Anybody familiar with Japanese whisky and know what this first picture is? A friend brought it over tonight and the only decipherable language was 2004 and 50% abv. I'll be honest I didn't like it as it tasted like plum and cherry.

I picked up the second bottle in Dallas last weekend and was told it is/was normally available only to wholesale to a few restaurants but COVID resulted in a few bottles available to this retail store. I was looking for some Yamazaki but I tried this tonight and liked it quite a bit. Any insight or knowledge on the Komagatake also appreciated.

I have multiples and I really like OWA and can't find another bottle. Blantons I am just collecting, have not tried it yet. Yes 80 paid at the store. I won some others in an auction.

Hey, you do you, don't worry about the other guy, he's not paying your whiskey tab.

Understood. I wouldn't trade my OWA for it but tempted to part with my backup bottle of Blanton's. I have 2 ECBP's tho. Love the hot (high ABV) batches of ECBP. I'll have to ruminate on it.

Thanks! Yeah ECBP is pretty good stuff. I have a couple of old label bottles left that I need to open before too long.

So GG in Dallas has been receiving allocated stuff and are purposefully releasing it on different days at different stores to stymie the taters. Good for them.

Never had much luck at GG with anything of note. Do you have to ask for it or is it on the shelves? Haven't been to a GG lately but might need to swing by a couple locations soon.

Always find stuff at the right GGs.

Yeah, getting insane. Can't even get what I want from my store. Have a hold on the next one I want.

Buddy just snagged a Blanton's Gold at total wine in Houston, BOLO in other locations (he was pretty sure he got the last one there)

Honestly the best bottle posted over the last few pages. And it's readily available everywhere!

Went to total wine in Corpus today. Picked up a Russell's Reserve Single Barrel store pick among other things.

I noticed that they had moved the Eagle Rare back to the shelves from behind the customer service desk. They had plenty available.

What are the thoughts on Maker's 46?

I'm a wheater fan and my local store usually has WSR available but they were out on my last trip so I picked this up as an alternative to regular Makers.

I'm really enjoying it.

It's not for me at all. I probably have one in the cabinet collecting dust. Even for old fashioned I didn't care for it.

It's decent. They add French oak staves before rebarreling standard makers. Honestly not good enough for the price jump. You can barely tell the difference IMO.

Agreed. For readily available bottles (for now), these are two of my favorites but I give slight edge to 1910.

Good luck on getting your hands on those. Prices have skyrocketed on both of them. WLW is going for 950 and ER 1200.

Just watched a guy buy a case of willet rye. It was sitting on a top shelf. He was nice enough to let me have one. Good day of hunting in DFW. Also got a total wine store pick 1776 full proof. They just dropped pallet loads of it. Be sure to get some, they are really nice.

Just bought another at Hulen TW. They got a bottom shelf full.

Will you drink it or will it sit next to your collection of unopened Blanton's?

Full on hunter mode now. Yes, I will be drinking them. This was all found this morning.

I figured the prices will be crazy. I haven't ever bought on the secondary but I owe him so if anyone had a lead it would be awesome
GarlandAg2012

Where are you located? I could probably source one at secondary prices from the private DFW Facebook group if you want to go that route. Happy to help you out if you want (I won't charge anything as middleman)

What is it? Those usually can be found on the shelf for awhile. Hasn't achieved cult status yet
