  1. Try 3-5 years for me in DFW.

    Damn son. Get to know your bourbon guy at Specs or GG. I’ve bought 6+ bottles in the last year. Even just walking into TW at the right time, I’ve scored 2-3 in the last 6 months.
  2. I’m In Tulsa this week for work and found a Liter and a Handle of OWA. Got the handle for thestud and the liter for myself.
    Very nice not paying a markup for it.

  3. Depends how long. Philly is fine for a few days. Delaware, on the other hand, would only be a good idea if you’re looking to piss off your wife. I spent two days there once that seemed like 3 weeks.
     

  4. Anyone have an opinion on Willett pot still reserve? Saw a couple 1.5 bottles on the counter and grabbed one, but as I was walking to checkout saw an ECBP sitting on the allocation counter but kept walking since my 4 yo was not having anymore of looking at bourbon and beer. Did I make a horrible mistake? 

    Yes. Unfortunately you did. Pot still is very disappointing and the ECBP is outstanding.

  5. Some good advice in the thread. I’m 6’3” so not a small guy. Hands are L-XL. I am currently carry a VP9SK with extended grips and the larger blackstrap. Love it. Just shot a buddy’s and now (30 mins ago) ordered my own M&P 45 shield 2.0. Love it. Fits me perfectly and just as comfortable as the VP9SK but with 45 extra oomph. 
    Still waiting on my Sig P365 pre order from January. We shall see. 

    My everyday Carry is the 45 Shield. Great fucking gun. Accurate as hell.

    I refuse to buy in the secondary market. It’s the downfall of society.

    This.  It's just not worth it to me to overpay for bottles like Pappy or other unicorns when there is such a large variety out there that tastes great and can be bought for a fraction of what is asked on the secondary market.  I personally haven't tasted any of the Pappy's, but love the shit out of Poor Man's Pappy and just plain W12 by itself.

    Question for the ones that have had Pappy, is it that much better?

  7. I went ahead and picked up the rhetoric 23.
    Haven’t decided if I’m gonna drink it or do a trade for a couple of other bottles down the road.
    Doing everything I can to keep me first and foremost in the mind of the manager at Goody Goody. Got a birthday bourbon from him last year and tonight he told me I’d be pretty much guaranteed one this year and something from this years BTAC collection.
    It’s all about building a relationship with someone. Can’t ever stress that enough.

    The last couple times I’ve been to Twisted Root I’ve been a little disappointed. Doesn’t matter how many toppings ya got if the patty is dry and flavorless. Jakes is still good but only the OG down in lake highlands. The one in Frisco sucks. Village Burger bar is consistently above average and we keep it in the rotation. A new discovery that was dam good is the Dirty Burger Bar in the Colony by Austin Ranch. Will return. Admittedly haven’t tried LA Burger or Liberty Burger yet.

    Good to hear.  The seafood place next to Dirty Burger is solid.  Lot of hot female ass around there too.

  9. My wife has finally seen the light and is fully onboard with getting her LTC.  I had previously gotten her the 9mm shield in hopes she would eventually want to carry but she has trouble with the slide.  We looked at several other options and decided on the Shield 380 EZ.  What are some good holster options for women?  She's looked at the few that I have and doesn't like them.  I've got the Alien Gear that I use daily and a couple of other kydex ones.  She thinks those are too bulky.   Help!!

  10. Is the Batch proof worth the price tag?

    I like it a lot. I haven’t fully decided if it was worth the $$ yet, there are cheaper ones that I like more ( OF 1920, 1792 FP, Blanton’s,etc).
    But I’m not upset at spending the money on it.
    It’s a solid pour.

  11. Started tonight with a glass of Blood Oath and now on a glass of 1792 FP. 1792 is hands down the better of the 2. It’s fast becoming one of my faves. About halfway through a Total Wine store pick, once that one is done, I’ll move on to a Goody Goody pick and compare the 2.

  12. Anyone else not a fan of Stagg jr? There’s about 40 cheaper bourbons that I like significantly more. 

    The one bottle I bought I didn’t like, traded it.
    I absolutely love higher proof stuff but the stagg was just too much heat. Overpowered everything else about it for me.
  13. Opened the Michter’s 10 tonight. God damn good bourbon.
    The hint of licorice surprised me though. I normally don’t like it, but I do like hint of it you get in a Sazarac. The first sip of Michter’s was reminiscent of that. One of the smoothest bourbons I’ve had in awhile. I just wish the finish was a bit longer. But I’m really really glad I got a bottle. Going to savor this one for awhile.
