Yes, it's really true.  Don't be a hater.

  • 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,

A small isolated town in Texas called Houston.  Apparently in some of the stores, they are putting some of the unicorns out with a limit of one per person per unicorn.  I bought most of them on the same day.

I’d they had any Elmer left, please PM the location. 

It wasn’t Fryeday, but felt like a rye smack down. Vintage 23 took the crown.

Today was OK - Interested to give the new Blood Oath a try... hoping to God it’s better than that rum cask abomination!

What are the details on the new Blood Oath? I skipped it last year because they finished it in wine barrels. 2018 was overpriced, but pretty good. 

I just realized I have purchased this since this crazy started:

OWA 1L
OWA
Blanton’s X2
Woodford Reserve Batch Proof X2
Elijah Craig 18
Buffalo Trace Bourbon cream X2
Eagle Rare Store pick X2
Stagg Jr
Larceny Barrel Proof
Russell’s Reserve Store pick X3
Four Roses Barrel strength
Rhetoric 22
Redwood Empire 14 yr Cab Finish
Knob Creek 15 yr Store pick

Not to mention the numerous bottles of wine and beer my wife and I have gone through as well.

Actually, I think it was three total trips.  I got the Elmer maybe three weeks ago and it was the only unicorn available that day.

They changed their site recently.  Up until a week ago I could see where they had Weller SR at all their locations, not it doesn't even pull up.  

Yea, it's weird how somethings show up on the website and some don't.  I don't get it.

I picked up an Old Forester Single Barrel store pick today (Twin Liquors). Anyone tried this one before?

We need some new blood on here.

 

Someone find a new bottle under $50 thats fun.  Like the Woodinville reco

I picked up a bottle of bookers “granny batch” today. Has anyone tried it; was it worth the $75?

Whitmeyer’s Bourbon Rye Store Pick has me intrigued.

Yup, had a few pours of it last night. I have OF 1920 and OF Rye, so this was a nice addition to the lineup.

Under $50 ?!  Lets try under $25. There's a boat load of good hootch in the under $50 range.

First time venturing out in about a week. Bought 3 bottles for under $100 total at the local twin: Larceny Small Batch, Elijah Craig Small Batch, and Eagle Rare. The first two fit your definition. And the Eagle Rare wasn’t much more.

$32.46 drive out with tax. I’m not much for paying over MSRP.

Under $25?  

I can sometimes find EWSB for around $25 if it's on sale.

Elijah Craig

Tough to find OGD114 under $25 anymore in my locale, but I think it's still possible in some places.

Evan Williams BiB (white label) and 1783

Wild Turkey 101

Larceny

Buffalo Trace

 

I haven't tried Beam Bonded, but I read good things about it.

Look. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear

NEW shit

Not bottles I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy


I have OGD and Earlys BiB and Evan Single and all the rest

Every time I go to the store I see shit I never seen. Someone recommend that

I think I recommended Redemption Wheated a few pages back, but if you haven’t tried it, it’s my sub-$50 pick of the year so far.  I think I paid $37 at Spec’s and then it beat out Maker’s RC6 and an OWA store pick side by side.  It’s MGP’s wheated mashbill and I cant wait for some of it to come out at 10 years old and barrel proof.  It’s not easy to find, but nobody is hoarding it or anything yet.  
 

Bowman single barrel is also pretty solid and available for under $50. I need to try it side by side with something like Blanton’s and a Buffalo Trace store pick to see how it stacks up.

Haven't had it personally but a whole bunch of people have recommended Coopers Craft bottled in bond to me. I think it's around 30 bucks

I’ve seen Cream of Kentucky ($150) and a Kentucky Owl Bourbon ($260) recently on Drizly. Are either worth half the price they’re asking? 
 

(I realize no bourbon is worth over $100 in a sane world) 

 

Friend offering me a bottle of the cherry wood smoked barley from Woodford Reserve's masters collection for $100. Worth it?

I have both and say keep your money. Or, go buy a case of Woodinville/1910 for the same price.

Thank you sir. Will follow your recommendation.

Don't know that I've had much of this but I thought I'd post it for the greater good of all mankind.  You know, making the world a better place and all.

That’s for a handle btw. But I’m not a huge fan either.

Yeah it's never had a very good finish IMO.    Very weak on the back end.

Basil Hayden has to be Jim Beam's greatest mistake. Not good and overpriced.

I wish they'd work on making products like Jim Beam Urban Stillhouse Select more widely available.

i would say yes.  haven't seen that one.  they change it every year.  the one out now is a chocolate malt rye.  it's pretty damn good.

Pretty good use of my $100 TW gift card.

I think I like the bottle on the right better. Certainly for a third of the price.

(He’s right you know gif) Have both and agree. Although that’s pretty good Maker’s...
