As mentioned above, ER changed the label and dropped the 10 year neck label but it is still on the backside 36eafe3e11a28f6ee2071f14606f345c.jpg

My bad, my bad. I have not bought a bottle in a hot minute so I had my facts wrong.

While I can complain about the relative shortage of Weller, ETL and others in SoCal, one thing that is plentiful here is ER10.  This is a pretty common sight at my local place.

God damn, they got the Herman Munster sized bottles too.   Love those.

Rolled into my neighborhood Twin today to find a ‘19 Four Roses Small Batch LE just chilling on the allocated shelf.  What a time to be alive.

They dropped the single barrel designation a while back. I believe due to a change in production process where some bottles combine the last bourbon from one barrel and the first from another to reduce waste. So the vast majority is still single barrel but they can no longer label as such.

$29 over original retail, but Twin pricing is all over the map so who knows.  I’ve definitely never seen one on the shelf in my life.

No doubt. I have this above the 2013 125th. At that price I’d buy multiple. 

I had two 2018 130th.....that was the best I had ever had and I’m now kicking myself for not having set some aside for comparison because like Bert said, several people I know said 2019>2018. Damn my lack of self control

The 125 is one of my all time favorites.

Maaan I might have to go hunting today now. 

I made my pick up this morning: 2 bottles of Maker's Mark 2020 Limited Edition SE4 X PR5, one bottle of Maker's Mark 101, and one bottle of Sam Houston 14. 

Was pumped up today after getting a good grad school test result, so I broke my "No Hunting" rule. 

20201001_144630.jpg

man i cant find the B520 let alone the C920. 

It's no 2019 limited edition, but able to grab a tier 6 obsv and c920 at my stop today. I'll take itdf911a703b9bf7e442b34f7cbc05ae42.jpg

How much you pay for your C920? My neighborhood lady charged me $67.99 and I told her she should get more. People are going to buy it, might as well make a small buck.

59.99 at my place in nky. I usually avoid the places with big markups on stuff though.

Had the 130th tonight at moonshine for the first time and that stuff was excellent.

That BIB is $100.  I have not had it.  Curious just how good or not good it is.

Dudes at TW seemed to think it was good stuff. Guess we'll see

They put me on Bibb and Tucker. Which is, how you say, not good.

It was actually another customer who suggested it which, now that I think about it, was probably an undercover shill. Guess I'll add this to my pile of future Christmas gifts.

That bar cabinet is OUTstanding!

Have to love these small town grocery stores

ECBP I bought, not a big fan of WT but cant recall seeing 17 year on the shelf.
Hows the 1792 full proof?912d5d1696ead1c814de7069045eb20b.jpg63eaecc62944c7f2dc99f5857dd0e14b.jpg69fb2ccf4e9d8e2b50e545087d8b4a99.jpg

JD Single Barrel Select, M&R Liquor store pick.

Employee said other regular bourbonhead customer had said it had a lot of 'banana pudding'-like taste.  I told him I am still learning much, much, much about bourbon, but that one of my favorite beers had a very pleasant undertone of banana, in Live Oak Hefe.

Sipping my first one, and I'm not getting the banana at all.  Tastes like freaking bourbon.  

That's not to say it's bad, at all.  I just can't detect the different layers of flavor like others do.

I think the JDBP had more banana on the nose than on the palate. But it’s a damn fine pour.

I’ve never tasted the famous/infamous Brown-Forman banana note in Old Forester. It’s there in Jack SiBs, but pretty faint. 
 

Beam does like boiled peanuts. Not what I’m looking for in a flavor profile.

Thank you! I'm quite proud of it. I've posted pictures earlier in this thread but happy to share more.

Count me as a fan of Maker’s 101. Imagine Private Select without the stave finishing. Just a straightforward good wheated bourbon for $30.

Got a notification that Weller SiB was available from an online store I have bought from in the past.
$999

I’ll pass at that price.

There's one floating around here in San Antonio on Drizly for $549. Still nope.

I like your bar cabinet. I don’t like to display the stash because a guest could be a dick and ask for a pour of the best whiskey I have. If you live in Houston, you’re going to have some dumb ass Aggy friend by association over at some point. I guess they don’t know any better. 

I’ll take a picture of the stash after I move for the thread, and then lock it away in my home office.

As a matter of fact, I do have an aggy couple for friends, but luckily they're both physicians so they can buy their own damn booze. I gave him a beer and her some cheap prosecco last time they came over.

Don’t be an idiot, go back and buy that WT. it’s the OG Master’s Keep release, the new one says Bottled in Bond on the front.  They’ve been going for about $220-$240 secondary as people try to complete the set of MK as they become more popular.  I have all the others (some multiples) but none of that release.  If you don’t want it I’ll trade you something for it.

I would love to try that... perhaps I’ll opt for a $40 pour at the bar instead.

Forgot to mention that I had a hearty pour of EHT SiB our at dinner last night...

Simply incredible... I just have to find a bottle for myself!

Bring me that WT above and I’ll get you a bottle.
