Instead of spending money at Total Wine to get rejected, why not just pay secondary?

It's more useful than specs points unless you spend 10k+

Saw some math once that actually justifies buying secondary instead of trying to get points

Closest store to my house. I get a lot of good bottles there throughout the year at retail. It only takes about $200 of wine to get to their top level if you use their coupons.

Because I've won a lot and don't want to become friends with random Spec's employees.

Another rejection for me. I'll just live vicariously through the winners, just like I do after my Masters rejection email as well.

Well tbh, now that I'm working 8-5, inpatient therapy, my hunting days are over. Plus, all I really need is OLC.

Trying to practice what I preach and not drink as much, 50% of my patients have had their lives ruined by alcohol.

Sorry for trauma dumping on yall, please drink responsibly.

What's everyone's favorite notes and features about 1792 Full Proof?

I'll take down some notes and bring them to the pick this weekend.

Got my TW rejection.

Here in Austin for MotoGP. Would love to drop by OLC but a little too far out of the way.

We are looking for one more person to join us for the barrel pick at OLC on Saturday at 1:30PM. If you can make it, you are in!

If not, first person who can make it is welcome.

Trying to make the picks more community oriented. Hopefully inspire others to pursue barrel picks for TexAgs.

Congrats! Would share a sample of ORVW with you if I had it, but happy to share a sample of one of the allocated bottles I do have with you.

I have the '23 OF Birthday Bourbon which seems appropriate, but also some other great bottles if you prefer one of those. Just DM me.

If you came over right bow, I'd overfill your glen with ORVW.

Any notes/thoughts on the Garrison Bros Balmorhea?

For as much as I thought their regular old stuff was meh, I've really enjoyed the Guadalupe and the Honeydew. The stuff I've read online gave the Balmorhea very high marks - even at its price point. I've got just enough scratch left in my bourbon budget for the month to pick up a bottle this weekend if necessary.

If you wait you might be able to catch it on sale at the twin liquor dollar days. Some of the higher priced items are discounted a good bit.

The fact that you think Honey Dew is good is a little concerning.

But balmorhea got me into Garrison Brothers.

I'm telling you dude, Garrison Bros Single barrel cask strength and Cowboy Bourbon is their best offerings.

I'll give you a sample of it if you want. It's my second favorite GB behind Guadalupe.

You doing color Friday night?

I'm not super into heavy and forward oak/leather flavors on my bourbon. I might get there, but I'd say I'm still a little green - although I don't mind proof. As you know the regular GB stuff is pretty woodsy, at least it was to me. So, the Honeydew was my first GB product outside of their regular bottle. I liked that it was different so that's when I really started doing my research on the distillery and how they make their stuff.

I enjoyed the story about them dipping the cut staves in Texas honey then plunging it into the bourbon. I was a fan from there.

The Guadalupe is much more intense and complex. I really liked it a lot. I haven't seen Cowboy on any shelves in B/CS recently. I figured I'd go with a Balmorhea first since they seem to be pretty ready available for purchase around here.

I would try to get a sample first. If you got money to burn find you a Bardstown disco 11. They just hit the area.
