  1. Ugg wtfffff…

    This is just… bad. Heavy ethanol notes and zero character.

    Between her departure from BF, them basically not skipping a beat, and this being her second note… you have to wonder if the Zykan hype was misapplied. Good source juice is likely the difference, but regardless the results here are decidedly lackluster.

    Yeah bummer man, extra tough when it's a hard to get bottle

    What did you take away from your tasting?

    That is a different batch upon closer examination. I had the 1st I think and it was just fairly mediocre. It's been quite a while and I'm not great at tasting notes anyway. Fwiw hidden barn sits on shelves at msrp where I live.

    Facebook.
    Someone Say Whiskey is a national FB group so when we do a barrel pick, we offer a percentage of the bottles to members that aren't local to DFW and will ship them. Not to brag or anything, but we've released some pretty damn good bottles.  Herbie can testify.  Our 2 JDBP picks were fucking incredible.  
    If anyone wants in the group, just message me with your name on Facebook and I can let you in.

    just curious, where did you get the bottle?  I thought that one was sold out.

    Circling back here, you guys ship many bottles from picks? My go to store sold out to liquor barn a year or 2 ago and my go to fb group with picks got shut down by Zuckerberg 6 months ago. I'm just looking for some damn drinkers every now and then since any pick worth a damn where I'm at is sold out in 30 min at stores.

  4. That’s where I’ve been for the last 6-8 months. I sold north of $15k worth on the secondary market and I haven’t gone looking for anything in as long if not longer. I’ll wander down the bourbon aisle occasionally, but I’ve bought almost exclusively club picks and tequila since the start of the year. Maybe in a couple years it will come back down, but I don’t give it a second thought anymore.

    This is where i am as well, but for closer to a year or year and a half. Didn't sell any stash though so I'm just drinking through that and enjoying not trying to run around and deal with the crap.

  5. I'm less than gruntled hearing in here over the last few years that makers picks are in the 50s...that shit in Kentucky is in the 80s for the last 4+ years. Otherwise that would be an easy go to

  6. People bitch about price and it killing off HH6, but HH6 was never available in Texas. I can’t miss what I’ve never had. It’s a good bourbon, and I’ll gladly pay 50 bucks for it. 

    Ill have you know I continue to bitch about hh6 while yelling at the clouds kind sir
  7. Do they still have barrel pick bottles at the Four Roses gift shop?

    If they have them they usually drop on Thursday or Friday and are gone within a day. If it's a tier 6 or "rare" recipe, they sell out even faster.
  8. so here's a random question - is there anything fun or interesting that can be done with my empties?
    after i finished an elmer last year, the wife liked the bottle so she put some pampas in it and put it on the patio.  since then, she has encouraged me to not throw away empties of some of the cooler looking bottles, so that she can do more diy shit or whatever, who knows.
    she likes to procrastinate and i like to finish bottles and now i'm starting to look like a dirtbag alcoholic because i got 12-15 empty bourbon bottles in the corner of the room, and more on the way.
    i've seen a glass cutter that turns empty wine bottles into cool glasses, but not sure if this would work the same way.  pretty soon i'm gonna have to throw them out one by one like andy in the yard at shawshank so that my neighbors don't see.  they're judgy and love to gossip.

    People make candles, glasses, lamps, and all kinds of shit with bottles. Some of it is pretty cool

    Interesting…

    I haven’t had a bad bottle of NULU, and the picks are all outstanding… wasn’t aware this got wide distro elsewhere. It’s the only one I’ve seen locally, but hey I suppose we’ll see.

    Not at all my man! Nulu puts out good picks, let us know how it is.

  10. What am I looking at here? Spec’s down here can’t give this stuff away. 

    Was going to chime in...this is on every shelf in nky. Decent but probably not worth what they charge
  11. Was at my local shop and they had Kentucky Owl behind the counter, limit 1. It was $110.00. I love bourbon, but not enough to pay that much for one bottle. I know that's blasphemy to many here, but I'm not a Surly 1%er and couldn't bring myself to do it. 

    It was Confiscated I imagine and you probably made the right choice
  12. Well it’s been a little slow but it picked up today for sure.  Rumor is this Stagg Jr 17 will be the last with Jr on the label.  Not sure if there is any truth to it.

    It's true, the store picks rolling out now have already dropped the Jr. Going for stupid amounts of money on secondary too

  13. Going next week. What's the name of the place? 

    I forget the name, mac probably knows. It's incredibly obvious just by walking by though since the bar is very visible with all the good stuff
  14. On the plus side of my shitastic Disney World trip, there's a Bourbon Bar in Disney Springs with some good stuff by the pour.   They don't have everything listed on the menu but I grabbed several pours of stuff I'll never find at home .

    Hit that place up a few months ago, they did have good stuff
  15. I took your advce, and bought a bottle at Spec's the next day. I should have bought a case.
    When I bought my last bottle in 2020, the liquor store owner told me his distributor had two bottles in inventory. The one I was buying, and one in El Paso. I think I paid a $20 mark up. Totally worth it. 

    Definitely worth it
