C920 kicks A120’s ass. A120 is pretty good, but it’s really hot on the palate. C920 is probably the best release in the last few years of ECBP. B520 is really good too if you find that, but I never saw any hit San Antonio. I had to trade bottles with a guy on a national Facebook group to get mine. Did it for a 375ml Blanton’s pick from WB Liquor. I feel I won that trade quite handily.- Bourbon
Won a EH Taylor Barrel Proof in a store raffle yesterday. Can’t wait to try it out as I’ve heard nothing but good things.- The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)

At least here in SA, they claim to get deliveries every day. One of the guys I chat up often is in one of the local Facebook groups I’m in and he says they don’t really know when the allocated stuff comes in. He said that it’s up to the distributors as to what they send on the trucks. He was telling me that they’ll know that sometime during the year they’ll get a big BT drop of stuff that includes ETL, Weller, etc. and it will just show up one day on the truck. No rhyme or reason. I’m sure people higher up the chain know what’s coming (and they either tip off the flippers or hold stuff back),- Bourbon
That’s on my list of things to hunt for when I get out to Kentucky post-Covid. From what I’ve heard it’s only really available there?- Bourbon

Even if retailers limit the public on one bottle per customer, there are others that can get whatever they want. For example, when Spec’s dropped their store pick of Smoke Wagon a few weeks back, it was at one location here in SA. They limited the public to one bottle per transaction, so most guys I know were able to snag one or two if they went back more than once (which I have no problem with). Yet, it was confirmed that one customer was sold FIVE CASES of the stuff. The same day the Spec’s pick dropped, the stuff flooded the secondary market and was going for $200-$225 on Texas and National pages. There’s no doubt in my mind that these flippers are dealing kickbacks to managers at these big box stores. Until this practice is cracked down upon (which I doubt) we’ll keep seeing rare and allocated bottles hitting secondary in mass quantities.- Bourbon
They also have some Old Forester barrel strength store picks left, but you have to put buy with another store pick. They have a few to pick from, but the OF is $100 itself. I combined that with a Russell’s Reserve pick they had for $70. The OF is the same one that Debs had (they called it Over the Top). It’s like 135 proof, but it doesn’t have the cool sticker that Debs put on their bottle (if that matters to you).- Best Burgers in Houston
I haven’t lived in Houston for over a decade, but I always loved Lankford. No clue if it’s even open anymore- Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]

Yeah, in the “Whiskey Tube” community, that’s typically the note given to most Dickel products. I hated Flintstones vitamins as a kid so that’s enough to keep me away from Dickel.- Bourbon
The new 11 year Dickel BiB apparently has a more traditional bourbon flavor and less of the mineral/“Flintstones vitamin” taste of typical Dickel offerings. I haven’t tasted it yet myself, but that could be a reason why you like it a bit better.- Bourbon
Eagle Rare hits WB Liquors (the liquor store at Costco) at least once a month. At least they do here in SA. In our area the deliveries are typically the last week of the month on Thrusday or Friday. They get Blanton’s and ER monthly.- Recommendations for BAR & FOOD in AUSTIN
Why would you ruin a perfectly good weekend in Austin by watching the clusterfuck shitshow we call a football program?- Bourbon
