That brisket should make a Texan envious!

One thing I'll have to give to Texas: it's steak country. Not that you can't get great steaks elsewhere, just that in TX a bad steak is almost an oxymoron.

Did I say that? Dang. And I haven't even hit the Buffalo Trace yet. Perhaps this memory/old age correlation I read about somewhere (just can't remember where) is real?

Finnegan and I spent part of our day figuring how many bottles would fit on a shelf including some from Buffalo Trace distillery. Working with barrel staves is challenging but just part of the build.

I'm glad to see you have a backup bottle of Buffalo Trace.

Just as I consider myself a minimalist hoarder, I'm also a newbie oldster.

I have backup EH Taylor as well but the bottles are tall and skinny so I only wanted to use one. Finnegan was probably helping himself to the BT.

You could save a lot of time and effort by just dumping them into one container.
