Too bad we are doing away with Texas A&M Qatar….

Missing out on huge opportunities to expand our collective. Next time I'm over there, I'll try to convince some Hamas leaders that Aggie Football brings misery, anger and pain to many Americans.

They will be lining up to donate to the cause.

Just got an email from Total Wine. Grand reserve members bottle drop on Saturday. Lots of bottles listed. To anyone who goes, good luck! I'm too busy to drive to las colinas and wait.

Guess the lottery will only be for BTAC. What is the point in being a GR if you still got to get there at 7am and wait in line. BS

This was my thought as well. I'm gonna refocus on Spec's points. I shopped once at the Lake Worth Spec's and they called me for a bottle of Elmer T. Lee.

Yeah, but the store they're likely to distribute from is much closer to me.

Looks like the next Sazerac barrel pick, you get a second barrel for a friend.

I saw a local shop post they got some EHT barrel strength rye in. Of course, none left when I could get there.

I thought it was a little random how they did the release. ETL was on a call basis. Stagg Jr was FCFS.

I think I'd prefer if they just doubled the number of winners they choose. But I won't complain if I win!

Picked up an Old Elk port finish at Costco and I'm a little disappointed. Had this sour taste to it. Really wanted to like Old Elk since it's a Colorado based company that distills its own juice.

It did smell incredible though. Like maple syrup which is weird to say.

Yeah I'm not an OE fan. It's kinda like Dragon's Milk. I wanted to like them but can't get into it.

You have any experience with port finish?

It was my first one and I'm wondering if it's the finish or the old elk I don't like.

Worth the price? Always hesitant to pull the trigger on those.

I don't remember. I've tried about four and didn't like any of them.

I like a lot of port finishes, especially ryes. Definitely worth trying others.

100% worth it. EHTBP level imo. The rye is phenomenal too. I think they're both better than the bourbon.

This might be "Captain Obvious" (I'm relatively new to the Bourbon thread) but Buffalo Trace is showing up at a number of stores - just in time for my Christmas giving.

This week, I found it in Total Wine West Plano (one bottle per day) and Spec's Addison / Dallas.

Just depends on where you shop.

I'm in NE Houston (Kingwood) - the Twin Liquor near me NEVER has any BT labels. My local independent has gotten BT and WSR pretty well always now with the distributor change.

I don't shop Specs frequently, but the last time I went in there at our local, there was plenty of both of those but none of the other BT labels.

That's what I was gonna ask. Wild times we are living in when BT is on allocation

all the specs & TW in Houston proper are overflowing with regular ass BT ... never heard of that being dry

even Jones Rd specs which is historically ass, had blantons & ER on their little shelf by the registers last week which came in handy for some client Xmas gifts ... missed Stagg Jr by 20 mins
