Seems like everything decent is over $50 now. I went out to grab a couple bottles as thank you gifts, and ended up going with 4RSB for $42. Is there any bang for your buck bourbon any more? Maybe Larceny?

Along with everything already mentioned, I like Old Grandad BIB as a cheap bottle

  • 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,

The Michter’s Rye was a bigger bottle, maybe 1L? Also the toasted barrel was barrel strength, not sure if the rye was

Cool. Hancock's is the sneakiest one in that group. I'd rather win it than Blanton's and OWA,

Bigger bottle as in taller and not shaped like the traditional ones? That means it’s the 10yr and that is absolute #2. Almost positive they don’t have any offerings in the 1L or 1.75L

Yep. #2 behind Old Rip or Parker’s?

#14710

Rip but that’s because I would immediately flip it for two of those michter’s 10yr. Old Rip isn’t worth anything close to what it’s bringing on the secondary market. I’m not sure I would buy it at retail. Now Lot B, well that’s a horse of a different color.

Old Rip is hilarious. It's not Pappy, yet gets treated like that on secondary.

Still I would grab it and sell it. Can turn it into multiple SJRs or whatever you like.

#14717

Walked into store this weekend. Bunch of Henry McKenna 10 year on the shelf. Man it’s been 2 years since I’ve seen that. 

#14718

I love Old Rip. Better than Lot B. Holds its own against WLW. It’s a damned good wheater. I think people are pissed because it once cost $50 and was attainable. 

I know we bitch a lot in this thread, but we’re relatively blessed in Houston/Austin/Dallas/San Antonio. If you don’t believe me go check out a liquor store in Big Spring or Midland.

Or we could go back to the good old days when the Centennial at Walnut Hill/75 was the highest volume liquor store in the country because if you headed north from there you wouldn’t hit another one until Oklahoma.

If you're planning on actually drinking the bottle, put EC18, W12, ETL and Blanton's towards the bottom. 

 

Didn’t get called for the main raffled, but did get an EC barrel proof, so at least I got something?

Damn. Hadn’t thought about Centennial in years.
Throw Red Coleman’s in the mix too.

I finally ended my Bowman SiB cold snap, and picked up a couple bottles today. Fantastic stuff for $46. 

Blanton’s wants to be Bowman SiB when it grows up.

In-laws got me a bottle of George Dickel 9 year single barrel select for my birthday. Haven't opened it yet, but anyone here had it? I've had other George Dickel that was okay, but not my favorite. Guess I could just open it.

Do you want to split one? I could use a few more.

I’m low key kicking it with some Blanton’s tonight. Pretty good, but yeah, I like the tasting notes on Bowman SiB better. The extra proof is a big help. 
 

Making more Bowman SiB, less Blanton’s, and much more SFTB is how I’d steer Buffalo Trace. Unfortunately my opinion counts for jack squat.

What’s the preferred price range on this one.  I found Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye this week for $62 so I passed.  Same store had Stagg Jr #15 for $200 and ER for $80.  Stupid.

I’m guessing you meant #15, because Stagg Jr #5 for $200 would be about $250-$300 under the current market price.

Yes. 15.

$46 in Houston.

Cracked open some bottles with bil last night. Smokewagon u/u, michters 10, michters sour toasted, cream of Kentucky, plain ol’ Blantons, pappy 15. First time trying smoke wagon - not sure if I got an off bottle, but it tasted almost like Marsala or Sherry to me.. super sweet, tons of dried fruit (prune, fig), just really weird.

What’s the thread consensus on Widow Jane 15 for $188? 

Haven’t had it, but had 14 and didn’t love it. I’d grab a 13 year single barrel for almost half the price.  They batch Dickel in those Vault blends.
