  1. Possible Unpopular opinion alert.

    Bottles that have languished on my bar because I just don’t dig em:

    Russel’s Reserve 10 Year
    Legent
    Maker’s Mark Private Select
    Four Roses Small Batch Select
    Pure Kentucky Small Batch

    I don’t think you’ll get any flak for that.

    RR10 is just not good in my opinion. SiB owns it and it’s not even close.

    Legent is a unique profile. I dig it but I know plenty who don’t and won’t hold it against anyone because like I said it’s a very different taste.

    Never been a fan of Makers


    4R SBS is a solid bottle. Wish it were about $10 cheaper but it’s a bottle I feel extremely confident in recommending to others

    Pure Kentucky mixes great with Drano.....
  2. I had two 2018 130th.....that was the best I had ever had and I’m now kicking myself for not having set some aside for comparison because like Bert said, several people I know said 2019>2018. Damn my lack of self control

  3. While I can complain about the relative shortage of Weller, ETL and others in SoCal, one thing that is plentiful here is ER10.  This is a pretty common sight at my local place.

    Grab that Larceny barrel proof as well. Tasty stuff. Not a fan of their small batch offering but the BP is tits

  4. Don’t forget those 2 KC Goody picks we stumbled upon a couple of years ago.
    God those were amazing

    Still have the one hidden in the very back of the closet so I don’t do something stupid like drink half of it in one night......again
  5. I had a superb Total Wine pick before. I wonder if it was the same barrel? I bought at the TW Galleria location last year. 

    This one was two years ago and exclusive to the Hulen store I believe because they had the barrel on display. It was heavily ripe with very dark chocolate and a slight hint of leather. If I ever find another I’ll trade my son for it.
  6. After watching Spencer Rattler today, Bowman may be the best QB we see this year and the game was in Lubbock.  Purdy and that new TCU QB suck.  Is Brewer healthy?  We have a lot to fix on D but gottdam,  I am happy.  

    You’re happy because you’re a retard that just found a crayon between the couch cushions to snack on. We just went to OT with the team that barely beat Houston fucking Baptist by two goddamned points. HOUSTON FUCKING BAPTIST. Fuck Herman and fuck you.

  7. What are we celebrating? That we had to scrape out a win by a red cunt hair against the same team that barely beat Houston Baptist by two???? If I had any Garrison Brothers I would punish my liver with that because it would be appropriate given today’s game, but I don’t possess that nastiness so 4R single barrel will have to do.

  8. I don’t know what area you live in where BT sits on the shelf but it’s not in Texas. I can make five different stops in a day and I’m lucky if one has BT.

    Slorch, go back and buy more. Immediately.

  9. Haven’t had that one, but have been curious how it is.

    This one on on the other hand is straight turpentine. Kinda figured it would be with how little I paid for it.

    The Texas Wheated and True Blue Cask Strength are my two favorite Balcones expressions. I’ll be honest I’m a Balcones fanboy but the second I saw that Pot Still release I told myself no way that’s anything I want a part of. Had it at their tasting room on my way home from the hunting at the farm last year and my suspicions were confirmed.

    For as good as the Balcones boys can be, they’re very hit or miss. Put the Pot Still in the “miss” category along with Baby Blue.

    I’ve avoided this one like the plague as it’s my last bottle. Now I remember why. Good lord this is a vanilla bomb and dangerously smooth for 122 proof. If you can make the distillery this year for the release I highly encourage you to do so

  11. Heads up, I just got two of these at Premier Fine Wine and Liquor on w. 18th in Houston. 4 bottles left right now. $55.99 each eeab18ad4bb3735b3f852d785113b233.jpg

    These hit about 3 months ago in DFW and were snatched up in about two days. Very good stuff. I know myself and BigD scored a couple and were both very pleased with the taste

  12. 6 months ago I would have said no to $70, but now that the new msrp is $49 it’s a lot easier to justify in my mind. I miss the days of finding it everywhere for $29.99. Maybe Cuban rum will be the new bourbon craze
