  • 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,

Sagamore rye barrel select is great! Had midwinters night dram act 5 before this and I like sagamore way better.1af719051b3e8c6d1200d6be4196d87e.jpg

I’ve had a few different bottles of Sagamore and each has been excellent.

If you’re ever in need of the harder to get special releases just LMK - I haven’t had a single pour yet that I disliked.

Buddy and I are heading to KY on Thursday.
Short trip so can’t hit everything I want to,
But hitting Maker’s on Friday to hand dip bottles from my Ambassador barrel and Saturday we have a private tour setup with:

Wife and I got him by chance on a public tour a couple of years ago.  He’s fantastic for that gig!

apparently you don't like it as much as that guy

I also enjoy the sagamore offerings. 

Also had EC 18 for 249..0285064f933f4f400a87802f7afc6982.jpgab3f9e5693af4cf9b2df5ce95ba15cd5.jpg6dd130de0b2851c43fc761386b5eb82f.jpg

$499 for PHC heavy char rye?  Not sure if serious.

The port barrel finish makes MWND a little too sugary and figgy IMO. When I drink rye I want the spicy cinnamon taste of the rye to come screaming out at the forefront and I think the Sagamore does that. Also taste herbal notes like mint and dill in the finish that I enjoy. Honestly, I like Bourye and Double Rye better then MWND. I know I'm probably in the minority.

Hilarious that this is one per customer. Funnier still that it sold out in an hour.

The unthinkable has happened. I actually got drawn for a Saz18 from Total Wine’s drawing.

I like the 1792s that I've had fine (Small Batch, Single Barrel, Full Proof), but I don't think there's much difference between the bottles other than the differences in proof. I think the cheapest one (Small Batch I think) is probably a solid daily drinking buy, and the rest are passes

1792 BiB is essentially Tom Moore BiB. Handles are $20 and collect dust on the shelves. However, if Spec's slaps a sticker on a 1792 BiB bottle, they can charge $40, and it'll sell out in an hour. 

I think Tom Moore is better than 1792 BiB, and this includes the Spec's Store Pick. 

This on consumers not knowing what they're buying/FOMO. I can't blame Spec's for wanting to make money.

I think a lot of it is people buying anything that says Single Barrel, BIB,  Full Proof, Barrel Proof, etc while also saying Kentucky on the bottle

The Elmer in the middle with the foil still on the cap makes me think. Do you guys pull the tab on the foil and leave the rest of it intact? My ocd gets the best of me. I have to remove all of the foil, from the cap itself and the entirety of the foil on the neck.

it depends on the bottle.  if it starts peeling off when i open it, i'll remove it.  otherwise, i'm fine with it.

All the foil must go.

 

i can confirm, batch 15 has entered the chat.

15 is out-fucking-standing. I don’t do backup bottles often but that’s one I’d backup if the opportunity presented itself.

I have to have a backup before I can open a bottle. Yes I’m well aware that I’m strange

Enjoying a little KoK... On a weeknight no less.

Had a gift card to specs, so I decided to get two decent bottles. I’ve always thought of Jefferson’s Ocean as a marketing gimmick, but I heard a good review from someone I trust, so I decided to give it a shot. Also got the Remus Repeal, which is 12 year MGP which also has some good reviews

Can’t speak to the JO but in a big fan of the Remus Repeal Reserve. Never had to I, but the II was good, and the III was fantastic. Went through several. Just haven’t gotten around to grabbing a IV yet.

Ocean is good. It’s not $80 good but I’ve enjoyed it plenty of times.

Remus Repeal is a better deal at that price point IMO.

Cheers

I would never buy a bottle of Jefferson’s Ocean, but if I had a gift card... yeah I could see myself buying something a little out there. Why the hell not?

I think Ocean was actually closer to $65 at Spec’s, but I could be misremembering. I think the Remus was closer to $80

All of these in the bottom pic are at least $300 over secondary.

I'm calling on the power of the Surly here : I need help sourcing a bottle of a Bardstown Discovery Series 4. I've been all over Houston, and I haven't been able to find it. Has anyone seen it recently? With the exception of Facebook, all of my online sources have dried up.

I got the email that I have a Blanton’s waiting for me. I’ll take it, but I wish it was something I’d never had before though.

How does the Total Wine drawing work? Is it weekly like Goody Goody? 

It’s once or twice a year and pretty much based only off total spend. I bought a ton of assorted booze for a social event last year.

Looks like you have to be part of their grand reserve club, which looks like you have to spend $2,500 I think in the previous year to qualify 

Actually just asked the guy and they’re now doing it every 3 months.

So you spend $2,500 in a calendar year, and then you're in the drawings for the next year? 

Correct. I didn’t spend that much last year, this drawing was in December and I still had status from the year prior.

Same. Pretty disappointing that $4600 since August only gets me the opportunity to buy a single bottle of Blanton's from them. I gotta find a new place. 

The people bitching about how they spent X amount of dollars at TW and didn’t win shit or didn’t win something highly allocated make me cringe and my local groups are full of them. Lotteries, how do they work?

What the fuck is a “local group” when it comes to buying liquor?
