Has anyone tried this one?

Is chill filtering a thing with bourbon?

[Paco 1,960]

Absolutely

[mbpcb 55]

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever had an NCF bottle before. How much have I been missing out?

 

I see that WTMK for sale regularly but don’t know enough about it to fork over that kind of cash to make a purchase

I grabbed it for $70, figured wth.
It’s signed by Bruce Russell, Jimmy’s grandson who is a distiller at WT now.

Decades is a nice release by Jimmy and Eddie, who both have a combined 95 years of distilling experience.  Bruce, on the other hand, has been traveling the country as a WT ambassador for the past few years and had been stationed in Austin.  He’s back in Lexington now and is being shackled to the distillery to start learning the ropes.  Give the guy another 10-15yrs before calling him a distiller.

I’ve got 2 bottles of the 518 batch. That’s some damn tasty bourbon.

I have a dream where we move in together and just bourbon for a few months.

Do you ever have the same dream?

Driving around looking for BTAC like a poor.

Found a bottle of Midwinter Night's Dram and I've got to say I'm impressed.  Really impressed.  Damn, this shit is good.

Yeah, I love the look they give you when you ask if they have any BTAC.  Hell, I get that look when I ask for Blanton's.

['stache 22,146]

Friend of mine was in Waco a few weeks ago and brought me these. Good stuff. High rye bourbon is on point!

[Jerry Callo 8,969]

Crashed the private release party at Balconies on the way to Dallas. They wouldn't sell me a bottle, but I did talk my way into a sample of the Wheated Bourbon. Pretty good stuff. Looking forward to actually getting a bottle.

My favorite excuse of the day was “we haven’t been getting any allocation bottles for the past couple months, they switched buyers on us and the new guy has been forgetting”

Drinking MWND tonight

[Anastasis 23,717]

Wheater @122. Yeah. In. 

Dont have any drives to Dallas in the schedule but bourbon finds a way. 

[texanbychoice 356]

Try it in a homemade manhattan.

[texanbychoice 356]

Well, I had no idea the price had drifted up to what it had on that bottle.

Does it go for $200 now?

Yes it is. My 2nd favorite rye. I found one in the wild about 1 hour north of NO yesterday..

Also, Props to Brown Water. That M10 is good.

And....?

Any honey holes to mine in Midland? Regrettably, I'll be there during Thanksgiving.

Nope. I was just out there all last week and went to both Pinkies and WB. Had them search their system for a number of good bottles and nada. I think the local bourbon group scoops up everything allocated out there. I went to Pinkies on Andrews Hwy at 10:30 one Thursday morning about 6 months ago (day the truck comes). The lady sold the entire case of W12 to the first guy that came in at 10.

At the absolute most, it should be around $130. That’s secondary market. Should be $90 or so on the shelf.

Do you have a link to Midwinter for $130? I'd do that every day of the week. 

 

[billfromlaketravis 11,867]

Well, I just got the call and immediately went to pick up my bottle of Birthday Bourbon. I know what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving. 

[Neonmoon 38,130]

It depends what Act. 

[Party_Taco 3,898]

I don’t care what anyone says, these two aren’t going out of style for me:

[Neonmoon 38,130]

Eagle Rare is one of my favorites

Yes. I can mule you some if you want. I can buy and have shipped to your address.

Just sign up with your real name. A major positive of the BSM is transparency in transactions and knowing who you are dealing with. 

[Neonmoon 38,130]

Aren’t some Acts better than others, hence the price range?

Picked mine up for $67.00. Same store had KO11 for $130 and ECBP for $57.

City, store please. 

 

[billfromlaketravis 11,867]

1910 is really good. I think the hype is warranted. Hopefully it stays available. 

Lots of caramel, but not overly sweet. Just enough heat to keep it interesting. 

I know they're owned by Jack Daniels, but Old Forester knows what they're doing. I think there's a lot of opportunities out there for them. A 12 year old 1920 or 1910 would be awesome. I hope they start store picks for the both.  

[Party_Taco 3,898]

So, I got a little antsy and figured I should search one more store... that was the right decision:



Today was a good day. Also, they had this beast wrapped up in a coffin-shaped box, but at $400 I couldn’t pull the trigger:

Covington Louisiana. I bought the last MND. They had plenty of the KO and ECBP. Acquiators or something similar. Its more of a grocery store. Winn-Dixie also had some Blantons.

What is the age of 1910?

Bought a bottle of Boss Hog to celebrate a buddy's wedding... mother of God. BTW I've seen it on the secondary market for double that price.

That good, eh? If I was into flipping I’d go back and pick them both up. I don’t know much about Boss Hog, but apparently someone intimately involved recently passed and this bottling was in his honor.
