TW upped the price on W107?
I’d still pay it if I can nab some!

Buffalo Trace did most of the price increase. The MSRP is now $49.99, I believe.

RHF is good. It’s not anything I’d actively hunt for, nor lose my mind over finding. The $60 price band is more competitive than ever, and I’m not positive it’d win a blind vs other favorites of mine in that price band.

Moved and organized the collection today. Some observations: 

I have a lot more Antique and Eagle Rare than I thought I did. 
 

I need to stop giving Blanton’s as gifts. Four is pretty low. 
 

I still have one handle of Weller 12 left from 2017. Sigh, my former honey hole would sell me as many handles as I could buy, but  I showed financial restraint and didn’t buy them out. Terrible decision on my part. 
 

Yes I’m a Buffalo Trace fan boy, but I have a respectable amount of Heaven Hill. 
 

Note: The IW Harper bottles are Poor Man’s Pappy. I currently have three batches sitting.

Just finished an Eagle Rare. Next up is either EHT, Weller 12 or Elmer T.  Just me drinking on the back porch.  Wife (no pics, I’ll fucking cut you man) drinking a Pine Ridge cab.  Will Surly be judgemental of me if I drink both the Pine Ridge and one of bourbons?  All these questions and no definitive answers.  AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.  Please help.

on the subject of michters...my buddy is in the new disney show "the right stuff".  he was in orlando shooting for a while last year, and like always, became chummy with all his co-stars.  one night, they got to drinking brown liquor, and my buddy says he's a big michters fan.  turns out, the guy who plays gordo is also a big fan, and has a hookup with the distillery, so he made a call to send some down for the group.

he sent me this photo of when the shipment arrived.

pretty much every variation, including a couple cases of 10 bourbon and 10 rye.  said they also sent a 20 rye as a wrap present.

What do you think of the show thus far? I really like it.

Sweet Jesus. That is amazing 

I luckily got a Michters 10 this year. Tell your buddy he sucks at LAX.

Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel is BTAC level juice. I’d compare to the bourbon version of Handy. 

Kicking myself for picking Gold over this in Greece last year... or not buying every bottle in the store and shipping back to the states.

Also, regarding the Larceny, that’s going straight into mini bottles of poor(er) man’s pappy... I wouldn’t want to be so discourteous as to offer any man that bottle as a gift.

Sweet mother of pearl.  I’m suddenly less impressed with the two M10 rye, one M10 Bourbon and two barrel strength rye I scored this year.

Are those 4R the same recipe or each different?

4 different recipes with 2 of each. Obsv, oesk, oesv, and oesf. I'm a sucker for four roses bs. Stopped at Cox creek as well as distillery.

So how many Four Roses Barrel Strength SiBs do you have now? You gotta be pushing at least 20.

I spent way too much money yesterday on the bourbon trail.

I also showed a tiny bit of restraint and passed up a 15 year Willett for $750 and a lux double barrel 12 year or it would have been worse. ec59fb96dbfb241e681e4517def7b591.jpg

Well damn, I would have been happy to fund the Willett and Lux Double Barrel.
