I’m guessing you didn’t have those tattoos in 8th grade though, but I’m not here to judge if you did.

Nah, didn’t get my tattoo until 30

My first and only tattoo was on my rib cage and all I could think the whole time was “people do this shit for fun?”

As somebody with… many, yes, I enjoy it, but I’m also kinda fucked up.

Drinking Hotel Tango’s American Straight Bourbon is a bit like getting invited to a fancy dinner and realizing it’s actually just warmed-up MREs with a side of disappointment. It comes in with a proud military aesthetic, but once you take a sip, you realize the only thing being deployed is a full assault on your taste buds.

The nose opens with a confusing blend of burnt caramel, sharp ethanol, and something that might have once been oak, but now smells like a bar fight between wet cardboard and regret. The palate follows up with all the charm of a dry sock—bitter, unbalanced, and somehow both too thin and too punchy. It’s like someone tried to fast-forward through aging and hoped no one would notice.

The finish? Oh, it lingers. Not in a “remember me fondly” kind of way, but more like that one friend who crashes on your couch and overstays their welcome. You’ll taste the vague ghost of vanilla and maybe a hint of sadness—neither of which you’ll want to revisit.

If you’re looking for a bourbon that tastes like it was distilled during a fire drill and aged in barrels that moonlight as garden mulch, Hotel Tango’s got you covered. Otherwise, maybe deploy your dollars elsewhere.

Rock Town 1 Year Old Bourbon (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) is proof that some things just shouldn’t be rushed—like whiskey aging, or a Hinge match with @rjsau98. This bourbon was in and out of the barrel so quick @Pinehurts didn’t even have a chance to mutter under his breath about how long it took.

At just one year old, this bourbon tastes like it’s still going through puberty. It’s all awkward spice, hormonal oak, and a finish that screams “I’m not ready!” It hits your palate like when @camgriff2 trying espresso for the first time (yesterday) —confused, bitter, and way too energetic.

And the label? Oh, the label. It looks like someone dared @Ultra-Kiger to design it using only clip art, caffeine, the memory of a bourbon tasting they once read about, and whatever Gemini came up with.

In short @PTM putter length: Rock Town 1 Year Old is the bourbon equivalent of a garage band’s first demo. Loud, raw, slightly offensive (like a lot of the volume shooters on this message board).

Happy Burban Eve everyone. Excited to share a shot with all of you, and to Burban, of whatever @midwestgolfbum trucks out there for us. Thank you @PTM, and anyone else that assisted, for all the organizational effort you put into this year after year. Appreciate the people who were tagged in one of my silly AI generated posts for being good sports about the ribbing (except noted bad gui @Kbergen28).

Happy Burban Eve everyone. The right thread this time.

First thing, I’ll have the Burban hoodies. If you can’t find me, the dark blue Avalon will have the sweatshirts in the trunk. Feel free to grab yours, they’ll be in Jewels bags with your name on them.

@AlCzervik @AlCzervik @rjsau98 @mlgalezio please bring your $40 for the merch.

I have 4 or 5 bottles depending on what @PTM has for me.

Important reminder for everybody, @justmuckit has asked that for the blantons bottles (I’m bringing one of mine, too), people sign them for him so he has a keepsake. He is giving me paint markers, so it should be possible to sign anywhere.

Never thought I’d be writing ‘FamousFoot’ onto a bottle of Blanton’s. But here we are.
