Tonight’s lineup:

‘21 A Smith Bowman
‘21 Warehouse C

The former crushed and it’s not even close. Could not be more disappointed with the Taylor. It was entirely lacking of character.

Can’t speak to the Bowman but 100% agree the Warehouse C was underwhelming

  • 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 mean, you’re in Maryland, so there might be a local bias, but I could see it.

Buffalo Trace tonight... but not nearly enough after the last two weekends

Three weeks away from Louisville trip.  Tried to book tours, only ones we've been able to secure are Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, Angel's Envy, Stitzel-Weller.  

Furk.

Sounds like we’re approaching consensus on Warehouse C.  But don’t get me wrong, if I see one for a grand or less I’ll be buying it to flip into a WLW in about 15 minutes on Facebook.

Side by side tasting the cheap stuff tonight. Early Times BiB currently smoking Ezra 7 Barrel Strength. 
The more i drink Ezra 7, the less i like it. Probably won't buy again after i kill the bottle i have.

Same. I liked my first bottle. Loved the second, and I haven't liked it since. I won't go back to it again.

Sorry just found this thread. Haven’t read the whole thing and I’m sure it’s been covered, but can someone learn me on Blantons?

Got a bottle for a gift. Haven’t opened it yet.

I know dickall about fancy whiskey other than I like it.

#15310

It’s good, not great. Good enough to be enjoyed neat. It gets way too much hype because it’s a pretty bottle and this people pay 4-5x what it’s actually worth $54-$60.

Trying to get an idea on how much a 2019 GTS is going for. A friend of a friend called me up last week wanting to buy mine (Got it in 2020) He'd read there wasnt going to be any this year, and was looking. I'm not even sure I want to part with it...

I could be wrong but after that announcement of no gts this year I was thinking National prices jumped up to $1000 or more…

I believe the 2020 GTS should draw a higher dollar amount than the 2019. 2019 was rather unpopular with Stagg fans because it was the lowest proof in the short history of GTS. I loved it, and I was happy to pay secondary for it. 

I paid $400 cash for the 2019, but that was roughly 12-14 months ago. 

#15324

Went and looked on a few pages and saw 19 sold for between 800-1000 depending on group in the last few weeks. 20 GTS is definitely going for more though. Bourbon is wild

There were a few stupid transactions (allegedly) at 1000-1200 but it’s falling fast.  He can have mine at 950.

Nobody is paying 4-5x for it. It’s settled in at 2x, unless it’s a store pick and then it’s going for $150.

Our friend Gary in San Francisco prices it for $200 and sells out in an hour.

the big problem with the secondary market is that nobody sells bottles for 1.5-2x retail.  i can't find blanton's here for $110-$125.  i can find it for $55 or $200+.

unicorn auctions most recent round (end of sept) had them in the ~$750 range, but that was pre-announcement.  a new round starts sunday, so you could get an idea in a few days.  i haven't opened my 2020 gts yet but planned on it.  $1000+ might change my mind.

It's going for around 850 secondary right now

I don’t know where you are but I can walk in to just about any store in the DFW besides the 3 big box stores and find Blanton’s for $199 and up.

I phrased things poorly. Surely some stores are price gouging Blanton’s and some idiots are still buying it.

That said, if you have access to FB secondary groups, Blanton’s is $120 on the regular and Blanton’s store picks are $150-ish.

Picking one up tomorrow. This one has been pretty elusive for me. I'm excited. 

I had one before and just thought it was amazing. It was damn near a “dessert” bourbon. Like a glass of brown sugar. So good. Enjoy.

Me too. I’m also just happy to hear the Specs line ring. Shows me it isn’t dead yet.

Stopped off for a back up bottle of Buffalo Trace at the local liquor store and noticed they are selling raffle tix (50.00) each for a shot at a bottle of O.F.C.  I'm now I shoulda bought in.  Probably run by there tmrw and get a ticket or two.  Somebody's gotta win.

Or the owner of the liquor store collects the raffle money, announces the winner is John Smith, and sells on the secondary market or just takes it home.

There is a good reason raffles are only legal if licensed through the state.

After a side by side tasting, the High Rye Jim Beam Signature Craft is better  than Rolled Oat. Imagine OGD BiB aged for 11 years. I liked the novelty of Rolled Oat on the first run, but palette and finish is better in High Rye. 
 

I think the half bottle and brand is scaring people away. Signature Craft just sits on the shelf at all the big box stores. It’s fair value at $40. 
 

Bottles I like to keep in stock: 

JB Signature Craft 

Jack Daniel’s SiB Rye 

Bowman SiB

How would you rank the Van Winkle + BATC for a lotto at msrp? I especially have no idea how to rank the BATC, but I'm assuming 23, 20, and 15 are the first three
