Weller Antique?, and you said it was dry out there

Oh it's still dry, they made me beg. Spec's is getting cute with Henry McKenna 10 now and keeping it in the back. I'm not a fan, but y'all should be cursing Fred Minnick.

Supposedly WT101 is a blend of 6,7 and 8 yr old bourbons...or at least that's the word on the webs

That's pretty, pretty outstanding for $20 a bottle. Wild Turkey 101 deserves better than being jammed into a boot, and being poured into a Sprite at Texas home games.

I'm tired of catching up on the CR threads. Opened my GTS 2017.  Sipping on W12 as an opener. 20 oz ribeye waiting for the grill. Anyone of you assholes that feels like commiserating can PM me. Fair warning- I'm stumbling around a bit.

Trust me, when Fred published his piece on HM10 winning Double gold, he became the enemy.

We made Huge open a couple tonight.  Had the Kentucky Owl 2nd, Boss Hogg, Hancock Reserve, 2013 George T; and a light snip of the Van Winkle Lot B (circa 2012?)

Good times were had

 

Edit: forgot the Midsummer Night's Dram and Elmer T Lee.

Found a ETL for $49.00 today or maybe it was yesterday now, plus a Stagg jr for $59 sitting next to it. I was confused by the pricing, but not enough not to buy them both.

As something that can be found at every store, I would think HM10 is one of the best options. 

 

 

The sad thing, at least where I've looked around Houston, (W & NW) it can't be found in every store anymore, many stores sold out, others pushing prices past $35, if they have it. One store had 6 bottles at $39.99. Some are calling it allocated

Before you ask - this is amazing.  I know because I had it a while back at Brennan's.   

However last night Mrs. Brown Water decided I didn't need anymore and poured this glass down the sink because I left it on the kitchen counter to breathe.   

Don't worry guys, she is ok.  But I'm taking suggestions on how she should rectify this matter.

I think you should move along. You must have done something to piss her off. Take it from me. You can never win in the situations. Besides, she probably home only with your babies than you are.

What's the assumed age statement on Wild Turkey 101? I've been thinking about enjoying a bottle for old time's sake. 

Don’t know about age but I think WT 101 may be the best $20 bottle of bourbon out there. Great in any cocktail.

BTW sounds like wifey has good taste in bourbon.

BW, nowhere near as bad as my wife making a “Pappy vanhattan” with my Pappy 15. While I was in the emergency room getting my missing fingertip cauterized (accident caused by too much Bourbon). 

Well now that I think about it, at least the Pappy was consumed. Still infuriates me.

You fellas who don’t enjoy sipping top shelf whiskey with your wife are missing out. Whiskey is for drinking and wives are for porch-drinking with.

Buy every bottle of Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Store Pick you come across. My goodness, that's a good daily drinker. Better than Eagle Rare in my opinion. 

Keeping my eyes out for one of those jewels in the Houston area Bill, any ideas?

More often than I would like to admit I get really shit faced and my wife packs all my booze up and threatens to throw it out in bulk.  To date there have been no irrevocable catastrophes, but we've gotten close.

super pumped about the whiskey social in houston this coming saturday.  my second time to go.  sampling all 5 btac's, as well as about 200 other bourbons and scotches.  last year i sampled all 5 pappy's too, as well as about 6 different years worth of birthday bourbons.

The Elijah Craig BP can remove paint. That dude had to sit in open air for about an hour. And a sprinkle of water thereafter. 

What’s the going rate for this stuff?

Secondary is around $100-120 it seems. I found a bunch on the shelf in DC during spring break for $75 which is still higher than msrp I think. But hey, vacation.

Yes, but I can find it for about half of that if you look long enough. I’ve seen probably 10 Of them on shelf in last two weeks from $58 to $80. The A918 maybe the best value for the money at 135+ proof.

not for the weak hearted

Last year's lot LL/G was said to even have some 10 year in it by Eddie Russel due to dumping a bunch of 6 year barrels for Longbranch due to it's popularity.

Hopefully, at very least,  she now understands the the gravity of the offense she committed ...

do i need to google that for you?  i think this is the third year of it.  i missed the first year. it's a blast.  with the vip tickets you had your choice of either the pappy or the btac tasting.  last year i could do both.  10 of the best bourbons on the market in a two hour period.   this year they are at the same time so i had to pick and chose the btac.   i'm hoping there will be some other rare bourbons there too, aka weller and elijah craig.

So sad today to hear Weller and EC in the same sentence as “rare”. Oh how the times have changed....

there's rumored to be some single barrel weller antique there, as well as some single barrel EC.  last year i was not expecting to see all the birthday bourbons there, but they must have had at least 6 years worth.  that was a popular booth to say the least.

Yeah, I figured there was some special willy wonka ticket for the BTAC stuff. Too bad, sounds like a great deal, and I would gladly pay $200 to sample all that stuff. No way I'm paying 80 bucks for GA to try some scotch I have never heard of.
