So Spec's Fountain View even had Weller SR today in 750 ML and 1.5.  I haven’t seen Weller SR in the wild in Houston in about a year.  What gives?

Where are you normally looking? I give people in Katy shit for posting pics of SR at Spec’s Main Event, but apparently they only get it out there once a month.

  • 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,

It’s starting to dawn on me why Spec’s had about 2 cases of EC Toasted out at 11 am. It’s decent, but nothing special. It could be great at a higher proof. Hopefully some store picks are on their way. 

That stuff is gross, maybe the worst toasted I’ve ever had.  And who’s looking for Weller SR and not finding it?

I shop mostly at Spec’s and Goody Goody before it closed.  Goody Goody had SR on the shelf more than Spec’s but it was still only a few times a year.  I recall Spec’s on Fountainview had SR during its grand opening but I haven’t seen it since until last week.  I haven’t seen SR at Spec’s downtown in years.  I’m wondering if something is going on with the supply.

Friends in West and Southwest Houston say they only get SR once a month. They can usually sit on a location, but the day/time of month isn’t consistent. It sounds crazy, but I’ll buy it from the Katy Bourbon Mafia posts. 

Yeah I don’t have much time to make stops but SR is not easy for me to find. I might find it 10% of the time I look.
I’d buy the 1.75 by the case if I could.

A friend scouted the Twin Liquor in Sugarland today. They had the Dollar Day prices marked. Makers 46 Cask Strength for $7 off at $46.75 is not going to get me to take off work. I’m sure there are some great deals on wine, but I rarely drink anything nice. 
 

I’m probably passing.

I’ve been looking for the RR13 and missed my chance on a goody goody bundle. The fact that I got third and the raffle still has a bottle remaining….I’m so excite!!

Yeah RR13 is a very easy choice from that list. 

I just picked up a bottle of Blood Oath Pact 8 tonight.  I've never tried it, but heard good things.  Will report once I've cracked it.

Killing a Full Proof while watching USC (we’re back) halfass beat San Jose State.  It was very good from start to finish and I’ll probably open either a Deb’s or Whiskey Cake pick next.  This one is a staple I love having around.

One of my favorites. Broke it out since the Rangers snapped their losing streak streak.
Very polarizing though.
You either love this or hate it.

You’re missing one. Still, she’s got to notice that chunk of change missing from the bank account. I’d of done it too.

got a story there?

Got a lead on a bottle of GTS2020 and once I was roped in, I walked away with 3 more. And now I won't sleep until I have a Saz to finish the job. 

Managed to snag a bottle of Hancock's Reserve yesterday at TW with $35 knocked off the price (which admittedly was over MSRP as it was) because of a snafu relating to some wine I had ordered.  Looking forward to trying it.

Anyone sample the Daniel Weller yet?

No but there’s a dickhead in our area selling one and asking for references even though he’s not shipping.
wtf?
I’m sorry, my money ain’t good enough for you?
Eat a dick.

What’s the boards opinion of smoke wagon u/u nowadays?

Smokewagon isn't bad, but it's wildly overrated and moderately overpriced

It is now. My easy uu bottles with no or early stamps are quite good.

It’s overrated and overpriced young MGP.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I strongly disagree.

You can do better Fud. I believe you’re in Houston. Makers 46 Cask Strength, New Riff SiB, and Rebecca Creek Spanish Oak are everywhere and under $60.

I had some the other day.  Fair is a good way to describe it.

Anyone else hit on the OFBB Sweepstakes?

Got my hands on one. For 130 proof it’s damn fine. Always good recommendations here. I love you sunsabitches!!!

I'm looking for a good bulk purchase selection to get me through the season. Something in the $30-50 range

Tom Moore BiB handles are about $20. It’s pretty good. 

Handles of Evan Williams BiB.

I have a pre-batch open and it’s just not old enough to get the tobacco and leather notes I like in MGP.  Also have a spare if you want it.

Thank you for the offer. I have plenty

~$85 for both.

Ok I knew I overpaid but not by much.  Weller was $43.99 so really took a bath on ER10.
