Announcement: Current Email Subscription Service being Discontinued in July

In some sad news, Google notified me that their FollowByEmail widget will be discontinued in July. In the meantime, I'll be trying to find a new email option for those interested. Obviously, it needs to be one where there is privacy, security, and no 3rd party selling or anything like that. If you know of any like that, drop a note in the comment box below. 

TL:DR

If you current get updates from the site via email, Google is removing that functionality in July. In the meantime, I'll be on the lookout for a new subscribe by email option, but you'll need to sign up again once that is in place.

Blanton's, Eagle Rare, and E.H. Taylor Lottery Breakdown

The State has announced the winners of the latest bourbon lottery. Per usual, my wife and I continued our streak of not winning. I'm always curious about what the odds are for the lotteries so I reached out to OHLQ for the final numbers... 

Happy Friday. Do you have the final numbers for the number of entries for each lottery as well as the number of bottles available?

The response didn't directly answer my question... they responded simply by saying 'Entry: 59,974 with 1704 bottles available... this didn't address the number of entries for each lottery because technically, each lottery could be entered independently. Alas.

A YouTube Recommendation - Cocktail Chemistry

There is so much great content available today, it's often difficult to find new or interesting places and people. Thankfully, I'm here to help with one of my favorites from YouTube and some of my favorite videos. 

The channel is Cocktail Chemistry and features the mixologist Nick making different variations of different drinks. The premise is super simple, but executed flawlessly. We'll start with the recreated 'Peppermint Patty' from Archer.
