Scored a 2020 Laguna this week. Hopefully I like it after all the trash I talked about it.

People keep saying its really good. We will see.


I'd be curious what you think.

Trade for it? Find it in the wild? Paid secondary?
I traded a stagg jr and eagle rare for it. Finally found a person with a legitimate valuation instead of 600+...

Pulled the trigger on a Copper Tongue 16 today.

Anyone have any tasting notes on this one?

Elijah Craig Rye was on the shelves at Smith St Specs in Houston.

I haven't chased bottles in a couple years, so I'm not sure if the rye falls into the easy to find (Small Batch) or a nice surprise (Barrel Proof) category. Either way - just passing along the info. For $28, it gets my approval.

Longshot, I know, but anyone in BCS have an EH Taylor Single Barrel they'd be interested in selling?

Long story short, I'm here visiting and an amazing Aggie friend of mine is losing her Dad very soon. She was the first to gift us a bottle a long time ago & it's her favorite but mentioned she hadn't had it in years since the allocation & hoarding began (guilty....).

Anyway, if anyone has an extra bottle that they can part with, I'm in town until tommorrow afternoon/evening. It would be much appreciated. Please message me if so.

The 1.75L of WSR would be about right I guess....

What are everyone's favorite stores in Dallas? Preferably ones that don't immediately put a bottle at secondhand prices and tend to get some surprises here and there.

If they told you that they'd be everyone's favorites.

Angels and Loyalty are both excellent stores in the North Dallas area.

Relations, Relations, Relations. Get to know the employees on a personal basis.

Or you'll be the asshat that only sticks his head in the door asking "you guys got anything allocated in yet?" They will lie to you, tell you no and laugh after you leave.

About a week ago he still had two of the 23, the 12, and a 10 yo. I just can't justify $400 for the 23 right now. He does have an excellent scotch selection, and a handful of bourbons that even the Smith St Specs doesnt stock. He convinced me to try the Colonel E.H. Taylor, and I have really enjoyed the Single Barrel.
Funny to see the old posts in this thread a decade ago. The 23 year PVW is $4500+ secondary market right now.

Did Knob Creek make a bottle change in the last year or so?

I found a Knob 12, brought it home, placed it next to my other Knob 12 and thought - what the heck?

Older bottle is shorter and wider, with smooth glass. Newer bottle is taller and skinner with wavy glass on the back. I'll try to post a photo.

I noticed that too- weird dimpled bottle and a little bit taller.

I think I much prefer the older squatty no wave glass bottle. But if the juice is the same...

Knob Creek lost a glass supplier during the Rona, and the pebbled bottle was the result. They have changed their bottles a few times over the years, just never so drastically.

There's a mildly humorous conspiracy theory out there, that the pebbled variation came about in order to prevent whiskey clubs from putting tater stickers on the bottles. Having seen one clubs attempt to put a sticker on the newest bottle, I see the point. It looks awful.

Tater stickers?
Groups and clubs that buy a private barrel, often create a sticker to slap on the bottle to proclaim it as theirs. The stickers are often a knock off of something in pop culture. They occasionally result in a higher value on the secondary market, hence the term tater.

It is just an issue with the manufacturer. Many of the bottle manufacturers are located in China, which made it difficult to obtain bottle supplies during COVID.

Many of the bottles that we received from our bottle supplier also had way more bubbles and imperfections than normal. As long as the bottles were not chipped, cracked or broken, you filled the bottles because of the limited supply.
