I did some digging on this as I've been seeing more and more chatter on ways some company's are looking to combat resellers.

Thought it was interesting, as it's a potential novel use of the NFC tech we have so abundantly.

Additionally, Buffalo Trace announced an NFT program that I think is stupid, personally. But I can see becoming a hot thing for a minute or two and hope doesn't become a regular thing long-term. That said, the charity aspect is very cool.

Speaking of fighting counterfeiting, this was a good read. A couple factual issues like the $1k Blanton's being the OG single barrel, but generally well researched.

Managed to pick up a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace at the Krogers in Stuebenville today. That hasn't happened in awhile

Anyone put in for the Pappy Van Winkle lottery?

Glenlivet 12 and Jameson’s are my go-to for liquor, but I much prefer a good Belgian triple such as Chimay or Dulle Teve. There’s also a great little brewery in NY called OmmeGang, their Rare Voss and Three Philosophers kill it for 1/2 the cost of the imports. A fifth of whiskey/scotch/bourbon lasts like 5 years in my place. It’s only there for guests really.

Selected yest for an ORVW. Not gonna turn that down

I think Famous Grouse is $6 bucks discount for a fifth this month...
