Anybody passing through Cuero, Ranch House had several Eagle Rares on the shelf, but no price with it. I didn't ask price. Also had the following if you're willing to pay secondary at a retail store:

Blanton's - $135
Blanton's Gold - $270
Stagg B18 - $190

I'm a beer guy, but had a good time here.

Easily my favorite distillery we visited in April!

So, you are obviously in Loretto (sp) that is a bit out of town. Kudos! Great tour/tasting. Willett, Heaven Hill, and Woodford Reserve are also awesome!!! Try Inependent Stave Co also.

hah, no that's my valuations based on secondary history for those

I think you are pretty close on the last 2. Already been offered more on the PVW.

Not many folks have seen the WFE because I luckily bought it from the Willett gift shop that day that Drew released it.

---

"I've already been offered more on the PVW"

Oldest trick in the book. Are you just fishing around for a higher offer?

---

No, I don't operate like that.

---

I think one thing he's getting at is that you've already turned down offers above 4500, so you know how much you want for it. May as well post your asking price on the trading thread

Guys, maybe fair crtitism. Let me explain. I don' t care to chase high dollar bourbon anymore. I have relationships with local liquor stores. Don't care. Done. I admitted to having competing interests.

I am an Aggie. I am not here to screw other Aggies. I am not here to take advantage of other Aggies. I am simply trying to unload high end bourbon to a mutual advantage. I apologize if my intentions were misconstrued.

Reminder to myself to give you a number. Or vice Versa.

To demonsrate this, I will provide a bottle of ECBP to someone in NOLA for$70. I eat the tax.

Nice assortment there. ECBP vs WLW blind will be fun

Edit, misread that. I think that would be a fun blind to do, still

WLW or EC12 would be my guess for top finishers. What Treaty Oak is that hiding in there?

Fun times

I'll post the results of the blind later this evening. It's 6 different ryes. Then getting into other pours.

Don't want to ruin the surprise for some posters coming over!

BVBS meeting tonight with a presentation from Pursuit United.

Those wood finished series are very tasty.

Tease

I'm excited. I haven't tried any of them.

Well then you may be in... trouble

Another list I didn't make.

It's bourbon night! Cheers.

Doing a blind rye tasting then digging into some other stuff.

No doilies?

I bet the crackers are stale too

Ruining current ECBP for everyone

Dude you didn't save me a pour?

I have another one ready to go for you!

Great view, where is that?

We just left/got home today.

It's a crazy drive up Imogene pass.

Blind Rye Results:

1. Knob Creek Rye 115 Proof Total Wine Store Pick

(This surprised a few people. And I threw it in last minute. It's a $56 bottle at Total Wine collecting dust.)

2. Hughes Belle of Bedford Pure Rye

(Never had this until last night but it was great)

3. New Riff Malted Rye 6 Years

4. Midwinter's Night Dram Act 7 Scene 5

(I thought this would rank higher but it's probably just too hot right now. More of a fall/winter pour)

5. EHT Straight Rye
(Sad face. I love this juice though. Most people said it just fell flat on the finish and lacked flavor.)

6. Treaty Oak 132.6 Proof 12 Year Schenley Rye

That Knob is some good stuff. Surprised MWND finished so low.

Neat! I'll have to check it out; Imogene is usually a drive we make annually, but it was still closed two weeks ago.

edit: Did you post about it anywhere else or post photos? Seems like a neat place to stay, but not a lot of info or photos on their website.
