  • 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 have a high rye 10yr Mgp redemption that is pretty spicy and was $90, and I don’t think I like it much. That’s good advice on the Rebecca creek. Some more cowboy bourbon just dropped. Tempted to buy bc I love it but it’s so expensive at $243 after tax. I think I may just need to recalibrate how much I’m willing to pay if I want stuff. I may just need to accept $250-$300 for a weller FP or StaggJr

I like to divide it by four and compare to a wine price.  No need to fret about $250 for Stagg Jr unless you’d feel moral outrage about a $60 bottle of wine.

Are you available to teach a seminar to our wives?

Yeah not sure what I paid for the MK Unforgotten, but it was more than usual.  When it comes to prices I dont pay secondary but I will throw down whatever on retail.

Interesting, I divide by 20 and try to decide whether I feel good about the per pour price. Assuming there are 20 pours in a bottle.

Oh man…I was at a store here in Austin and he had one but wanted $299…had to pass.

Also, found a brt-02 tonight to complete the pair for me.

It’s a little smudged/bad handwriting, but it’s an Act 8. I got very lucky and picked up 3 bottles in 2020.

Oh I didn’t check the act on the one I saw. I tried a sip off of one of this years release and really liked it.

I was hoping for an Encore this year. Higher proof than normal/unique finish, but you get what you get. An Act 10 for me.

How do people feel about retail locations doing customers “favors” by selling them bottles at secondary privies? I’m getting pretty frustrated about it. Went to abcliqour today and was offered h the e chance to buy a twice barreled rye knob creek. Msrp for $50 but was offered it for $129.

#17865

Free market economy. I’m not a fan but I’m also not mad about it. Those stores are generally a primary source of income for the individual running it. If I put myself in their shoes, I can see where I’d be pissed selling bottles to bros at MSRP only for them to take a crotch shot in their truck and sell it for 2x.

They are within their rights to do it, and I’m within my rights to stop shopping there.

If somebody offered me “allocated” Knob Creek Twice Barreled Rye at any price above a 50% off sale we would not be friends.

Agreed.

The same people making fun of these “museum liquor stores” in Facebook groups are flipping bottles online.

Uh, what?

It’s all subjective.
I think Whiskey Advocate had the JD Bonded as the best one of 2022. All this shit does is make it harder to get and prices to jump.
I stopped paying attention to rankings and awards long ago.
Drink what you like and don’t be a sheep to what people say is the best.
Everyone’s palate is different.

I’m curious to try that 922 because the last batch I had (b521 maybe?) was hot sadness that ended up getting mixed with ginger ale at the lake.  It seems like they feel pressure at BB to name something at least moderately findable as whiskey of the year while putting the hitters in their top 5.

Driving through Arkansas and Tennessee this weekend. Anyone have any honey holes in either state I need to hit up?

#17881

Anyone know where I might have a decent shot of scoring something interesting in Cedar Park/NW Austin area? OLC still the best bet?

Well today was a dud. A coworker was “tipped off” to a major score at Spec’s. So I meet him up there at 10am. Of course there were about 50 people in line. 
 

Our reward was a bottle of Booker’s 2022-03 and the 2022 JD Special Release.

That’s a dud?
Jesus you’re a whiskey snob.

That JD is fucking phenomenal!! I’ll buy it from you and pay for shipping it up here if you don’t want it.

Would you trade the Coy Hill Special Release for it? 

#17887
Would you trade the Coy Hill Special Release for it? 

Yes, and here’s why,
The Coy Hill is really really good, but it’s very similar to a higher proof JD Barrel Strength Single Barrel. Especially if you get a store or club pick.

The JD ASM is a completely different animal.
It’s so different from anything JD has ever done and the finish from the Oloroso Cask is so tasty.

You got yourself a deal sir. 
 

PM me the details.

I said I’d do the trade. But I don’t have a Coy Hill. Sorry. Wish I did.
I have a 1/4 of one. Lol

You won’t find anyone on secondary to do it though. Values are too far apart.
Coy Hill is going for over 400 and the ASM is going for 275-300.

What’s Weller Blue going for on secondary these days? I saw a gift basket today with Weller Blue and Green and a couple other things for $289 and I passed.

I like the store picks at OLC. You might get luckier somewhere else, but OLC has the best floor.

$250-$300.  not sure what else was in there, but it was probably a decent deal.  weller green is a $30 bottle.
