allocation is allocation.  Kentucky had no better selection of bourbon on the shelves than texas does.

I was referencing the gift shop circuit.

Slow week for allocations in my neighborhood haunt. Ended up taking home a bottle of Angel's Envy Rye even though it was low on my wishlist.

Scored 2 OF birthday bourbons yesterday in a raffle. Myself and my wife both got drawn, damn good day. 

Wanna sell/trade one of em?

I just left 1 McKenna 10sb at the Specs discount at Westheimer Montrose.

Not that this is the thread for it but they also had 12 Dogfish 120. I bought 3.

Anyone stumbled upon Weller Full Proof? The stores I know of only got a few bottles and they were gone same day. But it’s supposed to be good.

I'd be surprised to hear it even made it to Houston yet. I just saw where one of the original bourbon pursuit group got 2 bottles in Kentucky during the Bourbon and Beyond festival and he's connected.

Only thing more annoying than the horrible Bourbon recs that are foisted on me there is your constant referring to them as the four letter word store.

I was there today. Four different salesmen hassle me in the three minutes I was on the bourbon aisle.

I'm a diplomatic guy, what would you prefer?

So did you buy the recommended Trinity River Two Year Double Barrel Caramel Special Select?

Do you have to go to certain liquor stores in San Antonio to get a good selection of brands ?  Hit one last night in the Pearl district after the airport drive. Nothing but very average offerings other than Makers and Bulleit 10 year (which we got and are drinking currently).

#6286
Girlfriend got me this for my birthday after we did the Balcones tour. Really good stuff.

Great bottle.
The wheated bourbon is really good too.

In SA it’s Alamo City or hope for something lucky at Spec’s or TW.  I’ve picked up a few decent bottles at TW there and would say that people are a little slower on the draw there vs Austin.

Accurate post is accurate.

Went to a random liquor store on Richmond outside the loop and they had Legent for $80.  Everything else looked MSRP.

I don't understand the Legent hype. Is good for its price point but i wouldn't pay a dime over retail for it.
#6292

Exactly. $38 is fine for Legent.

Otherwise the 2 bottles of 1910 at TW today at $45. That’s good too.

Asshole store owners trying to capitalize on the taters. Had one try to tell me about this legendary Japanese whiskeymaker doing a very limited release joint venture with Jim Beam for $70. When I grabbed the Early Times BiB instead he says oh man you’re not gonna like that. If I hadn’t been hard up to find the ET I would have put it down and walked out without giving him a cent of my money.

I really like Legent, but you’re spot on it’s correctly priced at $40-ish. Better options at anything above that price

 

 

Bingo.    and for the money, that ETBiB is outfuckingstanding.

#6294

in the last couple of months i've found a bottle of weller antique, parker heritage, and a stagg jr.  that's about it.  no blantons, eht of any kind (looking for the single, 4grain, or amaranth), btac.  if anyone is in austin and knows of some please pm me.

Beverage depot on Northwest HWY and Abrams in Dallas had about 6 bottles of Legent for $36/per. I picked up two 

Edit: this was on a random Thursday after work that I found em so it's not like they were flying off the shelves or anything

I am totally shocked that a DFW store with Depot in their name had anything not priced secondary.

I was just as surprised, I should've bought all six. I haven't been back but will stop by again this week to see if it was a fluke or not 

#6299

did not realize wheatley stopped making the 4g.  legent is good, but not worth going crazy for.  the one I've been impressed with lately is balcones pot still.  $23.  that's half the price of their other products, and a damn good bourbon. 

#6300

Today picked up old forester 1910. Apparently it’s a double oaked bourbon like Woodford reserve double oaked but with more char. The store owner I bought it from said its allocated and he only got two bottles. I’ve only seen the 1920 before but not the 1910. Is it really that hard to find?
