like 07 said, if i come across EHT or ER or other 'harder to find' regular sippers at cost ill buy extras.

Still not on a Matt Chow level or anything.

Is he a hoarder? He seems like such a doochbag.

Hoarding hard to find bottles you will drink: way to plan ahead
Hoarding hard to find bottles and then reselling at high-prices: scum

Ok talked to my store contact - He wants me to write a proposal for the owners. I have a rough bottle count but what I really need to know is our preference on picks.

One of the owners of this store already travels to KY and will soon to make some other picks. I am trying to find a way for 3-5 of us on here to be able to get samples (mailed from the distillery) and pick that way....

Weller Full Proof is extremely hard to pick so if someone has an in or suggestion please PM me. I think that is the number one choice, but we need to determine 2-4. Since it appears we have interest in up to two barrels, please select from the following - (or feel free to add another suggestion). These are my preferences...

1) Russells Reserve Pick
2) Old Forester Single Barrel High Proof pick
3) Woodford Double Oaked Pick

I do believe Beam has stopped their Knob Creek Picks...

If someone can create a poll and link it with the above and other picks, that would be great.

I added the last few names to the list. I did put you on the list. I figure a couple people may back out once time comes to collect money.


Lots of people will back out when they realize we aren't getting our own barrel of Weller Full Proof.

I'd put Four Roses way ahead of the 3 non-WFP options. I've had some amazing Elijah Craig picks too

Any of those three would be outstanding

Agree with both of your statements.

I went looking for some old pictures he's posted to one of the FB groups. From what I remember he had shelves full of WFE, MMPS picks, and Jester King beers.

It would be cool if you could loop in Texags' media wing and somehow document the whole thing. I think their production studio is trying to branch out. Bourbon is obviously a hot topic. The process of making a store pick selection would probably be interesting as a short piece (<10 mins).

I think the Old Forster single barrel pick would be nice

I'd be happy with an EC, OF, MMPS, or even a WP10 if we could get into their 13 yo MGP stash.

EC is proofed too much after the selection. Defeats the purpose.

RR
4R
OF barrel proof

I also like MMPS but that's a whole different ballgame.

This thread is going to turn into a **** show (or more of one) if someone doesn't make a poll. Any nerdery folks on here?

I put together a quick Survey Monkey poll with the following:

  • Weller Full Proof
  • Elijah Craig
  • Four Roses
  • Woodford
  • Buffalo Trace
  • Old Forester BP
  • Makers Mark
  • Whistle Pig
  • Russells Reserve
  • Knob Creek
  • Jim Beam
  • Other (write in)

Can try that unless someone has a different suggestion. Couldn't figure out a way to limit it but I would suggest we limit it to top 3 per vote.

Take Weller full proof off. I think the assumption is if that's possible that would be the pick. I dont think it's possible. FWIW a bar owner I know who does lots of barrels told me last year BT wanted $30k for a barrel of antique if I remember right.

He has OF single barrel, high west, and jack single barrel picks.

Changed WFP to Weller Antique 107 or should we remove that all together?

Voted. If you can alter the quiz you may want to include a space for User Name so you match with people on the list.

Thanks for the suggestion. Updated the survey.

Also changed it to where if you have already answered the question and want to go back to add your username you are able to do so along with change your answer until the survey is closed.

Blanton's and EHT are harder to find but not as good as plenty of other bourbons.

That said, I'd buy a bottle of either one at retail price without hesitation and have done so.

What do you like better than Blantons and EHT for sub $100?
