  • I’m exhausted, but she’s basically done... just a few touch ups and a second lamp... then I get to focus on balancing out the left side. Been very thankful to have this as a distraction during COVID,

Going to the Bahamas this weekend.

 

Blantons Gold $109

SFTB $124

 

Can anyone convince me on the latter?

 

Or just bring home two regular for $67 each

SFTB. My God I love that shit. I’m going in May. I’m going to take notes. 

Picked up a bottle of Makers Private Select today. Pretty damn tasty. 

Have a bottle of Blantons SFTB being delivered tomorrow

Aren’t you holding a bottle of gold for me currently?
Yes you did. You specifically asked if it was worth a c-note. But hey, whatever. 


TxTower was the one who asked if it was worth a c-note. And you and ck both responded.

I’m down to one bottle of Hancock’s Reserve. I haven’t seen on the shelf in about 3 years. I can’t even remember where I bought the last bottle. 

*Hot take alert* : I Ike it better than regular Blanton’s.

I fucking love McKenna and I love even more that I can find it on a shelf at plenty of places for like 30 bucks.

Good Luck with that...

Huge, at those prices I’d buy everything they have. If it’s more than you think you can drink then use them as trade bait, or send some to your favorite North Texas asshole?

Isn't there a customs limit?

Huge is going to be carrying that much inside his blood stream. 

I’ve been seeing Makers Mark Cask Strength at $36-$39 for the 750ml.

High proof wheater under $50. Any fans of this stuff?

Are you sure it's 750? that sound like the 375 price. If you're a MM fan, take a chance, it cant hurt, reviews are good.

It takes like you’d expect it to. A stronger Maker’s Mark. I think that’s a good thing. If you like Maker’s I think you’d like the cask strength.

Finding Blantons stacked deep on the shelf overseas makes me want to punch somebody. After I get over that I put a couple in my basket and wrap them for check in. 

Decided to stop by the Total Wine on a whim on my way home, and I was rewarded with a four roses single barrel. Not a bad pickup at all.

They also had balcones blue corn in stock, which is my favorite Texas bourbon, and a shit ton of 1792 full proof store picks in stock. 

How are the Elijah Craig Store Picks from last year? Deb’s tried to sell me some while I was in Austin. The sample was pretty good. I recently picked up a bottle as filler in an online order. 

I’m not having a great picking year thus far. Two bottles of Schenk’s, and one bottle of Weller Antique.

I bought a bottle of Deb's store pick ec small batch. It's pretty good but was overpriced. It was aged 9 yeas though.

Why does Blantons not sell their higher end product in the US? A gimmick to make it a “unicorn” of sorts?

They started off as a premium export brand so I'm guessing they like to keep that up.

Picked up some Willett 4 year today at lunch for $55.

A guy I know sent me some Pappy 15 because I’ve never had it before. I’m enjoying it right now. It started out a little strong, but after the third sip, it settled down, and it is smooth as fuck. The thing that sticks out to me the most is the incredible balance. It has the sweet cherry and oak note in sweet harmony. It actually surprised me a little. It is delicious. 

I hear that a lot about PVW (15 being the favorite). I guess that's good because I've only had the 15 (if you don't count ORVW, and I don't).

Those Blanton's pics make me want to go back overseas.

So this was supposedly a big deal. I like it but it’s nothing mind blowing. Prefer Blantons and Weller 12. I’m satisfied though for $35.

How does anyone like the Belle Meade Cask Strength? I might go pick up a bottle tomorrow ($80).

Rye or Bourbon? Small batch or single barrel?

I’m not a fan of Belle Meade Reserve. A lot of people like it though. The MSRP is about $55. 

The single barrels above 9 years old are usually really good and worth $80. The Belle Meade 11 Single Barrel was one of the better sourced bourbons I’ve had.

It's good, but that price is $20 too high.

Good to know

So it happened...

Has anyone ever had Yellow Rose bourbon? I brought up bourbon at work, and a superior of mine mentioned enjoying Yellow Rose recently. Now, I didn’t get the inclination that bourbon was his regular choice of drink. I’m sure he just wanted to express a commonality with his subordinates. Instead of imposing my views on him, I realized I’ve never actually tried Yellow Rose. I’ve only read meh reviews so I didnt waste the money.

huge, why the fuck are you putting the bourbon on the table on the balcony?

 

I need to send a picture to the internet.

I like it. The ~115 proof is kinda my wheelhouse. I know [mention=129]capnamerca[/mention] is a huge fan of Belle Meade.

Well went back today for another bottle of the willet 4 yr rye (were 6 more yesterday) and they were all gone. 

Ended up w a bottle Yippee Ki Yay for $65. Been wanting to try and am a sucker for finished whiskey.

Saw OWA on the shelf for the first time today in years. $59 for a 750. It did not come home with me.
