    For my broke or frugal brothers and sisters, I’ve laid eyes on Maker’s Mark Barrel Select for $50 a bottle. Private message me for the location. 

    I’ll extend the charity because I believe every bourbon lover should it try it once. Maker’s is such an establishment in bourbon, it’s awesome to see them put a quality product for once. 

    Fantastic price on good bourbon that you can actually find right there. 

  2. I walked out of my liquor store pappy tasting of each year with a full bottle of old rip 10 last night from a drawing.

    The 20 year was by far the worst of all the years for myself and about everyone around, which surprised me.

    Allegedly Freddie only does VIP tours now. 

    I heard Fred Noe is usually in the gift shop after 3 pm at Jim Beam. 

    Not surprising, he's a big draw. 

  4. Castle and key was honestly pretty great too. I was very underwhelmed by Buffalo trace honestly since I got no blantons, no Freddie, and couldn't hear the tour guide haha.

    I’m drinking my last bottle of Boone County Eighteen 33 12 Year. Really rough week at work. A few close friends were laid off. 
     

    Thanks to whomever suggested Boone County was running low on 12 Year MGP juice.I bought a bottle the next day and I haven’t seen it for sale again. 

    Unfortunately gone forever, they have another MGP wheater out now, not sure if it's down in Texas or not though.

    I have an unopened store pick Weller 107 in my cabinet. What could I get for it on secondary?

    I've seen around 100 for most unless it's a special pick

  8. Father in law just won 2 separate lotteries, got a pappy 15 and the other one is where you go in and pick from a set of the pappys, old rips, and btac in an order drawn there at the time with a bottle guaranteed to each person. I struck out on these and like 5 more lotteries. Hope that fucker shares.

    My wife is convinced each dish needs a foot of spacing around it or it won't get clean.  It chaps my ass to no end that I open it up and there's like 6 dishes in a just run load.  And we just bought a $1,200 dishwasher so I'm sure it can handle it a little more density.

    The other end of this is when they are all arranged touching and leaning on each other and clang around and get all chipped up.

    Breaking down a box before putting it in the recycling bin is not difficult, right? I'm asking because the female in my house still has not grasped the concept that you can fit more boxes in the recycling bin if you break them down.

    Be thankful your wife gets them to the recycling. The whole box gets tossed in our four season room for me to break down and take out. When it does go out you can bet it's not broken down though

    I didn't know they did that for free. I'm at 7/8 with a couple duplicates. Need to find me an O!

    They sell those staves at the gift shop at the BT distillery, but I don't remember how much they were. You can buy the tops for $3.50 a piece if you want or just can't find that dumb N: one.

    Be careful buying one not actually on a bottle and sending it in, they claim they won't mount it unless they are from bottles. I guess you could always soak the cork in bourbon first to make it look like it was used.

    Total Wine refused to sell me another bottle of Full Proof. When I asked if they could sell one to my wife, they became bitchy and said no. “We call only sell one per party sir”.  Pretty ridiculous. Oh well, one should expect the Total in the Houston Galleria to be consistently awful. 

    That is pretty bad

    I mean if they have a reputation for doing good picks it’s not beyond the realm of possibility, especially if it was only one barrel. Total Wine did one about a year and a half ago that was the best one I ever had, I went back the same day and grabbed three more bottles.

     

     

    Yeah I mean I sorta agree but 3 months ago tthe same stores full proof pick was on shelves for at least a month before it sold out. It wins an award and people become idiots

  14. 1792 full proof has now jumped the fucking shark. My local place got a store pick in and put it out to their email list at 3 today and sold out of the whole damn barrel by 8.
