  • 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,

Is $67 a good price for e h taylor?

Small batch or single barrel? Small batch msrp around 40 and single probably around 60.at least in ky. 

$67 is great for Single Barrel, it's  becoming nearly impossible to find it, other than on the secondary market for $100+

Interesting, how is the 2018-03 Kentucky Chew batch? I have an opportunity to pick up a bottle. I've enjoyed many previous batches.

It was my favorite batch from 2018.
One of the best in the last couple of years IMO. Wish I had another. Killed it last night.

Holy s***, 2019 George T. Stagg is amazing. I’m enjoying a healthy pour at Whiskey Cake - Katy.

Holy shittttt this Calumet is good.

Light notes of vanilla and charcoal on the front, mouthfeel is syrupy and the finish is char forward with hints of oak and just a touch of sweetness.

Very distinct, not too hot for a 12 year. I dig it as a change of pace, but this would bowl you over as anything but a special occasion drinker. Half way through the pour and I’m already contemplating bad decisions...

Saw a bottle of this for $99 yesterday.  You're saying its actually worth close to that?

 

Also WT Rare Breed is now $40 at TW.

Fucking great bottle.

This one is a store pick from my local store here in DFW. Mine is a cask strength at 123 proof. Haven’t had the 90 though.

Ok I am lovvvvinnnngggg this...

It has a bit of Blood Oath (the good batches) in it, a nose full of gunpowder on the front-end and it finishes smooth with hints of orange.

Early impression: For $40 this is the best bourbon outside Kentucky

I’m going back on Monday to buy the rest.

Does FREE Gentlemen Jack count as quality bourbon around here?

It’s whiskey not bourbon by definition. My understanding is the sugar charcoal mellowing process is considered an additive.

This is actually not true. It’s meets the definition of bourbon. They have elected to use Tenn whiskey nomenclature.

If you guys see the Redemption Wheated Bourbon for anything in the $40-$45 range you need to pick up a bottle.  I tried it semi-blind with an NCF OWA pick and Maker’s RC6 and it won outright.  The Redemption was all over at Spec’s a couple months back and there has to be some still lying around. I can’t wait to see how that MGP wheated mashbill tastes at 8-10 years and higher proof.  

Picked up a bottle today from Alamo City Liquors ($42) along with a bottle of ECBP C919. Eager to try both after the recommendations here. 

Did any you of SOBs get a bottle of Larceny Barrel Proof at Spec's today? I went at 11 am. Didn't want to wait in line. Picked up a Spec's pick of Russell SiB and Bourye.

Clear their shelves at $40 for Rare Breed.  

Fuckin' A right.

We cleared half a new bottle after the bars closed last night.

The pandemic hysteria is a nice excuse to buy more bourbon. (ie, convincing the wife)

I did, but not from the Saturday ER release. Haven’t cracked it yet.

Finishing a nice day at Six Flags with the kids with some FR Small Batch Select and KC SB. Good day. (also probably contracted coronavirus)

I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure good whiskey kills the shit out of the Coronavirus.
Drink up!

EH Taylor BiB for $89? Good deal?

Bookers for $89?

Secondary is about 100 for each, so no

$30 high for single, $50 high for small on the EHT.  Bookers is $67 at pretty much every TW in Texas.  

Well, what a difference a day makes. I want from wondering when I was going to sleep for the next two weeks, to no Rodeo at all. 
 

I guess I’m begrudgingly back gentleman. Time to hunt. 

They serve Buffalo Trace bourbon on United flights.  At least on the flights from Houston to Richmond, Va.  They would only give me two of the small bottles.  Bastards . . . .

Toss those on the secondary market. 

One would have to think that some of the rarer bourbons won’t be gobbled up by bars and restaurants and actually make it to liquor stores.  I can’t imagine they’ll be buying as much as they normally over the next few weeks, so maybe some of us will be lucky enough to land some W12 or Blanton’s. Trying to stay positive in the COVID-19 hysteria!

All the distilleries closed tours for next week.
Cancelled our trip.
So bummed.

Fucking sucks - Hope you find a good time to get it back on the books.

Picked up Makers Mark Private select from recommendations here. Thank you. It is very tasty. Funny cause the nose is almost non-existent but the palate is phenomenal. Like smooth creme brule and spices. 

Also picked up a Balcones True Blue  because coworker “swears by it”. I’m going to give it the old college try during the pandemic

This is an example of that American can do spirit in action.  We're at our best when things are at their worst.

I call BS, the MFers will continue to buy em from their normal allocation and sit on them knowing full well that they will sell them in a month when the hysteria dies down. It's not like there's dozens of  extrac cases sitting out there to be had. "Hey dont send me any of the good stuff this quarter, okay joe?..."
