You just do random mini bottles or an actual infinity bottle?

  • 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,

A buddy told me “Hey I know a guy, I can get you some allocated bottles”, so I said Yes, please.  What are normal prices at the liquor store for these?  Then I’ll tell you what was charged at the store.

$60 each

Sure. The WA107 was $130 and the EHT was $95. I only found this after the fact so stuck with it. 

Without doxxing anybody, this was a small town liquor store outside Houston. 

Got the gg call today. Russell’s single rickhouse for $225. Worth it?

I paid $50 even for 107 and about $38-42 for EHT Small Batch. 
 

That asshole in San Francisco is charging $150 for EHT Small Batch now. Poor form.

Why is it 125% more than Russell’s 13?

Yes, I trusted that my buddy was buying at MSRP from the small liquor store.

They’ll get ya just like a family store in a big city. I got scorched on a Weller 12 - Belfour package deal.

I'm in Steamboat Springs and was wandering through a small market with a liquor section. Had about 12 bottles of Eagle Rare on the shelf for $80.00. I've never seen one in the wild before, but opted not to spend the money.

You might not do better given the season/location. I usually just buy a handle of Buffalo Trace up there. Its satisfies the sipper and cocktail mixers. 
 

I’d look for Four Roses picks up there too.

I really like both of those. If you don't open them I'll give you what you paid for them

I have no experience with bourbons and have been mostly a Scotch and Japanese whisky drinker.

My palate prefers a drink that isn’t heavy on pepper, but includes a moderate amount of smoke. My go-tos are Lagavulin, Yoichi, Talisker (which is pretty smoky), or Green Label when I’m drinking on a budget.

I want to add some bourbons to my whisky / whiskey shelf and looking for a starting point. Budgeting being $60-$80 per bottle.

 

Nothing too sweet please. I have a few bottles of Irish that I’m still trying to choke down. 

This past weekend a buddy of mine had a bottle that tasted way different than bourbons I'm used to tasting and you might actually like it. It wasn't nearly as sweet as other bourbons and had a hint of smoke with some tobacco notes. Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel. No idea where he got it but he said it was about $50

thanks.  have to collect by close of business saturday.  planning on going about 830 and seeing what other stuff might not have been collected instead.

Who can give me a review of the JD Twice Barreled American Single Malt?

I'm curious, does it taste like scotch?

I’m looking for a full barrel display with lights if anyone has suggestions. I don’t have a huge collection but it is more than what fits in my bar now.

It does not taste like Scotch.  American Single Malts are their own breed.  
The JD is really good.  It's not as sweet as a bourbon, the sherry finish really shines through on this one.  I am a big fan of this.  It's very fruit forward without being overly sweet and has a great finish to it.

Admittedly I have not had any American Single Malts other than Balcones 1 in prob 8 years.  Looking forward to trying this now.

So you stopped buying it 2 years ago?

Longer than that.  I have a bottle that’s unopened.  You want to buy it?

I guess?  Why are you looking to sell?

107 is fine but I don't care one way or the other.  However I would buy 2 if I found it at retail.

Well, if people want to be retarded and overpay, why not?  I also have an unopened bottle of Stagg Jr. Batch 1 if anyone wants to over pay for that shit too.

Put a one in front and you’ve got a deal.  I’ll drink it otherwise.

Hell, I’ll sell it to you for an even C note.  I’ll give you the cool buddy discount.

I’ll give you $100 for it if you ship it to Dallas

What are y’all seeing Buffalo Trace 750 ml bottles going for? Local store has 25.99 which I think is a very good price. Just curious.

Anything $35 or less is a good deal in my opinion. Over that not so much, but I’m in a position to say that because I have plenty available. If I didn’t have any and hadn’t seen it in a good while I might be tempted to spend a bit more 

Bookers is quite good. And sometimes it’s magnificent. This was in my top 10 pours all time….

Single most disgusting pour bottled. I have 24.2 ounces left. 

Stretched this bottle over 2 years.
Finally killed it tonight.
Fuck it was good.
The Goody picks over the last 2-3 years have been so good. Damn shame their picker left the company in November.

Yeah I remember the early ones were rough. They’ve definitely improved. 

I did a little organizing (caught the Covid and I’m bored) today and moved all my unopened bottles except the top shelf out of our pantry and the bar.  Found a couple I thought I’d traded but apparently I’m down a Barterhouse 20 so that sucks.  If anybody wants to trade a shitty Stagg Jr Batch 1 for a good batch I got you.

What little book is that?

Those are Chapter 4, I quit buying them after Chapter 5.  Chapter 2 is what got me into the series because I have a soft spot for that weird ass 40 y/o corn whiskey.  I highly recommend any of the Chronicles bottles to anybody with $215 who’s bored with bourbon.

I have a 5 I haven’t opened yet. 

Yet.

I feel like I got you into some secondary groups and caused you to hate all collections and allocated bourbon. Sorry if I ruining it for you with fruit from T he tree of knowledge.  If it makes you feel any better I have pretty much all of this open (and more) and many people have enjoyed drinking at my bar.
