Tis the season of employee gifts and I’m wondering which of these I should keep for myself…

Leaning towards the Ferrand, but what say you Shag?91ebb3b156b3f2bf2944040d9a938ef5.jpg

I was gifted a bottle of Stellum recently, but I’ve never heard of it. Any good or any notes on it?

Agree on Tres Hombres.  I like the bottle and it looks good on the shelf but I won't be drinking any more of it.

The only reason I got through 2 pours was because of the rye in the blend. I don't like their Blue Corn and I definitely don't like single malt whiskeys.

It’s early, but thumbs up on Tumblin’ Dice High Rye. 
 

Let us know as you get thru it if it’s a “buy again”.

Plenty left at the local Specs and some Nulu. Both seem to be more MGP finished distillate.

I'd buy it again. I'm not sure what MGP's high rye bourbon recipe is, but I like it. 

I wish it were a little cheaper, but everything new costs at least $50 these days.

Well... couldn't you just open it and find out?

Perfectly fair point. I’m out of the country for a few weeks and just happened to see it in that photo of potential employee gifts. I was bored and curious with no current ability to open it so I figured I’d see what you fine gentlemen thought of it.

How have the duty free shops been treating you lately?

Nothing to write home about from what I’ve been seeing lately. Every bourbon I saw was very pedestrian. I don’t drink much scotch so not sure if the quality was actually higher, but the selection seemed to be way better in that regard.

That Indiana trash?  Damn near worthless.  I’ll give you an OWA pick and a Copper Tongue.  Can’t beat Tennessee and Kentucky when it comes to real bourbon.

Being friends with BigD has its benefits. And I’m not even talking about the occasional late afternoon dick pic c0bad80a4dfead124d1c8a1f3ac199cf.jpg

That was the reason behind the zoom call last night with Freddie.  That is him on the sticker and we sent him a bottle and he cracked it with us and shot the shit with us for 4 hours last night.  Dude is something else.  Just an awesome guy.

Buddy of mine today landed all of these at a mom and pop shop somewhere around Dripping Springs. These plus a few other bottles not pictured set him back $1600.  
 

This is probably the biggest one-day haul I’ve ever seen.

Did you ask Freddie when the Pappy and BTAC is getting to Texas? I’m getting might nervous about Christmas.

I want to do a private bottling run of bourbon for some friends and professional network and so forth. I used to make a few cases of loquat  liqueur every year but I don’t have time these days.
Does Caskers still do private label bourbon? Anybody got better options?

This. Nightmare hangover fuel. Not even Pedialyte can overcome its shitiness. 

Finally tried it a few weeks back and didn’t hate it. It’s not going to be found on my shelf but it’s not awful.

True story. I bought this bottle at MSRP ($350) back in 2011 at Wiggy's Liquor down on East 6th. Spent all day calling around liquor stores looking for a bottle of the PVW23, and was about to give up when I struck gold. Shit was fucking delicious.

Found the old thread at the shag: http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/showthread.php/93435-The-Holy-Grail-of-Bourbon

And yes, I want to punch 2011 me straight in the balls for describing it as "impossibly smooth".

So did you drink it all or what? What are you using the decanter for now?
