    Same mashbill as bonded Rittenhouse and 110pf Pikesville. I’ll wait till ECBPRye hits the shelves.

    So you ran with that fuckfaced dipshit Clarence Franklin?

    Here’s some industry news that will make the rounds this morning. Al Young, longtime brand Ambassador for Four Roses, passed on Christmas Day. I’ve had the pleasure of dining with Al and picking barrels with him. A great man and a great bourbon historian. RIP Al 🥃

    True story. This past weekend at TW Brodie, Buffalo Trace drop was tipped off by someone in distribution. Over a hundred folks line-up at opening. Big surly guy cuts the front of the line. Words were exchanged and tough guy brandishes some brass knuckles. Sunset Valley PD arrive in full-force to haul surly guy away. All the hoopla for a storepick BT and a few Blanton’s. Go figure.

    I’ve heard it’s good but I haven’t tasted for myself. Price needs to drop $50.

    Not all store picks are created equal. An account may get an occasional gem picking samples out of a briefcase, but the good bottles come from those accounts who have long-standing relationships with the distiller/distillery and actually travel and pick out of these rickhouses. I do hope you’ve found yourself a good bottle to drink.

    Twin Liquor Dollar Day went well today. I got to load & reload on a few goodies: Ardbeg Drum, Balvenie Tun 1509, OF 1920, Pikesville, Foursquare Empress, Compass Box Flaming Heart, Four Roses, and W12.

    Small town Tx guests would probably enjoy Moonshine or Roaring Fork. Everything else might seem to pretentious to them.

    The only redeeming quality about Asscot is that he’s a sooner hater

    Sad day when the Westlake location shuttered. Now I have to trek to Ben White.

    Is that Derek Chang?

    I have a bottle of the ‘93 and it’s much better than the ‘89 I tried side-by-side. I’ve also had the ‘83 and that was one extraordinary pour. The ‘93 has some cherry on the nose with cocoa, vanilla and heavy caramel on the tongue. Nice long sweet tobacco finish. Good stuff and worth trying.

    For the classic Hemingway, Floridita uses 3yr Havana Club. There is nothing special about this one. I’ve tried Probitas. It’s a blend of whites by Foursquare and Hampden and it’s delicious. For something interesting, try Paranubes from Oaxaca. It has grassy qualities like a good agricole/cachaca with ripe apricot. It’s what all the hip tiki bars are pouring.

    Applejack is huge and has a great selection for most things. But bourbon is tough to come by everywhere. Haven't been to Argonaut in a long time. My personal ranking: Davidson’s, Argonaut and lastly Applejacks. It’s hard to find any rare bourbon in Denver as it’s a whiskey town. Years ago, I found a 2016 SAOS rye sitting on the bottom shelf at Applejacks. I was also able to grab Argonaut’s SAOS bourbon store pick before they stop releasing them. As far as store picks, Davidson’s has the best inventory on hand.

    Where were you when HH was releasing McKenna single barrels back in 2012-2014?
  20. Whiskyteer
    Well if you haven’t heard, HH will be releasing barrel picks of their 92pf wheater Larceny. Expect to see them released around bourbon season.

    Kentucky Spirit launched in 1994 with the pewter caps. The caps changed to a smooth dark wood in 2002. In 2005, the dark wood top was stamped with a turkey. In 2008, the top changed to a light wood with a turkey stamp. After researching, it looks like they removed the “distilled in Ky” when they switched to the dark brown caps.

    Not sure you can assume that buying out inventory of WSR means someone is refilling W12 empties? I’ve seen out-of-towners come into Tx to buy inventory to resell in their home states/countries. I witnessed some Japanese store-owners wipe out high end Suntory & Nikki products to haul back to the motherland.
