The green label straight rye is solid

Agreed - I've been a fan of their entire lineup to this point, but this one was a stinker on the neck pour. I'll have to come back to it in a few weeks and also try it in a cocktail to make a final decision

So, a couple people have reached out to me with their concerns about shipping. I ship bottles all the time, but with this heat wave in Texas.....I am going to tap the breaks a little.

Anyone have any advice on summer shipping? Is it better just to wait for the Fall? Or is it not as risky as I'm making it out to be.

I disdain shipping Blanton's in any weather.


How about the brakes instead?

I was looking and realized there are only two bottles on my shelf (besides a handle of WT101) that I personally purchased from a liquor store since 2020.

open 4R BS.
2019 Little Book

Everything else is through TexAgs…

This is the bourbon wasteland that is Houston (and I'm not willing to hunt in these conditions).

Most of my purchases over the last year, have been Texags or a local groups pic. If I stumble across something "allocated", then it is just gravy.....

I loved 8...9 is not 8. It's super weak on the sherry and really lacks a finish.

I walked into a shop this morning. I saw a Stagg Jr in a display case priced at $199.99.

That seems high especially since the MSRP is about $40-60, but I'm wondering what is the typical secondary rate for Stagg? The online shops are starting at $299.

230-250 secondary so 200 is a good price

I've paid between 225-275 for each secondary SJr bottle I've gotten

After tax it's pretty close to secondary now

I went back and got the Stagg. Ended up being $216 w/tax. He offered me a EH Taylor Single Barrel for the same price (presuming that his distributor was going to deliver one in a couple of days).

Do not take that EHT SiB at that price.

EHT SiB is running around 180 on secondary, and they're pretty hit or miss depending on the barrel. Just my opinion, but there's better stuff at that price

Nah.

I don't know what I would get off the shelf for $200 honestly.

Check out this gem. My buddy's neighbor got this from his great grandma. It was in the back of her cabinet. Look at the date. Prohibition era bottle

That's incredible. Belongs in a museum.

Prohibition didn't end until December of 33. They were bottling earlier in the spring just building inventory?

Read the box on the side. It has RX on there so it could only be sold at drug stores during prohibition

That's an incredible find, in such good condition.

I don't know how much that would be worth, but I'm sure it's got a lot of zeroes

Looks like a similar one sold at auction for $2,100 last year. His appears to be in slightly better shape, so maybe $2,500 is the number. It's just so cool

Tell him to drink it. I'm currently sipping on some 1955 Chapin and Gore. Delicious.

I might have a friend interested in buying it. How do you get in touch with the guy to make an offer?

Cool. If he's really considering selling I think my buddy would make him a good offer. Send me a DM if you find out he's interested.

Thanks! In Houston for the weekend and the local specs has a way better selection that most stores in SA.

Managed to also snag a Rare Breed and SW UCUF.

Saw a Woodford's Masters Collection (128.3) on the shelf earlier. What's the story on these? I've never seen one.
