Was visiting our offspring in the Washington DC area and wandered into a random liquor store next to where we had lunch.

Eagle Rare (prob 12 bottles on the shelf) -- $59.99

Blanton's (2 bottles) $159.99

EHT (4 or 5 bottles)  $119

Weller 107 (1 bottle)  $199

Made no purchases at these prices.

Would have bought all 12 bottles

  • 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,

That Whistlepig is the tits for the price-point.  Bottles don't last long these days...

Still a little bubble gummy, but it’s the only Whistlepig I would recommend.

I have a predilection for smoother, sweeter spirits.  Dad brought back a bottle from his trip to Scotland - god help me, it was an ashtray in a bottle.  Amazing, but still.  I think that is why I'm trending more towards the Japanese whiskeys.  Working on a bottle of Yamato Small Batch right now.  Dangerously good.

What are your thoughts on Blade and Bow by Blanton's?

I assume you’re getting in a bundle? Blade and Bow is a Diageo product. The 22 year is supposed to be really good if you afford it.
 

I’m one of the few, but I like Diageo’s older products. IW Harper 15 is pretty solid, but too expensive. 
 

If the Blade and Bow is age stated 15 years or older, I’d probably pull the trigger if its reasonably priced. Just don’t buy that Blade and Bow s*** that Total Wine guy hocks like a used car salesman.

Need to up my game.  Many thanks!  What is your "go-to" or "can't miss" these days?  Say...< $100/bottle?

I believe we’re talking readily available. 

Russell’s Reserve SiB store picks, $60 range. Jack SiB Rye store picks you want a rye, $55 range. 

If you want to drop under $50, I’d go with Old Forester 1870. OF Rye is also really good in the under $30 range. 
 

The cheapest thing I’ll drink is Early Times BiB. Under $21 for a liter. I just can’t do it anymore with Evan Williams BiB. 

U ppl better be right about these things

Well you already screwed the pooch. The one on the left is the Small Batch, not the Small Batch Select that has gotten mostly favorable reviews around here. The one you snagged is a good mixer I guess but I’m not drinking it meat or on the rocks. I like the single barrel alright, it just lacks depth but not a bad flavor at all.

There’s nothing wrong with that single barrel.  Try some Old Forester 1920 if you haven’t had it already.

I think you didn't pretty well here. I really like Four Rose SiB. There are better things on the shelf, but it's always good. 

Small Batch is good too, but you'll like Small Batch Select more when you get around to trying it. 

never seen the select.  if i drive around i can get the 4roses small batch 2020 limited edition for $250 ...

That LE is a buy at $250 but that’s the most I would go. Bought the 130th a few years ago at $129 and would do it again all day

Congratulations. I assuming you caught one at the rabbit south of Houston? 

Actually the little local spot. I’m guessing he finally got something good and have it to me this time.

Gonna give this guy a whirl tonight.

Just another weekend get together.
Got a new Woodinville shelf that holds 39 of my 41 bottles.

Some fun bottle kills.
Lots of fresh cracks. 9e5f5e7ead13e69c84ae78fb5666025f.jpgc5d991c7dfea09051b8b8e8d54d186d1.jpg1be41a7d797ba905665868b33229ad82.jpg6538a1cda31e88ef53f9ddcdd546d6a0.jpgf486adc3ddd92da1ff0aed11d24c6e83.jpg4895669b9a9dde414e41896a1ed9bc6b.jpg7e853720755b4bf4ea1f6b5507acc10a.jpg14832299c2983ca5b30564a3622b6199.jpgcdeb415cf24d02c843e278354d9be4de.jpgb9b3cf0f27d0b036aa0c075844807016.jpgeca1ef47e44bf05eb30efd2711c9878a.jpgbb8311fbef392c35e246f7b470dd4964.jpg

Back in the good ole days (4 years ago) we walked to and from liquor store uphill both ways, barefooted in the snow, in order to buy a handle of Weller 12 for $50.

Just grabbed one of these. I’m excited.

I’m a big fan based on the first pour I had. A very punchy Rye in all the right ways. Not sure the low frequency Metallica had anything to do with that, but it’s good stuff.

Blackened, ingested by me 

All that I drink 

Absolute pourer 

I cannot live, not without rye 

Pissing myself 

Feeling like holy hell

Weller CYPB incoming. I'm gruntled. 

I'd rather sell it for $700 or whatever ridiculous shit it is going for now and buy something better.

But then again I don't have one on my shelf so my ideas are mooted.

Got into some Hancock last night.  Best 88.9 you are going to find.

Oh I love some Hancock. 

Would love to get your thoughts on CYPB after you open it, Bill. 

That and Weller Single Barrel are unicorns but I haven't seen very many positive reviews of either.

I've decided to drink it and not flip it. The people selling it to me expect that, and I'll honor it. So you'll get your review eventually. 

You might have some luck running down a bottle at Whiskey Cake in Friendswood. I wouldn't recommend the Stafford location. Bourbon dads have picked that place clean. 

I went into WB Liquors on Richmond the other day after the BT drops. One of the employees said people are following the delivery truck all around town and hitting up every Costco to snag bottles. He also said a couple of dudes bought bottles and then came back 15 minutes later in different clothes with mask covering to try and buy more. Fucking assholes.

I'll never buy a white or orange Weller unless it's at MSRP. Which means I probably won't get one, but whatever.

Blue Weller is a must have though. Hopefully I can get a bottle by the end of the year.

Today was fun. Got to do a JDBP pick with the Assistant Master Distiller.

Picked up a regular/original Blackened this week, its really nice, slight bite, great long finish.  I didn't see this version but am curious to try now, will definitely be on the lookout.

Picked up a Bomberger’s ‘21 in a trade today. After one pour I’m ready to declare it as a must try/must buy. Absolutely fantastic bottle.

Very nice. Hard to find these bottles at over 10 years old these days.
