    That Boone County, tho.  First time I had it Inwas thinking “oh shit, this is a way better 90 proofer than W12 and it’s just sitting on shelves.”  Then everybody else figured it out and now it’s $350 secondary.  

    I'm a little bummed, I knew they were about out of the MGP stuff around that time so I went to the distillery and grabbed 3 more bottles, not fully knowing it would literally be gone the next week. The folks at the distillery played a little cagey with me as well when i asked how much stock was left, should have grabbed more. It would sit on shelves here all day for 45 bucks a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I wrote on this page to stock up because it was going away a couple months before it did, should have taken my own advice.

  2. Alright secondary experts, [mention=290]BigDHornfan[/mention] and [mention=2999]USCATX[/mention] what’s a decent price for Coy Hill? 

    Looking at a few groups quick it looks like going rate is between 375 to 450. People asking above that arent selling

  3. First person in line received a ORVW. The next 4 received Sazerac 18. 
     
    18 hour wait for that. Come on people. Your time is valuable and worth money. 

    You overestimate the value of tater time. Some people I know in bourbon groups love to do that shit to talk to people in line and "build friendships", blows my mind.
  4. No call from Goody this year, but did manage to get this in lieu.
    And thankful for their delivery option since I’m quarantined til Monday.

    If you open it let me know how it is, this has been sitting on the shelf for a few weeks now and I haven't pulled the trigger.

  6. Wow. I paid $166 for LE, what a ripoff! 

    I saw a receipt posted, I'm thinking it was 190 out the door or so. Not bad for 20 year 4 roses goodness. They lasted pretty much all day in the gift shop (had a shit load apparently), I'm a little annoyed I didn't drive down to get one.

  7. I’ve been very fortunate. A Birthday Bourbon for every year I’ve collected. I think it’s distinguished itself as the best annual release in bourbon.

    If you’re still in Kentucky, you better go get those 4 Maker’s Mark DNAs for $440. 

    I've come across 1 or 2 of the proofs, but didn't pull the trigger since it was some expensive ass makers. I've been mostly buying shelf stuff and being selective on releases lately
  8. Just spent a weekend in NYC and saw my first birthday bourbon in the wild at a liquor store near Chelsea Market-$1k for 2021.  Hard pass-

    Yeah....over secondary would be a pass
  9. Nice little Saturday.

    Gotta say, I may need to hit you up next year for ofbb since I lost both my contacts and have one on the way, you have some serious work put in down there.
  10. Bourbon market is officially out of control. I can't compete with people lining up at specs at 8am. 

    8am for opening/selling when? The jackasses around me start lining up the night before to camp out. And don't even always know what will be put out the next day
  11. His parents literally pay for everything.  He's a mooch.  His brother is one of the hardest working guys I've ever met and truly a good guy.  His sister is in her mid 40s and worked full time up until about 5 years ago and runs a business out of her house.  She's a great lady as well.  BIL is a worthless piece of shit and everyone in the entire family knows it.  He bitched and complained to my SIL that she got fat (and to be fair, she did) and told her she needed to lose weight.  Meanwhile, he's a tub of lard, drunks from sun up to sun down, and is the laziest person I have ever met.  He's told my SIL that she needed to get fake tits, dye her hair and essentially be his barbie doll.  See why I win this thread every year? 
    It's like I've said: It's like the Manson family combined with Eddie's family from Christmas vacation every year.

    So what is his surly handle?

    I enjoyed the visit except in and around the stadium and all their trash fans. My daughters told me about some “older” (to them) fans at a tailgate saying they were going to piss on them. I didn’t hear it, but it happened.

    My third daughter was sitting in a section of ISU Athletic Department special guest section because her roommate was a student academic leader when she was at ISU. She has a  quick wit and smacks with the best of them, and when some of the ex-players from their Pinstripe Bowl started throwing the Horns down in her face, she asked them in a naive/sarcastic voice, “ What is the Pinstripe Bowl? Is it kinda like a national championship or something.” When her roommates old coach advised her that her Texas jersey would not be welcomed at the ISU AD tailgate on Saturday, she asked the coach why because Texas would never tell an opposing fan that they were not welcome at an official Texas tailgate. I’m sure she said it nicer than that, but the coach didn’t have a clear response.

    Then there were all the school age kids being encouraged by their parents to do the Horns down, jeering when Bijan was down, booing when The Eyes was being played.

    Fuck ‘em. I hope they enjoy their new conference mates:

     

     

    Sorry you had a bad experience my man, usually opposing fans love the tailgates at isu. I'm guessing tensions were a bit high due to the conference situation (I wasn't there). I saw the kids on TV with the horns down and personally think it's dumb and an aggy thing but what can you do. Hope you come back some day and have a better experience.
