We are excited to announce the release of the 1st edition of the Texas A&M Food Price Predictor! Using econometric & ML modelling techniques, we predict meat cut retail prices in the USA for the coming grilling season! @AgriLife @ageconomics agrilifetoday.tamu.edu/2024/05/08/new…

@BourbEnthusiasm Agree. In my opinion, most to all hazmats sacrifice flavour and balance

The most overrated thing that people care about in bourbon right now is “hazmat” proof. The second most overrated thing people care about is mash bill. Good morning! #WakeTakes

@BourbEnthusiasm Must taste like liquefied wood!

Would you try 34-year-old bourbon? Aged entirely at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, comprised of just four barrels that produced just 11 bottles (only 5 available for sale) 🤯🤯🤯

@BourbEnthusiasm I’d go for 2 KC 12s. 18 doesn’t do it for me

Knob Creek 18 for $150...are you in?

@d_tao Any Blantons

What’s a whiskey other folks like but you JUST CAN’T get onboard with, even after multiple attempts?

@BourbEnthusiasm I was luck enough to get mine: JD 14. Can honestly say, its as good as I expected

What’s the one allocated bottle you’d love to get this year? It has to be something current!

@BourbEnthusiasm Heaven Hill BiB, Rare Breed, Early Times BiB, WT 101, Old grandad bonded for a high rye mashbill

What bottles do you recommend to someone starting a whiskey collection that they intend to drink & enjoy?

@Douga536 @FoodProfessor @TAMU I’ve got some brisket waiting for you, Doug!

@FoodProfessor @TAMU Congratulations- say hi to the tall dude. @SimonASomogyi

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining Texas A&M University (@TAMU)—ranked #1 in the U.S. and #3 globally in agribusiness—as Director of Graduate Programs in Agribusiness, starting August 1. It’s a privilege to contribute to one of the world’s top agri-food institutions. I remain a proud Full Professor at @DalhousieU and affiliated with the @Dalagrifood. Our regular reports will continue—I'm simply being “borrowed” by Texas A&M, if you will. I’ll remain a committed Canadian, paying taxes in Canada while working and learning abroad. Texas’s agri-food sector is six times the size of ours, offering incredible opportunities to learn and collaborate on a whole new level. I’ll continue writing op-eds for @postmedianet and @LP_LaPresse, and of course, The Food Professor podcast marches on. Exciting times ahead!

@BourbEnthusiasm Knob Creek 12

What's the best bourbon from Jim Beam?

@BourbEnthusiasm For the price: Bulleit 12yr

I'm curious...what's everyone's favorite rye whiskey?

@BourbEnthusiasm Pass. Prefer the 12 yr at half the price.

What say you, Twitter?

@FoodProfessor For some context, in terms of GDP the economy of Texas is bigger than the economy of Canada.

While Canada is anxious, Trump is golfing today... Precious.

Tariffs… Well, will he or won’t he? Remember, tomorrow is Groundhog Day.

@BourbEnthusiasm Dettling single barrels!

What’s the best non-Kentucky bourbon?

@BourbEnthusiasm Depending on where you are: 2 rare breeds and save a couple of bucks!

What’s the best bourbon under $100?

@Charles_Dahlgre Yes, at a bar. Good but not my thing

@SimonASomogyi Curious if you have tried the old Fitzgerald 17 ?

I’ve seen this several times at stores and this strikes me as a bigger “FU” than crazy pricing.

@BourbEnthusiasm Sheesh. 4 times the price of the normal release, same proof point just fancy bottle/ packaging and some extra oak. Brown-Forman: it is not 2021

Excitement level: through the roof 🥹

@BourbEnthusiasm Nope. Sagamore 9 and save like $60+

What do we think, folks?

@BourbEnthusiasm Depending on location, but probably Green River Full Proof or Bulleit 12yr rye

Time to play! What’s the best whiskey under $50 in 2025? 🤔

@BourbEnthusiasm Sagamore 9

Ok, folks, let's have it — what was the best rye of 2024? 🥃👀

University Rules Violation - PA 68. A man was riding a horse and another man & his dog were riding a longhorn. Agreed to leave campus. #BTHOtu
