All-time pick

@BearsCatsBulls @ochocinco I have amazing cigars. But I will not be back at Commonwealth Stadium until we have a new coaching staff!!! 💙🥃

@ochocinco @whoryno i know my guy has the finest cigars in the city man!

Why is my dumb ass at the Kroger Field already & the game isn’t until 7pm, so many people tailgating but i don’t drink alcohol & I don’t see anyone with a cigar so i can start a conversation.😟

@FredMinnick If you can self distribute in KY you absolutely should. Immediately leave distro and start making relationships with the stores on your own, selling out of your trunk. NO ONE AT THE DISTRIBUTION LEVEL CARES ABOUT YOUR SMALL BRAND.

@FredMinnick Abolish three tier system. USELESS. Havent seen RNDC rep in our shop in 2 years. SGWS similar time line. Sazerac new distributer either. Brown Forman’s new distro in KY is the WORST in the country - Moved to 1x MONTH DELIVERY and don’t even know what they have in stock. USELESS.

Something that's happening in the bourbon right now: Many distributors are not paying suppliers or are trying to move terms to 180 days for payment. In an industry designed to go thru the middleman, this is killing smaller brands and large companies alike. How can this be fixed?

@RowlandRIVALS Let’s just start with not going 3 and out with a punt on our first offensive drive of the season …

Put yourself on record before the season: What do you need to see from UK Football this season to be satisfied in the direction of the program?

@MstlyPcflBourbn Wasn’t a pay up for proof. Was a pay up for quality, nothing else. 🥃

Was lucky to win the lotto on the new BO 13th Colony rye hazmat SiB pick! ⚠️ ☢️ not normally a “pay up because I’m a haz guy” but this is a cool W

Check out this Bruce Russell feature in @RollingStone magazine! 🥃 🦃 🤘 rollingstone.com/in-perfect-har…

@BourbEnthusiasm Tribute 15 export.

Time to ask: what's the best bottle from Wild Turkey you've ever had?

@brewzle What in the hell is this photo???? Jfc. Absolute nightmare.

How the Russell Family Built a Whiskey Empire at Wild Turkey

@RBird101 @WildTurkey Cheers my friend! 🥃

Can’t say enough good things about this monster @whoryno rye pick. 🥃 🦃

@BourbEnthusiasm $500 or more less than auction houses!

It’s so cool to see my very first barrel pick for sale at Justins’ House of Bourbon in Louisville! ($1,500 😳)

@web4O @alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite Thanks! There are others doing great things in Ky, but believe we do more than our fair share of good for the industry. Guys like @alancornett make us shine! 🥃

@whoryno @alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite This is why I send everyone your way in KY! There is no one better.

Oh my!

@web4O @alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite That is the key! Why we have one on one conversations with every customer who walks in the door!

@whoryno @alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite Absolutely, but maybe we can help consumers at least!

@web4O @alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite Doesn’t matter how much education we do when the ttb doesn’t give a fuck lmao

@alancornett @whiskeypedian @obky_bourbonite This is all sus. Maybe I’ll do a write up on how to break down a label

@argesarge8 @obky_bourbonite “Limited to just 50 bottles, this straight bourbon comes to you at cask strength …”

@obky_bourbonite not a straight bourbon? the wording of single barrel on the front and assembled for a blend on the back is confusing and no where does it say it was distilled at Stitzel Weller 🤔

@oaksie72 The best to ever do it KHSAA. My fave quotable … “that’s what I call Tammy Wynette … just standing by your man.”

One wrong was righted posthumously (his win total). Now a second closely connected detail is ironed out for one of the greatest men I've ever known. Props again to the KHSAA for fixing all of this.

@Rushthewriter @BourbEnthusiasm Ever in LEXKY, look me up. First pour on me!

@whoryno @BourbEnthusiasm Wow!!!!!!

This man has an OLD CASSIDY!? The fact that it’s properly stored on the top shelf is awesome. The fact that it’s not in the center is a travesty 😂 but I really dig the way these are organized, and frankly it’s one of the best collections we’ve seen! 10/10

@Rushthewriter @BourbEnthusiasm Haha yeah … One is all Russell’s Reserve picks. Probably a hundred or so. Other is all backups or other unopened bottles. 😬

@whoryno @BourbEnthusiasm You have two more shelves like this?!!!

Send me your best whiskey shelfie. No matter the size, I’ll rate it 🧐🥃
