Maybe one day. I have quite a lot else to drink through before I get to anything that pricey or old.

Want to sell me a bottle of the EW 12yr?

And no, I probably don't have anything to trade. I don't go after the rarez. I hope in the next W12 release I can get as much as I did last time to start trading for exported bourbon.

Just got back from the republic. They are having that March madness whiskey tournament.

Each week they have a new match up of two different pours sold together. The price changes week to week but they don't tell you what the two bourbons are. The only thing they tell you is the seeds (same as the 64 team March madness bracket) and the price.

You tell them which one you like better and they record your vote. The winner advances. I won't mention the two they are serving now but last week it was a 1 seed against a 12 seed: old rip van winkle vs Weller antique 107. Some how the old rip advanced but it was 44 votes to 41, so very close.

That is badass

Hopefully I can convince a few of my more cultured friends to swing by sometime

Interesting. Keep us in the loop, I'd be interested to see how it shakes out. I'll be shocked if a Van Winkle label wins out in the end, I just don't think they stack up all that well with other high-end bourbons, hype and hysteria notwithstanding.

I'm there on Thursdays if you come then, say hi.

I'm very torn on it really. I go there to drink one specific bourbon but I have gotten suckered into the tourney the last couple weeks. It's fun, don't get me wrong but I'd be better off sticking to my preferred drink.

When are you usually there? I run the range for the pistol team Thursdays and can't really make it anywhere til 8 or so.

Just depends. I'm usually gone by then but sometimes I go later.

Blanton's was delivered this week. Total Wine probably has already sold out. I visited a honey hole of mine and I knew the owner keeps it in the back. I asked for it and he said sure. He walks out with Blanton's regular and a SFTB. Yes please.

SFTB? store bought it from overseas to re-sell it?

Bold move for a guy with a liquor license

You'd be surprised how openly blatant lots of liquor store owners are about buying and selling bourbon on the secondary sites. Surprises me to see the risks they take.

This is true. And why I won't mention his name.

Looking for a bottle of 2017 William Larue Weller for a gift. Anyone have one they'd let go for cash? Willing to pay secondary prices.

TW west plano said they got 6 bottles of Blantons and sold out at 10:07 am.

I half-jokingly asked the lady at the liquor store if they had Blantons, and sure enough, they did!

She also showed me Jefferson Reserve Chef Collaborative and some Willett Rye. Both are supposed to be more difficult to find, but being pretty new to the bourbon game (and wanting to stay married) I passed on those.

She also told me they lock up Eagle Rare now, and another store told me they keep it behind the counter and limit sells to 1 per person. Seems like a low priced bourbon to be that security conscious about. It's delicious, but is it that sought after?

Eagle Rare is a hell of a value, yes.

Had a successful evening, went by Whiskey Charlie's after dinner and grabbed one of two ECBP they had on the shelf. It's the last batch from last year, C917

Just cracked open a bottle of 2005 EW 1783 10yr this weekend. Incredible nose on this. Had some in a glass all afternoon just so I could smell it! On the palate it has some hint of butterscotch kinda like that old National Distillery juice but much more subtle. Not my favorite but a solid changeup for a different tasting pour.

I see it often. TABC has been shellacked lately but those fines would crush a mom and pop.

Opened a bottle of Balcones Single Malt last night, and the only way I can describe how it smelled and tasted is like tequila, no malt at all. Am I crazy, did I somehow get a bad bottle, or has anyone else experienced this?

Similar taste here... kinda all over the place like tequila mixed with whiskey and some plants.

Didn't care for it.


On an unrelated note, ready to crack my ORVW if the eagles win tonight! Will also drink my sample of bookers rye.

Saw bookers rye at a bar last week and asked how much for a pour. I have really been wanting to try it but not for $75

Glad to know it's not just me. Most people seem to really like it. I figure I'll give it a couple weeks, try it one more time, then give it to a buddy who likes it if I still get the same taste. Not my style at all.
