Probably pulling it too early because of demand.  I haven't had any I'd call hot garbage though, especially at that price point.  I have been noticing that Bulleit (orange label) has been drinking smoother lately.

Maybe hot garbage is a little harsh, but I've been drinking the stuff since it was $20-25 bucks and always on the shelf. Now it's $30+ almost everywhere and declining in quality IMO. Just about everybody I talk bourbon with has had a similar experience. Granted, I haven't touched the stuff in over 6 months. Maybe it was just a quality control issue and localized with the batch that showed up here. I don't know.

mine is the rye. green label


I heard the rye is the better of the two ( and drinkable as a craft rye even if it pales in comparison to the original). The bourbon is supposed to be bad in any context.

Dumb Question Amnesty
Anyone ever bought a bottle on the secondary market? Bottle Spot?

I just can’t bring myself to do it yet. Hunting bottles at retail is a lot of fun for me.
Only ones I think I’d be willing to do secondary on are WLW or ER17. And right now I like money too much to pull the trigger on those.

@staboner Only had a small pour mixed with coke zero.

I kid. I get this characteristic balcones oily astringency that I pick up across a lot of their stuff (I don't know if that is the "proper" term, but I've used it to describe something i get in the bourbon as well). Loved it with a few drops of water. But I am a self professed Balcones fanboi.   

This was Bee Cave Galleria. I burn my recipes when I walk out of the store, but I want to say this came in @$35 and there was a lot on the shelf (and blue corn bourbon in the case at front, or that may have been specs down the road, either way saw plenty on shelve recently).  It appears to me that Balcones has really ramped up their production. I remember when single malt was scarce, but that shit is everywhere all the time, and apparently they just laid up a huge batch of the rye as well.

Speaking of BSM, is Lot B even close to worth 450? I’ve never got to try anything Pappy but just curious.

Absolutely not worth $450! Blantons and W12 are better and easier to find and would set you back $100 combined.

Yup, I'll sell you mine for $400.  It's  a$50 bottle of hooch that has an expensive label.

My wife asked me the other day what I have spent on Bourbon the last year and I got curious...worked out an excel spreadsheet and I've got 29 different Bourbons for a total of 54 bottles I've bought over the last year.   Total of $2400.   Told my wife $500.

Standard haircut.  That math works the same when it comes to gambling losses.

Thanks guys re: lot B. Just making sure I’m not missing anything.

 

Enjoying some OWA right now. Thinking about making some poor man’s pappy with W12 but man I really like OWA.

I love the OWA and the W12 by themselves, but PMP made with them is great stuff.
I’ve done several batches the last year and the best one was one I let sit in my small barrel for about 3 weeks.

Agreed. Back when it was readily available at $75 I thought it was overpriced. Anything over $100 is criminal.

Looking for some info on these two bottles I received as a gift a few years back. Haven’t found much of anything doing an internet search.c44b66745694408dc4cb91d4c85b2b8c.jpg3cba438f46a24464de6f0c904f4effc9.jpg3c4f627b91a70b6b11c4211041a0d857.jpg0b547c384789814587281ac993f2902a.jpg

Solid bottles you have there milkman!  If you’re ever considering trading one, give me a shout.

Anybody tried Swift single malt out of a Dripping Springs? Got to talking about it with the guy at my local Twin today. He hadn't tried so was not recommending, just noted it's a relatively new local add.

Can you buy it online on TW website like everything else ?


I don’t think you can buy any of the allocated products, but you can check the inventory.
