Went to a whisky tasting recently... Still Austin was there. Never thought of trying before... had a taste of their blue corn product. Very good.

Now I must have, but it looks to be a once a year release (end of year?) ... and is always in high demand and are lucky if can acquire.


Blue is very good
I like Red even better

I fell in love with the Penelope Private Select last year. Put it in a blind with other 10 year olds and the 1924 came out on top.
Haven't had McKenna in a while so a little surprised I put it in 2nd.

McKenna is extremely batch dependent IMO. Moreso than other single barrels I've tried.

Ran into a GTS Full Proof(142) yesterday. I'm sure it was full secondary. What is the cost of one of these bottles?

MSRP - 150, secondary - 700-750

I have heard that as well. I have been fortunate enough to be pleased with the few bottles I've gotten.

I saw it for $576. Curious to see how bad a price that was. The particular store had several hard to find bottles that all looked to be close to double MSRP. There might be a deal to be had on the GTS. They told me it had been there for a couple months.

They had ER at $77.
EHT Full Proof at $229
JD 12 at $229
Stagg at $159

a few others I don't remember

All those other prices are pretty rough but the 576 for a 25 GTS is good.

Did you proof the others down to 90 for an even comparison? The ER is the lighter of the bunch.

I would never buy the others. Never seen the GTS Full Proof in the wild.

No, but that might be an idea for next time. I don't ever add drops or ice to anything so wasn't too worried about how they stacked up with different proofs. These are four bourbons I'll always try to have on hand, and honestly didn't even look at the proof of the 1924 before I tasted it.
The Penelope is 106.8 so had a range amongst the four.

As of noon, CS Total Wine had Stagg, ER and Blantons with a 1 per person limit on each. Across the aisle from the main bourbon display, kind of hidden.

What is/was the site?
Tom Cardy
How long do you want to ignore this user?

I don't remember the specific site, but in general I would not recommend buying online from anywhere that is not an established retailer with history.

I've used: Seelbach's, SharedPour, ReserveBar

If you see a site that's either advertising a price that seems too good to be true, OR seems to have selection of products that are rarely available, it's likely a scam.

Many states don't allow DTC shipping right now and you'll have potential issues with that, as well.

I have used Seelbach's, Reserve Bar and Nestor Liquor. No issues with any of those.

Frootbat occasionally sells some things at a good deal. One time i had an issue with Blantons Red wax and they told me to keep the bottle and they reshipped me a new one. That was in the facebook flipper hayday and it was 169.99 free shipping. Felt that was fair.

I haven't bought online in years but once got a decent deal on Stagg Jr on Frootbat. It was like $225 at the time which was pretty damn good. Anyway, I ordered three and when I got them they were a Batch 7 and two Batch 9s. Still have one of the 9s I think.

The post that Tom Cardy & I referenced is gone. I don't remember what the website was. It was a .org site I do remember that.

The post actually replied to a comment from like 10 years ago. So it was some bot scanning for a specific word.

It was pretty obvious that it was a scam.
