  • I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

I didn’t want to use a shaker, so my Bourbon Smash is kind of bourbon mojito. 

- Chilled highball Glass. 

- Mint sprigs

- Lemon wedge 

- Bourbon 

- Sumple syrup

Add mint, lemon, and a small amount of suimple syrup into a chilled glass. 

Muddle. 

Add 2.5 ounces of bourbon. 

Stir. 

Add large single ice cube. 

It’s  really good.

GOAT Derby Party in Houston. The Houstonian House on 4th in the Heights. I think it was 2015? $50 for all you can drink mint juleps and pop up restaurants all over the place. It was a mint julep competition between local bars so they were using the good stuff. 

I don’t think I’ve ever been that drunk in my entire life.

In their latest podcast, the Bourbon Pursuit guys implored their listeners to not go to the secondary market for Four Roses Small Batch Select. Apparently some bottles sold online for a whooping $200. 
They said it should be a wide release eventually,  and you should only pay $55-$65 a bottle. 
Im not buying the wide release. It’s only available in 5 states, and it’s the first new product from Four Roses in 13 years. Y’all can do the math on that one, it’s going to be rare. 
After asking around town it’s going to be an extremely limited release in Houston. Most stores are only expecting 6 bottles. 
If you can find it online for under $75, I’d pull the trigger and do it fast. 

In my latest post I implore everyone not to go to the secondary market ever for anything.

I assume the Owl was $250? 

 

$300. It’s the batch 8 bourbon at 121 proof. Felt a bit dirty spending that much, especially with the wife at the liquor store with me

Nice, hope the wife gave you a pass on it. Was this in Texas?

As long as you let me drink yours. Otherwise I’ll never get to try shit.

I’m a pretty frugal guy in general and she knows I have a handful of vices in life where I let myself splurge. I made a comment when I decided to buy the bottle that I feel stupid spending this kind of money and without hesitation she said that I was the only one who cared, get out of my head, and let myself enjoy life a little and be thankful that I am at a place in life that I could buy it.

This was in the Midwest at a liquor store grand opening in the neighborhood. Chatted up the owner and he said he hates keeping good stuff in the back but does plan to watch who buys the good stuff to see if he thinks they are flippers and then may change his policy.

Did pick up a McKenna 10 year today for 36.99. Might open it later this week and see if I got a good one. 

Motherfucker. I’m a got dam millennial and I remember buying my first bottle of McKenna for like $23 and think that shit was unbelievable for the price. I think I’m on bottle #3 or 4 now and that first bottle was still by far the best.

Well it was $325, so I sold a w12 1.75 and owa 750 that I had payed true msrp for to cover my cost. So it truly only cost me $80.

I want to fight you.

Traded a W12 1.75 and OWA 1L to a buddy for his 2018 GTS that’s missing 2oz and also picked up a Stagg Jr Batch 11 for $55. Yesterday BigDHornFan muled an EHT 4G for me. This has been a pleasant 24hrs

And seeing this sitting in my house is just taunting me.

Has he paid you yet?  If not, it’s still yours.

#4980

Last year I walked into a podunk meat market/liquor store  in western Nevada, and bought 2 EHT 4G for $70 apiece. I was so blown away I didn't even ask about the remaining four bottles...

He’s a stand up guy so of course I took care of him. Let him have a pour of the goods AND gave him your sisters phone number.

 

I wish him luck in getting the goods from my non-existent sister.  Should’ve gone with my mom, everyone has a mom.

Guy that I got that Boone bottle through sold one for $375 last night. 

Shit is stupid yo.

If it’s any consolation it was an open bottle but it was probably 70-75% full. Unfortunately secondary prices in the last 10 days have gone from $400 to $550+ so I jumped on this one when I saw it.

Any idea what the 2017 GTS is going for? Had a shot at one in Jan for $450 plus shipping, and passed.

I would kill all of you twice for some EHT4G

May seem extreme to some, but fuck those people.

Best pour ever.  Easily.

But of course you’ve had all the Overholts and Rittenhouses and the like...

Excellent point. I guess I'm not as well versed on ryes. 


I assume you’re well versed in baby Saz?

I love Bulleit Rye and they released a 12 year I’m trying to get my mitts on

Love the Sazerac 6 year. I usually use Bulleitt Rye for cocktails only. It is pretty good though.

Completely agree on both points, but I’m holding hope the 12 year may be a good sipper
#4996

I believe Bulleitt is one of the biggest providers of sourced bourbon/rye in the state of Kentucky. I agree, they should have some really good juice somewhere in their warehouses. 

Even Jack Daniels has had a redemption story with their Heritage barrels.

I saw it when. I recently purchased the 4R Select. I was intrigued. Will pick up today.
