    Brisket bean and cheese breakfast taco is the way to go, but the carne guisada is good.

    It was supposed to go to $550 last year, but postponed it b/c Covid. It’ll be bumped to $550 this year

    This stuff is apparently really good. The Bourbon Junkies just blinded the Southern Rye and guessed it was a $60-$80 bottle. I’m definitely going to pick up at least the rye, but apparently the entire line is a good value.

    Not sure of spots to drink at, but if you can find some Mythology, grab it up. I hear their Hell Bear variety (a blend of rye and bourbon) is really good.

    Thanks for the note on this. I have the 99 proof variety from the same store (they did two picks) and was interested how it is. I have a Blue Note 9 pick from Skip’s and it’s great, so I’m happy to hear the 17 is good too. Blue Note seems to be laying their Dickel on the table with these releases.

    5+1+2= 8

    It’ll be interesting how they’ll introduce Tony’s history of panic attacks in this movie. They’ll have to show his first one that caused him to miss the heist with Tony B., won’t they?

    How many fucking fastballs down the pipe are we gonna let go by tonight?

    Fair. I’ve always preferred the breaded style, so Wayne’s is more my jam. Glad you tried them out!

    Stagg Jr. hands down for me. I only use W12 to blend Poor Man’s Pappy. With PMP I find the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. W12 and OWA are fine in my eyes, but I’m never disappointed if I miss a drop of those. If I see one, sure I’ll pick it up, but I’m not going out of my way to grab either one.

    There’s no doubt that the flippers are giving kickbacks to store employees/managers for tips on when the big drops are coming. I’ve never believed the whole “we don’t know what’s coming until it shows up on the truck” bullshit that you hear store employees tell you. It’s the same guys in the Facebook groups that post new inventory once the drops happen. You can’t tell me that they just always have good luck and get in on every big drop.

    Next time you’re in San Antonio, stop by Wayne’s Wings. You’ll thank me later.

    Melendez has been fucking brutal the last two months. Need to drop him out of the 4 hole.

    Heading into Houston this weekend for Father’s Day. Any decent stores on the northwest side of town? I plan on stopping at the Total Wine in Copperfield, but wasn’t sure if anything else was worth popping into in that area.
  15. Yev Kassem
    Aggy did

    The far right bottle is that Sweeten’s Cove bullshit that Peyton is shilling. From what I’ve heard it’s a $200+ drain pour. The one to the left of that is Michter’s 10. Can’t tell what the other two are.

    Cigar Blend is fantastic and almost impossible to find on the shelf. If you do see it you won’t pay retail. The only bottle I have came from a trade I made over the summer (for Weller Single Barrel, but I was on the 2 side of a 2-for-1). They come out with a few batches per year. Nancy Fraley is the blender and she does an amazing job with it. She also does Still Austin if I’m not mistaken.

    I’d have to imagine this won’t be available in TX as you can’t buy liquor at grocery stores?

    A buddy sent me a sample of Old Carter cask strength 13 year single barrel. It was like drinking unicorn tears. Too bad I’ve never seen any Old Carter in Texas. He also sent me a sample of Old Forrester 117, so that will be fun to try as well. I hear it’s much better than the OF 150 bottles that dropped last year.
  20. Yev Kassem
    I’ve heard it’s underwhelming. I think $180 is still below secondary, but there are other hitter bottles to be had for $150. Bardstown Discovery 3 and 4, Woodford Batch Proof mentioned earlier fit this bill.
  21. Yev Kassem
    My buddy actually found me the cask strength (just under 100 proof) Rebecca Creek 12 for $100, so I went with that instead. Apparently there were only 1400 bottles of the cask strength Rebecca Creek 12 so I’ll let y’all know how it goes.
  22. Yev Kassem
    Saw some Rebecca Creek 12 at ACL in San Antonio for $92. That was a bit too high for me the pull the trigger. I didn’t mind taking a flyer at $75, but not willing to pay almost $20 markup.

    Total Wine? I tried their app but looks like they’re all out of stock in SA.
  24. Yev Kassem
    Thanks for the recs on the FAE. Swung by Twins tonight and picked one up, along with a little unexpected surprise that was just sitting next to it on the shelf.

    If Garrison Bros single barrels are as good as they think they are, then why are there cases of these sitting readily available in every Total Wine, Specs, Twin Liquors, etc. across the state? You can find a single barrel of Garrison Bros as easily as you can find 1920 and we know 1920 is produced at a vastly higher rate.
