Nice. I bought my dad a bottle of that when he turned 65 ( 5-6 yrs ago now). And I paid $400. Now it’s up to $600-800.

Bullets rye isn't bad for the money. Blanton's is excellent. Monkey shoulder is very unique the banana gives it an interesting flavor that just works. Angels envy is very good especially as you climb the pricing ladder. Buffalo Trace is another that isn't horrible for the price. I am a big rye guy. Keep em coming.

Love the taste of Buffalo Trace but that shit can flat give you a hangover.

Finally got around to adding a couple shelves to my bar to clean off the bar top.

Oh and the Elijah Craig straight rye is a great pour for less than $30.

Got this handed to me by my whiskey guy when I picked up my latest order for being a loyal customer. Will be cracking this open when I pull that 79 Eliminator Sport Cruiser v-drive into my driveway.

 

[LGETT]

Haven’t had a Dickel that i liked.........

Agreed, Sour Mash Michter's is a Go To

Nice.

For me the EH was better once I opened the bottle and let it breath for a bit.

 

[renodaytona]

If you want to sell let me know.

Already opened it up and did the neck pour. Looking forward to the next pour off that bottle.

This is what happens when both you and your wife go to the liquor store the same day without telling one another.

This thread has me Jones'n for a shot of Blantons.

Had some Jefferson Ocean last night. I like the hint of sweetness at the end. Did a side by side comparison with Jefferson. The ocean is worth the extra money in my opinion.

Had a tragedy the other day. Tail broke of my letter "S" top. Anyone know if they are fixable?

What voyage did you have? The wheated mashbills of voyages 19 and 22 are really nice. Seems softer, and a little sweeter. They just released another… voyage 25, going to try and pick one up soon.

Whiskey Wedensday!

This is a store pick from El Cerrito Liquor. 128.6 proof and has that high proof bite. Lot's of vanilla notes and a hint of banana.

A little rough neat but an ice cube makes it pretty enjoyable

Jazz from El Cerrito had some good single barrel picks. I had his jack pick that was 130 something a couple of years ago.

 

[renodaytona]

My whiskey guy got his single barrel pick from Frey ranch in and dam is it tasty! It does not drink like 126 proof, more like a mid 90 proof and full of flavor.

 

[Pivot]

Sorta bourbon. The best ive had in can. If you can find it, buy it

Picked up a single barrel Buffalo Trace barrel pick from Elcerrito liquor. Can't wait to crack it. Jaz has the best stuff.

Little place out in Manor Texas (Austin)

 

[Done-it-again]

Batch #8

1 to drink and 1 to keep. 6 and 7 were awesome. Will see how 8 is.

 

[TPC]

Bars in these parts still having a tough time getting Blantons. But is starting to reappear.
Those that drink it usually buy rounds at $35 a pour.

 

[69hondo]

Happy national bourbon day.

 

[Done-it-again]

I have a few Blanton's that I don't have room for......Anyone want to trade for something? I'll pay up as well.

That’s a great bourbon ! The single barrel rye is also delicious. Super impressed with Frey Ranch’s high proof line .

 

[Gelcoater]

JD fans?
Anyone had this yet?
Got a taste earlier today.
Has a bit of bite neat.
I think one cube would make this quite enjoyable.

 

[CarolynandBob]

Picked up two bottles of Blantons yesterday. $80 plus tax. Got one letter I needed for the set. Bought the other for a friend.

 

[Done-it-again]

Just picked this up today from a raffle. Debating if I will open it.

 

[Music to my Ears]

This should make for a nice tasting tonight.

I've got a good friend that is the beverage director at a high end market. They get a few bottles of the Barrel Proof and 4 Grain each year. She usually calls me when something interesting comes in!

Nice. I’m trying to get the whole E.H Taylor line, hard to do with out spending 300% over retail.

 

[DoughBallin14]

Baby number 2 c-section is first thing in the morning at Kaiser Riverside!

Awesome. Make sure you find the 2 different “N”s to finish off the set.

 

[Gramps]

I'm in a quandary........I have an unopened bottle of George Stagg 2020 that I have been saving, 130.4 proof. It cost me a whopping $99.00. I saw the other day at a couple of online liquor stores it going for $1299 - $1499. Might be time to sell

Check the batch # as some go for more than others.

The value will not lose money the longer you keep it. It’s been this way for a long time on the secondary market.
