WP10, FRSB, or a pick if the restaurant/bar has one are my usuals. If I'm in the mood for scotch, Balvenie Caribbean or single barrel. In the past I've been fortunate in that the admin who booked the space overestimated how much we'd spend to the point we end up drinking BTAC and bottles of champagne in order to hit the minimum.

I don't know about "normal", but one company holiday party I attended last year had OWA 107 was the standard pour with a Pappy Lot B and a GTS available as options for neat pours. That was a great party!

What's your "company Christmas party" whiskey/bourbon?

Available at most higher end restaurants. Not "cheap", but not expensive enough to raise an eyebrow. Neat or on the rocks.


Depends on the bar and their pricing obviously, but I'd say ECBP, EHT SmB, and Pikesville rye should fit the bill. Should be 8-12 dollars a pour.

Thanks for the heads up on the Costco liquor shipments.

Swung by today at open and got a 4 Roses single barrel and baby Blantons single barrel select. Whoop!

Well I finally got the much awaited call for George T Stagg. Man it feels like Christmas. Told my wife watch the baby and I'll be back.





I think a part of me cried inside when they put the bottle of Stagg Jr on the counter.

Mr Patel's prices today at a local

$250 EC18
$200 Blantons
$150 EHT SmB
$100 ECBP

So you have some choices for liquor store shopping:
- follow tater social and be ready to drop everything to be first or fists at the places who sell at retail
- cigs and handys for your new BFF stock boy
- play the total wine lotto, helps to be able to aisle drive bys three times a day
- pay 2-4x markup

These are 'retail' according to a shop near me doing a raffle for chance to buy.

Picked up an ecbp and Henry McKenna 10 today. I'd call that a successful trip

Was this in Dallas or Houston? I went to two WBs in Dallas today and both were helpful, but said they haven't received anything yet. I called a third and the person answering was less than nice about it. One of the helpful people offered that Dallas isn't going to get any Pappy, but "should" get other BTAC, but had no clue when.

I didn't find anything and the worker said they hadn't gotten it yet but were expecting it any day now. Could even be later today. Pretty much a crapshoot.

Don't give up. ****ing keep going back! I'd be first in line again tomorrow honestly.

Well... it may not be as sexy but Stagg Jr. beat out GTS when my BiL and I did a taste off. I'm only excited about my GTS because it's BTAC and I plan to trade for a different BTAC bottle. I WON'T crack my GTS.

WB (Costco) in Pearland dropped theirs this week, as has been mentioned on here.

Employee this evening said they received theirs Wed morning and were instructed to put them out immediately when they opened.

He said they received just ab everything but only 1 ea. - PVW(s) WLW, THH, GTS. For whatever that's worth....

Sorry for the basic question, but when these drops go down are they at retail price or marked up heavily?

The WB drops would be retail. Not too many do that. Most have raffles for retail. Others just put it out marked up.
