  • 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,

Picked up a EHT SiB and a Blanton’s today at GG. Pretty good little saturday

Bottle of Elmer T Lee at the local grocery store here in Santa Rosa for only $149.  I’m gonna hard pass there. 

Stumbled onto a Weller Antique in Fredericksburg this morning. 1L for $36.

I stumbled back into the Pikesville, it is such a solid pour.

I realize this in not the appropriate thread but according to my Instagram......

I get there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of great Bourbons out there right now, but when I can get 750ml of trace for 26 bucks, it's hard to chase the unicorns. 

My total wine has 3 cases of BT for $19/bottle
 

And yet it’s still limit 1.

Yep

 

That bottle has been sitting there for 6 months, they usually have a bottle of blanton on the shelf and if they dont give it a few days or you can drive over to Pohleys market in Windsor. They have an excellent selection though last time I was there his prices were starting to creep up. Never found blantons at bevmo or bottle barn, though bottle barn usually has plenty of ER10 for $25 a bottle.

 

Was up in Redding a few weeks ago and stumbled into this

I picked up a couple of Bounty Hunter's Four Roses OESV last month. Highly recommended and I think they serve it at the bar if you'd like a sample first. 

Tip Top liquor on Dry Creek Rd had a shit load of hard to find bottles for about 8 jillion dollars each a couple months ago. I wanted to ask them why they hate America but they look very Arab so I didn't. No racist.

Well boys I might have to change up my lineup for the season. I came into some bourbon last night.

Excellent haul, two bottles of Rebel Yell 10 and one bottle of EH Taylor Single Barrel. 

I’ve good success decanting Stagg Jr for a month. I highly recommend it. Smoothes it out quite a bit to the point you don’t have to add a drop of water or an ice cube. 

Poor Man’s Pappy this weekend, vatted and decanted for about 7 and half weeks. 

 

 

That is an interesting notion. I’ve never liked Stagg Jr and I love Stagg. To me, Stagg Jr tastes like somebody soaked raisins in drag fuel- heat and sour sweet with no spice.

 

Does the decanting improve it?

If you have a bottle laying around and a decanter, I’d give it a shot. 

Kentucky Owl Rye Batch 1 at roughly $200 due to WA state taxes......worth it?

I’d think about it. Batch 1 is good juice and it’s not coming back. 

RE: Poor Man’s Pappy, it takes some getting used to. It’s not Pappy obviously, not  bad, just different. 

I probably like Antique better, but it’s a good way to put some Weller 12 handles to work. Its worth if you have a lot of both.

It’s good, but I wouldn’t pay that for it when I could get a Willet 4 yr plus an EH Taylor straight rye and high west rendezvous combo for the same price.  

Well, in the state of WA everything just costs more. A bottle with a $30 MSRP ends up costing $40 once you add on the taxes.

 

The shelf price for the KO before those taxes was $160.

 

I ended up passing but was definitely tempted.

 

I will swap out a Weller Antique for a W12, just not a fan of the antique.

I will trade you some Weller 12 for some Four Grain 

That’s a deal.

PM me your address and I willl send the Antique and you can return a 12.

It was a joke. I’m guessing you don’t have or know what Four Grain is 

 

 

My bad, do not know about 4 grain.

It’s all good man. I do have some Weller 12, but since it’s my favorite bourbon, I cannot part with it. 

Speaking of, someone’s wife was going to spend $500 on you for Xmas. What bourbon would ask for? 

Yeah W12 is my favorite too, prefer it to Blanton’s.  I recently lucked into the Blantons euro collection and am looking forward to trying them out.

Have a good friend that travels through Amsterdam pretty often and he can usually find it there.

George T Stagg.  

Would love to have a bottle of Pappy 15.

Was in a small town liquor store last week and he had one of the Weller C.Y.P.B. That wold be cool to get as well.

Yeah I know, was offered a bottle for $1500.00 and just laughed. I have a bottle of the 12YO Lot B that I gave less than $100 for, know a guy that paid $900 for his. I’m ready for the tequila craze to hit.

How much for CYPB?

Seems like he wanted $400 ish. I think he is going to raffle it off though.

The 2017 Handy was better in my opinion. 

I'd go with William Larue Weller if you're willing to spend $500. 

Well I FINALLY found Rebell Yell 10 in the wild. Elmer is next on the list, but it probably won't be in Houston. 

I believe none of the Houston chains even sell Elmer to retail customers. 

Any insight on these?88a490111014355083d1e29f47651f5f.jpg

My insight is that most bourbon peaks in the barrel at 6-8 years and both of those were probably better at that point too. Certainly they were cheaper.

Anybody tried this shit? I wasn’t particularly impressed. Just didn’t have anything that stoop out to me. And I love Weller. I guess I was just expecting more out of it. Feel like the abv was too low and there wasn’t enough heat.

How much you get it for? Still trying to get one

I have a bottle of the Rhetoric 24YO that I haven’t opened yet. Not sure why I bought it, dude told me it was great and very hard to come by, dumb ass me!

Open it
Try it
Let me know how it is

The 24 yr is good. Just doesn't have the octane some prefer. If you can get it for reasonable price. It sometimes gets a bad rap on this thread. The 22 and 23 yr is crap.

My buddy works at twin liquors. They got six bottles and he brought one over to watch the mma fights. He said they sold for $40 a bottle. But basically the stores only get a handful of bottles.
