  1. I'd bet good money it's a teaser release.
  2. Lux Row bottles have been hitting a lot of Total Wines in Houston this week. If you like Old Ezra 7 or Rebel Yell 10 year Single Barrel, you very well might find one this week at Total Wine. I doubt availability will last. I got super lucky and picked up a Blood Oath Pact 7 (also Lux Row) at TW earlier today.
  3. The Hatch Chile Willy vibrators come out in August I believe.
  4. Yeah, I think we'd even want to go inside the house before him to confirm they are properly secured in a safe. We have no patience for this shit, but prefer to handle it in a respectful manner if possible.
  5. Question for y'all and would appreciate any advice. Quick background: My Trumper mother-in-law has purchased a couple of handguns recently. She's been going to the shooting range with one of her good friends. She's 69 years old and not in the best physical/mental shape for her age. She occasionally takes our 4 year old son during the week to hang out at her house for a few hours. My wife and I hate guns. We don't own them, we don't want to be around them, we don't want our son around them. What's the best way to approach her saying that we are concerned about guns in her house when our son visits? Our initial thoughts have been that they need to be secured in a safe before he even enters the home.
  6. Still hot at 115 proof? Bummer. My bottle is at 122. Need to dip into it again, but I haven't liked the first few pours.
  7. I'm hoping some other Spec's locations get a case and I can snag one.
  8. I'll occasionally go in there and give the owner shit for some of his prices. I think he had a bottle of Rittenhouse for like $79.
  9. Apparently no one was shot, but a least people got to run for their lives on Memorial Day at the mall. Love these new American traditions!
  10. I got this bottle today. Spec's dude offered up that they had one left in the back and he'd get it for me. I have no pull there, but shooting the shit and always being friendly eventually pays off.
  11. Yes. If you like rye, this stuff is good.
  12. Recommend the Stellum Rye for $55ish. 116 proof. Pretty fucking delicious. Fairly easy to find right now at Total Wine. The Stellum bourbon is supposed to be good as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I just opened the Elijah Craig Rye. I like it, especially at $28. But's it's noticeably sweeter than most ryes. It feels like it's catered more to bourbon drinkers than rye fans.I agree that it's better than Rittenhouse but not as good as Pikesville. I'm guessing it's a similar 51% rye mashbill.
  14. I haven't opened it yet. My expectations aren't high. Let us know!
  15. Yeah, the EC Rye has officially dropped in Texas. Spec's has it and I saw at Goody Goody today as well.
  16. I think they might. Worth calling the store...I'm sure they'll hold one for you.
  17. "Look, Don Jr., they're called the 'Secret Service' for a reason, okay? 'Secret' means they are very discrete. 'Service' means they'll service the family. The one rule is they can't touch my beautiful Ivanka. But your wife, my wife, your brother's wife, Tiffany, Jared...I don't give a shit. As long as these guys are in shape and aren't, like, little teeny tiny people...let them fuck away."
  18. They knew about this dipshit almost 500 years ago
  19. Just because my collection is already out of control, I've put self-imposed limits on what I'll buy. Outside of a couple of Whitmeyer's bottles, I don't own any Texas bourbon. And I'll continue to pass on all Barrell.
  20. We're on pace for the majority of Americans having been affected by gun violence in some way in the next 50 years or so.
  21. Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day, the American way. https://abc7.com/colorado-birthday-party-shooting-7-dead-springs-today/10604022/ COLORADO SPRINGS -- Seven people are dead, including a gunman, after a shooting at a birthday party where friends, family and children gathered to celebrate early Sunday morning.Authorities responded to a call about a shooting in a trailer at the Canterbury Mobile Home Park in Colorado Springs at approximately 12:20 a.m. Police said they believe the gunman was the boyfriend of one of the female victims. He shot six people before taking his own life, police said.By the time officers arrived, six people were dead and one was severely injured. That victim later died in the hospital.The children at the party were not injured and are now in the care of relatives. "From the officers who responded to the shooting to the investigators still on scene, we are all left incredibly shaken. This is something you hope never happens in your own community, in the place that you call home," Colorado Springs Police Chief Vince Niski said in a statement.Officials have not released the names of the victims nor the shooter. A motive has yet to be determined, and an investigation is ongoing.
