May 27, 20214 yr Anyone have plans to pick up the new Cask Strength bottle from Still Austin? Hoping they continue to put out different expressions. I’ve liked what I’ve had so far.

I took the sandwich and 1 of the bottles to the counter, and the guy told me to go back and get the other one too. Out the door for $135 or so. Never had bought EHt before, now it's a favorite. you fucker

May 27, 20214 yr Have a co-worker driving to Louisville to do the bourbon trail. Hoping that he'll land some goodies that I don't see around here that I can buy off of him
May 27, 20214 yr They should have plenty of the EC hand grenades. BigD brought me one back and it was very delicious.
May 27, 20214 yr Any houston guys know of a place where you can buy Blanton’s off the shelf, event if it’s secondary type of priced?

May 28, 20214 yr Finally got the trade done and the Grandma’s Closet OWO is now the new king of my wheated hype shelf. Everything gets opened around here eventually but I might have to stare at this one for a bit.

If you just need one for your tater shelf I guess I understand playing a FB for it, but otherwise it just makes no sense. when your inside dude at the grocery store texts you with an elmer. $39.99 but i had to drive to the valley and get the wife a bunch of actual groceries.

May 28, 20214 yr You crack any of those bottles at Kalahari?Ha, didn’t have the travel glen and didn’t think the individually wrapped hotel coffee cups were worthy. Probably happening this evening at some friends that we’re staying with.The wives were on FaceTime with a friend whose husband works in the business I guess and has traveled with some stores in the area for barrel picks. The wives were making fun of me for my black market bourbon dealings outside of a children’s resort. When she rattled off the bottles I ended up with, you could hear him utter from the background that it was a good haul. She they asked what I traded, his interest level changed noticeably. Lol “Wait, what? That’s definitely a once in a lifetime unicorn.”-Yeah I found two of them.“Wait, what? What’d you do with the other one.”[Wife flips camera around to the dog]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doesn't help you, but my search similarly got frustrating long ago, so CSB material: Got one today in Amarillo. My regular store asked me if I wanted anything special today. Said he had a Blanton's someone ordered and didn't pick up for $61 and a Michter's Rye for $46, among some other odds and ends. I grabbed both of those bottles, and looking forward to trying them.

May 29, 20214 yr Per usual, PMP is great. I love Weller 12, but the pairing elevate each other. I’m not going to say something snobby about Antique, but it’s best served in PMP.
May 29, 20214 yr Well RC12 is fantastic. I’ll be getting another one soon. Edited May 29, 20214 yr by stork642

May 29, 20214 yr Speaking of dusty bottles, just brought this back from my grandpa's house. He got it when my great aunt died 15 years ago, and her boss brought it back from a business trip in the 80's (I think). Anybody know what I'm looking at here?
May 30, 20214 yr Popular Post Ohhh shiitttt...Friend of a friend just cleaned out his parent’s liquor cabinet after they passed. Told him to look for dusty’s and he pulls this out:Offered to purchase and he said “Forget that, we’re drinking this mother fucker!”
May 30, 20214 yr Popular Post When my granny died I found a half drank bottle of peach schnapps in the back of the pantry. This is bullshit
May 30, 20214 yr So now errbody is pulling out beyond duplication and gold veins? My family is the worst.
May 30, 20214 yr If any of the collective loves the old bourbon, thematic decanter scene, This place was your Louvre. Mostly Jim beam but they're all pretty cool
May 30, 20214 yr Found a bottle of scotch my grandfather had carefully concealed in his closet when we were cleaning out their house after he died. I had never heard of it and it had probably been there for decades. My grandma apparently had an anti-booze phase in the 70’s. We did what any red-blooded Americans would do on such an occasion, grabbed 4 glasses and drank up. It sucked.
May 30, 20214 yr RIPSat out by the fire listening to music with my daughter all night. As good an occasion as any.

May 31, 20214 yr Author Nevada has the goods... and the best $30 pour of my life.Huge pet peeve of mine they serve you in a give-away Grand Mariner glass. It’s similar to getting a nice fancy beer served in a Texans Bud Light pint.

June 1, 20214 yr Anyone know when the KC 120 proof or EC single barrel selects with various age statements will be released this year? I got one of each from Twin last year and they were two of my favorite bottles.

June 1, 20214 yr There’s plenty of bottles to be found in that area that we don’t get or will never see here in Texas. Extremely unlikely you’re gonna find ETL or GTS, but saying you won’t find anything different up there than down here is 100% untrue.
