Bourbon

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Shit. Mine has 1 or 2 bottles in it at any time. When they get drank, they get replaced.

I’d say 95-99% of mine are open and prob more than half empty. I drink them all eventually

[huge 3795]

Wait.

You have 60+ distinct bottles?

Otherwise why are they mostly open?

I’m going to need to step my game up.  20 open bourbon and ryes plus two unopened that I need to bring home from the office.

That's a lotta hooch.

 

[ERhine 1906]

I just counted. 39 open bottles, 117 total. Will be 118 after I pick up my 2018 OFBB tomorrow

I think this exceeds my humble collection. Especially if we’re just limiting it to bourbon/rye.

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

I won’t comment on how many bottles in have in case my wife reads this thread.

It’s enough that I’m starting to forget what I have. 

[Quagmire 2147]

Well you should sell me some of the extras then

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Quagmire is good people. I sold him an ER.

[Quagmire 2147]

Yeah you can forget about that. I drink my hooch

Same here been searching for some 107.

Anyone been able to find ETL in dfw? I have never found a bottle in my searches

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Yeah, well I would have believed that if someone else had stuck up for him. But you....I got my eye on you Focker.

Well I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

[Quagmire 2147]

Check out this asshole , apparently has a buddy that owns a liquor store and he let him grab whatever he wanted , pretty shitty to screw your customers like that , I understand holding a bottle for him but JFC

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Yea fuck that guy

[Chewbacca 7783]

i'd like to see the receipt.  that's got to be at least $3K. 

[Anastasis 23482]

Hey hey. 

Now to secure the cork for travel.

[huge 3795]

[Anastasis 23482]

$62. Swedish krona. 

[Anastasis 23482]

Also had this buried in the corner. 

 

[huge 3795]

You sure about that conversion Clark?

I wouldn’t trust my maths right now, but confirmed 62.85 is the pending charge on my card. ETA: you might be using danish krone not Swedish.

[Jimbaround 975]

Ah, I see they store them inverted to keep the corks moist; smart.

[Anastasis 23482]

Lol. Fuck conversions. My tab for 4x4cl of makers at the bar was more than the bottle of bge.

Bill two things:

1. Let's not have your wife read Surly

2. Pretty sure what you wrote is just as incriminating as the actual number

specs in dallas?   sounds like i need to plan a trip to at least one specs in austin this weekend.

[BigDHornfan 6549]

Yea, Specs in DFW.  The Colony location.  Other metroplex Spec's got it as well, just not put out on the shelf.

Garrison Brothers Balmorhea is Jim Murrays American Micro Whiskey of the Year

 

Id tend to agree. 

[thrillhammer 684]

Balmorhea is fantastic.   Can't wait to try the Estacado, whenever it comes out.

That. Is. Awesome.

After reading about everyone’s inventories, I was curious about mine.

43 open
79 total

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Pretty, pretty nice haul today. Kentucky Owl Bourbon 2018, IW Harper 15, and a custom/private bottle of Jefferson's Reserve from Blackwell's. 

I'm power drinking the Harper to use it as a decanter for Stagg Jr. 

The Kentucky Owl is my Christmas Insurance in case I miss on all of the BTAC's and/or Birthday Bourbon. Praying for another bottle of Handy this year. LAWDT on the 2017 Handy. LAWDT. 

I'm probably done with barreling. Good quality, but terrible yield. I favor vatting/decanting now. 

I'll probably keep a bottle of Poor Man's Pappy, Knob Creek, and Stagg Jr in the decanting rotation. 

Side note, I think Stagg Jr is best after 3-4 weeks of decanting. 

[brown water 3778]

Was your iw15 from lckw?

[billfromlaketravis 11522]

Hogg Experts, is the Boss Hogg better than the 15 Year Old Vermont Oak? I ask because the 15 year is half the price of the Boss Hogg and older age statement.

Indeed. Tons of IWH15 and Bourye. RIP Son of Bourye. They won't bring their only premium quality - value price option. 

They had Black Price 4 and 5 as well. A lot of people like 4 better than 5 so I wouldn't expect 4 to go on sale. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Had some Michters 10 year tonight at drink.well. 

Pretty good. I’ve heard mixed reviews, but I was glad I ordered it.

$1175 at msrp. 

[Chewbacca 7783]

How is the regular Mitchers bourbon? Almost picked some up tonight.

[HouTex 1891]

It's very good. IMO, it's in the same league as OF 1920.

Really? Hmm. It's $10 less than 1920.

[USCATX 1078]

If you haven’t tried the Belle Meade Cask Strength for $55-ish you’re missing out.  It’s like a slightly hotter EHT Single Barrel only easier to find and typically cheaper.  Lots of  Spec’s have it around Austin.  

[HouTex 1891]

Really? Hmm. It's $10 less than 1920.

OF 1920 just happened to be on my mind. I forget what it costs. I also would put the Michters in the same league as HW American Prairie. Maybe the AP is even cheaper.

Couple of things about me though. I'm a cheap skate and I'm very satisfied with bourbons like AP and the basic Weller or the 107 or W12 when I can find them. OF 1920 is about as expensive a bourbon as I will buy at the store. Larceny is becoming a new favorite as well.
