  • 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,

    Having a pour of my favorite in honor of my girl. Hanna gave me 16 great years. RIP girl. Hope you finally got that fucking squirrel.

I'm not Herbie but I definitely agree. Never understood the hype.

I was talking about MWND releases with Barton rye.

I’ll agree they’ve fallen off dramatically ever year since. Pretty dramatic decline after the Constellation buy out.

Whatever, I still have 3 open that I drink while wrapping presents on xmas eve and if that's wrong I dont want to be right.

It’s overrated as all get out. Is it swill? Absolutely not. Is it worth more than $50? Absolutely not.

Bought two out here. 150 or so a pop. Still a good rye. Goddammit I overpaid but one goes to the boss who will enjoy the price I paid.

MWND most overrated shit out there IMO.
Herbie will agree.

The old releases were delicious, come on.

I refuse to pay more than MSRP for any whiskey, and there's almost no reason to pay more than $50 for anything.

For the most part I would agree, but I paid $58 each for Rebecca Creek Spanish oak and felt it was a steal at that price. I’m about to the point where I’m going to pay secondary to get my mitts on some OWA if it doesn’t show up soon in my hood.

It’s not that much over retail.
$100 vs $60
Almost a no brainer to not have to fuck hunting it down.

I’m trying to remember the last High West product I really liked. I felt like shit asking a friend to  mule me a Prisoner back from Utah. We cracked it when he got back and it was disappointing. It did open up towards the end, landing somewhere near fine for me. Not worth the money. Interesting bottle if it was under $80.

Their cask strength bourbon is good-ish, but too much money. 
 

Bourye was terrific when they still sold it in Texas.

whatever happened to black maple hill.  10 years or so ago i had a bottle and thought it was excellent.  then i heard they changed their sourcing and it went downhill.  now i never see it or hear anyone talking about it whatsoever.

You mean robitussin mixed with Vick’s vaporub doesn’t taste good??

Anyone had/heard anything about the parkers 14yr single malt?

Guy a row ahead of me flying with a teenage boy, presumably his son or perhaps towel boy:

“Only drink single malt Scotch or single barrel bourbon. That’s the good stuff.”

I am so thankful these people exist and that the liquor industry produces products to separate them from their money, so that bottlers and distillers can afford to produce an abundance of excellent and widely available products for the rest of us.

Bought one today. I really want to try it at a bar before I open it. Feels like a love or hate it release.

This might be better than I remember it being. Things could get interesting in a blind with Old Fitz 8. As always, I wish I bought 2.

I've still never seen this on a store shelf, but I've looked for it when I'm out there.  I do love the Distiller's Collection version of it that Spec's usually has.

You look like a Bourbon Junkies fan.  How's their Evernorth products?

It’s great! Great bang for your buck (most bottles are anywhere from $60-80) and they’re really starting to put out some interesting stuff. They’re doing a lot of blending with 6-8 year juice from MGP and Sagamore. 

I’ve been a Patron of theirs for several years so I get access to their releases.

Sounds like we are on the same schedule.

I’ll call around this weekend. Hoping to hit on a Whiskey Cake location. Thank goodness hostesses are very knowledgeable of their menu. I fully expect to be on hold for 45 minutes per location. 

Got my ec18 coming next week. Flying that, Parker’s and of birthday on the same flight. Might get insurance. 

The Weller 12 was a floor drop at Uno Mas. I was luckily about 10 minutes away. That’s the most W12 I’ve seen in 1 place since the Spec’s after Christmas drop.

Assume that was yesterday and its all gone?

Been seeing Weller & Buffalo Trace all over lately.  Must've increased production finally.

Isn't that below MSRP for W12?  

Slightly? Maybe I paid $45ish the last time.

Craig 18 is so great. 

Another tough one to get a bead, but it’s good. Heaven Hill Rye Grain to Glass. Nice spice on it for a higher rye mashbill. I get bored as shit with the barely legal eyes, so I’m a fan thus far. 

Had some dusty RY10 from the back of the shelf tonight… as noted up thread, it still fucks

Those are starting to show up more regularly on the shelf. I’ve seen several on shelves at TW and Spec’s the last times I’ve been over the last few weeks.

A very welcome sight. 

All IronRoot tonight.
They are celebrating 10 yrs in business and they just keep getting better.
It’s nice to have them in the area.
Awesome people and great whiskey

They're legit. I've been there. In the Georgetown area of DC. They also run the website SharedPour. Some barrel groups like r/bourbon use them to ship. Have a lot of rare bottles but most are secondary prices or higher. 

 

ETA: I've purchased from them before and had no issues. I just picked up at the store though so don't know how reliable their shipping operation is.

Know all the founders personally or have done much business as a seller to them (so their stuff from me is legit). But not cheap. They provide a service for those that have means and lack access.

STFB jump in my cart. 

FINALLY found this in the wild… different than any OF pour I’ve ever had. Nose is super dusty and relatively spice forward…. Not a hint of banana on the palette, rather a well rounded caramel and vanilla. Finishes with the mildest bite and a touch of char.

Beautiful!
