PG 2 required an advance ticket, and you had to pick it up at the "distillery" East of Downtown Houston. I haven't seen it at any Houston liquor stores. 

I walked into a release of PG 1 when I was picking up something else, and it went in a hurry. 

PG2 was released around town after the release at the "distillery", similar to the other releases 

Specs gets a lot of bottles, but I got PG2 at Ryan's Liquor 

Was too busy around the time of release to grab the latest

  • 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,

I liked batch 2 of PG well enough but I don’t think it’s $150-good to invest in another batch. I’d say buy one if you haven’t gotten one of the other batches. 

I'll buy it if I see it at around $120 or less, but I won't drive around or pay up for it


Still working on my Series 5. Bought into the hype and picked up a bottle. Good but not a fan for the price. Better, cheaper alternatives out there.

Correction. Upon further examination - still working on Series 4.

I completely forgot I ordered this L'Encantada Armagnac until Total Wine emailed me this morning and said it was ready to pick up.  
It's a blend of 10 24-36 year old blends finished in ex Weller barrels.   Holy shit there is a lot going on there.  It's freaking amazing.

What’s this ordering process? Is this the sort of thing you do through a wine concierge like a buddy of mine uses?

It was through their concierge program.  Link for it was posted in my local FB group a couple of months ago.

Gotcha. I’m sure I saw it in one of my waking up or going to bed scrolls and didn’t process it. I think I end up seeing more posts here based on my notification settings that say “look at me!” because of my OCD that makes me click to clear everything.

My main focus at this point is figuring out when this year’s hazmat JD special release is going to hit and MWND, since I missed the OK release by a day.

PG Batch 2 was sitting behind the counter at Richard's Liquor on Kirby last week.

Is Kentucky Spirit good? I have never had it.

Spec’s had some 10 year single barrel picks last year that were excellent.  It’s what 101 wishes it still was.

I like Rare Breed better, but yes it’s pretty good. It’s probably purely mental, but I liked the old bottle more.

Look at this muhfucka’s bar.

Is Kentucky Spirit good? I have never had it.

I like it. And my aversion to everything Turkey with the exception of RR SiB is well documented around here. But Rare Breed and KS are very much a bottle I always keep on hand. It’s not one I go to every day, but I’ve never been disappointed when I do go to it.

That is awesome.  I might need to get a bottle of that.

I have a bottle of booze that has my name on it.  It’s not any good.  Hope that is better than the swill being marketed by one of my distant relatives.

Accusing me of being this guy will get you some neg rep around here.

Revisiting A Smith Bowman… stone cold sober and this shit is outstanding!

Uggg I am paying for last night’s choices today, but it was alll worth it. If you see this bottle in the wild, do not hesitate.

Oh, also, this is now a thing. Sadly I’ll be in Texas during the release but may get lucky on return… here’s hoping!

So I am a rum drinker and don't know shit about bourbon . Son in law comes over for thanksgiving every year and I usually buy him a bottle. Big bourbon drinker , but not the drunk guy. Looking for a bottle that will be more of a "cool really appreciate it" than a " meh, rolling eyes " bottle 

Past bottles include :

Angels envy

Woodford reserve

Evan Williams single barrel

Gentleman Jacks (yes I know that's a whiskey )

Looking around $50. What does Surly suggest?

They didn’t have this at the Houston Whiskey Social. I was a bit disappointed.
