  • 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,

Not a bad offer, way cheaper for sure.

Did Garrison Brothers endorse Josh Wellers or something?

Does Josh Wellers like paying $180 dollars for $45 bourbon?

I think it's good, but doesn't really stand out in the competitive $50-$65 range

And that's a lot of competition.

I don’t like that stuff. I wish they’d focus on their single barrel program. The 11 year old SiB was outstanding.

Ha yeah that’s because it was 11 year SiB MGP, and not Belle Meade 

Nice as hell outside right now.

True, but BM is still MGP. Just blended younger MGP. They don’t distill anything at Nelson’s Green Brier

MGP is rather nebulous to me. I feel like every other day someone shows up with a new rando label and says "This here? 19 year MGP, baby." and I have no means to confirm nor deny without wading into the dark web.

Key is to look at the back label - “distilled in Indiana”

But agree it is never that clear. Especially for folks like Belle Meade and Smooth Ambler. Which buy young MGP barrels and age them in Tennessee or West Virginia. Not all MGP will taste the same given the varying climates in which they are aged. 

Here's the Spring Break bourbon play list next week between what I and my buddy plan to bring. Our families are vacationing together and we are doing a bourbon tasting.

What I am bringing:

Barrell 15 year

Angels Envy 2020

Widow Jane 15 year

Bardstown Destillaire

What he is bringing:

Whistlepig 15

Nikka Single Malt Yoichi

Kentucky Owl 10 year

EH Taylor Single Barrell

Will be a good week.

I think you misspelled Old Forester 1920

I probably incorrectly spelled half the things on there. There may be some MD 20/20 as well just for good measure.

Looks like somebody hit the glass case at a good Spec’s really hard.  Let me know how the WJ15 goes, I have a 14 I haven’t ever bothered to open.

I’ve been spot buying over past year so figured it was time to break out. 
I’m very excited about the WJ and the Bardstown Destillaire.

will be good trip. I’m definitely ready for a break. 

Felt fitting tonight 

20210311_210827.jpg

is this years balmorhea out already?  i got it last year at total.   let me know if you've heard of any in the austin area please.

I’ve still got last year’s bottle with one pour gone if you are interested. Overpriced and just ok.

I’m only drinking tonight this week, so I cracked my second to last half bottle of Buffalo Trace Goody Goody Store Pick. 
 

Are the handles of BT Store Picks still a thing, or have they disappeared into the ether like Eagle Rare handles? 

Btw Bill, I think you recommended the OF 1897. You are correct. It is tasty. I mean, The whole OF series is just delightful. And available everywhere 

weather was nice out so popped in the headphones and walked around the neighborhood today for two hours just checking out liquor stores and people watching. Stuck to the ones I had never been to or have hard to find but WAY over priced stuff.  Hit up 7 places but nothing unique or well priced (that includes Rums and Tequilas). All the prices seem tied to GME stock, even saw eagle rare for $61 in the 750ml bottle. Going to have to hit up the one good spot in the neighborhood tomorrow in order to have some karmic/life balance.

I am definitely enjoying OF 1910.  1792 Fool Proof not so much.  

Not giving up on the 1792 FP.  I drink everything neat so I’ll try again with some ice.   It’s just a little hot for my liking.  

Beaumont Bros, what’s the best liquor store in town? I assume it’s Longhorn, but which one? 
 

Also I need a good place to eat. 1701 is closed on Mondays so it’s out. 

This Thomas S Moore port finished is really growing on me.  Killer nose and a decent palate if a bit sweet.  Not quite as balanced and oaky as the WTMK Revival, but half the price.  I ran through a little over half the bottle at LBJ this weekend, but could have easily finished it if not for switching to an Alamo City Larceny pick after the first two drinks every night.

The Angels Envy 2020 won the blind taste test last night across the bottles I put up. It is smooth stuff. The Bardstown Destillare was great in an old fashioned I had afterwards.

NASA liquor is dropping a single barrel Buffalo trace today.

Based on Texas liquor laws + Instagram knowledge, it looks like they sold out in an hour. Spec's would be impressed.

I’ve had the same experience. Left mine alone for a couple of months before trying again and to my surprise, it was quite good.

Prideful Goat batch 2 dropped in SA today. ACL downtown location only. $150. 

Gonna look glorious next to my Batch 1 if BigD ever gets his green card and is able to come to Texas from Arkansas[emoji2357]

Had a fortunate event last week so I’m shopping for something appropriate to celebrate. Came across a couple insane options in DC at this DuPont Circle spot. They probably have 90 of the 100 bottles on my “buy this instantly and don’t look back” list, but with these prices it’s less of a celebration and more of an investment.

Gonna be interesting to see what I wind up snagging... sadly it won’t be either of the two above, but it will be noteworthy.

Went to snag some cocktail mixers and wound up with a fun one. Who here as tried Chapter 4?

I have. I really like it. I’ve heard others say that 3 was better but I’ve never had that one.

Finally snagged a Pikesville after all the love it gets. Also some St Paddy's Day goods and celebration bubbles (fiancée making partner at her practice).
