James (May) Gin & tonic
cheers!
Cheers. I like a good Gin and Tonic but I have taken a liking to Vodka Tonics in the past few years.
Ted and I had some fun this afternoon. We divided up a Michter's Toasted Barrel into sample bottles. The MTB is just becoming available here in Iowa and of course we kept a sample for ourselves.

Then it was of to Whiskey Road for a sip or two. (well, may be 3)
Tonight's samples.
Anyone else drink Uncle Nearest? I heard it is getting hard to find.
I have a bottle of 1884. Its just ok and probably will be one and done for me.
I finally bought a 1884. Like you said Meh! The 1856 is much better. Free tasting at Mopar Maxx in June. I wish we could get a flyer going. New date June 10-12 2022
I'm going to take the three day no drinking challenge....
It will be a big sacrifice, but I will try!
Pretty sure I will fail, regardless of the dates!
Thought I was too late for the challenge then I remember today is only the 28th. I think I can do it too. 
You fellas better load up tonight so you can make it through the next few days.

Cheers to Bottled in Bond Day 3/3/22
March 3rd marks 124 years since the passage of the Bottled-in-Bond Act. Find out what this still means for your Bourbon today!
Back before the days of carefully crafted whiskey and Bourbon made by some of the finest palates in the world, consumers couldn’t always be sure what was pouring out of their Bourbon bottles. Then came the Bottled-in-Bond Act. In 1897, the US government passed this law with support from distillers and drinkers alike to ensure consistency and quality.
Popularized by brands like Old Fitz, Heaven Hill, and EH Taylor, the Bottled-in-Bond act was created in part by Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. The founder of Old Taylor Bourbon and the builder of the Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key), he advocated tax incentives for participating distillers for their cooperation with Treasury agents patrolling the federally bonded warehouses. Every bottle of E.H. Taylor Small Batch sold today still bears the bottled-in-bond statement.
To recieve the label of “bottled-in-bond,” Bourbon must be..
– The product of one distillation season (either January to June or July to December), at one distillery, by one distiller
– Aged in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision for at least four years
– Bottled at 100 proof
– Labeled with both the location of the distillery and the bottling
– And produced in the USA

Bottle kill. I have been working on this one for a while. It was a Van's pick and a good one. Had rough week. Mom passed away and I need a sip or two. Mom wasn't a drinker but she would understand. Cheers and RIP.

For the homebrewers on this site, here's a killer deal on two 5-gal kits from MoreBeer:

$50 for two 5-gal all grain kits (Irish stout and Irish red ale). They even include the dry yeast in that price.

I have used the More Beer kits with good results.
