Which one is best?
That's tough. I like them all and it's fun to see the different profiles of each. That being said, I'm a sucker for floral notes on bourbon so the SQ's are definitely up there!

What are your thoughts on it? Is there a general consensus on that one?
We both liked it. The wife bought one as a lighter bourbon to have around. As a plus, Dan signed the **** out of it.
I bought a Cask Strength HD at the factory based on the tasting lady's very high recommendation. I've not opened it yet but I'm starting to get pretty motivated. They were only released at the gift shop but Dan said they may be available soon. Spoiler alert…

Nancy did go into the details of how the honeydew came to be, and they played a video of the infusing-wood-cubes-with-honey process. All very interesting, and yes, she's pretty much a fireball.

The mods are losers
This is extremely random…. but anyone that went to the Houston Specs drop last year around the holidays….
What spot in line roughly was a Stagg SP cut off? Or in general, what spot in line is the cut off where you start missing out on things?
(obviously excluding BTAC)

The one 2 years ago I got in line about 3am the morning of and I missed out on stagg jr, Weller full proof, and eht barrel proof.
I was able to get a Weller 107 store pick, Blantons store pick, eagle rare, and then a couple other bottles.
Not worth it at all so I skipped last year

I got to the Austin one a couple years back about 7 am. We missed the Stagg by about 10 people.
Last year, I had a friend drop by the Dallas one around 2 in the afternoon. He got EHT SiB, ER SP, Blanton's & Gold, and a few other decent bottles. I've decided that unless I have a couple guys that'll get there stupid early and make an event of it (predawn tailgating type thing), I would just do the afternoon drop in to see what's left.

Oops. Let he who has not been there cast the first stone.
A couple pickups this week.
The 2024 Coy Hill (snagged a 132 proof)
Has anyone in here cracked one of these yet? If so how is it.

And a Widow Jane Decadence (seemed interesting, but may be awful)

Lol needless to say I had a great time last night.
Reminder email sent out for the Fort Worth recipients of 4Roses and RCSO.
They just do one location in Houston area, DFW, and Centex per year. I don't know where the locations were last year. It gets announced in mid December if I remember correctly.
The WJ Decadence is great. Nice holiday after dinner dessert pour
I got the CH 132 proof last week and it's delicious! Crack it....you won't be disappointed.FLATOUT said:

I need a favor. I accidentally had my 4R go to Austin and need it in DFW (Arlington) anyone willing to mule it for me? I am NC and my pops will pick it up for me and I'll grab it when I come down for Christmas.
If nothing materializes before Xmas, I can save mine and give it to you. I can get "yours" at the next Texags bourbon pickup at OLC.
Thanks Syd. I'll keep you posted
Gonna be a fun evening.
My invitation was clearly lost in the mail.
For anyone who is going to be in BCS this weekend, the BVBS will be meeting at Rough Draught tomorrow night. I have no idea what we're drinking (all of our meetings are blind) but Everett promised me it's something delicious!
And if you've considered becoming a member, we have 7 spots open but our one rule of membership is that you must attend a meeting before joining.

Apparently so, everyone else made it.
Can't wait to compare these 2 against our TA picks. Very impressed with Cowboy, especially as my only HAZMAT bottle. Is "cinnamon bomb" a thing? Holy crap.
Weller Full Proof pick won't be chosen until late winter/early spring. Got too busy. Amount of bottles will be low due to barrel yield and those spoken for between me and friends and the shop. Probably 30-40 for Texags. Taking suggestions on how the lucky winners will be chosen…Charity raffle?

It took about 3-4 months for me to get my BT bottles after I went - doesn't solve your how to give away problem but just wanted to let you know!
I think charity raffle is a great idea. Or NIL raffle
Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2010
You give Bulldog73 first dibs, then sell the rest for an insane markup.
Raffle pick with each bottle bought previously on TexAgs as an entry.
Thus, 5 TexAgs picks previously = 5 entries.
Thus, 5 TexAgs picks previously = 5 entries.
So in.

What cheapskate brought the Benchmark? LOL
That's not the way it works. The bar picks the line-up. Bonded was the theme tonight. We drink it blind and discuss it. It was not the least favorite.
They were all picked and provided by Everett at Rough Draught.
