It will say on the side of the bottle what state it was distilled in.
Indiana=MGP
TN= either Dickel or another TN distillery

I’m pretty good at math and can’t make “didn’t have room for FRSMBLE” add up.  

YOU pack 400 bottles of booze and fill up every nook and cranny of available space moving cross country and then let’s talk…

At the end, I was giving away open RHF and EHTSiB due to a lack of space. It seems crazy, but I couldn’t honestly fathom buying any more hooch at that moment.

Have a client looking for some McKenna 10. Haven’t looked for that in a long while. Is it pretty scarce these days?

Have seen it a lot more lately, at least in MD.

I hear you. I’ve walked some pretty crazy bottles because it just seemed like too much trouble to get them home. 35CDAE65-145B-4EA3-922D-C38650364698.thumb.jpeg.34432df6f7e5a1b4982998999953acc7.jpeg92B0BFC9-0A13-43C9-8E24-499744255888.thumb.jpeg.2272d5634b2482add8d2dd24a8dc7655.jpegD4819305-7F88-4A0D-B32D-DF9C7EF55260.thumb.jpeg.0616e358b11ca65d9ba0a41cf7e4fcc2.jpeg

Close, 2020 in Alaska.  Before y’all book a cruise it’s not like that anymore at all.

Yeah, got a call from Specs that they had a bottle for me and shuffled over to pick it up.

 

Got another call today that they had a bottle of HW midwinters night dram. I didnt ask if it was act 10 or encore.

I think that I have been on that allocation list since pre-pandemic and didnt even remember being on it.  What say surly brownwater enthusiasts about this release?  Its $144.

Your first transgression was stopping in Decatur. I’m assuming  Eighter by the hospital? I like them but they don’t get shit for decent whiskey. The coffee house on the square has cornered the market on anything decent or allocated

No, it was Al's on the highway. They don't get a lot of allocated bottles but when they do they don't jack the price way up. Had been looking for this one for awhile.

Has High West issued an explanation for what, a $40-50 price increase from last year?

I don't know what their pricing was last year, but at $150 I need to be convinced by the brown water brain trust here.

@Party_Taco and other Greater DC area guys, any good spots for drinking and shopping in our nation’s capitol? 

Jack Rose has the best whiskey selection in the city. Churchkey is solid as well. Both usually have some barrel picks and are in the Dupont Circle area.

Don't really do much whiskey shopping in the city so can't help with that.

It’s going for about 200-220 secondary right now so you should buy it and trade at a minimum.

not that i know of, but it was definitely $99 for a long time (including at the distillery) and now it's $150 retail everywhere (including the distillery).  was probably due for a price increase but yeah, 50% is a lot.

the price is the price.  if you're a rye guy (i am not) then it's worth it because it's one of the best yearly ryes on the market, and others (like m10) are equally priced.  this is also the only time of the year you'll see it.  try to buy it in july and see what it'll cost you.

Well I dropped in and bought it.  Also walked through all my allocation requests to square up.  I don't know what the specs point range at my store is, was told that I am near the top and H-town sent this particular store three bottles in this instance. Saw the top dawg corp wide at 998,800 or something.  My account is *just* a bit below that. Made sure I was still on the 4 grain and WLW and BB lists cause those are my unicorns. I don't believe in selling bourbon or selling guns.  But I would trade bottle and cash for one of my unicorns.

Love these bottles. Don’t love that consistently price them at least 20-30 dollars higher than ECBP. 
I saw one yesterday for 80. I passed. It's it worth picking up for that price?

I'm just happy I can find OF 1910 regularly again.

Yeah I’d pay $80 for EC barrel strength picks. Roma Liquor had one at like 138 proof + and it was divine. The owner would only sell me one.

Had a taste of this years mwnd release and loved it.

Surely there is somebody at some of these large chains here on surly here that can put me on a call list for allocated stuff…. Lmk
I feel like I’m being punked. This Benchmark Top Shelf is really good.

Agreed for $14 it’s a smooth sipper with dark fruit notes.

It continues to make me sad that I used to be able to stop at whatever liquor store was on the right side of the road on the way home from work and pick up a handle of Antique for $45.

Yes, shoot me a DM and I’ll text you relevant details.

In other news, I finally got all the hooch out of the POD today and figured I’d celebrate by opening a random box… not a bad find!
