Wow. Didn't know this thread existed.


I recently started following this thread. My bank account has taken some hits lately.
Yep. I'm a bourbon beginner, no doubt. Since following both this and the Bourbon Trading thread, I've gladly parted with at least a grand.

And let me stress the word gladly.

An all time gif. If you aren't scared to go home to your wife after buying bottles, then you aren't doing it right!

LOL, we have a business and my wife buys everything for the business and us. She is our chief procurement officer. There is no doubt what joint checking means in our house. I am in charge of deposits and she is in charge of withdrawals.

She has spent more on my bourbon than I have, as she knows the best prices on the secondary market.

I can't complain.

Well, since I'm 100% a rookie to bourbon, I don't disagree.

I know. I hated to give them any credit after what I saw on Tuesday inside their ballpark, but that cask strength was pretty tasty.

I really need this new distillery in Bryan to start pumping out good barrels once their stuff matures enough to put on the market. I've had some of their early stuff, and it's promising

I stopped in Friday. Their rye should come out in 2026 is what I was told. Their white whiskey is pretty good, and their gin was actually drinkable.

A friend came in from out of state so we're drinking all the things.

That's the one! Best ever

Like others, I would love to find my own bottle for $200 but that's really hard to do

I've only had the 2023 and it was fantastic. I got to try the '19 WLW last month and it was the best bourbon I've ever had. Can't wait to get a bottle of either… one day…

That's a good year. GTS has always been my #1. My first introduction to good bourbon was this pour. Kind of like saying the first baseball player I ever saw was Babe Ruth.

The Boss Hog 9 is second, a close second.

Still got some work to do on the room but got the shelves done and bottles moved over.

Cherish the rest of that Blue Spot, the new retail pricing is absurd.

I saw that. Went from $120 to $300!! WTF!

Yeah, I like Blue Spot a lot, but there are a lot of other things I'd much rather have for $300. That's just an outrageous price.

That's a small part of it, but it sounds like the Irish distilleries caught on to the American secondary market and just decided to jack up all their pricing. It's most evident in the high end stuff - Redbreast 27 went from $350 retail to $1,000 in the last three years, but the difference between batch 4 and 5 is crazy - $400 jump in less than a year.

You can get them in the UK at proper retail (like $120 US) That's why secondary is cheaper than retail by $150 haha.

Aren't you the one that went from a few bottles to all this in about 2 years?

Crazy.
I haven't even tried most of those bottles and I have been drinking bourbon for decades. Impressive.

Yeah. About 2 years now when I started collecting

Don't do it to yourself. Just drink what you can find when you wander into a liquor store with no hope, like us olds. We just drink something in the top 25% of what is left on the shelf.

Honestly though, there is a lot of good bourbon out there to be found. I just don't hunt like most folks on this thread. They treat it like a PT job.

Me and the wife were looking for houses before our move. We looked at one that was pretty ugly and out of date but it had this badass basement that included a huge bar with cool lighting and wood paneling.

I was obviously into it but she vetoed
