Went iito a random liquor store in the Ozarks.
They just ran out of Weller Antique.

The one attached to Rainbow Grocery?

I didn't realize there was a liquor store by Rainbow Grocery. This is the one in the middle of town heading back on the road towards Creede called Switchback Liquors. They also had Eagle Rare at $51 as well.

Any good stores to hit up in OKC? Looking for good selection/store picks. Thanks

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

---

I had a 2oz pour of this the other night at Whiskey Cake for $85, and got to drink it side by side with WLW. The GTS 25 was the best pour I've ever had. Secondary price now is $1,000 - $1,200. I'd highly recommend buying it at the $570 price you saw.

Where the heck are seeing that sell for so high? The going rate is moreso about 725-750…

Multiple online sites. The one I use consistently is OnlyDrams. Seen several Youtuber reviewers reference $1,000 - 1,200 as well. They could be wrong. It's widely being called the best GTS in the last decade.

Edit to add: quick google search of secondary price generally confirms my price.

It is good yes don't get me wrong. OnlyDrams pricing is awful unless you pay for the elite. They mark every GTS as 1000 and realistically the only ones that are worth that much are some of the very earliest releases. Whatever it's listed at on the silly online liqour stores is majorly inflated relative to getting it from a trading group. Anything in the last 8 or 9 years goes up to about 800 at most. Not to hate on the 25 GTS but I personally like 2019 and 2022 more and think the ER17 and WLW 25 are both better. Everyone has a different palate.

Had GTS 142.6 BP for $60 this evening at "by Popular Demand" in Houston.

Feel bad for the manager, who dropped the 136 bottle with 1/3 left.

Is that 1/2 oz or had you already sipped some?

I had already tried it.

Recommend Modern Liquor/George's Liquor (same owner). Very good selection that rotates regularly plus constantly getting new store picks.
Lots of other good stores in other areas of the city, so if you've got a certain one, I might be able to recommend there.

Great news!

Pappy's?

Yeah not so much. Hint: both are from the same umbrella brand.

As pappy?

Haha I just meant Buffalo Trace.

Elijah Craig and Larceny?
.....or Mellow Corn??

I did the you do bourbon at heaven hill a few years back, and it was…. Fine. But has anyone done their BiB tour? Do you get any decent tastings?

Any other specific tours in Louisville or Bardstown areas you've loved? Especially things where you've been able to try something a little different than what's always in the shelf?

I know a tour by Freddie at Buffalo Trace is loved, and woodford's property is great.

Old forester and Woodford?

I love the Old Forester SBBS I have! Getting another and a rye would be okay with me!

OFSBBS is a great bottle. i always try to keep one on the shelf.

Russell's Reserve and Wild Turkey Rare Breed…not bad.

Any good stores or bars to check out in Columbus, OH? Specifically around the Easton area?

Ditto for store recs…we'll be in Dallas quite a bit this spring and I'd love to do a little treasure hunting. Specifically we'll be in downtown as well as Plano/Allen/The Colony areas at various times.
