I stashed a Elijah Craig Straight Rye at FIL’s house a couple years ago, and I just found it. There are few things better than found whiskey. 

This is why I always hide hooch at my dad’s house.

It does taste like the Special Release from a few years back. Less cherry, more of a rich red fruit note. Also lacks a nice pop due to the lower proof. That said, it’s a terrific bottle. Nice chocolate covered fruit finish. I’ll take the lower proof for another year in the barrel and 300 more ml for about the same price.

Anyone have a bottle of Blanton’s that they would sell for normal cost (or anything else interesting at that price point)? It will go in a Dallas ISD school auction.

Being fortunate to be near The Whiskey Blendery here in the DFW area, I have had numerous of the Buffalo Turkeys and I have bought 4 different ones at a $225 price.  And they are all better than that bottle that was significantly more expensive.  OKI is being greedy IMO.  That's not a $400 bottle.

The Blendery is gift shop only/no shipping right? I’d rather pay a little extra than have to drive up there.

But I agree, OKI is being greedy. TexAgs did a pick for $260 a bottle. Spec’s gets a little cute on super allocated stuff, but they’re usually within $20-25 of MSRP. OKI priced it at $350, not Spec’s.

Very underrated IMO

Not breaking news by any means, but Buffalo Trace store picks are infinitely crushable. 

Very overrated IMO

Say more about this- what school, what’s your connection, where does it go, etc.
