I thought it was pretty funny how hypocritical they were, but also how annoyed you got, if that's even the right word.

Holy crap a Houston Bourbon Society bottle share?

Gonna be lots of wellers, wanna join me?

I was at a little bottle share last Saturday and I think Wade was trolling that group with some pics of our bottles. Cracks me up.

Also don't bring up empty bottles. Some people get very upset, very easily.

I feel like there's a good story here. Please share with the class!

Looking for a 2019 Michter's 10. Prefer to trade. I have Blanton's Gold amoung other things. I can meet in Houston or College Station.

---

What other bottles do you have? I'm on the west side of Houston. Feel free to PM me.

It's really not a great story. Just entertaining, with a "I know that guy from Texags," twist.

Someone posted a picture with a bunch of empty bottles, asking if anyone wanted to trade/buy/whatever. Not supposed to do it because people suck and will refill the nicer bottles to sell. Someone said something about not doing that, and the guy was jumped on. Then he started swinging. I don't know if it was bad enough to be taken down, or even that entertaining. It was a slow day for me.

Edit: Just found it again. Not even as exciting as I described it. Just funny at the time i guess.

A guy named Wade Woodard that like to troll bourbon noobs. He's not on here.

I'll admit I am somewhat new to the Bourbon craze. I will say proudly that I don't only go after the "popular" stuff. I buy everything to try and see what I truly like regardless of other opinions out there.

Anyways, it's my first bottle share and am curious as to what the etiquette is. Do you just bring open bottles you have sitting around or go out and buy something you either enjoy or looks interesting?

Thanks!

Make fun of something at Poison Girl and watch it explode.

Take whatever you want. Dont just drink what is perceived to be the best stuff there. Take an uber.

---

Good advice - thanks.

The only real tater bottles I haven't tried are W12 and OWA.

Right now I am thoroughly enjoying OF1920 & a Knob Creek SB Rye pick from Blind Pig.

Hahahaha thanks, guys. This will make the evening that much more entertaining especially when I have a few sips.

Have you tried the OF1910? It's an absolutely delicious easy-drinker. I haven't tried the 1920, but I think it's next on my buy list.

I'm a BIG fan of both the 1920 and 1910. Crazy to my how "unpopular" Brown-Forman is vs Buffalo Trace.

I have not, but I have been eyeing it!

My two favorite somewhat readily available bourbons right now are Old Forester 1910 and Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve. Just awesome bottles for $50-$55.

I agree, although it's getting very hard to find.

What was the warning? I doubt it's him. He's pretty well known across a lot of bourbon groups.

Anonymous,
Thanks for the ORVW, GTS, and THH!

Spec's corporate sent my neighborhood location a bottle of William Laure Weller barrel proof (not sure if they are all bp) to sell me for $118 (I am not an MFBarnes sock). I got the call this afternoon, and I just went and bought the bottle.

A brief google search shows secondary prices that are ridiculous. How much return on my investment can I expect if I want to sell to a local Austin buyer paying with cash?

I'm local Austin and would be willing to trade a combination of a few Weller 12, Rock Hill Farms and Elmer T Lee for it? Also have other bottles you might be interested in.

Thanks for the offer, but I am looking for cash on this transaction.

Gotcha, yeah not the same guy.

What's the boards favorite drinker these days? Something relatively easy to find that you keep stocked as opposed to one you break out special?
