Opened a Baker's 107 7yr I bought on Friday. Cork disentagrated open opening. Wine screw to pull it out.
Bummer. Shoved a wine cork in it's place.

The new Jack Daniel's heritage release is really damn good.

Celebrated w/ some WhistlePig 15 (the blue label). Not sure it's worth the co$t but it's damn good.

I love WP 15, but I'm not sure it's worth 1.5x the premium over the 13 year MGP picks that are out there right now.
Anyone seen BTAC in Texas yet?
Drinking Jefferson's Manhattans tonight.
Not bad for an easy cocktail.

Obviously not on the shelf buddy...Not what I'm asking. I'm talking about between anyone's contacts at stores, has anyone gotten any in? I've gotten BTAC from the owner at my store Thanksgiving week/last week of Nov. the past 3 years, and I haven't heard anything this year so I was just gauging if it had hit Texas yet.third coast.. said:

It did last week.
If y'all remember the bottle pick last year for M&R Liquors and missed out, well here is your chance to get your hands on it again. We did another bottle pick with a great group of guys. Hope y'all enjoy!

Well my store was right on time, guess I shouldn't have gotten impatient. Picking up a Thomas Handy + ORVW 10. Christmas in November!
Anybody see any dates for WB Liquors raffles? They have to be coming up soon.

What area are you in?
The manager at my local store in the Houston area told me they are next week. She also said they are planning to have them all on the same night in order to prevent people from attending multiple raffles. This is what I was told earlier in the week.BQRyno said:

yeah would really suck as a business owner to have a crowd of people show up on multiple occasions.Sixdrakes said:The manager at my local store in the Houston area told me they are next week.

Boo.
Any idea which night? And I gotta drive out to Ryan's liquor in Spring to get on their raffle list. Only chance to get these.

If you were at the one I attended last year, you would understand the reason they want all these on the same night. Saying it was a cluster **** is an understatement.Ducks4brkfast said:yeah would really suck as a business owner to have a crowd of people show up on multiple occasions.Sixdrakes said:The manager at my local store in the Houston area told me they are next week.

Wednesday or Thursday. They were waiting for corporate to nail down the date. Again, this is just what a store manager told me.AlaskanAg99 said:Sixdrakes said:The manager at my local store in the Houston area told me they are next week.

Just got a call that I can grab a GTS or 4R 130th at retail, but I have to chose. Anyone here have an opinion on that? I have an '18 GTS already but it's been my favorite historically.
Got the call for Handy, Stagg and RIP 10. I only went with GTS.
I'll take your GTS!!

It's a release of 950 limited cases. The secondary is all over the place. It's just sitting in my bar right now.

I saw they had some of the 3 blood oath sets like that at specs in college station on the shelf. $350 I think.

Would consider trades.
Don't tell the lady friend
I'll be driving back to college station the weekend of December 15th.
Would be willing to mule back ECBP at cost for interested parties in CS. Would probably need to meet that Sunday due to other obligations. Think only C918 is on shelves now. 65+tax

Going for $600 on BSM. Pretty quick turn.

Made it a point to spend frequently at some smaller shops this year hoping for a call on THH. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. I haven't decided if I'm ready to drop $350 on BSM to get one, or just keep paying $18 a glass at a bar whenever I need a fix.
You can't just sit back and wait for a call, you gotta call them and stay on them if you want a call when it arrives. They get a small number and dozens of people want the bottles. Squeaky wheel bro
For everyone getting calls for BTAC and other allocated stuff: Approximately how much do you spend per year at these shops?
It's really more about making friends and buying the good stuff when they have it, not just BTAC. Store picks, tastings etc. Then when you know it's coming, you call them and stop in all the time asking.
My local I go in once a week when I know the owner will be there and I spend about $50. He holds some stuff back for me but he has.other buyers who out spend me. So...work in progress.
It's crazy how much people spend on booze.
Course I drink mine and not jerk off to it on the shelf.

I also usually bring a sample bottle back of something new if I know the owner hasn't had it or isn't planning on keeping a bottle of the first case or two they get
