    Blanton’s Gold shipped as a single bottle would be about $130. It’s $165 shipped on BSM so no sure why anybody would pay $216 OTD for it in Galveston.
  2. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Correct. I’ve had a $16 2 oz pour which is half of secondary.
  3. I feel bad that ND got any credit for beating USC this year, but damn I love watching Kelly lose. He’s the thinnest skinned, sorest loser in CFB.
  4. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    I know where at least a dozen bottles are in Austin between $89 and $109. Not hard to find at all.

    I finally caved and bought a bottle of the OF1910. It’s good, but a little heavy handed with the sweetness. It’s like a sweet, less complex Little Book
  6. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    It’s just age stated export 101. But damn it’s good and I really like it. Not sure what the exact age is because it’s not laser coded like US Wild Turkey. I picked it up because an additional bottle is only $10 more shipping when ordering Blanton’s Gold from the UK. And then I can go all bourbon snob on people when they come to the house. “You want to try this? It’s not available in the US.”
  7. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Of course. It’s good for $60 and I’m not opposed to paying $80. At $60 it’s one of the better commonly available options. Over $80 and it will get worked by other options. Came in last for this lineup.
  8. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    It’s $220 shipped on BSM, so no.
  9. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Ouch. I like to pay secondary or less for rare whiskey in bars. That’s 50% over.

    I’ve bought two Blanton’s store picks at retail in the last week and now my collection. Is up to two store picks, an OG, a gold and an SFTB. Probably time to start looking for something else. For those looking for something old and interesting but available the OLC 14 yr Barrell Bourbon pick is strong to quite strong. I’ve bought two for Christmas gifts and kept one. Hard to beat for $85.

    This is making my $101 combo purchase of Twin’s store pick Blanton’s and OWA today look weak.

    I was just trying to guide him to the sad but inevitable truth.
  13. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    It has a small batch 94 proof label, right? Probably lists the original barrel proof and age on the side label but unless I’m missing something it’s proofed down like every other ECSB store pick.
  14. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    That’s not a real thing. I’m working on some WT Decades Batch 02 and WT 101 8 year age stated tonight. Both are great with the 101 winning on the nose and the Decades on the finish. About the same on palate. Spec’s has Decades for $90 through December and it’s a worthwhile pickup at that price.
  15. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    It’s so good. Probably my favorite sub 100 proof bourbon I’ve had yet. Also doesn’t hurt that it’s $16 for healthy pours at my neighborhood bar right now.
  16. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    I will buy the next one I see for $99. But not the one sitting at my Eagle Rare honey hole for $175.
  17. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Yeah, I bought one and have passed on a couple more. It’s new to me, need to crack it this weekend.
  18. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Daaaamn. How much were the pours?
  19. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    If you know anybody in a control state like North Carolina they can probably hook it up by the case for < $30/750ml.
  20. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    One weekend kill on a GTS? That’s a power move.
  21. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    It’s good and all over Austin for $89-$109. I have a spare.
  22. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    Orphan Barrel gets shat on plenty, but this one is actually pretty good. I bought one for $149 retail and don’t regret it at all. I’m not saying I want to mow through a 3 oz pour, but it’s not a tannic oak bomb by any stretch. Thinking about picking up a backup because there’s nothing else like it available at retail routinely.
  23. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    They have a whole page dedicated to it. https://www.forward2me.com/ship-alcohol-from-uk/ They don’t seem to dig down into the state level and I do know that it works, as does thewhiskeyexchange.com, but they are always out of stock. I’ve also ordered directly from masterofmalt prior to them ceasing US shipments without issue. I think it’s always a risk, but one I’m willing to take for good bourbon.
  24. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    That did not answer the question. I need this in my life. Bunch of rule following boy scouts in here. Anyway: masterofmalt.com forward2me.com It’s not rocket science. Regardless of rules, you shouldn’t be doing this if you can’t afford to lose a couple hundred if customs gets you
  25. USCATX replied to Jimbaround's topic in Food and Travel
    My replacement bottle should be here this weekend. Easily the best bourbon you can have shipped to your door for a little over a hundred bucks.
