Elijah Craig toasted barrel is actually very good for the proof. It is hyped much more than it should be and obviously if it ain’t your thing it ain’t your thing but most people really do enjoy it. If you haven’t tried it I would suggest doing so and find out for yourself. If you’re considering buying it don’t pay more than retail.

I think I'll take it on an upcoming road trip and finish it in a jiffy. I've bought Old Tub BIB a couple of times for a mixer for 18.99 here in So Cal. Not bad at that price it is always finished quickly. So no idea what it tastes like a month later. Cheers.

Biggest annoying thing for me: people in expensive cars that do not know how to use turn signals!!! What? Was that an option you choose NOT to install? It is a turn signal...which means you are alerting people of your intention to turn. You don't use it after you started the turn...or changed lanes right in front of me (with minimal clearance)...but to let others know AHEAD of time...five seconds at least...that you intend to turn/change lanes. And while I am fuming about that...I hope these same idiots are upside down in debt and have bought every bottle you listed here. Heck, they probably even like them!!!! Great segment Matt...you are spot on with your views! Cheers!

The only one I liked was Blackened(Metallica)but I got a flask size, so I wouldn't slap my brother if it was terrible. Poor guy ducks everytime I come over with a new pour.
