Yale, Alabama.

I'm Lance Taylor from the next round.

Like, subscribe, give us the thumbs up.

If you like Alabama, you like bourbon.

This is the show for you.

We had some miscommunication last week.

Totally on our side.

We pushed our show back.

You had Yay Alabama stuff going on, so you were unable to join me and Jeff Warnett, the master distiller, for company distilling at Gillette's, drinking a lot of bourbon on Friday, which was really good. And now, I'm excited about this Evan Williams. First of all, your thoughts on Evan Williams, the brand overall, one of the major, you know, staying. It's an old school. Yeah. Yeah. And if you get the right color, I know there's like the different label colors. I've always, it's sort of been like when I'm drinking EW, I like it's almost like the perfect mixer. If you're going to mix it with something. I agree with that. But now that we've got the single barrel. But they've up the game with this one, so you don't need to. This was, this one's low though, 86.6 proof. So this one shouldn't heat us up that much. But I'm not to the point where I really like to heat. Me too. I agree. Now, the cool thing about this is when you get these single barrels, barreled on 1114, 2016. I would love to go back to the week of November 14th, 2016. I remember I was living in a hotel at this point. But it's funny when you see dates like that, you kind of think back. Go, it was Kirby Smart's first year of Georgia. You know what? It's funny you said that. So I sat out in the park a lot. I know you guys are finishing up your show. And what I've started doing, because my camera roll is, it takes up so much space in my iPhone. So what I'll do is I'll put in a date just like September 15th and it shows me all my September 15th photos and like all the ones I want you're ready about it's the way i keep my camera so can you put 1114 in real quick yeah just just see what

happens on 114 September 15th photos and like all the ones I want to get rid of I just believe. That's the way I keep my camera. So can you put 1114 in real quick? Yeah. Just see what happens. November 14th. November 14th, 2016. I don't know if it goes back that far. Let's see what we got here. Because it's a good... But as you mentioned, it brings up memories of things that you've forgotten about.

I mean, look, again, this is a very steady bourbon.

I agree with you.

The oven I knew back in the day, I would mix it with the delicious Coca-Cola.

100% for the nostalgic Monaco. What I say November 16th?

November 14th of 2016.

Let's see what we got. This was barreled on November 14th of 2016. Let's see what we got.

This was barreled on November 14th, 2016, bottled just last December 3rd, 2024.

That's got to get a little burn to it, though.

All right, November 14th, 2016, I was undergoing rehab for a torn cartilage, torn ligament, rather, my ankle.

And so doing physical therapy, walking my dog.

We were working together Jackson, right?
