Now that the party is jumpin
With the bass kicked in & the Vegas are pumpin
Quick to the point, to the point, no fakin
Cookin politicians like a pound of bacon
Burnin em, they ain't quick & nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
With the bass kicked in & the Vegas are pumpin

New selection tonight: Barrell Foundation. A blend of bourbons from KY, TN, IN & MD, has very strong caramel flavors and a nice, smooth heat through the finish. A good sipping bourbon 🥃

A new bottle: Old Emmer Cask Strength from Harrodsburg, KY.
The tasting notes say honey and oak and they weren’t kidding. Very sweet and oaky on the front end, with some vanilla notes and heat to follow. Surprisingly smooth finish for 116 proof 🔥
