Castle Brands Board (ROX)

[FUNMAN]

My experience at the south Miami Total Wines did not yield my hoped for tequila; I was very bummed. They didn't carry the whiskey's either. What the _ _ _ _?

Gosslings filled three rows; Jeffersons combined filled three also, but only regular ($36) and reserve ($52).

I bought 2 Reserves for the holiday weekend. My cousin (he grew up in Miami) who helped me kill a bottle with my buddy in Dallas will be there too. Knowing he will be "a repeater" as well as other bourbon drinkers, made buying two an easy decision.

I took all the liquor over to my brothers for the big bash on Thursday. He already had a bottle of regular Jeffersons. We tried the two side-by-side. Oh my gosh, there is a world of difference. I mean, in my opinion a slam dunk difference. The reserve is soooooo much better.

14 bottles of wine, a few cases of beer, what's left of the Jeffersons, plus the regularly stocked bar; all will have a good time ... no matter what the PPS closes at on Wednesday.

I still haven't seen Ocean in any store. Not Manhattan either; has anyone seen it yet?
