That's one of the hotter takes I've seen in a minute. I've only heard good things about itGoodest Poster said:Tylerjo97 said:
This quarter's Total Wine priority access has Heaven Hill 17, Old Fitzgerald 19, Michter's 20, Yamazaki 18, and Blade & Bow 22. I've never had the chance to taste any of these, any suggestions?
M20 by a mile, Blade and Bow 22, HH17, Yam 18 and ask if u can swap Fitz19 for a Blantons. It smells like vomit and tastes slightly better.

Blanton's and Blanton's barrel select are also options and I wasn't a fan of Blade & Bow so I am hesitant to put the B&B 22 on the list.Goodest Poster said:Tylerjo97 said:

I didn't get the email yet - in SA and a grand reserve member. The Rim is my store (not really - but that's in my profile).
Same happened to me but I was able to sign up here
https://www.totalwine.com/spring-whiskies-and-bourbons-grand-reserve
i'm surprised that immediately after submitting my selections, i didn't get an email telling me that unfortunately, i was not selected
You're the man, thank you!
No problem! Good luck! Hopefully someone here gets something good.
I agree. Still haven't got the email.
I hope so. I enter fully knowing I won't get chosen… like the guy above said I'm surprised they didn't just reject me at the submission part
Michters 20 is so good. Would be an absolute grail bottle. Forgot to go buy enough wine to be qualified for this drawing so I'll have to wait for next quarter

Just spend $250 on winery direct wines with the 10x points multiplier deal and you're all set for the year.
FYI: the 10x points is currently on until 4/13

They actually now run this 1x per month. It's pretty easy now to get it with all those multipliers they run.

My crew and I all think the Spanish Oak is better than RC16. Hands down. Great juice for about $60 too!
Flame away.
Okay. Bought Spanish Oak yesterday and it is really good. Dangerously smooth and nose is like a rich chocolate/vanilla porter. Plenty on shelf and buying more today.
Yep, very easy to do. Just forgot to do it so far this year.
Hey, happy to help. I'm really glad everyone is enjoying it!
Anyone still able to get ECBP A123 now? I still can't find it. I think I'm SOL
As i was finishing up my lunch I got a drop email from ABC. I just happened to be literally right next door to the store i frequent. Was the second person through the door and was excited based on posts i've seen of recent drops (Stagg, EHT SB, etc.). walk up to the register and they had McKenna 10 and a 1.75 of Buffalo Trace and only about a box of each behind the counter.
Of course it is just my luck that the one drop i am at the perfect spot to catch is the worst one I have seen. Typically it is 18 or so bottles each of around 4-6 different products. Granted I haven't seen a 1.75 bottle of Buffalo Trace in probably a decade but its still just Buffalo Trace. Grabbed a bottle of McKenna 10 and left.
Walking out of the store i was chatting with the guy in front of me who commented "I just bought something because i felt like i had to" to which i responded same. A couple of dudes walked in and immediately turned around, i'm guessing to try and see if another store close by had something different.

McKenna 10 can be a super good bottle though, I'd be happy to find that.
It's not a unicorn, but it is super tasty.

I'd be much more excited for it if it was still 28 bucks. At 60 i start to thinking there are things sitting on the shelf i might enjoy more, which begins to temper the excitement some. It is good and i'm happy to have bought it but it's just not something i was hoping for if that makes sense.
Honestly i'm more excited to try the RC Spanish Oak as that is an actual unicorn here.

Where are you located? TW may be able to ship to you
Im in Virginia. TW is just wine and beer here.
On a similar note i did put in for three bottles in the Texags RC pick. If someone is willing to send me two of them i will give you one as compensation.

Shoot I'll do that. I'll cover shipping.
I thought the 104 proof was awesome. I'm hoping 124 is next level!
I am desperately looking for a 120+ proofer. Any chance there were backups that you could snag and trade for a bottle from barrels 8, 9, 10, 14, or 16?MarathonAg12 said:

Someone just posted one on Facebook 128 proof for 350
I'm off Facebook/Instagram/Twitter for Lent... and I'm really only looking for trades, not straight cash.FTAC2011 said:

So not that desperately looking. No worries I'll let you know if I see anyone trading one.
Most of my "looking" has been actual looking - i.e. going to liquor stores in person hahaFTAC2011 said:William Larue Weller said:I'm off Facebook/Instagram/Twitter for Lent... and I'm really only looking for trades, not straight cash.FTAC2011 said:

Picked up a bottle of Penelope Toasted. Really enjoying this sipper

What's the proof on those barrels?
The toasted bourbon or the toasted rye? I have had a few Total Wine store picks of the toasted rye and I think it is fantastic, as do a few of my buddies.
The toasted bourbon. Picked it up at longhorn liquor at Shepherd and 11th
A toasted rye sounds really intriguing.
I'll post the details on the toasted rye when I get home from work. Well worth keeping an eye out for a bottle.
All between 100 and 105. 8 is 104.1, 9 is 102.3, and 10 is 100.8. 14 and 16 are hopefully soon being acquired in a trade, but 14 is 103.1 and 16 is 104.5.MarathonAg12 said:William Larue Weller said:I am desperately looking for a 120+ proofer.
