Yeah it's great. At $100 it still a buy but not something I'll grab often. Once they marked it down to 70 that is a whole different story, espe.cially at 7x points. I'm just waiting for them to drop the price on the rum cask finish now.

Bought this for $50 at Costco two weeks ago thanks to Texags.

Great pour.

Edit: misspelled pour. What is wrong with me

Great poor.
I've tried the small batch some time ago but never the barrel proof. Will give it a spin.

It's my first quality wheated bourbon and I really like it.

Drinking a glass of my new riff single barrel right now.

Anyone else snag a Hell Diver? Got one in a raffle and am waiting to crack it until some reviews pop up. Found North is 10/10 on their other bottles.

The BP is incredible. I grab every release and they haven't disappointed.

Glad I already have one and a half bottles of Larceny A124.

Road tripped to Iowa today. Went to a bar for a nightcap and saw a Stagg Jr bottle. They charged me $14 for a 1.5 oz pour. Would've got a double but they were already closing down. I'll have to check the local stores and see what's available.

It's good and appropriately priced. I orefer the ECBP a bit more. But they cost more.

For MSRP great bang for the buck.

I need more ECSP in HTX.


And before new taters get excited, this is 94p.

After discussing with the pick team, the Garrison Brothers Cask Strength Single Barrel will be offered to those who have participated in the most TexAgs picks.

The yield is only 48 bottles. You will receive an email at some point in late June asking if you would like one. I will announce here when the email goes out.

Cheers!

I'd recommend allocating some portion of that 48 to a raffle or lottery. from the normal sign up thread.

i get rewarding those folks who consistently participate, and support that but if that becomes then standard then it makes it really difficult for new folks to get to that level. i also think it creates a system where people feel they may have to buy something they don't want just so they can be eligible for stuff in the future, which then create a different type of supply problem for newer folks as well.

Great idea. I will set aside a few for a raffle here.

Concur! Another suggestion might be that for future picks like this that are super limited, NOT counting other super limited picks in the total number of picks in which a user has participated. It risks becoming a vicious cycle.

As always, big shout out to AT and the other folks on here who help make these picks happen! Please remember that this team (especially the mules) do this for free to give all of us a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labors.

Some barrels are super limited and it can be tough to miss out, but I'm sure if you link up with another Ag who got one that they would love to share a pour and some stories. Things like this are only possible because of the community on this board, so let's keep it a great place to learn and try great bourbon together.

Given the lack of GB love over here, not many people should be too upset by this one being limited

FS - GB TA pick
ISO - WLW
No other trades.

Obviously sarcastic. Thankful for the work they put in - the picks have been great! Still love that RC Spanish oak… I'm milking it just a hair longer before it's gone

If I qualify for the GB pick, I will allow someone else to have it.
I have only had a couple of their bottles. Why, you might ask?
Because the worst alcohol that has ever touched my tongue was a bottle from them and I can't get over it. Not just bourbon...but every alcohol I have ever had.
$110 bottle that I was gifted (thank the Lord I didn't buy it!). I keep it on my shelf to have fun with others. It is worse than swill mixed with vinegar.
As one review said, "it tastes like grass clippings and toenails aged in a cadaver"

This is a very drastic statement.

I said that this is a very one off barrel yielding only 48 barrels. If rewarding all the day one guys and gals with a limited release doesn't seem right to you, then that sounds like a personal problem.

The Russell's Reserve, 1792 Full Proof Pick and Old Forester picks will be open to the entire board. As me and others have done over numerous picks over the last few years.

Let's lose the sense of entitlement.

Didn't realize it was just for this one pick.

But let's not be dramatic and say it's a sense of entitlement. Just an off-hand comment.

Edit: and I have to have my pick sent to me since I'm out of state. So I will only really grab a pick once in a blue moon (if I'm fortunate)

I can't comment on the quality of GB stuff, though i hear the newer releases are much better but this line is ****ing hilarious.
