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

That’s MSRP now unfortunately. The days of finding it for under $30 are gone. :(

  • 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,

You're up in Montana right? I probably would have done that given the circumstances.

I picked up a bottle of Antique for $25 last week. It might been a 2018 release.Regardless, I'm lucky. 

Shenk's tonight. It's what I expected, a younger, much cheaper Michter's. So pretty good.

It gives me confidence that Michter's 10 will just fine when they stop sourcing.

Of course... I couldn't find Balcones Pot Still anywhere last week so I ordered some online, and now it's everywhere. Plenty of bottles at Spec's and GG my fellow Houstonians.

I love how the title of the article is “6 affordable bourbons” and they list $220 Garrison Brosemoji849.png. And then they have the audacity to suggest Larceny 92 proof and not the full proof. Strange

 

 

The retail on the Larceny Barrel proof is $115, so not exactly affordable either

In the words of @thestud, "relationships". Out of all my bourbon guys/gals, I think only one is a genuinely nice person that doesn't give a s*** what management thinks. So yeah, he'll hook me up if I ask nicely.

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. 

 

 

Young Whiskey...At $60, I'd go to E.H. Taylor SmB, or KCSB all day everyday and pocket the difference. Heck that's two bottles of BT plus

I didn’t think it was good. But never got confirmation from anyone who tried it. So it sucks?

Scored a bottle in Nac a few days ago. Haven’t opened it yet. What’s been the consensus on this?

It sucks.  I really wanted to like it after loving the wheated.  But it's just terrible.

So the consensus is the Balcones Wheated is the only decent, reasonably bourbon in the state? I want us to do better. Balcones and Garrison Bros have both been around long enough to produce a 7-8 year bourbon. Come at me, Garrison Bros truthers, where is it? I think taxes plays a BIG part. 

Yeah, I'm leery about taking Balcones Pot Still for a test drive. I guess I could always give it to the wife for cocktails.

Well...shit. 

Was in Santa Fe last weekend and hit up all the local stores looking for the hard to finds. I didn’t have any luck but one store owner recommended this bottle. Think he said it came from Oregon. I love fly fishing so would have bought it either way. Any info on this?b33227d76270c9778592aac770d4de22.jpg

Never seen it but cool bottle. Let us know how it tastes.

Opened it last night. Absolutely hated it. I give up. Sticking to KY products from now on.

The bourbon gods delivered. 

Hell yea.
I won a SFTB in a Fireball last week for $20.
It was a good day.

How much is Blanton's sftb? I would love to get a bottle

I probably overpaid at $160 but I don’t really care to go bargain shopping all the time. That included shipping.

Picked up a bottle of Barrel Dovetail today.  Never heard of it and had mixed opinions on Barrel from prior experience.  Fortunately the store had a sample. It was really good with my only objection being the alcohol burn in the finish. I expect that will mellow with some age in the open bottle. Recommend if you happen across a bottle.

Completely agree.  Went back and picked up a case.

Did you just completely agree?  WITH YOURSELF?

 

As a follow up on prices, I paid $414 out the door for the 2 bottles of Gold and 2 bottles of SFTB in Nassau.  This was after the guy gave a discount and waved the 12% VAT due to buying 4.

They were listed at $109 and $124 respectively so I felt good about that.

The post immediately before mine referencing the same bottle in bumped my quoted post.  Thought that was fairly obvious.  But I’m quoting your post to avoid the potential for confusion.

sorry I just wanted to reference Farva

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

My new favorite bourbon. And yes that’s $20 too high.

Fuck. A case?  Aggressive. I grabbed three bottles and felt like dirty. Shit is damn fine as it airs out. Didn’t even add water. 

I special ordered and his distributor gave him more than he expected.  I almost felt like I was doing him a favor.  I’m magnanimous like that. Agree that it’s better with some open bottle age and doesn’t need water.

FINE, I'll try to find some.

 

I bought this, curious if anyone has tried the new batch...

Where did you order it from? I wanted to order from Master of Malt, but found out they won't deliver to US currently

Picked up Rowan’s Creek. Never had it before. I like it. Smooth.

Smax is forever on my “fuck you, smax” since posting the on sale birthday bourbon he bought a couple of years ago. 

In short, fuck you smax.

Well, hell. I spent my money on the wrong Barrell bottle. Dovetail is still sourced from Dickel right?

Headed to Kentucky 4/15-4/19 for [mention=1802]BTW[/mention] 40th. Hitting up some distilleries, horse races, Louisville Slugger HQ, and Valhalla.

 

Any can’t-miss recs? I know we’re doing Makers. Others are up in the air at this point, I believe.
