ZachEY Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Working just a little bit harder than I have each of the past 20 years to convince myself that firing the coach means the bad quarterback will be good and so will the team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are firing 2 out of the 3. Though I’ve often contemplated firing the Jets as whole all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it quite a bit, actually. Got a bottle for my birthday this year and am slowly enjoying it. Got a nice sweetness to it, and is as mellow, subtle and smooth as all Balvenie seems to be. I'll be finishing a years-old bottle of 21-year old Balvenie tonight myself, in celebration of an annual professional accomplishment. The only real downside of Balvenie is cost. It pains me to pay their prices for most of their offerings, despite how good they are. But such is life, you only live once, and you damn well better enjoy it while you can (2020 has shown that all to clearly IMO). TLDR: It's a good choice, you won't go wrong if you buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I got that doublewood from a client about 3 years ago. I only pour myself a finger or two on occasion. I love it. I don’t drink liquor often, but have been on a little bourbon kick. Just finishing off a 3- year old bottle of woodFord reserve and have a gift pack of bulleit waiting for me - it has their rye and regular I guess, came with a yeti tumbler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had a thing for glassware with brands I like names on it. I have a few myself, Glenmorangie, plus a few old antiques I picked up (White Horse Blended, lol). If you're a Bourbon man, might I humbly suggest this: Won Bourbon of the Year for Whisky Advocate Magazine (a fav. subscription of mine), and I really enjoyed it. Best of all, it's cheap as chips, $35 here in VA (including the exorbitant tax NoVA puts on Liquor). I don't think you'll be disappointed, as good in a cocktail as it is on a single rock. Enjoy my friend. Happy Holidays to you and yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm not a drinker, however... One for the firing of Gase; and the other as a victory celebration for the hiring of either Harbaugh/Cowher. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Since the firing isn't happening and Gase will be HC in 2021, I'll try to mellow out with some THC-infused edibles. Maybe some Bordeaux as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, Pappy is probably the most over-rated item in Liquor land. It's good, sure, but not even remotely worth the exorbitant prices IMO. A great example of artificial scarcity/marketing over substance. Smart buyers buy other brands distilled on the very same stills at 1/10,000 the price, lol. Same argument could be made about many of the Macallan issues. Good, but just not worth that cost. Only a buy if you can get it at actual MSRP, not secondary market prices.

Only a buy if you can get it at actual MSRP, not secondary market prices. I can clearly tell the difference between Pappy and Knob Creek, Booker's etc, but I agree the experience is not worth paying $2,000 a bottle. If you manage a price of under $1,000, it is worth it. To me it is. Though, IMHO, Blanton's is just about on par with Pappy for far less money. I'll wrap it up by saying, for me, the Pappy appeal is much like ideal romance. The splendor is in the mind and not the flesh. If you have friends, relatives or business contacts in KY, ask them about local micro batch Bourbon makers that don't sell out of the state. Antebellum family recipes that are still made the same way. Just a few barrels a year. I was gifted a bottle of such a bourbon two years ago. "Old Wooden Head" it was called. The most amazing bourbon I have ever experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that Pappy is bad in any way, but $2K a bottle, even $1K a bottle, that's a ton for most folks, myself included. Beyond ~$250/bottle is generally outside my own willingness to pay, generally. For many folks I know, it's $50. It's why I generally try to recommend more generally available/affordable bottles, the kind of stuff folks will enjoy/feel good about, but not miss a mortgage payment for, lol! It doesn't mean the 40 year old Rosebank I had a taste of on my 40th birthday wasn't worth, to me, the killer price tag I paid for just 3 oz. of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm just going to relax with a bottle of sweet red wine by my side. Of course if he's somehow not fired I'll have my manual meat grinder set up next to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 At 0-16 and the 1st pick - it will be a joyous occasion At 1-15 and the 2nd pick - Gase getting fired or not, I will not be celebrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If we end 0-16, that's nothing to celebrate. The Celebration comes on 4/30 when we pick Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
