Not sure what don't break the bank is for you. It seems to be different for everyone.

Those are my go to bourbons always in the cabinet and easy to find. I think they range in price from $30-$60.

Local store has had a bunch of the lower proof bottles sitting on the shelves for weeks. Randomly stopped by and they had this one hiding behind a 104 proof. May be able to grab another one, working with my guy to see if he has any other barrels over 120 proof. Would be willing to grab one for someone else if they're interested/can make it down to SA eventually.

Great snag.

I actually like the lower proof ones more! I was surprised at that, but the 104 proof beat the 124 proof HTH for me.

You can always proof down.

1oz @124p needs .19oz to reach roughly 104p.

Just don't use tap water or carbonated topochico.

It's not the burn. I like high proofs. It's the taste and the finish.

I will definitely take one if you can snag one! Please and thank you.

I'd be interested in the 130 plus proofers

Disregard. This looks like a government range.

Has anyone tried Treaty Oak Ghost Hill SiB finished in White Wine Barrels yet? Should be interesting to see how it compares to their other offerings (which I'm not too fond of) and other Texas bourbons.

Oh and I emailed Garrison Bros requesting to do a Single Barrel pick and they basically said to piss off.

They only work with stores/commercial outlets. So I'll have to network a little. I could probably use OLC again.
If people showed legit interest in doing a barrel pick I think we could get some traction there. We have connections to the master distiller. Ive heard there are talks about Garrison Bros being purchased by another company also.

Gotcha! Yeah there are a few units in Round Rock. The military has facilities in places you'd least expect them.

Thanks Agdent07,

Yeah, I was after a high proof bottle and make it a charity bottle as well. Proceeds would go to Blue Skies Foundation and we could dip the wax in the foundations main colors (blue and red). Obviously, can be a different organization or charity, but I think it would be a wonderful way to generate some good funds for a good cause. We could tack on a few more dollars to each bottle or Garrison could work with us on that as well.
