It looks like they have a ton to choose from. I bet all of the somewhat affordable stuff is long gone. By now.

We showed up at about 1:30 and had the same options minus the Blanton's gold. (Austin location)
I arrived around 9:30 and was 520 in line, so right behind you. Bought the exact same lineup minus the EC.
Great haul relative to the time spent. I think the ideal time to arrive would've been ~7…would've got WFP and Stagg (and maybe EHT?) and wouldn't have been there in total much longer.

Wow that line was moving slow. I got to Houston at 10:45 and was in my car by 1:00.
Looking for some Blantons if any is available. Located in CS.
They inexplicably only had 4 registers. Last year the Dallas location had 12.
I thought about heading back down there after work today with my wife, but between already having spent a ton on holiday season alcohol and only having the opportunity to buy a $400.00 purple top, I decided it wasn't worth it.
Not a bad haul for waiting 1.5 hours.
Double posted. My b
I never made it. Aggie buddy was in town and was Shanghai'd into brewery hopping and reminiscing.
Maybe next year.
Maybe next year.
How are those OF BS store picks? Worth $80?
Can't speak for that one but I can say I have never had one that wasn't.
Agreed
No kidding. It was painfully slow.
Consolation is the quantity and selection of bottles was great, especially the "pick 1" table at the end. The line was much shorter than last year overall, as well. I'm happy with the haul.

Just cracked it tonight, I think it's excellent.
The reports I saw lead me to believe the lines were much shorter than last year. Maybe next year showing up around noon isn't a bad idea.
I showed up at 1:00 in austin, was out the door at 3 with the same stuff that Therapist posted. 2 hours in the sunshine and meeting new people was worth it
Father in law surprised me with this on Christmas Eve.
Got a nice delivery today.
I married into the wrong family. Congrats
I had a fun blind taste test last night. My wife poured and I drank. Left to right was the order I preferred. The 4R was freshly opened. They were all good, just what I was feeling last night.
OBSV from the drop yesterday. Excellent pour
One of the few things ill miss about living in VA is how easy it is to get Bowman.
No doubt it is easier to find in VA. I never see it in NC
Anyone familiar with Saint Cloud? Gift from BIL.
always wondered about it, never pulled the trigger because of the price.
I think I recall someone saying that the owner of that brand had some shady stuff going on but don't quote me, if it's good then it's good

a couple of searches seems to confirm that.
It definitely looks sourced, so it could be good. Good looking bottle either way.

How is Bakers 13? Worth the price tag?

This is probably a fair review...

I just hate that Jim Beam keeps jacking up their prices. At some point you gotta figure these bottles will stop moving or move much slower.
It finally happened with King Ranch this year
It's probably going to happen across the bourbon/whiskey industry in a few years.
Beam has been pretty consistent with 10 bucks per year. Even less so with some. KC18 was 160. Hardin's was 135 for the new 17 year. 150 for the terrior series. Nothing crazy like WT.
