Click hereAbout our drink:Smoke Wagon Small Batch Bourbon WhiskeyOur high rye content bourbon is aged in the heart of a century-old brick warehouse. To ensure a unique and consistent flavor, barrels are hand selected to create a perfect blend that is smooth and at the same time bold and intense.Released in 2016, our goal was to create a unique great tasting high rye content bourbon. The problem is that rye ages much faster than corn.So while our younger vintages had a big rye spice flavor (which we love) the mouth feel was too thin and it lacked the sweet, delicate complexity of a well aged spirit. Our older vintages had the smoothness and sweet notes that can only be achieved by moving in and out of #4 char and caramelized oak for many, many years, but the nice rye spice had been aged out! So what to do? Find the perfect blend.We combined the two. The younger vintages maintain the bold spiciness of the rye, cut down on the tannins and keep it fruit forward. The older vintage brings in a creamy mouth feel with sweet aromas and taste notes that only appear over time from aging in a barrel. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it.Nose: Balanced oak nose with hints of fruit and dried apricots.Taste: Initial sweet notes on the front of the tongue. Well balanced mouth feel with spicy notes including white pepper on the middle and back of the tongue from the younger vintage and high rye mash bill. Good balance of sweet and oak flavors including hints of caramel (from the #4 charred barrels, caramelized wood sugar), fruit flavor and rye spice. Finishes smooth with no alcohol burn even at 100 proof. 2016, 2017 and 2019San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal WinnerAbout our gear:Staple GunHow much of a big deal can it be to choose a staple gun? Not much, right?That’s what most of us think because staplers are pretty straightforward tools and don’t do much other than fastening objects. But guess what, it may not be as simple to pick one that meets all your needs for work around the house or on the job. That’s why we decided to create this guide to simplify your search for the best staple gun.Click here for the top 13 staple guns of 2021About the Topic:Experiencing a miscarriage as a husband and father is difficult.

About our drink:
Weller Full Proof
William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.

About our drink:
Wyoming Whiskey Private Stock
Wyoming Whiskey they are proud of their state and their spirits. the distillery was founded in 2009 by Kate and Brad Mead and their friend David DeFazio. But they had the help of an experienced guiding hand — Steve Nally, former master distiller at Makers Mark. The first commercial Whiskey was released as a four year old in 2012, but they state that all current Whiskies are a minimum of five years old. Importantly, they state loud and clear that none of their spirits are sourced. Every drop is distilled and aged on site at their facility in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, all the grains are farmed within one hundred miles, and the water comes forma local well sunk into an ancient limestone aquifer. And you’ve just got to respect that.
About our gear:
We talk about splitting wood and some ideas to improve your efficiency.
About the Topic:
We reflect on the importance of sacrifice and the understanding that the more souls advance in the spiritual life, the more their interior sufferings resemble those of Jesus and Mary.... suffering not for their purification but for our redemption.

Made from the finest sampling of our master collection of 200,000 barrels of whisky and designed to reinvent the Canadian whisky category.About our gear:Drop clothsA drop cloth is a sheet of material used by painters to protect floors and furniture from the drips and drabs that can trickle down from above. If you have a paintbrush in one hand and a paint can in the other, there should always be a drop cloth underneath you. That’s one of the cardinal rules of painting. But you can do more with a drop cloth than just prevent paint from getting everywhere - let's discuss.About the Topic:How to prepare you and your family for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:1. Arrive earlya. If you aren’t early, you’re lateb. Sundays can be stressful, you need time to decompress2. Silencea. Must be practiced for children and adultsb. Especially the minutes before Massc. If you want to take your preparation to the next level then try to adopt a mantra of silence beginning when you rise on Sunday until after Holy Mass i. “The person who talks constantly grows empty, and his emptiness is not only momentary… Only the word that emerges from silence is substantial and powerful.” Romano Guardini – Meditations Before Mass3. Composurea. Silence (at least interior) is a prerequisite for composure, but composure is one step beyond silence i. Silence overcomes noise, composure overcomes distractions ii. Composure is a silence that penetrates our interior iii. Composure is what allows us to be present1. “Once composure has been established, the liturgy is possible. Not before.” b. This is why we need to arrive early, so we have time to compose ourselves i. When you arrive honestly confront your restlessness, distractions, and disorder4. Prepare your gifts for the altara. Our tithe should not be given as if we are paying a billb. “When we place the money in the basket, let it be with reverence to God and with charity to all.” RGc. Our gift should be a true sacrifice5. Know the readingsa. Can help overcome distractions during Mass: kidsb. Meditate on them before Mass.c. Read the readings every day. Gives deeper perspective and insight into the narrative 6. Have a prayer intention for the Massa. Helps me invest myself emotionally into the liturgyb. A Mass without an intention is a wasted oportunityCONGRATULATIONS TO The Catholic Woodworker FOR OPENING UP A NEW OFFICE BUILDING!
