Kentucky Owl is fantastic. Both versions. Not a bourbon though. Easy to find.

Yeah I still haven't my bottle of the 2017 Kentucky Owl Rye. 

Maybe I'll buy a bottle of Garrison Bro's Cowboy to shut up a certain poster on this board ;)

I swore off GB after my first sip.

Would be curious what you would say about that offering.

I was messing with the Dan Garrison sock on the board. 

What are your thoughts on the WhistlePig 15 Year Straight Rye? Only 92 Proof has me a little worried.

I don't get worried about proof the way some of you do.

That being said I have not had that version of Pig.  I do like every other variety I have had.

My first venture into Whistlepig has been awesome. Love it. 

 

Is Bakers received well here? I just picked up a bottle on a whim. 

#3909

So I’ve joined a few bourbon groups in the last year on Facebook, has helped me find stuff a few times.

 

But I swear 50% of the people on there just seem to buy stuff for the sake of saying they have it, like collecting comics. All I see are pics of huge collections of never opened bottles, don’t get it .

 

 

Drink it or GTFO

Tell him his $25 bottle of GB was so bad, that I would never spend a dime on anything higher priced. I hosted a blind tasting with 8 guys, 12 bottles of various bourbons, and GB was the resounding worst of the lot, to the point where no one would willingly drink it.

Garrison Bros isn’t good. I had their barrel pick at Jack Allen’s and could barely finish it.

My haul from my recent adventure in Austin: 

Oak: 

Knob Creek Single Barrel Store Pick, 13-14 Years 

 

Have you tried this yet? Just picked up a bottle.

For the BurYear - I’ve had a little Whisle Ping Old World finished in the PX Sherry Casks that my bro-in-law got me for x-mas. What are y’alls thoughts on the sherry/port finishings? Price grab by the distillers?

Regardless - I do think this is delicious.

Sherry Finishing is like regular bourbon. Some do it well, and many do not.

Really enjoyed the bottle I had of that.

Had some W.L. Weller special reserve on Saturday night for the 1st time.  I see now what all the fuss is about.  It was surprisingly better than what I've been drinking over the last couple of years.

#3931

Have any of you ever tried 12 year Peg Leg Porker. Had a bar houch trying to push some on me the other day.

#3933

Got a lead to pick up Rutledge’s new cream of Kentucky release. Anyone tried it? Thoughts? Retail $150. Given limited release I might go for it.

Research tells me Jim sources 1792 barrels. He’s a great blender, but that markup for the 1880s brand name and his personal name probably ain’t worth it. U wish him well and will support him though
#3936

Give this beginner a guide in finding a hard fo find bourbon. Do I literally have to call every store I can? I’m looking for some Elijah Craig BP

Has Bookers 30 hit Texas yet? Most of the release articles are from December 2018. I figure with the lag time, it might be available. 

This Booker’s release came and went 3 weeks ago. 

#3941

I got a guy who is willing to trade a 10 year ORVW for 2 1.75l W12s, a 1.75 Antique and a 750 Antique store pick. Seems kind of high price to me. What do you guys think?

#3944

Well what would you offer?  I have 3 handles of W12, 1 handle of Antique, and a 750 Antique Spec's store pick to trade. He wants nearly all of those for this one bottle that retails for about $90.  I'm thinking 1 W12 and the two Antiques is about fair, but maybe I'm underestimating the ORVW 10 year value. 

#3945

You ever had the ORVW 10? Find a watering hole that has it and make sure you like it. Does he have a cash price?

#3946

I have not had it, but I don't need all these extra bottles lying around. I have 3 handles of W12, one from each of the last 3 years, a 2016 antique, and the specs pick. Just trying to combine them to trade up for something I can't get otherwise, like ORVW or THH.  Not sure what fair value is on these. 

#3947

This. Definitely try it first.
#3949

 I would say your offer might be right on.  Are you trading at secondary values?  Secondary pricing wise, I would guestimate values from BSM at:

ORVW is $400 (+/- $25)

W12 1.75 $200 (+/- $ 20)

OWA 1.75 $125 (+/- $10)

OWA SP $90 (+$10 for NCF)

I propose a new arrangement to the thread, if something good hits Texas, post about it here. I'm not asking everybody to reveal their honey holes, heck I'm not even asking y'all to reveal what city you saw a bottle in. Just give everybody a heads up to start looking. 

We can all look up the anticipated release dates on Breaking Bourbon, but those are very general dates. March 2019 doesn't help anybody. Distributors in Texas sit on stuff all the time, there are shipping delays, really there's no other way of knowing other than word of mouth. 

I'm in, and I hope y'all are too.
