PSA:  thewhiskyexchange.com has blanton's gold back in stock - 85 euro + shipping.   However,  they are now no longer shipping to Texas,  so if you've got other drop locations,  cheaper than flying to europe.

  • 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,

Va. there will be a small handling charge....  but I'm in to buy a bottle or 3

Anyone in D/FW have an extra bottle of Blanton’s kicking around? Have a client asking for one for Christmas.

Store owner was happy and said the next bottle of Blanton’s through the door is mine, which was cool of him.

I feel like you’re judging me.

Gotta love how how my grandfather used to do it (WWII PT Boat Captain). Got a whole kit going. No clue what’s in the bottles, he passed away ~20 years ago. Probably Johnny Walker or Ancient Age though. Man I miss him. A great man and a Helluva Engineer.

Juuuuuudge !!?  Here on the Surly ??!  No fucking wai...  

Those flasks are cool as shit, especially since they were your granddads.

Thanks. One of the ones in the red kit is broken, and another is missing a top. But I can’t bear to part with them.

Favorite part about the intact kit: two flasks of whiskey are almost empty. Flask of water is almost full.

 Got an e-mail from local liquor super store for a black Friday sale with a variety of things. List included Weller 12. The notice said that specific numbers won't be released and it's first come first serve when they open at 9:00. No doubt there will be a line starting by 5:00 am or earlier. Last time they said later they only had 3 bottles. Not worth even going.

anyone try the HH BiB yet? Just picked this one up for $50 and I feel I may have overpaid, but I do like this distillery's work, so I'm willing to give it a shot. 

You definitely overpaid. It used to be the 6 year for $12. They added a year of aging and charged $40 instead of $12

Edited by Neonmoon

I'm not droppping $50 on liquor, wine, etc. I haven't vetted.  There's just too much great stuff out there at $30-$35 to have buyers remorse.

It’s good.

Got my Blanton’s tops back today from Buffalo Trace.
Really cool that they mount them on a free stained and poly’d barrel stave if
You send them to the gift shop.

wait they do what now? Please explain and or share a link

When you get all 8 different tops that spell out Blanton’s and send them to the distillery gift shop, they send them back to you mounted on a stained and poly’d barrel stave at no cost.

Pretty dang nice.

 

Just send them and your return info to:

 

Buffalo Trace Distillery

ATTN: Visitor Center/Gift Shop

113 Great Buffalo Trace

You putting Balcones on a pedestal?

Only bottles that would fit under the Horns. But that wheated and single malt barrel pick are both outfuckingstanding.

Had no idea.  Just looked in a drawer and I have 4 different poses, but one has no letter on it.  Are the letters a new thing?

Send them to me. I'll figure it out for you.

What’s the going rate on Four Roses SBS? GG had it for $52.99 but that seemed high.

I think out the door price on Thursday was right around 60 at WB Pville.

Granted that was several pours ago, synapses delayed firing.

I didn't know they did that for free. I'm at 7/8 with a couple duplicates. Need to find me an O!

They sell those staves at the gift shop at the BT distillery, but I don't remember how much they were. You can buy the tops for $3.50 a piece if you want or just can't find that dumb N: one.

Be careful buying one not actually on a bottle and sending it in, they claim they won't mount it unless they are from bottles. I guess you could always soak the cork in bourbon first to make it look like it was used.

Im  missing the B

I've been drinking Blantons for 10-15 years now I guess, when you could Waltz in and grab as many bottles as you wanted every time you went to the ABC store.  I didn't know about the letter thing till a couple years ago.  I've probably been thru a couple sets of letters over the years (I'm sure I'm not alone in that).

I wonder if there are letters that get used less than others intentionally ?

San Antonio small neighborhood store.

This year’s Parker’s Heritage Rye is like Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment: Complex, Beautiful and Dangerous...

Private club otherwise I would have snapped a pic of the bottle... would kill to have one in the bar.

You know the difference between ass kissing and brown nosing?

Same here. I always enjoyed the drink, never paid attention to the horse. Didn’t realize we had to play a stupid game. Had a bartender at the Gunter in SA explain to me why he had corks sitting on his bar.

What do you for a living? I love my boss, but I would never spend $400 on a present for him. 

ECBP was all over Tulsa this weekend.  Found it at 3 stores and bought it all.

Picked up a couple of bottles for my FIL at Total Wine in FTWa5043b675f09a57d54d62e5580cbb63a.jpg

$500. And it’s being split seven ways.

I did buy a $500 bottle of Glenfarclas 40 Year Scotch for an old boss and mentor of mine. But he literally changed my life. And he’s let me drink a good bit of it.

It seems to be plentiful at the moment.

I found Eagle Rare today for $40. Most I’ve ever paid.

Forgive the ignorance, but I assume ECBP is Elijah Craig Barrel Proof? I'm off tomorrow and will be hitting up the liquor store for something new. Looking at the proof on that though and it may be more than I'm used to.

Actually $36
