  1. For the RVW essentially yes as my trade bait was retail. Master’s was like 165 and everything else retail... so kinda, sorta, but I don’t mind paying a bit more for the Masters bottle as I hadn’t seen it until today.

  2. This is gonna be a gooood week for Bourbon:

    - Making my first trade tomorrow as I was able to swap out my 20 Stagg for a 20 ORVR
    - Finally found some Hancock’s
    - Spot in NJ had my Hochstadter’s 16YO Rye at a respectable price

  3. it wasn't the TOs or missed FTs.  playing streetball in the league is just stupid.  bad discipline for a veteran team - ragtag alleyoops, missed layups, botched dunks.  easily 6 or 7 baskets left on the floor when the ball should have been pulled out and settled.  going nowhere in the tournament if you don't know when to run and how to run clean, and when to hold and burn clock.

    You could have just said lack of discipline/poise, but that doesn’t add up to the same amount of lost/forfeited points as the TOs / FTs, but I can’t argue that everything you called out can be ignored.

    They’re ALL problems, and ones consistent with Shaka’s entire history at Texas.
  4. Sazerac is taking advantage of the slow month to roll out the Thomas Moore finished Barton series.  Should be pretty ok, but I’m having trouble imagining the Chardonnay one. 

    Sagamore has a Sav Blanc Cask right now that is phenomenal, so I could see it working.
  5. I passed when a friend spotted one in Houston. The rumors (most likely fact) about Fred Noe rejecting the initial batch were concerning. I’m sure they fixed it, but whatever was in the initial batch is still in there. 
    A lot of enthusiasts have bitched about the Booker’s price increases, and I think they’re warranted. The only Booker’s batch worth $70 was Kentucky Chew. I liked Shiny Barrel, but it drank like a good $50 bourbon. Very small sample size, but I didn’t like Country Ham. 

    I really enjoy my bottle of Chew, and I’m going to need a revisit on the pigskin this weekend as a side/side, but my first blush was that the pigskin is superior.
