June 26, 20214 yr Just your normal 50 bottle mail day of Woodinville.. Oddly enough not one bottle is for me. Just sharing my Washington connection with friends. #HailState
June 27, 20214 yr Drinking some Buffalo Trace to help get over the Horns losing. Ya'll had a great year. Let's meet up some over time.. Cheers..#HailState
June 29, 20214 yr Becoming very hard to find JJ Bowman on the shelf anywhere these days. Glad I already have a backup. We have plenty in these parts - Recommend flying to DC this fall and hitting up Bowman and Sagamore before a trek out to WV to see us stomp the couch burners.

Is the Abraham Bowman Cask Strength available in that area? I'll actually be in DC then Virginia for a week or so in early August.
June 29, 20214 yr Got a call today that my name was drawn and I was very excited seeing all the Weller 12 hitting everywhere but it was not to be. I’m always happy to get another bottle of EHT small batch for $36. Is there a better value out there?

Off the top of my head: Buffalo Trace store picks Eagle Rare McKenna 10 Evan Williams SiB Weller 12 All of the Buffalo Trace Kosher recipes Yes I realize most of my list is difficult to find, but BT picks pop up pretty regularly and Evan Williams SiB is on the shelf everywhere.

June 30, 20214 yr I was talking to a coworker today, and I realized I’m out of a lot stuff. I need to throw myself a stock the bar party. Shopping list: Bowman Single Barrel Cheap Maker’s Mark Private Select picks 1870 OF100 OF Rye Jack Daniel’s SiB Rye Twin Liquors skipping the Dollar Day Sales this year really screwed me on stocking up. I don’t know what it is about the Maker’s Private Select picks. I’ve never had a bad one, and I rip through them. They’re a darned good high proof wheater.

July 2, 20214 yr I don't know what sorcery they used, but Still Austin Cask Strength is pretty darned good. Probably the only Texas bourbon I would recommend right now.

Not sure it would rise above mixer in the collection at cask strength so I doubt I’ll pick it up.

July 2, 20214 yr I… had no idea this was a thing, but now I need to try it!Secondary is north of $10k for the bottle. If you find it in a bar it’s going for $600+ /pour.

July 3, 20214 yr Neighbor picked up the Booker’s Tagalong Batch yesterday. I was with him and there were two more on the shelf but I’m actually paring down my collection. I should get to try it today though. Country Ham is his all time favorite, but I didn’t think it was all that.
July 3, 20214 yr Are there any identification markers on EHT SiB bottle? I ran into a bad one. Strong scotch notes.
July 4, 20214 yr Oh no. I have two I haven’t opened. keep going back to my redemption high rye specs pick. Barrel 20-105. It’s fantastic for 45 and 105proof.

July 4, 20214 yr This is downright fucking delicious. As much as Balcones can fuck shit up, they can also put out some banging shit. F43BCF30-D5C6-4803-8DB1-FC59061B0131.heic Edited July 4, 20214 yr by BigDHornfan
July 5, 20214 yr Did some great smoking on pork belly burn ends and Costco prime brisket that I finished off with Boutique-y 24 year Heaven Hill, Widow Jane Lucky 13 Spec’s, Woodford 128.3 and a fresh crack Blue Note 17 year Dickel single barrel from Alamo City in SA. It’s barrel proof 94.5 and surprisingly tasted nothing like any Dickel I’ve ever had. I was calling it a cherry note and my neighbor went with plum, but either way more like a Sazerac product and less like vitamin sadness. A bit steep at $150, but no regrets on opening it with friends to celebrate America.
July 5, 20214 yr The lack of activity in this thread today is disturbing We got into some shit today… will post the lineup tomorrow… hope you all blew it out!

I have the 99 proof variety from the same store (they did two picks) and was interested how it is. I have a Blue Note 9 pick from Skip’s and it’s great, so I’m happy to hear the 17 is good too. Blue Note seems to be laying their Dickel on the table with these releases.

Yeah, I missed on the 99.0 barrel but grabbed a pair of these. Traded one off and almost wish I’d kept both. Older, relatively low proof stuff is on a bit of a hot streak with my tastes currently.
July 6, 20214 yr I was out of town and missed all the bottle drops last week in Austin. Found one bottle of Eagle Rare 10 today, but that's all that was left.
July 6, 20214 yr Yeah that’s where my head is at too - Finished the night with the BO and wished I had picked something different, but that’s where our guests wanted to roll.
