Tx4guns - if your deal above doesn't work out, let me know, I might be willing to part with a 10

joshwayne,

My email is in my profile. My buddy is looking for one.

I guess I will play along...

Get to know your neighbor - Bourbon Thread Ed.


- Age and location? Dirty 30's in H-Town

- Favorite bourbon of all time? Pappy 15

- Daily pour? SB Blend, dusty OGD, Bernheim OWA, Pappy, BTAC, Elmer T Lee, FR Roses Small Batch

- Neat, w/rocks, water, coke, etc? Mostly neat, but occasionally a cap full of water if necessary or 1 rock depending on the proof. When mixing with coke, I only use a Styrofoam cup. No need to waste the expensive stuff with coke, so I usually mix with W12

- Favorite bourbon cocktail? Old Fashioned

- Bourbon you're on the hunt for? Dusty S-W

- In your opinion, most overrated bourbon? Sorry, I have to go with a whiskey, not bourbon - Crown Royal

- Most underrated bourbon? I am pretty sure a lot of great $22-$30 bourbons have been pointed out, but I will go with Evan Williams 1783 based on its $12 price tag.

50/50 or adjust to taste? I tried a 70/30 I am really enjoying.

Currently drinking a 60/40 that has been mingling for a few months.

Speaking of SB blend, why would PVW discontinue 10/90 in favor of the 107 when you could stretch the 90 further and still sell everyone of them in a minute?

Because Julian and Preston are actually good people in favor of providing the best product rather than watering it down. It's that simple.

Picked these babies up today!

^^^open up that Stagg and let us know how it tastes...

Picked up a bottle of 10 and 12 today... along with a bottle of Handy.

They hadn't even inventoried their shipment yet, but the bottle of 23 was already sold.

Got this today. 4/5 of the 2013 BTAC are mine so far. Need a Saz 18.

My guy told me he had 4 ER today but some lady came in and bought all 4...said she was going to surprise her husband for the next 4 months...lucky guy.

had some of these last time I was in College Station as well..pretty tasty.

Nice, got the ER17 yesterday but I'm only sitting at 3/5. No WLW or Saz18. Struck out on a bottle of VW10 this afternoon. Know the guy had some but he wouldn't even admit to getting any in this year.

Nice pick-ups everyone.

I heard that Houston only got 6 bottles of Saz 18, and Specs DT got them all.

Anybody do a SBS yet with this years stagg and a stagg jr? I would be interested in your thoughts. I'm gonna do mine tomorrow.

Haven't done that yet, but it should be night and day difference. Maybe I should do it tomorrow as well.

On a side note, anybody have a WLW '13 they would be willing to trade for a ORVW10??

You might get a 2:1 offer on that trade. WLW is pretty tough for people to let go of.

May have a 23yr on the trade block for the 20yr and Rye

No dice on the 2:1. Come on now, ORVW has a cult following, LOL.

The Saz 18 and WLW is very tough to come by. I have been looking for weeks. I know the Sazerac 18 is gone... no more coming out. The same may be true for WLW, but I haven't gotten word on that one yet.

I have folks pounding the street in other states. I know I have a source for Pappy, but won't get a price check until later today. Not sure about WLW, but will find that out later today also. Will buy extra WLW if possible.

Can anyone tell me what they have paid for Pappy 23? I have heard prices all over the map. I was expecting somewhere around $250, but I haven't seen it that low anywhere.

Pappy 23 ranges from $280-$400. $250 is a steal!

$250 is about the normal retail price.

I have yet to find a place that is selling for the suggested retail prices this year, even Specs is over...

Yeah it seems everyone is over on prices on pappy this year

AggieMike found a store selling ORVW 10 for $43.

^^
Good find... Everywhere I've seen it its been $65

Picked up a JJB Virginia Single Barrel yesterday at Specs downtown. Good but hot!

As DryFly posted, I've paid all over the board for 10 year. From $43 all the way to $109. The store that had the 10 year for $43 also sold me a 12 Lot B for $59.

At my stores I've seen the 10 yr from $69 - $110. Every store is different and they'll sell it for what they can get for it. Free market principles at work in the real world.

Got my Saz 18 today! 5/5!
