Someone Say Whiskey is a national FB group so when we do a barrel pick, we offer a percentage of the bottles to members that aren't local to DFW and will ship them. Not to brag or anything, but we've released some pretty damn good bottles. Herbie can testify. Our 2 JDBP picks were fucking incredible. If anyone wants in the group, just message me with your name on Facebook and I can let you in. just curious, where did you get the bottle? I thought that one was sold out. Circling back here, you guys ship many bottles from picks? My go to store sold out to liquor barn a year or 2 ago and my go to fb group with picks got shut down by Zuckerberg 6 months ago. I'm just looking for some damn drinkers every now and then since any pick worth a damn where I'm at is sold out in 30 min at stores.

November 19, 20223 yr Well this is just incredible. Waiting by the phone. I’ve gotten it the last two years after Christmas. I too would like one and I am by a phone, will that help me get one?
November 19, 20223 yr Old forestor single barrel barrel proofs hitting around Austin lately. Anyone tried any of them? ADHD did one YouTube review where his was too hot to taste anything else, think he compared it to gasoline... Otherwise I’ve seen pretty solid reviews on them.

Otherwise I’ve seen pretty solid reviews on them. i've had separate conversations with pickers at stores about these. the samples ranged from like 124 all the way to 140 or something. the universal opinion was that the hotter ones were pretty terrible. the picks i've gotten were all in the high 120's and were great. not sure how many bottles are like this, in that they only exist as store picks. the 4r sib bs is the only other one i can think of, and those bottles are a lot to live up to, most of them are perfect.

I haven’t had this round, but had a couple from last year and didn’t care for them at all. The ECBP private barrels are 2x+ the age for around the same price and 3x as good. I do like the OF barrel proof rye though.
November 19, 20223 yr Oak liquor was giving out samples of the pick to people waiting in line. it wasn’t super hot, very good.

November 20, 20223 yr Wow! I have an unopened 12 yr lot B, looks like I need to sell it.You can get a grand for it on secondary
November 20, 20223 yr That’s just crazy. Is the lot b good or is it just a unicorn? Seriously, I gave $75 for it 7-8 years ago, never opened it just because I knew it would be impossible to replace.

Seriously, I gave $75 for it 7-8 years ago, never opened it just because I knew it would be impossible to replace. It’s neither. The taters have gone full potato over the last 2.5 years. Don’t get me wrong, I would love nothing more than for the secondary market to implode and the bourbon craze to die tomorrow, but until then if there’s an idiot out there with more money than sense and I am in a position to take advantage of that then I absolutely will.
November 21, 20223 yr I’m personally not a fan of the Lot B.This weekend a buddy gave me a bottle of Benchmark Full Proof that he said was going down the drain unless I wanted it. I’m digging it. I went to get more and my local place is wiped out. Hmm…
November 22, 20223 yr I know it’s not bourbon, but this has been in my sights for a few years and was finally able to work a trade for it. Batch 2 is a delicious grapefruit bomb.
November 22, 20223 yr The new Spec's on Fountain View has pretty fair amount of W.B. Saffell. It's really good Wild Turkey for those that have never tried it before.

November 22, 20223 yr Its different and not cheap but worth a flier for anyone with any sort of nose and wallet.

November 24, 20223 yr In Hawaii for Thanksgiving. Prices aren’t completely ridiculous. OF 1920 for $65. I’ll take it.
November 24, 20223 yr From a distillery on Kauai. May need to grab a bottle to take home tomorrow. Can I take a full unopened bottle on the plane?

November 24, 20223 yr That 130th is one of my favorites of all time. I had two and the first one went very quickly. Been trying to conserve what I can of this last one
