Quite gruntled with today's score 

Fuck yea

[Buzzrock 14949]

Just found Blanton’s on the shelf in Wilmington, DE like it was no big deal. Shopkeep seemed surprised that I’d had trouble finding it. $79.99

Trying figure out how much I can cram in my checked bag tomorrow.

You can always buy a bigger bag...

Rebel Yell 10 is goooood. 

Where did you discover the Michters 10?

[Buzzrock 14949]

Rest your meat more you heathen. 

You know I was waiting on that comment. I swear I rested it 20 minutes, and it was still juicy as hell.

[ERhine 1909]

I almost typed that same comment a few times but held off.

I rest it that long as well and sometimes the juices run. Shit happens.

Live in kingwood. Small shop in the back section.  

[Jerry Callo 8734]

Picked up a bottle of Balcones True Blue 100 today.  I really like the flavor profile.

[Bozo_Casanova 26579]

I got some RY10 today also. It’s out there.

Polishing off a bottle of Whistlepig 10 year Store pick. Really solid bottle. 

[billfromlaketravis 11541]

Coltivare in the Houston Heights has a sneaky good whiskey selection. Reasonably priced pours. I need to try the Black Prince there. 

[Smax 3800]

 

yep

[TheAuditor 1040]

Yippe Ki Yay at Goody Goody Colleyville Saturday afternoon.  $68. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Whoa buddy. Put a seatbelt on those little guys. 

[Buzzrock 14949]

 
yep

The seal broke on the bottle on the left in flight and a little leaked out. Bottle on the right was in the box and made it home unscathed.

[GreenspointTexas 9684]

Are we really hoarding blantons now? Lolll

[huge 3795]

I got a Yippee Ki-Yay on Friday at Village Liquors by Cottonwood.  $70

Still looking for RY10.

I'm not hoarding it but I buy it whenever I find it for a fair price, $60 or so. I only find 3-4 bottles a year in KS that aren't marked up too high. I have 1 3/4 bottles on the shelf currently.

[Smax 3800]

Im headed back to Texas this weekend and its hard to find there, here it sits on the shelf 10 deep for $55 a bottle

[huge 3795]

What is the consensus on Barrel Bourbon?  I saw 7, 8b and 12 today for $80.  

[mbpcb 55]

how much y’all paying for RY10? i just found a few bottles for $75, but i’ve never had it so wasn’t sure if it was marked up

[BigDHornfan 6553]

It’s usually between 55-65 so that’s not too bad. I wouldn’t feel upset about paying $75 if I had too.

[BigDHornfan 6553]

I’m In Tulsa this week for work and found a Liter and a Handle of OWA. Got the handle for thestud and the liter for myself.
Very nice not paying a markup for it.

Hoarding is fine. Let greenspoint cry in his drink at the local bar when he doesn't have Blantons at home.

[Neonmoon 38130]

It’s been a long time, maybe 6 month, since I’ve seen Blanton's on the shelf in Texas.

Try 3-5 years for me in DFW.

[BigDHornfan 6553]

Damn son. Get to know your bourbon guy at Specs or GG. I’ve bought 6+ bottles in the last year. Even just walking into TW at the right time, I’ve scored 2-3 in the last 6 months.

I’m seeing it for MSRP, on shelf.

I haven’t seen it on the shelf in the Atlanta area in years, and the one seller that said he could get it said it would be $100. But we have Eagle Rare everywhere for less than $30 and some on this thread have had trouble finding that.

[ckhorn 208]

Man i've seen a half dozen bottles on shelf in the last month. I have plenty at home and bypassed them. keep looking or find a buddy at specs.

Some of it is pretty good.  I have an OLC store pick 9e 9 yr and it’s good if not great. Probably wouldn’t take it over a good Four Roses store pick for less money though.  

And all you Blanton’s fans should be buying Gold and SFTB from overseas.  If you would contemplate spending $100 for regular single barrel the Gold will blow your mind for less money.

Blantons isn’t from Texas, so Greenspoint wouldn’t drink it.

Buy me a bottle and I’ll be your best friend

[markstanco 12628]

Probably discussed, but if you are in san Antonio, hit up Bar 1919. Wowowowow at the whiskey selection. Second to none, or at least very few.

[Bozo_Casanova 26579]

I get back to Austin tomorrow and I’ll see what I can do

[brown water 3778]

Few reasons to celebrate tonight. Cheers Surly. 

[billfromlaketravis 11541]

I pulled a bottle of Elijah Craig Bottle Proof and Antique out of the much maligned Spec’s tonight. I found one location in the city that will work with me. 

If any of y’all are at FFA Convention in College Station, they have Rebell Yell Single Barrel. 

[That Guy 960]

All my bottles are bottle proof so I got that going for me...which is nice.

You should take Elijah Craig back. It's no fun if you can't open it.

Seared into my brain

[Bozo_Casanova 26579]

For the Balcones guys- they’ve got True Blue in stock at Austin Shaker on Airport.

[billfromlaketravis 11541]

I just received some great personal news today.

I'll be drinking Handy this weekend.

I’m getting a handy this weekend from your mom.

Seriously though, that’s awesome.
