I'd be in for a case or two depending on what we're picking!

How would we get the bottles? Could the person picking up ship them?

Big pick up meet up?

This will not happen. It is shippers responsibility for damage and it is illegal so I can see nothing but issues. I say we all meet. In college station for photo op and pickup. I'm in Fort Worth.

I'm still not sure exactly how this works, if they need money upfront, etc. I do have an idea though.

I have a buddy from high school that now owns a liquor store in a small town in central Texas. Since we do know that it has to run through a liquor store we could just do it through his store, pick everything ourselves, label and barrel and everything. Then he just holds the bottles for all of us and doesn't bring out a bottle for someone unless they mention this thread. We get our barrel, his small town store gets to sell ~200 bottles at MSRP, everyone is happy. I am sure there are many details to workout but this seems like the easiest solution to me right now.

When we do it with the local bourbon society, we run it all through a liquor store. We provide a list of who has claimed them. After a certain time, she's free to put them on the shelf or sell them to her preferred customers.

It seems like we have a ton of interest. Should we do more than one barrel if we get all the details figured out? Still a lot of figure out but I think this is a great idea.
What if we did more than one distillery? Maybe one barrel from Beam, one from 4 Roses, and one from Buffalo Trace? Then we'd all get a mix of unique bottles...

The more I think about this - the cooler it sounds!

What the dong said. There are probably way too many people making decisions to have anything happen. I hope it does because that would be *********badass. A "We Know Things" sticker would be awesome too.

I'm either 3 or 4 deep in a store pick RR. *********tasty.

I'd be in. I am friends with a local liquor store manager. I would want something I cannot normally get (Full Proof pick, W107 pick) or a Russell's Reserve pick, Knob, Elijah Craig pick) in that order.

I am in DFW. I would not mind helping coordinate but I would need to ask if its something we can do. Surely someone else here has friends also....

Maybe we can arrange for samples to be sent to DFW and Houston and have gatherings (tastings) and vote on the picks...

Hot nose. Not nearly in the class as my Rye Cask, but still solid. Lots of herbal notes for a rye. Enjoying it neat.

Guys. I'm willing to do most of the legwork here. I will call buffalo trace and see what is needed. We will get a Full proof Barrell if possible. The part that worries me is the negotiation of price with local distributor and store.... that could be tough. Here is what we need.

1. Person with contact to allow us to ship to. Prefer CS.
2. Agreement from TexAgs to use there name on the selection. I don't think the official non beveled ATM is happening.
3. I will make a list based on response already, I would ask for payment via VM or PPFF at time of purchase to reserve.
4. We meet to uncork our tasty Weller and have a good party. Remaining bottles can be mulled to major hubs from there for pickup. I have Fort Worth covered.



More to come.

Ok I created a TexAgs Bourbon Group on facebook. We are going to try and use that as an easier way to communicate. Im thinking we will need to create a poll of some sort to figure out what barrels would be the most popular. I would love to get a Weller Full Proof but I think there needs to be some back up plans in place
