Looks like Irving had Michter’s 10 Year Rye well into Saturday evening. That’s a damn good bottle to last that long. I wonder what happened there? 

Also grabbing a Blanton’s Gold after 3 is pretty nuts. 

I believe they had Michter’s 10 Year Rye at the pick ‘em table. I went with the Old Forester Barrel Strength Rye because I’ve never tried it before.

Good choice.

Specs drop scatter shooting: 

- Waiting out the line until there is no line in the afternoon is the way to go. 

- Almost everyone in front of me skipped the BT and Saz picks at $30. Great value to drinkers like myself. Worthless to flippers. 


- Many people had empty carts until the pick ‘em table, and they were all on their phones asking what they should grab/Venmo me the cash from their flipper overlords/cousins. 
 

- If I had to guess CYPB is flipper gold. Low MSRP entry point at $60, and they can probably sell it for at least $300. 

- Based on Reddit, people in the 1000s  at Irving were getting Blanton’s Gold. Insane. 

- I’d imagine the bottom has fallen out on Willett 8 purple tops. They might have a couple cases tomorrow morning. I know it’s overrated, but I’ve never tried it. I really enjoyed some of the early Family Estate SiBs at Hay Merchant, so hopefully I run into a good bottle. 

- The profit margins must not be good on OGD 16 either. I’d imagine it’ll make it into midweek. 

- The mysterious disappearance on Weller Antique continues. I don’t think BT will 86 it, but maybe it gets the Hancock treatment. Legacy brand that they don’t make very much of. 
 

- I don’t think I saw 1 bottle of Weller SiB in anybody’s cart shots. Pretty curious.

I bought a GTS secondary and the guy offered me a CYPB for $400. That was an easy pass for me. But I mean, yeah. If others are willing to pay that much then it's a good play I suppose.

Good to know. Specs btac is entirely based on $ spent that year. So good luck. My store had several caterers that won out. Not me. 
 

f-

Yeah, the caterers, expensive wine guys, and one off restaurant/bar owners will bury you. I just keep my mouth shut, never complain, and buy whatever is offered to me.
