So Spec's Fountain View even had Weller SR today in 750 ML and 1.5.  I haven’t seen Weller SR in the wild in Houston in about a year.  What gives?

Where are you normally looking? I give people in Katy shit for posting pics of SR at Spec’s Main Event, but apparently they only get it out there once a month.

It’s starting to dawn on me why Spec’s had about 2 cases of EC Toasted out at 11 am. It’s decent, but nothing special. It could be great at a higher proof. Hopefully some store picks are on their way. 

That stuff is gross, maybe the worst toasted I’ve ever had.  And who’s looking for Weller SR and not finding it?

I shop mostly at Spec’s and Goody Goody before it closed.  Goody Goody had SR on the shelf more than Spec’s but it was still only a few times a year.  I recall Spec’s on Fountainview had SR during its grand opening but I haven’t seen it since until last week.  I haven’t seen SR at Spec’s downtown in years.  I’m wondering if something is going on with the supply.

Friends in West and Southwest Houston say they only get SR once a month. They can usually sit on a location, but the day/time of month isn’t consistent. It sounds crazy, but I’ll buy it from the Katy Bourbon Mafia posts.

A friend scouted the Twin Liquor in Sugarland today. They had the Dollar Day prices marked. Makers 46 Cask Strength for $7 off at $46.75 is not going to get me to take off work. I’m sure there are some great deals on wine, but I rarely drink anything nice. 
 

I’m probably passing.

Killing a Full Proof while watching USC (we’re back) halfass beat San Jose State.  It was very good from start to finish and I’ll probably open either a Deb’s or Whiskey Cake pick next.  This one is a staple I love having around.

got a story there?

Got a lead on a bottle of GTS2020 and once I was roped in, I walked away with 3 more. And now I won't sleep until I have a Saz to finish the job.

Managed to snag a bottle of Hancock's Reserve yesterday at TW with $35 knocked off the price (which admittedly was over MSRP as it was) because of a snafu relating to some wine I had ordered.  Looking forward to trying it.

Anyone sample the Daniel Weller yet?

No but there’s a dickhead in our area selling one and asking for references even though he’s not shipping.
wtf?
I’m sorry, my money ain’t good enough for you?
Eat a dick.

Smokewagon isn't bad, but it's wildly overrated and moderately overpriced

It is now. My easy uu bottles with no or early stamps are quite good.

I have a pre-batch open and it’s just not old enough to get the tobacco and leather notes I like in MGP.  Also have a spare if you want it.
