That is some very dark looking liquid.

I’m pretty excited. Rare Bird 101 gave it 4.75 out 5 stars. That guy knows his Wild Turkey.

I will trade you a bottle of 4 Roses yellow label. Straight up

I witnessed a couple lawyers drink Weller 12 with a ton of ice last night. Straight nightmare fuel. Of course they killed the restaurant's only bottle and I had to drink Blanton's. Thanks a lot assholes. 

They did redeem themselves by ordering a couple bottles of Silver Oak for the table. 

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

Midland guys, is there a decent liquor store in town? The Pinkie's by the HEB was terribly sad on my last visit. 

I'm visiting family for Thanksgiving, and I don't want to check a bag.

Poor you having to drink Blanton’s.

I picked up a bottle of Double Oaked Woodford Reserve last night. Any one tried this before?

I like it, it's good price for what it is. Cheaper than some other double oaked options.

Thanks. That's what led me to grab it, it seemed like a good deal and the overall reviews seemed fairly positive. Will be breaking it open soon.

Total Wine had a Jefferson's Twin Oak pick probably back in 2018 or 2019 was my favorite double oaked bourbon. It was excellent, but the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is pretty close. 

I haven't had the pleasure of trying Michter's Toasted.

I had the Michter's and it was one of the best bourbon's I have ever tasted. It was damn near a "dessert" bourbon. Really sweet with some serious brown sugar tastes.It was pricey but definitely worth it.

Word round the campfire is Michters is releasing the Toasted barrel again. Next month.

Last time it was in 2018, and it was awesome.

We need to make a deal if you have an extra 3. I have an extra 4.

Remus Repeal V is dropping. If you find a bottle, grab it.  It’s phenomenal. I found one at Total Wine on Wednesday night on the shelf for $79.

Have already cracked it open or are you just parroting reviews?

I celebrate Repeals entire catalog. Want badly. Will have to order online because I live in a shitty control state now.

Opened it last night.  Lots of berry fruit flavors came through for me.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks. Bought Remus RR IV last year and went thru the bottle pretty quickly so your post was relevant to my interests. Scored a bottle of V this morning. Cheers!

Anyone familiar with Nidemade ?  They're advertising on facebook you can buy the 20 year old Eagle Rare in the cool bottle for $60 a bottle

Sipping on the Oak Liquor OF BS Bourbon store pick. Raj grabbed a good one for sure.

There are like 6 different companies claiming to sell the 20 yr ER for $60.  Knew it was too good to be true.

Try it out, see if it works out, and report back.

Discovery 4 beats the doors off of 3. Buy accordingly. 

[Godzillatron 292]

TL end of Summer sale not the same as dollar days, but some decent buys. Picked these 2 up, both hyped bottles I wanted to try. Got the Seagrass for $69, and the Wathens’s for $39.

I’ve been telling recruiters for roughly a decade that I’ll trade an interview/lunch for a bottle of Pappy 15.  Never thought it would happen, but here we are. 

[huge 3793]

As a recruiter myself I don’t understand what just happened.

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

How is such a thing possible?!

What is EHT Warehouse C going for on the secondary market? I've heard some crazy numbers being thrown around.

Chaos hundred dollars. It’s ridiculous. Saw one recently on a national site posted for 5000 that went for 4000 + Blanton’s Gold + Blanton’s SFTB. Then one went last week locally for like 1800-1900. I personally haven’t seen one actually move for more than that first one, but they’re bound to be out there.

$4k was the number I heard. A buddy with a good palate, but a bad ice habit says it's a slightly better than EHT Single Barrel. 

That is not worth an extra $3930.

Yeah those III and IV batches can still be found quite often. I hear they’re both really good as well, so enjoy!

If it makes you feel any better III is better than II.

Seagrass is a definite buy. The Rye shines through, but the flavors from the various barrels it’s aged in definitely show up in a positive way. I also have the Armida, but the Bourbon gets lost in that one and it doesn’t really work as well.

How does it compare to Dovetail?
