Bike Forums - Addiction 2021.4

The good news, if any can be found this godforsaken time of year, is that we've passed the earliest sunset and they are very slowly starting to get later again. :bday:

Later sunset taken advantage of today with a cycling activity. The office park paramotorer was up and at it this evening. :bday:

Need a nice bourbon for a gift in the $100 range. Any suggestions?

I have long wondered the same about LSS.

Our consult service tried to have an on-site holiday potluck lunch thing, but the authorities killed it. Meanwhile I sat through an all-day editorial board meeting and dinner at a crowded downtown restaurant this weekend. I wonder which would have been safer.:foo:

At that price point, you can't really miss. It becomes a matter of preference for the subtleties. I'm not sure what the current prices are, but Michter's, Booker's, and Rowan's Creek are ones I have particularly enjoyed in recent history.

Our German shepard shed like it was his job. He shed his fur faster than we could vacuum it up.

For that price, I’d buy scotch or Irish, but that’s just me.

It's a preference thing. I will always pick a bourbon or rye over scotch or irish, if I have the choice.

For a different twist, look into Japanese Whiskey. A buddy of mine has a couple that he's shared with me. Excellent stuff.

Scotch, maybe. Irish? It's like Scotch, but without the flavor.

I recently did a tasting of some Buffalo Trace bourbons. The W.L. Weller Special Reserve was nice in that price range.

If its for a true bourbon drinker Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon or Woodford Reserve or Eagle Rare or Van Winkle. Most good bourbons are priced in the $50-75 range unless its a special edition or single barrel. Blanton’s Single Barrel is about $100 and is a great bourbon!

One of our local distilleries makes a tasty rye.

Is it just me, or do all the main roads seem to point straight into the setting sun at 5:00 p.m.?
