  • 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,

Shows you how far Weller 12 has come in the bourbon world 

Well it says PVW and Antique Collection. So that’s an erroneous picture

I suppose I'll be stopping by the local Costco to enter tomorrow.  Thanks for the heads up.

It doesn't look I'm getting a bottle of Thomas Handy this year. I'll probably pick up a bottle of Whistle Pig 10 Store Pick if I want to change it up with a good rye.

I called the WB on WC.  They told me that you have to drop off your entry between 1-5, and then they will draw in sequence starting with W12 and ending with the PVW between 6-8. Must be present to win. I am assuming that I will be able to bring my own set up and grab a bottle off the shelve while I wait. 

Nice little birthday present from the in-laws...

 

Handle of Antique. Apparently he has 8 handles that he bought some years ago because he likes the high proof whisky in his coke! He can't believe anybody would drink it neat.

Can surly help his retirement years. Shit I am sure that you can get a long list of high proof trades to replace those handle.s

Haha, awesome.  Hopefully he uses fancy cane sugar coke.

uh, you might have some splaining to do.  what kind of friend gets sent 6 bottles of blanton?  i'm thinking there are some sexual favors involved.  and even then, i dont care how good your blowjobs are, you aren't getting more than two bottles of blantons.

Old Forrester is releasing a rye in February 2019. 

Jackie Zykan discusses it briefly in Epsidoe 177 of the Bourbon Pursuit Podcast. It’s a pretty interesting listen. 

GD what a beautiful bottle. so glad i opened this thread on my laptop instead of tapa for the first time to see that picture in its HUGE gloriousness

I was going to come here and be braggadocios about my trip about picking up a GTS, W12 and a Weller Antique.

So, FU Man.

Anyone go to the Costco raffle shit show?

no. wife left me with the kids. probably for the best of all involved.  although i did consider dragging them down to the liquor store for a bourbon drawing for a minute. then figured that could be used against me in divorce court.

Yup, I hit 2. Got a Weller 12 1.75l at the first and an Elmer t Lee at Pearland. Not too shabby, but fuck the Costco on Richmond. They had the dumbest way of doing it. They called Weller 12 first, about 24 of them, then antique, then some more crap with a pappy mixed in every now and then. Total bullshit cause people picked early for w12 were out. They even raffled colonel es Taylor small batch, as if that's hard to find....

The Bunker Hill one was a joke, horribly run. Waited until the room was a crowded mess and then passed around notepads asking people to sign up. One Costco employee told people to write down name and email address. Another told people to write down name and phone number. After collecting all of them (and who knows how many duplicates) they announced they would not put your entry in the box if you didn't include your email address. After outcry from half of the crowd they called out names of everyone that didn't have email address to get those written in. Who knows if they actually got put in the box.

For the drawing, I saw a husband and wife pulled a Stagg and a Handy. There was also a mom and son who each pulled a bottle. Then there was a group of 7 people where 6 of them got a bottle. I'm guessing they didn't shuffle the entries at all.

We have some pull at the Bunker Hill location, I regret not going if there was any sort of favoritism shown.

I'm not sure it was favoritism; I think just run of the mill incompetence. 

Won the goody goody lotto, had choice between GTS, WLW, and pappy 10

I chose, WLW

Have had GTS before and like it but WLW seems more of a unicorn

Yup, that's the right choice. 


Yep I thought so, but was still nervous to pick since I’ve only had GTS ( which is phenomenal)

Sort of the same sort of in South Austin, but if you got picked for the W12, you could say no thank you and they would put your name back in the box. Happened to me, and I got lucky and got picked a second time for a '17 GTS.  Liked it better when if you were picked, you got your choice of the remaining bottles.

Yeah, they told me I couldn't put it back in the drawing instead. They had about 250 people there, and drew about 50 bottles, but a lot of them, probably 35, were weller 12 and antique. 

At the Pearland one, they had the bottle draft style. The first person drawn was a distributor that was working there doing Tequila samples during the drawing. Kind of sketchy, but he got the Pappy 23 :(

Heard he stuffed the ballot box and entered around a dozen times. At least according to the rumors on the Facebook.

Yup, some of the houston lotteries were rigged this year. A rep has already been fired, or that’s the scuttlebutt at least...

 

Dont really care, but hope to hell this shit doesnt happen to Mezcal in the future

Yeah, their lottery system has a lot of flaws. They aren't carding anyone for ID, so you really could say you are whoever's name was called if they don't show up.

It’s beautiful , gotta pick up some cokes to mix it with .

Paid 140, kinda surprised big store like goody goody would markup over msrp

This is making my $101 combo purchase of Twin’s store pick Blanton’s and OWA today look weak.  

well i was about to tell y’all the pflugerville costco had 3 weller 12’s on the shelf at 7:30 this evening but never mind, i guess.
