  • 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,

    Having a pour of my favorite in honor of my girl. Hanna gave me 16 great years. RIP girl. Hope you finally got that fucking squirrel.

That’s really high. I ran across one earlier this week at $269, and still felt that was too much.

Got my hands on this guy and am looking forward to my first pour this evening:

got a ECBP a120 at lunch.  Owner pulled out his bottle of Weller Full Proof.  Said i could have it for 399.  Should I go back and get it?
Full blown secondary shipped to your door is around 300 to 325

it was a funny little store.  had eagle rare behind the counter for 99.  told me he had two blantons for 199 each.  but he had 5 bottles of eht small batch all priced at MSRP.  Got a makers 101 for 40 and an ECBP a120 for 99.

unrelated, opened up the larceny BP b520 last night.  that shits good.

Not, not worth it.  It’s solid stuff, but you’ll probably be kicking yourself afterwards if you drop that much. That price is well above secondary (which is around $350).

Is New Riff in Texas now?

Is New Riff in Texas now?

It is not, but there are a couple of websites that assort it and are able to deliver to Texas. I picked this bottle up from Mash and Grape, and it was $59.99 delivered to my door. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on one for a minute, so I pulled the trigger.

Costco in Tomball today.  They had Remus Repeal Reserve (I've tried) and KC 12 yr (I have), but I jumped on this one since I have never tried it before.

So my regular package store got in 16 cases of Buffalo Trace.  I bought one 750ml bottle for $25.

Decent price?  They have not had it in so long, I really don’t know.  I was honestly expecting to pay more, the way some of y’all go on about it.
 

Should I go snag more tomorrow?

back in the day the trifecta of buffalo trace, makers mark, and knob creek, as all you ever needed.  now they're still on the shelf every day at every store for $25 but we spend our days hunting for higher end bottles.  

I don’t know what area you live in where BT sits on the shelf but it’s not in Texas. I can make five different stops in a day and I’m lucky if one has BT.

Slorch, go back and buy more. Immediately.

It's funny, they did a FB blast and it said 16 at the north location and 15 at the southside location.   I was thinking, "16 bottles ain't gonna last long.  It's right by work so I'll go by."   I walk in an it's a 16 case display.  Dude said it should last about a week and a half at the most.  They have not had it for 7-8 months at least.

I'm sippin on a glass right now, and it's good, but damn.  I was surprised when it rang up for $25, as I figured the demand for it would make it pretty steep.  I'm probably gonna grab 3-4 bottles in the morning, and I'll share it with my boys when I get to see them.

Spec’s Houston always has Buffalo Trace. Store pick handles are a personal favorite of mine.

Pretty good day.

This Michters is funky good. Massive mouthfeel and unique finish. Very woodsy/rye tannins. Not at all like the dessert drinker the review I read made it out to be. Yet anyway.

I bet it tastes different after it airs out a little.

The store around the corner from my house in central Austin had no less than 2 cases of BT 3 days ago. Same as it did the week before and the week before that.

It is most definitely very available in Texas.

Anyone try this yet?d8c2d951b9e5fc871bec82a09b08e14f.jpg

Yeah that's exactly what it should sell for.

Wat.  That’s like $55 under MSRP.  Clear the shelves.  Just had 4 tonight and it’s a big drop from 3 but good trade bait at that price. 

Neighbor’s wife found these at bumfuck north Georgia store today and brought them home for him

Little Book 3 was incredible. So happy I bought two. 

I’d rather have Benchmark than BT. I see it plenty in Dallas and always pass. Just not a fan.

If some of you locals want it, I can pick some up and pierce the internet veil to settle up later.

In every store in various bottle sizes in my East Texas town.

Makes me laugh when I’m in Houston and I see “limit 1”, but I always see it in the North Houston stores I occasionally pop into. 

Pre-COVID my go to bourbons: 

Restaurants : Buffalo Trace 

Nice Bars: Elmer T Lee 

Planes: Woodford/Buffalo Trace/Wild Turkey 101

Dive bar : Shot of WT101 and a High Life 

Flask: Buffalo Trace, preferably a store pick

Open bar: Jack Daniels, preferably Gentleman Jack

Woodford ain’t bad if it’s all they have. Plenty of restaurants out there with laughable bars.

RY10 should be a staple in every whiskey cabinet.

Yes.  It’s been all over the shelves at $59 recently and well worth picking up.  But only if you like a nuttier taste than Redemption Wheated which is cheaper and better. 

My wife wouldn’t piss on my bourbon collection if it was burning down our house.

I hate that guy and especially@erhine

Eight Row Flint in Houston had a $4 special back in the day. Shot of Turkey 101 and a High Life. 
 

Regrettably, they changed the special to a shot of Wild Turkey 81 and half size High Life. 
 

Regardless, any boilmaker is pretty good.

3.75 at the goat in east dallas last time i went a few years ago. Weller treating me well tonight. I can't fuck with alot of you guys with bourbon prices. Miss Eagle Rare 

Remus Repeal Reserve 4 is tasty shit. 12 year old MGP. I need to go buy another bottle.

Haven’t plucked a 4 yet but know I will. It pains me to pay over ~$60 when there’s so much available under that price point that is delicious, but the III was so good. II was great but III was another level.

I think they get better with each release 

Is it 4RSiB store pick time of year? I just saw one on Blackwells. I’d rather not pay shipping and pick one up at Debs or OLC in Austin.

anyone know?

The Blackwells pick sold out in less than an hour. I’m about to throw in the towel on Four Roses picks. I’ve struck out many times this year. 

Not barrel strength but pretty tasty, picked up this pick yesterday2db0d002bc6f9fafde80bfba774eefd0.jpg
