Smoke wagon private barrell.

Any good? Buddy got some a few weeks ago. Neither of us cared for it. I'm not understanding the hype at all.

Okay. Decided to go Early Times BiB instead.

I think this is the perfect bourbon for the term "bright".

Enjoying it.

Old school butterscotch bomb? I would've been a complete alcoholic if I knew this stuff existed when I was a young man. Only discovered it much later in life.

Me? Nothing special tonight. Poured some Jefferson's Ocean Cask Strength voyage 7. Then a pour of a small batch Jefferson's reserve. Zero remarkable about either.

Appropriate bottle choice for my voting preference.

I cracked mine open a couple months ago. Not bad. Can't recommend. But I agree with the vibe. I was in a meh mood for my selections tonight too.

Somehow still underrated, and I'm glad.

Those of y'all choosing Turkey, ever had a OF birthday offering?

---

This is dumb. I'm not picking a brand based on a bottle myself and most others will never even get a sniff at. It's like saying "ever had Pappy?!" and picking BT based only on that. If you're going to pick a brand it better be readily available. Of those listed it would probably be WT for me or Beam if I'm allowed Knob Creek products. Those are all good brands tho. I've got bottles of all that I enjoy on the regular.

---

I guess my point was that OF has plenty of readily available at all price ranges that are really good, but also has the top end stuff, that even if rare, puts it over the edge for me. But as you said, it's all good stuff. Can't really go wrong.

Fair enough. WT has Master's Keep that's easier to come by than BD Bourbon. Advantage WT.

OFBB is highly overrated anyway.

Where do you get barrel proof Blantons? Is that a dumb question?

SFTB can be had on the secondary for $200-250. Not sure how to get it at MSRP.

It's only available overseas, although, they are going to start selling it stateside in the near future like they did with blantons gold.

Anyone familiar with Tahwahkaro?

Still haven't opened it yet. Haven't drank in a few weeks.

Anyone know of any four roses barrel picks on any shelves around Texas? I'm not real picky, but would love to find an OBSV.

As a side note. I wish there was a way we could have a running list amongst Texagers that indexed barrel picks around the state. It would be a cool heads up to folks traveling the state to make a worthwhile stop here and there. If we had enough participation, it would make for a fun Saturday to day trip around picking up bottles here and there.

It's not the most active group, but there is Texas Barrel Selections on Facebook

definitely. Weller SR is the best around that price range but I absolutely love an Early Time BIB. Have you tried Old Tub? It is surprisingly good and can be found anywhere from $13-$18 dollars. Found mine for $13.

Picked up a KC 12 today

I'd probably spend $400 on a THH if I saw one sitting on the shelf for that much.

I just went with Old Weller 1.75, and a fifth of BT.

I thought it was crazy when I went into another independent about 5-6 yrs ago and he had Pappy 15 for $599, 20 for $699, and 23 for $799.

Compared to my new store, the old store was a bargain. Geez.

Thanks.

Stagg Jr for $79 today. Didn't think that was bad.

I'd pay that.

Liquor store asked me what it was worth. $50. I am paying a premium to do you a favor. Pissed me off. Like they didn't know how to price secondary market prices.

Maybe I'm a cheap ass then. The Thomas Handy may have been competitive, but I just can't get over dropping $200-250 on a bottle of any of these. Maybe Pappy I'd go over that, but when they said $1,500 for the Sazerac 18, I just laughed and grabbed the usual.

I actually thought about the $200 Blanton's for a second but even then I feel like I'm getting screwed.

Like I said, maybe I'm just cheap.

I hear ya. Its a tough price point when you go over $100/bottle. That is consistently the best Sazerac Rye IMO. Pretty good and flexible. And $200 for Blantons is stupid.

Whiskey hunting lesson of the day: Make friends at liquor stores! A guy I met one time at Total Wine and exchanged numbers went on a multi-state hunt and brang me back some goodies. Met up today and paid him back at cost + lunch at Rudy's. How cool is that?! Really nice guy and new permanent whiskey friend.

That is a nice haul!
