Agreed. They are just cool bar pieces with more value as they are.  Not sure they are worth a lot but probably not that many unopened 50 year old bottles floating around anymore. Keep them on bar shelf for show with a more current version underneath for drinking. 

100% agree. Use them as "bar art". 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Field Of Dreams Absinthe. Guy I know makes this on his wine farm as a side project. If there's a more effective liquid panty remover in existence, I've never (ahem) come across it.

Don't get too caught up on price right away; there is an abundance of great small-batch bourbons in the $25-50 range. I would recommend anything released by the Buffalo Trace and Four Roses distilleri

Ordinarily, I only have a drink or two on Fridays or Saturdays, but today was a LONG day with two kids bouncing off the walls.

I am celebrating the quiet in my home with a small glass of Lagavulin 16. This is my usual drink of choice.

I wasn't a scotch drinker until about a year ago. I was tipped off onto The Lagavulin, bought it, and it is the best scotch I've ever tried. Love the stuff! Usually pour a small glass every Friday and Saturday nights. No ice, just straight up. Love it!

Anyone else enjoying the drink tonight?

I go to the pub every afternoon, but only have two or three pints. In the evening I only have a few glasses of wine. I know lot's of people who drink quite heavily though, and will no doubt make themselves ill as a result of this.

I've been enjoying a glass or two of red wine each night of late. It has been nice little routine to end the day.

Hate to be a party-pooper, but 2-3 pints plus 2-3 glasses of wine daily is pretty heavy drinking.

You sound like the UK government now. Until recently it was considered safe for men to drink the equivalent of 2 pints a day, and women 1. Now they say there is no safe limit, but 1 pint is reasonable. In Japan the government say 4 pints, and most of Europe is about 3. I say, BUGGER THEM ALL. 

In the UK if you visit your doctor with just about any complaint the first thing he will ask you is, how much do you drink, and do you smoke. Regardless of what ever the condition is, you are then told it must have something to do with alcohol intake. It's become an absolute obsession.

Did real well last night. Gym, then a lemon tea and a seltzer and bed. 

Doubt this evening will be anywhere near that healthy.

I sincerely hope not. You and I. and people like us, have a duty to keep an entire industry going, and we aren't going to do that by acting like children. My belief is that God invented alcohol to make us happier, so let's be happy

Looking for interesting 4th mixes, booze and fam friendly if anyone has any good ones. Probably going to smoke a brisket if you have any wicked good pairings for that. Getting tired of Summer Shandy, I think the beer fridge is finally rid of it.

Tonight, I finished off the bottle of Larceny bourbon I bought because my mom wanted to throw a party for the Kentucky Derby. Of course, that means I need to restock my home bar!

I think I want to branch out to whiskies other than bourbon; any suggestions on what to buy next? I have a $35 gift card I received for taking part in a focus group last week; that's a decent liquor budget.

(In other words, do I want to try scotch, or do I want to buy a rye and drink sazeracs for the rest of the summer?)

Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey is the bomb. 2 shots whiskey, one shot lemonade. I have 2 almost every night before bed.

I'm fairly limited in bourbon and rye experience (I mostly started drinking it because Scotch didn't go with watching Justified on TV), but I'm a big fan of scotch.  

For $35, you could get a normal bottle of Glenfiddich 12.  It's a pretty good Speyside and was one of the first Scotches I drank and enjoyed.  They also sell it in airplane bottles if you want to try a little first.  If you prefer your bourbon in any style other than neat, please let me know and I'll suggest a different one. 

I'm having some Ardbeg Uigeadail for dessert tonight.  I do not suggest this as your first Scotch.

That's a good idea for Scotch as it can vary so much based on how much the grain is smoked by peat and where it's put in casks to age. Obviously barrels closer to the ocean will breath more salty air over time which affects the flavor. 

I'm a Scotch fan so I would say definitely pick up some of that and try the small bottles to figure out what you like. Glenlivet, McCallan are good 12 year olds that are pretty smooth. In General I drink my single malts neat and take my time with them and I drink blended Scotch (J&B, Cutty Sark, or Johnny Walker Black) with club soda in a tall glass with ice. The first two are light and crisp while the JW Black will give you more body.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
