Fresh crack. Been excited for this one! Merry Christmas everyone!
I saw the Specs drop is in SA this year. Anyone know what store it may be?
The one at Smith Street in Houston is supposedly Saturday. I went there on Monday and there were already 5 tents set up. I talked to the guy who was first in line and he started camping out on Sun so he will spend 6 nights in line.

Last years was possibly my favorite pour that I had open. This years is very different, almost too "floral" and bright for me. Letting it sit for a bit and going to try it again.
Supposedly about 250 at 1:30. Just reading from a discord channel.
That's not too terrible compared to previous years. But also the bottles aren't as good.
There are supposed to be good bottles not listed in decent quantities
Thanks. Guessing it'll fill out when people get off work today
Yep. I would Expect it to be close to 400 by midnight. I think I was about 400 last year between 3:30/4am.
Are you going this year?
I'm don't think so. My cabinet storage and back corner of my closet are busting at the seams.
How do they usually do it (First timer here)? One type of bottle per person or one bottle per person for ALL selections?
If the first, I can definitely see that's why those people are camping to take those suckers straight to secondary.
Regardless, I'm rolling up after lunch and see what "leftovers" I can get.
Feels like a ticket pull for adults.

Usually one type of bottle per person. OWA/WFP is pick one or the other. Then near the end they have a table or two of random stuff that is pick one from the entire selection.
I think last year there were a bunch of WSiB on the last pick one from the mix table that the first 50-60 in line got.

Has anyone heard of Hogsworth? I just received a bottle as a gift and it's pretty intriguing. Apparently the brand was started from the guy who started Whistle Pig. It's a blend of bourbon and armagnac
I was at a tasting for WhistlePig a few weeks back, and they were strangely cryptic about a founder who was no longer with the company. He definitely sounded like an eccentric, but one who knew whiskey.
I had a sample at specs a couple weeks ago. Didn't enjoy it much really. Interesting concept and didn't hate it but wouldn't buy a bottle personally
Who's going to the Houston Specs drop?
I plan to show up around 1 and see what sorts of leftovers are there.

Any notes on this? First time buyer but read some interesting reviews. I'm a sucker for stuff distilled in Texas that I haven't tried.

I wanted to but wife came down with flu and I need to stay behind. A few bottles I was wanting that if any good folks in this thread would be willing to grab for me, I'm willing to pay you back.
According to online sources, the Dallas line cracked 400. That's 400 @ 8pm
I'm going to head up there in the morning. What is it you are wanting?TexAgs1992 said:AlaskanAg99 said:

Hmm, now I'm questioning whether I'm gonna go. When I went morning of last year, I think was roughly 500-550. Sounds like I'd be quite a bit further back same time this year.
