Their Double Oak is outstanding and I also enjoy the Cask Strength.



Did a little stock analysis after the holiday dent and moved things around. I keep telling people that I don’t have a problem.m, but they’re not apt to believe me...

I bought a store pick of Sagamore from the Oak Cabinet in Austin. It wasn’t cask strength, but damn it was good. Maryland’s reputation for making good ryes is well deserved.

Did a LOT of damage yesterday.  Too hungover to take stock right now but may need to do some reloading.  There's a couple south suburb liquor stores that have consistently good bourbon stock.  I try to keep those top secret.  No pappy but just about anything else seems in play.  Happy new year to all of you fellow degenerates.

If they BTACs at MSRP, I’m driving to Chicago.

One of my favorite parts of the tour was an interactive map of pre-prohibition Maryland where you could explore every distillery. Blows my mind that at one point there were over 50 in the state and really nothing survived outside of a few brands, Pikesville being one of them.

Interesting to think about what the booze and beer landscape would look like absent the disruption of prohibition.

Breaking out first bottle from the overpriced bottles I bought. Plus Blanton swag from the wife.

 

Happy New Years, fellas

Man, I'm not sure to congratulate you or be worried for your health

I’m dry this month for that reason. Liver reboot.

I’m more annoyed than impressed by this for some reason. Mostly envy, I guess. 
 

I’d suggest you watch the documentary ’Neat’ and pay special attention to the last few minutes and the story he tells.

So you loaded up when BTACs weren’t very popular? The line dates back to 2000. 

Yeah, some I’ve had for over a decade, Pappy as well. Used o walk in to a store and it was on the shelves.

We all know that there is a shitload more to it than that.  I remember buying the LotB I have for $35 off the shelf.  I dont have 20 of them though.

Sure. It’s called secondary market.

So to the man with $$$$$ of booze in his reserves cabinet,  what's in that mason jar hiding in the back on the bottom shelf of your open bottles?

Got a call from my bourbon fairy god mother. Might want to check some local ATX Specs.

573-DE6-FE-485-D-40-D9-B33-E-6-AE4-B3-C9

ran over there and they basically said i didn't have enough loyalty points to buy one.

Out of curiosity, which Specs? I think that my store just runs a local list and doesn't allocate off the corporate point list.

Knob Creek 12 has hit Texas. 

I bought a bottle in Amarillo 4-5 weeks ago, have not cracked it yet. 

‘Maybe I should get a couple more just in case.
