I did the same when I stumbled across it a few weeks ago. Fun seeing it all come together in one place. I found it looking for barcode scanning inventory options. Whiskey folk needed it for awhile now.

I was also putting together a list of additions/changes I'd love to see. Been a whiskey nerd too long, but also spent the last 10 years designing apps for large companies, so figured I'd offer them help and ideas.

-Would love a way to differentiate store picks.
-Add notes when entering new bottles.
-A way to add year of bottle.
-Have a way to enter price paid if different from msrp

Just some details that would be nice to have plus some other stuff.

It would also be pretty cool if you can thumbs up and thumbs down bottles you own.

And have some algorithm in the background that can recommend other bourbons to you based on what you like and how that correlates with others.

Yep. I haven't cracked it yet though.

Nice! Hoping to check my local spots this weekend to see if they've gotten it yet. Sounds right up my alley.

Is it BP, 100, or 115?

The BP Rye they had was good but I only see highest 115 now in stores and don't think it's worth the upcharge.

I believe it's 100 proof, but may be off on that.

I was going to wait until Friday to crack this. But, what the heck - it's Thursday and 5 o'clock somewhere.

By the way - so far, it's pretty good.

Had this at a tasking a couple weeks ago. Fantastic "traditional bourbon," flavors. Need to pick up a bottle.

Blantons came in at a store near me. Price is a bit too high for my taste though.

you have a local store selling imports? Are they buying from private owners under a vintage spirits law or something?

Zero clue.

Picture is from the email I got from the store owner.

Edit:

Apparently he gets these monthly

Doing some searching there is an importer's license in CO. There was a proposal last year that was discusses striking a part of the law that would prevent stores from getting a license. I haven't found where it was actually approved yet.

Edit - they are probably skirting something, either the law or an agreement with them selling stuff intended for other markets. Obviously the correct action in this case is blackmail.

Which one of these are imports?

And more importantly and they worth grabbing?

I would honestly be tempted at the SFTB for $250. I paid $150 for mine 8 or so years ago, and it was outstanding. If you like Blantons and you like higher proof bourbons, that price isn't astronomical. Wouldn't pay the other prices by any stretch, but the STFB would be intriguing at least.

Red is a Japan only, I belive. Green is an exported to Europe, i think.

imo not at those prices. SFTB is the only one i would consider but would probably pass on it.

Sounds like I need to befriend this guy.

Being close to a shady liquor store owner has its perks I bet.

green is only 80 proof (pass), think the red might be the same as normal Blantons 93

Red is 8 year vs 6 stateside.

Just saw that there was a newish Whiskey Bar in Corpus. Decent selection (except for only having 1 ASM, and a terrible one at that), and pretty good prices for the most part. Google images also shows the normal Pappy, BTAC, bottles as well.
