I received wife approval tonight. It might be on. Just gotta present a strong case for February.
The last weekend of Feb is Bourbon Classic. Seems to get bigger every year.
Anyone here ever been?

I’m still capable of finding ER10 out the door for under $30 on a regular basis. Haven’t ever seen EC for cheaper than $39 but it’s usually higher.
I’m the grump everywhere. The bar is probably the least grumpy you’ll find me because if I’m at the bar that means I’m sans kids and/or wife.
Regarding the EC and ER pricing: just goes to show the vagaries of different regions and their pricing based on availability, etc.
This crazy market of brown liquor. So odd.

It’s funny you say that, because the 3 bottles I have the most of in my bunker are ER10, Blanton’s, and OWA and I love them all dearly. But he was asking for whiskeys at a certain price point and EC ain’t in that ballpark.Where I am, EC is most definitely in that price point. ER10, on the other hand, is not. I thought all your other pics were spot-on.
I’m a BT fanboy as well. Not because of any loyalty, but only because I found that’s where my taste-buds led me most of the time once I started paying attention to producers, mash-bills, etc.
Weller Special Reserve remains a personal favorite, and it has been since 1991. Not always readily available, but cheap when I do find it. I do love having Larceny around as a back-up.
Other daily drinkers for me are Buffalo Trace and Evan Williams Single Barrel.
I could probably be happy as hell to subsist on those 3-4 mentioned labels for the rest of time. My only variance being the accidental stumbling-upon a rare bottle “in the wild”.
Was interested to hear what you like to drink based on your comment, but you’re probably the grump at the bar that everyone avoids.
Cheers, though!

Buffalo trace, ER10, early times, old charter 8, OGD 114, HM10. Do you need more or will those suffice?
Unbunch your panties. Just wanted to know what your preferences were. Sheesh.

First time at Prohibition in Spring, TX. Incredibly reasonable place to sample and swill the ever-revolving menu of brown liquor. Shayla is cute as hell and actually gives a shit about the drinks she is slinging.
Sorry...no pics. But...her Sazerac was quite lovely. The drink was good, too...

Celebrate the launch of this renowned bourbon, with an elevated six-course tasting menu and beverage pairing in The Hideaway Room, the private dining room of the restaurant Draco.

Go to Toronto? Eat hotel food? And listen to a liquor rep talk about Pappy? That sounds fuckin’ terrible.....

The tone seems one of manic inebriation. Quite strange, but excusable. I’ll allow it.

Used to spend a week there every Spring for about 10 years. Last trip was Spring 2007. Haven't been back since. Gonna be there for a week the last week of October. Looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see if my old faves are still around.

BTW when I think of generic, this what comes to mind.. Yea HEB back in the 80's had a whole section of the white and black label stuff including beer with cans that just said beer on them. LOL that was before my alcohol consumption days so never tried , but I recall seeing them.
Pearl supposedly did the generic beer for HEB back in the day.

It’s my favorite thing on that list.I dunno. WLW trumps the 12 by a mile to these taste buds. Both still exceptional, however
W12 USED to be in my daily drinker category. Walk in to a store. Gonna buy some Weller. 12 is sitting there next to the WSR and the Antique. Gee...do I spend the extra $10 today?
Those were my quandaries. Those were the days, right? And it wasn’t really THAT fucking long ago. Still bitter about it.

F if I know. It was just what I read in the text.
She's - quite literally - the most useless person I've ever met. We've been out of town on vacation. Just got back and went over to mow her lawn. I guess, at some point, the grass got high, so she mowed a total of 2 rows of her back yard and gave up. This, btw, comes from a 35 year-old pharamacist that works from home and has no children.
Mowing her lawn, huh?

The last family trip I took was for my mom’s 80th birthday. She rented this humongous beach house and ordered everyone to come for the week. Her 4 kids and their spouses, her 12 grandkids and the spouses of the 4 that were married, and her 7 great grandkids. We actually had a good time even though the trip included three trips to the emergency room. Now she’s talking about doing it again next year for her 90th. This time it would be 4 kids with 3 spouses, 12 grandkids with 6 spouses, and 9 great grandkids.
Shoot for 7 ER trips this time, just to keep things lively.

Speaking of Buffalo Trace I’ve got an extra RHF, ETL, Blantons, WIlliam Larue Weller, and an extra W12 1.75L right now. I’m not interested in selling at the moment but would consider a barter either by the bottle or the lot. Currently looking for OFBB, Old Fitzgerald, and at the lower end 1910 because it is scarce lately (but by itself wouldn’t be enough).
Adding because o know this thread gets read: I don’t flip. I just bought more than I can drink soon. if I don’t recognize your handle I’m not interested, so don’t join surly and DM me.
Why not keep them and drink them? Seeing as how you went to the trouble (or got lucky enough) to acquire them?

I've decided that Weller 12 is nothing but a fucking racket. Turns out there were only 4 bottles. There was a list of other things, and no doubt they were good and hard to find. But I'm not a collector like lots of folks so didn't really care about anything else.
Sounds like a frustrating shitshow.
Like you, I drink what I buy, and I don’t chase unicorns or pay secondary+ pricing. If I find a bottle of (what I consider) a higher-end rare product, I will snatch it up and enjoy the hell out of it. Otherwise, I am happy rotating thru my normal 3 daily drinkers as I find them.
It had been bemoaned so many times in this thread, but...this market is just completely out if hand.
I say this as I just got off the phone with BIL who has been hunting Elmer lately. Must be on his list, and I found an $80 bottle in the wild. He paid $200 for his last one.
Yep...he’s a Tater.

The flagship products of Buffalo Trace right are Old Hype and Manufactured Scarcity Special Reserve.
So freakin’ true.
The sketchiest/dumpiest bar you've ever been to.

Was just there at the current Hoot County for the first time 5 nights ago at the recommendation of my BIL. Walked over from the Sheraton across the street.
Fun place. Really varied crowd at midnight, but they all totally meshed. Had a blast. If I had only known to inquire about the Nipple Beer, dammit.
