Take care of them and they'll take care of you.

Like all other things in life.

Don't always ask for bourbon when you come in.

Practice your active listening skills and see what motivates them. What are their life pleasures? Just like we do business with foreign businesses, you don't want to get down to business right away.

Don't be afraid to buy bottles they suggest every now and then. Even if it's something disgusting, pretend you haven't heard of it before and say "thanks for the suggestion, good looking out!"

Go beyond your self interests and ask the employee if there anything he/she is really enjoying right now. Build the rapport even further by going home with the mixers and spirits they suggested and make it that night. Return to the store later in the week and say "hey man, I tried making that drink the other night and it was fantastic! Or I think I may have done something wrong because it didn't come out that great, any suggestions?"

Before you know it, that employee will be offering you allocated bottles or asking if you want something from the back. And if you really want to show appreciation, if he hooked you up with a really rare bottle, crack it later that night and pour them out a sample.

At the end of the day, be respectful and courteous.

It would have to be, I don't think any of the batches are that proof. Unless it's a new batch I haven't seen.

If Stagg has a hand written proof, it's a store pick.

Super jealous. I love RHF but it isn't worth secondary pricing to me. Never seen it at retail at a store, and if it comes to Spec's here in Dallas, they'll release it in the middle of the day on a work day, or give it to buddies.

I'll tell you this. After cracking it I found something odd about it I've never experienced. That swish dries out your whole mouth while it's still wet. Unique for sure. I've had some 65ish percent stuff and never experienced that.

Fruity/spice taste.

that drying characteristic is interesting, happens with some other expressions that are generally considered very oaky

so would you recommend it and, if so, what kind of value do you think it has? i have a lead on one, but need to figure a reasonable price/trade value if i decide to pull the trigger.

Awesome.

If I win a barrel, the only way I could be "Ready to Buy" is through the power of TexAgs.

obviously depends on ultimate yield, but they estimate $11,100 for EHT SiB and $8,750 for WFP

Thank you.

So not cheap, but can float it long enough to do the deal.

You don't have to buy the whole barrel. Between friends, Texags, or even the retailer you go through - you can get what you want.

With how highly desired lots of those brands are, retailers would LOVE for you to leave some for them!!

You wouldn't have to pay anything up front!

"After we bottle your barrel, your bottled spirit and empty barrel are shipped to a local retailer. You'll purchase directly from your local retailer at this time, payment due upon delivery."

By the time it hit your liquor store, you would have all the money collected from TexAgs users already in your bank account.
