Boy I got a damn good Brother in Law

[tprice]

Tprice, that Taylor has gotten rarer at least for me lately, enjoy it. And also to anyone else, I haven't seen Elmer Lee in like a year, quit asking.

Thanks. Never had it before. Love some BT and Eagle Rare as well as Blantons.

May crack it open tonight and do a little sipping

BIL bought himself a bottle of Rip Van Winkle for himself


Got a good friend that I am dead serious I hope/expect to see in the Govenors Mansion one day, told him WHEN he gets elected we gonna sit down and enjoy a bottle of Pappy at my expense

[nitro5x6's]

I'd rather have Blanton's than Pappy ..

I'm going back to Rebel Yell or Old Crow.

I didn’t care for the Taylor. It was a bit turpentine-y to me? Could just be a poor folk thing though.

I wouldn't wish that on a friend.

Blanton’s is some good stuff. Going to Buffalo Trace Friday to do the hard hat tour.

I agree. There rolled out a cart of it when we we at the distillery a while back and people were acting all walmarks on black friday over it. Meh

At least I will know that I can walk into the likka sto and leave with what I want. No one else wants to drink Old Crow or Rebel Yell around here. I may even upgrade to George Dickel..

I've had 12, 20, and 23 year and I agree. For my taste, Blantons cannot be beat.....

I wouldn't pass on the opportunity to buy a bottle at a reasonable price, but Pappy is a "look at me" thing. If it were as available as Woodford, nobody would give a shit....

[Highstrung]

I've had them all, they taste like bourbon. None of them should bring the prices they do at some stores or the secondary market.

Careful a hipster doesn’t see you. My go to for years was Hamm’s, Old Milwaukee and PBR. Then the hipsters started drinking them “ironically” and ruined it.

They’ve done the same with beards. But I refuse to give mine up.

[Highstrung]

The hipsters have already ruined Ancient Age.. do you know what it's like explaining to an 80 year old man what's happened to Bourbon?

[charlie horse]

Theyre starting to infiltrate the carpentry world.....you wants a $500 cutting board made from recycled skate boards or a live edge walnut coffee table with routed bow tie inlays for $2500?

I’ve just bugged you once or twice a year for the last 8ish Years about getting Alaskan Brewing Smoked Porter. I don’t expect any BTAC, but I better get that first case of Smoked Porter if it ever makes it to SC.

Called support and demand but pretty much agree with you

Funny note, this past summer Wife and I were at BT distillery and did the Hard Hat tour. Tour guide was good guy and said the Marketing Team for Blantons hit a home run with their bottle shape and keep supplies limited He said same as you, he has had every type of bourbon they make at BT and said all pretty much same to him outside of marketing

[Bigtimber2]

Seems like before Trump the fad was flavored Crown and IKEA furniture for most hipsters.

Ha, I remember that I still get asked for it every so often. Funny things that I don't tell anybody, the last beer I ever tasted was a Hopslam. It pisses me off to this day. I wish it was a bud heavy.

Yep, bourbon is nuts. I was on a list for allocated stuff at a store here, but I was #147 and I got nothing. The store gets a pretty good bit of the allocated stuff in November because they supply lots of restaurants and bars around Myrtle. Lots of folks get on the list because when they get it, they sell it at retail prices. I think the 10yr Pappy (Rip) was $69. Most of the folks that buy it are only getting it to sell on the secondary market. The owner and I had a talk about that and I think, next year, I will get something because they know I will drink it.
What I really want is Eagle Rare 17.

[Highstrung]

that's kinda what I do.. but I have a mental list, no paper. I have a circle of friends then a few solid customers. And that's not bad, the 10 years cost is around fifty still. It wasn't that long ago when I could barely give that stuff away

[MKW]

The "solid customer" is where I fall in with this store. The owner said, "You always ask for the back room stuff, but you always buy something even if we don't have any good stuff." Hopefully next year I'll get something from the big shipment.
