Found this at my neighborhood store in Round Rock. It was over retail at $90, but that didn't seem too crazy.

Let the kids (some of which are over 21) do a random drawing from the top shelf for NYE. Don't think there were any losers.
Celebrated NYE with a EH Taylor small batch pour before dinner, followed by a Blanton's Gold Spec's pick pour and two pours of the OWA 107 Spec's pick. Outstanding way to end the year as we head into dry January.

I got one at Specs for $75. It is delicious.
Specs pick Woodford Double Oaked. Need something that would go down faster while managing kids fireworks.

Woodford Reserve Specs pick is delicious. Highly recommend and the 110 proof is great. Great pickup at Aggieland Specs
Me and BIL's lineup Christmas Eve. Thanks JReg for the "birthday" present.
That specs project X bourbon is DELICIOUS.
Did anyone pick up the Shiner Bourbon at the Specs drop? I got there late in the day and didn't see it. And how much was it?
I would be interested in a bottle if anyone has had second thoughts about buying it.

Anyone have the Willet purple top 4 year? Small batch bourbon, cask strength.
Found one at MSRP at Total Wine in Houston but passed after reading online that it's not great.
I did grab a Penelope Havana though.

The updated specs app now shows rolling 12 points. I could only see that on my online account previously.
Did anyone else go to any of their bourbon drops and your points haven't hit your account yet? I know it normally takes a day or two but now it's almost been two weeks. My receipt shows the points I earned correctly.
Anyone going to Southeast Texas Whiskeyfest tonight in Beaumont?

I see that they also now base your membership level on rolling 12.
So you have to spend $6500 A YEAR to maintain black!

I've seen people say that bourbon drop day purchases don't count towards your points.
I have a friend who will be there.
Specs started the rolling 12 last year but only just updated their app. I think you had to ask a store employee what your rolling12 pt was. As Bulldog said, there were rumors that the drop wouldn't count. I also heard that some of the larger priced items wouldn't count but that the regular bourbon would. I think the intention was the keep flippers from instantly maintaining black with a few purchases.
Brazos Valley Bourbon Society hosts its first meeting of the new year tonight at Rough Draught, 6-8p.
Yeah, I knew about the rolling 12, but this is the first time I've seen it be what determines status/level. For some reason I'd assumed that they maybe used black status as a starting point, and then rolling 12.
Not counting bourbon day or mores expensive bottles kind of sucks. I got in late Monday, and bought several bottles that were still available the next day. That said, if those don't count, oh well. I was never going to get to that level in a year anyway. I did manage to get enough points to be able to buy a THH and EHT barrel proof this year. Probably won't be buying enough for those again for a LONG time, if ever, as I'm a bit… overstocked at the moment!

Specs Drop must not have counted. They weren't even asking for your member phone # at checkout.

I feel like every specs I go to never asks for my phone number at checkout as like standard practice
You can enter your number on the credit card reader, right after you click that you're over 21.
I definitely entered mine on the drop date. Forgot if I looked at my receipt to see if it said my points counted, though. I'm usually pretty anal about that, though, and with as much as I spent that day, I'm surprised that I don't remember.

I deliberately entered my number and the receipt shows I earned points.
I get if they don't want to give points on those days but that should at least be known.

We got our points from the drop.
If anyone here runs across a VOSN Superfreak in Houston or is willing to ship it to Houston, let me know. I'm on the lookout for more of them
It has been a week. Very happy finding this ECBP Rye in Beaumont last week when I was in town for the Whiskey Fest.
Just picked up Eagle rare 10 at $60.. I haven't bought it in forever, but that price didn't seem too inflated, considering I RARELY see this anymore.
However, right next to it was Eagle Rare 12. Never even seen this before. Bottle looked identical to the 10 except the number. It was $200, which I figured has to be inflated quite a bit.

Where were you at? But yes 200 for an Eagle 12 is full secondary.
Yeah, I'm not gonna pay that for ER12 but I did get a chance to taste it last weekend and it was lovely.
Lovely????
Yes, I told the rest of the group that I would literally wear it as perfume. You missed a good line up
Oh I know i saw the newsletter. That seems to always happen with me. Lol.
