  • 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 this up last night. 9 year, $90 and got some good reviews.

I thought those were 11year aged???

I got a couple of the Liquor Hut NCF picks earlier this year and finally opened one. It is incredible, like a better version of ORVW. 

Weird.  At another store I got store pick Buffalo Trace.  It was delicious, one of my favorite bottles.  Considering the OWA store pick hype I find it odd that mine wasn't great.  Must have been a shitty pick by the store owner.  They are in a suburban strip mall so wouldn't surprise me if they just chose whatever to get the sticker put on it.

Thoughts on Redemption Rye? I got a bottle today in an office white elephant party and sipping on it now. 

I like Manhattans quite a lot but there aren’t many ryes that I like sipping. This isn’t one of the few. I think it will be serviceable in cocktails. Reviews vary. 

#3409

Isn’t it just an MGP rye? Or did they switch to their own distillate? I have heard the barrel proof isn’t bad.

#3410

1910 again tonight. Jackie Zykan talked me into it. 

I scored a bottle of Midwinter's Night Dram today while begging for Thomas Handy. I can probably get another bottle next week. Might as well at $76 a bottle. 

The plan right now is Midwinter next weekend, Pappy 12 on Christmas Eve/Day, and Mitchers 10 during the Sugar Bowl.

Sazerac rye and bulleit rye are daily sippers for me... before you get to the KO and Michters Barrel Strength upper echelon

I love me a sazerac rye too

What act and scene? I don’t even know what they mean technically, but I love MWND enough that a 2019 goal is to figure out the palate belt act and scene. I’ve got 7 or 8 varieties at home and plan to try new ones when I find them at bars.

Act 6, Scene 1. I want another bottle because Handy/Sazerac 18/Van Winkle Rye aren't walking through the door any time soon. 

Bourbon House in New Orleans is releasing every Pappy and BTAC over a 9 day period before Christmas. Awesome idea, but I'm sure it'll be at least $30 a pour.

I’m still trying to find a MWND in Austin. I know I can get one at $120 secondary but I don’t want to go that route yet.

I have a bottle of the 11 year. But they also did a 9 year version. 


2017 was 11 year and a green label and 2018 is 9 year and black label. The 11 year is good, but I’m not sure it’s $110 good. Reviews say this year’s is worth the $90.

I got mine last week at the Mueller Total Wine, of all places.

Finally found one


I can’t find it locally. So I usually resort to the secondary market to buy. What did you pay retail?

$109

It was marked up, but I didn’t care. I just left Specs empty handed where the whiskey guy was less than friendly. Oh, which reminds me...Fuck Specs

Team Goody Goody.    They seem to care about customer service unlike Spec's.

It’s a better idea to get me my first. You’ve already got the dress rehearsal and the prime show. Let me have the encore damn you.

It’s beautiful , gotta pick up some cokes to mix it with .

Paid 140, kinda surprised big store like goody goody would markup over msrp

My homie got a bottle in Dallas, but he paid about 5x what you did. Is it worth pappy 12 money?

I also paid $140 for it. I’ve always thought there wasn’t anything out there that I’d be willing to pay over $200 for, but honestly I’d pay secondary prices for this bottle.
IMO, this is the best bourbon I’ve ever had.
And it’s not even close. I haven’t had Pappy but the people I know that have say Pappy is great and all but overrated and not nearly worth what you have to pay for it.

The proofers and the wheaters  seem to like William Larue Weller more than Pappy. 

It seems like there’s more WLW out there this year than Stagg and Handy. The BTAC barrel numbers for 2018 would be an interesting read.

#3446

Pappy is excellent, but not worth the extra price.

Then again I haven't had 23 since 2012.

I'm not a proofer, but my general ranking of that mashbill is

WLW

PVW15

PVW20

Old Rip

Weller 12

PVW23

Antique

OG Weller

Garbage Buffalo Trace White Dog

I would agree 100% other than I would swap PVW 15 and WLW for the first slot.  It for me more like 1A and 1B. It’s close.
