pours of that recently! It's like a higher proof Eagle Rare that's a little younger, solid bourbon. Starlight, no idea. 1792 sweet wheat, I've only had the single barrel and full proof and wasn't impressed. I just missed a drop of the Bonded at one of my local stores. Russell's Single Barrel, I haven't had a store pick but I finally found where to get the regular Single Barrel. At 110 proof it's a nice step up from Wild Turkey 101. The whole peanut/nutty note wasn't as prominent as more oak and spice took over. Redwood Empire Rocket Top Bonded, I've only had Grizzly Beast Bonded but if that's any indication I'm sure the Rocket Top isn't bad but the price tag leaves you feeling punched in the gut. Joseph Magnus Murray Hill, I haven't had any Joseph Magnus but the regular black label bourbon is going for $100 in my area. Lucky Seven, no idea. Maker's Mark BEP, no idea. Only have had regular Maker's and cask strength. Man that Four Roses would be a nice bottle to receive! They aren't inexpensive at roughly $50 in my area.
I've been running on all cylinders lately myself. Tracked down a couple more ER bottles, my first EH Taylor small batch, a Four Roses OESO barrel strength and a regular Blanton's that has my birthday as the dump date. I did also find a Blanton's STFB but that is going to my friend for his wedding. His dad got him a Blanton's Gold and I found the SFTB. My friend is a Buffalo Trace mash bill #2 guy and I'm a mash bill #1 guy. 😂 He also cracked open his Stagg Batch 18 last I was at his place with his dad. Grape soda, cherry, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, strong tobacco, heavy baking spices and a nice long warm finish! That bottle is fire!! I saved the kicker for last! I found that Blanton's SFTB but as I said, that's going to be for my friend's wedding coming up. Wouldn't you know I stumbled into a Stagg Batch 22A the next week!? It was marked up a good amount but no way was I letting that bottle go! So I'll be opening up the Blanton's with my birthday as the dump date and the Stagg 22A on my birthday later this year! Whatever else I happen to find going forward I will be directing towards my friends. They helped me immensely in getting rolling with bourbon and now that I seemed to have found a little luck it's time to pay back that generosity! 😉
Hey Meta! That is awesome! Getting the SFTB for your friend is so cool! 😎 that Stagg 18 is good but that 22A is better! You'll absolutely love it and blanton's will taste thin after the Stagg 😂.
After your birthday pour of the Stagg 22A, let me know how you like it!
Always appreciate your views and comments so soon after video launch! Thank you for all your support and cheers ~
Damnnnnnn!! I just missed it due to the crazy schedule! 😢 maybe next time!!
By the way I like both of your Korean and English channels
I hope you are able to join the next giveaway with a little more free time on your hands 😆. Thank you so much for viewing both this channel and my Korean one as my Korean one is in the beginning stages and really needs help (I need help speaking Korean 🤣).
I super appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thank you so much and cheers~
i was hoping for more from the Lucky 7 as well.
I know! Lucky Seven Double Oak should have been the 13th Colony Double Oak, but it didn't even come close. I wonder why the proof did not match the flavor intensity. Very interesting bourbon.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
I have a store pick Frenchman lucky seven and a store pick holiday toast and they’re both phenomenal! if you ever see a store pick lucky seven I would snag it!! Cheers David 🥃
I wish I saw any Lucky Seven in my area but they don't come to California 😢. Only way I got it was through Seelbach's. But if they ever show up here with store picks, I'll be sure to pick one up!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank that’s where I snagged them from! They might still have them! Cheers
Nice! I’m always looking for a Russell’s store pick!
I found a Murray Hill Club a few months ago and the store owner told me 50.00 so I bought it to try and it’s really nice! I like my BEP & BRT-01 and my MM store pick but not fond of any others I’ve tried. Cheers!
Hey Nick! Murray Hill Club for 50??? I would have asked for a case 😆 Maker's Mark has some misses, but mostly I like their offerings, including 46 cask strength and store picks. And a RR private barrel is always a buy!
I super appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! Thank you so much and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank it was at a tiny convenience store and the owner said he wanted a few different bottles off his shelf so I started asking about different bottles. He had this bottle and I also got a Belle Meade Madeira for 55.00
2 Larceny B521 50.00
Blue Run Reflection 55.00
Old Forester 90 proof pick 45.00
Sam Houston 14yr 70.00 then a week later he found another Sam Houston 14yr so I bought that one for 60.00 not sure why but he was dealing!
@@nickp5511 nice~~~~ 🎉 hopefully that trend continues at that store 😆
I need to revisit the Russell's picks. And try the Rocket Top.
I haven't had a bad RR Private barrel yet and the Rocket Top is a good pour but just a tad too expensive 😆.
Thanks a million for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Greatly appreciate it all and cheers~
I am a Bartons 1792 fan but I don't care for their wheat or rye, everything else is a treat im especially fond of the BIB and Full Proof, recently I've I've been getting the Small Batch on sale for around 23 bucks which is a super deal also I love all the Four Roses and have for many years, Russells,WT anything except the 81 proofs are great.
Hey Frank! I absolutely agree! 1793 BiB and Full Proof are great but the wheat is just a miss for me. And to hunt for it? No thanks 😆.
Thanks a million for your view and comment so soon after video launch as you always do! Truly appreciate it all and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank It's an honor sir.🥃
교수님!!! 잘 보고 있습니다!!! 전부다 한국에선 못구하는 술이네요...ㅋㅋㅋ 일라이저크레이그는 가능하고 1792 스위트위트는 씨가 말랐습니다 ㅋㅋㅋ

미국 영상도 봐주시고 너무 감사드립니다 ~~
👍👍👍
I liked this one a lot because I haven’t tried a good portion of those bottles. The only bottle that I really want to try that I have not is the Rocket Top. I’m just a Redwood Empire fanboy I guess.
What did I finish so far this year? JD Twice barreled rye, I’m already missing that bottle. Rock Hill Farms, to me is much better than Blanton’s. I’d buy again in a heart beat. Larceny C923, was good but probably never again. Weller 107 and Full Proof, will buy again in multiples given the chance.
Hey Jim! If I had those bottles, I would also not drink the ones I did 😂. JD twice barreled rye is a good one and wish it was more available 😆.
Thanks as always for viewing and commenting so quickly after video launch! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
I’m a fan of Lucky Seven but prefer their non-finished offerings like The Hold Up and The Proprietor. Those are buy more’s for me. I think their finished stuff like Holiday Toast and The Frenchman are OK but not quite worth the price…agree on the never more on those bottles. These days I don’t really enjoy any finished bourbons. Now, finished ryes are a different as I really enjoy those. Cheers!
Hey Scott! I agree that finished ryes are better than finished bourbons as the spice in the rye really balances out the sweetness of the finish.
I need to try to get some regular Lucky Seven bourbons but they are not distributed here in SoCal 😆.
Thanks a million for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
레드우드 엠파이어 한국에도 최근 들어왔던데 한번 마셔봐야겠네요

@@WhiskeyBank 소매점에선 14만원이고 코스트코에선 9.9만원입니다🥲
@@_hello-world_ 고맙습니다~ 😆
Nice to see someone call out Redwood Empire for being overpriced in some items. Rocket Top is good but man rather have a Sagamore any day over it and like you said the JD SiBBP Rye is fantastic $30 cheaper.
EHT anything is a must buy if msrp.
Joseph Magnus makes great bottles.
Only have the Lucky Seven The Frenchman and that one is good.
MM BEP is a nice pour and $10-20 cheaper than the store picks and equivalent imo
Wow
Thank you
Hey Pizza! Congratulations! I got your email and will reply shortly 😆.
Redwood empire is great as their standard lineup is super value and cask strength versions are delicious at 70. But the BiB series are a little overpriced... Hopefully they rethink it and bring the prices down slightly 😉.
Always appreciate all your views and comments so soon after video launch! Thank you for all your support and cheers ~
Sadly, Murray Hill Club is now up to 119.96 in its home state. It will be interesting to see if the upcoming MHC Special Release Batch #4 lives up to the 199.99 price tag.
Hey Tim! That is quite expensive and I would probably not buy at that price. Hopefully the prices will come down a bit like it did here 😆. I was not aware of the MHC Special Release batch but at that price point... I'll have to probably see some reviews before I buy it as that is a very high price point. Hopefully it lives up to the price!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
Congrats to the winners. David your generosity is part of what makes this channel special. Great review as always. It sounds like SoCal might not get everything but the prices are great. Hope you have a great week
I need to do more to promote the giving culture of this awesome community! I'm going to be honest and I have been a little lazy on these things but will be more active in the future. I'll need to think of more creative ways to do so 😆
Thank you so much for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate it and cheers~
These are always some of my favorite videos! Thanks for the info
Hey Dustin! These are some of my favorite videos as if I have that many empty bottles, it means I had a good time the past couple of weeks 🤣. Thank you so much for the awesome compliment and I truly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thanks a ton again and cheers~
Woodford regular, no re-buy. Rittenhouse rye, re-buy, great mixer/cheap sipper
I need to buy that Rittenhouse Rye bottle soon as I have overlooked it again and again.
Thanks for the reminder 😆.
Greatly appreciate your view and comment so soon after video launch! Thanks a million and cheers ~
Just trying to help. You are helping all of us. It's heaven hills, youthy, mild, well made. If that was aged like 10 years it would be a great pour. It's probably the start for pikesville and their other ryes. @@WhiskeyBank
Great lists David. I also thought 1792 Sweet Wheat was underwhelming. I was so excited to get one at MSRP and ended up disappointed. Love those RR Private Barrel store picks. My liver would be hurting if I finished 10 bottles in less than 3 months! 😝 I have 3 bottles of MM BEP. Love sweet bourbons. 🥃 Congrats to Glen and PizzaWarlord.
Hey Dave! The 1792 sweet wheat was probably just too hyped up and if I wasn't expecting greatness, maybe it would have been a good pour 😆.
I haven't had a bad RR Private barrel yet!
You were ahead of the game by getting 3 bottles of BEP when you could 😎.
Always appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thanks a million for everything and cheers my friend~
Nice review! Question though…. What do you do with your empty bottles 😂 I find it hard to toss mine
My wife makes me throw it away right after recording 😂. That's why this is her favorite type of video as I empty out the shelf 😆.
Thanks a million for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
People sleep on the Murray Hill Club but that is a great bottle!!!
Agree
I absolutely agree! I was allocated for about 2 years when it first got popular but now it just sits on the shelf. I'm glad since I can pick it up anytime I want but the Murray Hill Club deserves more praise!
I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you guys always do! I hope all is going well on your channel (haven't tuned in these days as I'm not too much into Irish whiskey 😆, but will go back when I see bourbons again!) Thanks a million and cheers~
I really like this series you do. Living with a bottle absolutely can change your opinion of it. Love it. I do have beef with you on the RE Rocket Top though... that's a real gentleman's whiskey in my opinion. I do wish it was a bit cheaper though for the proof point. I have a batch 3, and I think I'll buy a backup of it even! You influenced me to buy my first Murray Hill Club, and it's really an exceptional bottle that's very unique.
Hey Bryce! I like the RE Rocket Top bottle, but for a 5 year Bottled in Bond... it's just a little too pricy. The Old Overhold 10 Year Rye is the same price and more pricy than the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye. I understand those are allocated, but I would take the Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Cask Strength at 70 over the Rocket Top at 90 (both great, just the price difference). I have seen it come down slightly to around 80 so if it does come down a little more, I'll probably pick up a bottle as I do like it 😆.
The Murray Hill Club is just awesome and that blend with the light whiskey really sands down the rough edges but still has the sweetness and fruit with a nice balance of spice and bitterness at the end 😀.
I truly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thanks a ton and cheers~
Its always fun to see what other people list as something they will buy again or pass on... thanks for the insight into your palate! Cheers!
Hey Troy! It's also fun to drink all these bottles for research 😆.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
On point as always. Starting to see our pallets are identical.
Hey Dave! If you like to finish 10 bottles in 2 months, our pallets align 😆. I'm going to honest, it's a lot of fun drinking these bottles and more fun finding these wonderful gems! Hopefully the craft movement will continue to be awesome so we don't have to rely on the big distilleries and their allocations.
Thank you so much for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate it and cheers~
I can’t believe I didn’t win LOL. I definitely agree on some of those bottles David. It’s always nice to be able to say you had it but sometimes you just gotta try something new because there’s only so much space/money and so many great bottles out there. Although a bottle may be good, it may not be great and or memorable. Cheers David 🥃🥃😎
Hey Michael! Absolutely agree on the good bottle, but time to move on 😆 Amburana finish is definitely that type where it was a good time and maybe in a year or so I'll think about it... but it's not something I'll get anytime soon. We are lucky to be in the middle of the bourbon boom with so many options!
Thanks a million for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate for all your support on my channel and cheers~
Only ten really you drink slow. I’m averaging three a week. Yes I drink every night only three sometimes just two depends on proof 1.5 oz a night usually three bottles a night I hit. Only have five open at a time. I’ve been drinking for over 40 years and the older I get it really helps me sleep. Between tinnitus and just not sleeping well it helps. Never hung over again I don’t drink too get drunk just till I can sleep. Getting old isn’t for sissies. Trust me.
Hey Scott! I need to pump up my numbers! 😆 I do have more than 5 bottles open at a time due to this channel but also I like to have different pours throughout the week. Maybe I need to reduce the open bottles 🤔.
Always appreciate your views and comments so soon after video launch! Thanks for all your support and cheers ~
EH Taylor is about $125+ in 95% of the country. You Tubers should not be promoting brands that are so inaccessible and go so far above MSRP. Get on the side of the customer. Don't promote for the distributors and distilleries whose sales and marketing practices drive these prices through the roof.
Hey Chris! This video of "buy more or never more" is mostly filled with bottles that are very accessible and price friendly. Of course there are some that are allocated, but many are allocated for a good reason (tastes fantastic!). I think marketing practices can only take a whiskey so far. Example would be 2XO: Great looking bottle, great name behind it (Dixon Dedman), and awesome marketing to boot. With all that, first couple of batches sold out quickly due to the hype, but as more people realized that the price (and marketing, etc.) didn't match the whiskey in the bottle, now it just sits on shelves in my area. And vice versa, even if there is no marketing or push by distilleries, if it's good and sold at fair prices, it'll sell out quickly and be allocated.
It is very unfortunate many good bottles (especially from Buffalo Trace) is allocated and hard to find. I do wish it was different, but I (and other WhiskeyTubers) need to address and make videos based on reality today instead of what we wish or hope will happen. I wish and hope all bottles will be findable at msrp soon and will continue to hope and wish 😆. Until then, I guess we have to continue to drink the good bottles on the shelf at good prices 😀.
Super appreciate your view and comment! Have a great day and cheers~
Elijah Craig SBatch, will always be on my shelf.
JD Bonded, I like but $36 for 700ml it's a no.
ET BiB $21 for a liter another shelfer for life.
Woodford Res $35 yes again.
Woodford Res. Double Oaked never more, OF 1910 or 1920 better.
MM 46 $27 for life.
Trails End 10 year when on sale for $59, always buy.
Ben Holladay BiB $60 probably never more.
Bernheim Original $29, more and more.
Basil Hayden no no no no no not gonna ever.
Nelson Bros Res. $40 a big yes.
Pikesville Rye $50 for life.
Clyde May's $28 buy more(just finished last night, I've got 3 back-ups)
Larceny SBatch $50 1.75L always.
NULU Res $67 is a BIG yes.
Evan Williams BiB $35 1.75L another more may I please have another.
I drink more Knob Creek 9 than any other bottle $27, nuff said.
Hey Andre! I agree with most of your list but was very curious on the Ben Holladay BiB being a "never more". What did you not like about it? Price? Taste? Just curious as it got some good reviews.
Thank you so much again for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Super appreciate it all and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank It's good David but $60, it's more hype than value IMO. I might still try their Soft Red Wheat, maybe.
@@andrettski8686 interesting... thanks for the information!
@@andrettski8686I thought the same thing about the ben holladay. For $60 one bottle was more than enough. It was just ok, but for $60 there are so many other bottles that are just as good if not better.
I was more curious about the kc9 at $27, where's this state of affairs, because i'd cheat on my $45 leopold 4 year all day. Great run down. I'm phone pic'ing it to take to the store this month.
EH Taylor SB is not available for near $70 in most places. My belief is that all bourbon You-Tubers should sign a pact to skip reviewing any whiskey that has (on average) more than a 100% markup over MSRP. Or at a minimum be very clear in making value assessments at real prices, not fictitional MSRP.
Hey Chris! You're right, I think I was trying to go too fast through my "slam dunk buy mores" and didn't explain the allocated nature of the EH Taylor Small batch enough. It's also a little due to the fact that here in Southern California, it has gotten easier (not easy, just easier) to find the EH Taylor at close to msrp.
No idea what's happening behind the scenes but buffalo trace products are now visible if I put in some effort to hunt it down 😆. Hopefully you'll see one at msrp very soon!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Helps me a ton and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank Appreciate the response and excuse my frustration. Yes much variation across the country and it's complicated. As a consumer trying to find these bottles at an affordable price I find that most reviewers treat availability and huge MSRP multifples like they don't matter or don't exist. This "haves and have nots" reality is souring my love of bourbon. Maybe winning a lottery will cheer me up, but I have not been lucky.
Keep on doing your thing. I like your reviews and have made several purchase decisions based on your recommendations. EG., I stayed clear of the Still Austin select pick for $70 and instead have been loving the regular cask strength for $50! Thanks!
10 bottles in 2.5 months....how is your liver?
It's his friends you have to worry about. He is lookin good. No more off topic discussions.
Hey David! I finished them but most likely they weren't full of January 1st 😆 (hopefully not as that means I'll probably need to go see a doctor soon 😢).
I do provide many samples and have tastings with friends at my place which really helps with finishing these bottles 😎.
But so far... I'm still alive 😂.
