If you find yourself in Jackson Hole, there is a boatload of Hancock’s Reserve at the Aspen Market.

  • 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,

Eagle Rare no longer being put on the shelf.  Have to ask for it.  Knew it was too good to last.

Picked up two bottles on the shelf today.  $27 per.

I just picked up one of course that's all they would allow.

Haven’t seen Hancock’s in probably 3 years. In the last two weeks I’ve scored two bottles. Left a third on the shelf in hopes someone else that would enjoy it gets it.

I have some phone calls to make tomorrow.

Stopped into the local whiskey bar here in Flagstaff. Had a peep at their selection. Went with a Pappy 10 because I won't find that in the store anytime soon.

Got myself a bottle today. Looking forward to trying it

Thanks to the fine folks on Surly, I got the last one in the locked cabinet at Spec's (at least that's what they told me).  I sent a pic of it to a buddy and he told me they have several on the shelf at Total Wine.

I'd take that fuckstick seriously as a hand model if he was smart enough to know not to wear that checkered pattern shirt against the checkered pattern jacket.  Nevermind the color pallate of that up against the blue label of the bourbon bottle.  I haven't seen a bourbon induced patter of business like that since we all got wasted on Blanton's and pulled a train on that guy's mom.  Now that was busy on bourbon...

Twin Liquor Dollar Day went well today.  I got to load & reload on a few goodies:  Ardbeg Drum, Balvenie Tun 1509, OF 1920, Pikesville, Foursquare Empress, Compass Box Flaming Heart, Four Roses, and W12.

No Hancock’s on hand in Maryland, but did find a few bottles I’ve been trying to regather for some time now.

Sometimes it’s the simple things...

My haul today

I also just got a McKenna 10 bottle from barrel #6666.

#6174

I picked up A Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. I hated the 10 year, but many on here have said the Single Barrel is good, so I;m going to give it a try tonight.

You will thoroughly enjoy it. Night and day difference between the two. I’m not at liberty to discuss how many RR SiB SP’s I’ve acquired in the last few months, but they w all been worth it at $60/bottle.

Agree on this.  The Village Liquor store pick in Houston was great.

#6176

Not all store picks are created equal.  An account may get an occasional gem picking samples out of a briefcase, but the good bottles come from those accounts who have long-standing relationships with the distiller/distillery and actually travel and pick out of these rickhouses.  I do hope you’ve found yourself a good bottle to drink. 

#6177
Please elaborate or send a PM. 

 

My buddy from South Dakota mailed me the ECBP and one of the McKenna 10s. I found the ER10 and the other McKenna 10 at the four letter store. Bought him some balcones single barrel single malt and baby blue since he can’t get that up north. It’s a good business relationship that’s for sure.

Nice. I assume the four letter store keeps McKenna10 in the back now. 

I must have hit a bad barrel. I didn't like McKenna bottle I bought at Total Wine a couple years back. I've tried it since at bars and loved it. Of course, it's darned near impossible to find now.

Bummer. In Chattanooga for the weekend and the Jax Liquors two blocks away has a pretty respectable bourbon wall. Thought I’d found something new and good.

They have a store pick of Elijah Craig Small Batch and a bunch of local stuff but nothing else super interesting.

It is night and day. This has a good spice to it. Very robust for the proof. Me likey

Any word on Smooth Ambler Big Level Wheated?

Truly terrible given the pedigree. I still can't believe how bad it is. 

In other news, Hancock's Reserve remains delicious.

Accurate on both counts. That said, for mb#2 (and there is no wrong answer/bad option, just personal) my order is SFTB > RHF > Gold > ETL > BSiB > Hancock

Interesting placement of Rock Hill Farms. I’ve been sitting on a bottle waiting for a replacement. I’ve only seen it in the wild once. 

*Hot take alert* : I like Hancock better than regular ole Blanton’s. It’s a power proof, but still somehow more complex. I love bourbons that punch above their weight. 

It’ll never happen, but I wish Buffalo Trace would give Hancock’s Reserve the attention it deserves.

My self challenge was to find a 6-8 bottles of Blantons by Labor Day.  Scored these (6) 375 ML bottles, and 6 more small ones, in a whole case yesterday (shared the haul with a good friend, who'll drink a good bit with me).  So I was able to get (6) 750 ML's worth...  

 

I'm happy, and fairly well set for the holiday season, for Blantons at least.

Looking for a M10 rye to complete the tasting if anyone knows of one available. Got a M10 today for 165, not a bad deal. Hopefully I can find a rye so I can open all of these.

At the bar waiting for a table at a a place in Chattanooga this evening. Guy steps up and asks the bartender if they have Blanton’s. Bartender says they have it in both cans and on draft.


Guy and I just look at each other.

#6197

What does it mean to have a store pick that is not single barrel? How might this be different than regular double oaked?

Two store picks from OKC. I don’t chase unicorns so I like store picks because they are usually available for a few weeks, no rush, and not overpriced.
