Spec’s on Brodie in Austin is sitting on 6 cases of Eagle Rare for $24.99 cash.

Much appreciated good sir! The south location told me they don’t plan to see it until spring time.

I still have a bottle of Black Maple Hill (KY) I’d be willing to barter.

If you can find it, Red River is some really good Bourbon.
Made in Carrollton Tx.

TX, Balcones, Garrison Bros, Red River, Silver Star

Silver Star is not a bourbon, and Red River is sourced from out state and put in a cool Texas type bottle. Ranger Creek (San Antonio) age their own barrels. .36 is good.

Anyone seen Weller 12 black label lately? Been a while since I’ve found it. Blanton’s has been easier to find.

Where can you find Blantons, i don't see it around my neck of the woods. I'm stuck with Fighting Cock and Old Crow!!!

I have posted it before, if you are looking for a sort of "quality control" stamp on a bottle you are thinking about, look for two phrases "Distilled and Bottled by_________" or "Bottle in Bond". Some will go as far as "Distilled, Aged, and Bottled by_______". The Bottle in Bond stamp, is the Eagle Scout of the bourbon world. It has the most standards in accordance to law that have to be satisfied before it can be called BIB.

Sourced bourbons use words like "Produced and Bottled by_____" They can't use the former because they don't actually make it. There are only 3 or 4 real Texas Bourbons where they control the product grain to glass as they say.

I know it stinks when you find out one you like is sourced. I am a good label reader but I have been burned a couple of times not paying close attention. But I am in the minority where that matters, most people drink what they like and don't care where it came from. Neither of which is wrong, just personal preference.

Rebecca Creek, Longhorn and TX are my favorites. I wanted to try the new stuff made in Waco(Balcones) but the price was too steep for a trial run.

Thanks for the lesson .270
I suppose I'll still drink it because I like the taste but now I've lost the Texas pride that came with it.
