Polishing off the Bookers that my BIL gave me. He's a UNC fan and was at the game tonight. I'm resisting the urge to text him.

Company Christmas Party last night. Had to start with Crown and then had to finish up with Bulleit - the only two brown liquids they had available. Sad, but they still worked for what they were needed for.

Bulleit isn't bad. It's a poorly kept secret that it is contract distilled for them by Four Roses, or at least was. If you like the flavor profile, you'll like Bulleit.

Anybody win anything in the local bourbon lotteries? I won an EH Taylor small batch in Louisburg. Got nothing in the YVille and Wake County lotteries.

I got zilch. New Hanover County finally moved to a lottery system after years of having a secretive waiting list for allocated stuff. I was in the store yesterday buying a bottle for a friend for Christmas, and one of the clerks was telling the other that she won a Knob Creek 18 in the raffle. That doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence in the new raffle system being any better than the previous system.

Louisburg broadcasted theirs on Facebook live, so at least it wasn't a "hidden" draw.

I know it's not bourbon, but having Single Barrel Jack. Given as a gift, pretty good, while watching some college football.

To be fair, the only reason it's not bourbon is because Jack Daniels doesn't want to call it bourbon, it meets all the other requirements. I know a lot of folks like their single barrels. I drank enough Jack to float a battleship back in my 20s, probably why I don't really drink it now.

I did not know that about Jack Daniels, and the reasons why. I've drank a lot of Jack and still do, my favorite, Buffalo, I can't find around these parts but once in a blue moon.

Many states/counties/ABC boards in control states such as ours have a raffle this time of year to determine who gets highly allocated bottles such as the Old Fitz above, Pappy Van Winkle etc. Since demand far out paces supply (on purpose, but that's a rant for another time), that's seen as a more fair way to determine who gets to buy what. Otherwise, those bottles never get seen by the general public and get distributed to people with a hookup, store clerks, etc.

Okay, makes sense. Thanks

Yup. I've been in a few in years past and they all seem to do it their own way. I live near Pilot Mountain, NC, and for their lottery they don't advertise it so you just have to be in there while they're taking names. They only let a certain number in the drawing so everyone's pretty much guaranteed a chance to buy something. That's how I won the 19 year Old Fitz and last year I won a Weller Full Proof.
