I like High West. I tried a flight of them and they were really good, though the campfire was a bit too smoky for my tastes (I mean, for a whiskey. I like mezcal). Their Double Rye was my favorite of the ones I tried.
Old Overholt is my go-to, cheap priced yet good to drink rye.
As LJo1 said, Bulleit is good, but it's…

WHY AREN'T YOU RUNNING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION

That does sound nice!

In Newport, there was a really good, fancy restaurant, Tallulah on Thames. They've been expanding, but only as a taco shop (which was completely contrary to what they were doing at that original location), and they recently closed the main restaurant. Not sure if it was because of loss of profit, or just a focus on…

I agree with your assessment (and a lot of people's dislike) of Unbreakable. Going into it expecting a superhero movie, it's going to be a huge disappointment. I really enjoyed it and would put it as my #2.

We settled on a location for the post-wedding, specifically not a reception party. This place will allow us to not only bring our own booze, but we don't need a TIPS certified bartender. Now we just need to decide if we want to do this party this year a month after the wedding, or wait until next year, since people…

Which are the old bourbons? Easier to whittle down this way. And when you say bourbons, are you not looking for Rye Whiskey, then?

Finally got a chance to visit Trillium, which is only around 5 miles from my work. I never stay in this area (south of boston) after work, but I had an optometrist appointment and had to be in Easton for 6:30, so I had 2 hours to kill.

Sometimes the best news is no news. Glad everything is great for you.

Awesome! What is your plan for them? I recently saw a recipe for an asparagus salad using them, and want to try them out myself.

more shrimp for me! Wait, I have an idea. How much do you weigh?

FOOD THREAD

Little do they know I have family in Metairie and I like to cook.

Have you been to Ragged Island yet, in Portsmouth? I'm never in the Newport area, so I haven't gotten a chance to visit yet. Nor have any of my friends.

I was a bit nervous you meant at LongLive, though Armando's not a douche like that, but can seem that way when his place is busy (as it usually is).
Though he's huge on hops, so I doubt he'd ever do a kolsch.

It's right there in the title J.D. are initials.

Coming next fall: Chicago Chaos.

That ice cream truck that passed by playing news about this tragedy instead of regular ice cream truck music was definitely in poor taste.

I mean, you're correct* in that it was the best level in Goldeneye for N64.

I did hear about it on NPR, but you're correct in that it wasn't picked up, and it's a shame that politics and/or ratings play a hand in reporting news.
