I’m seeing a lot of Balmorhea on the shelves. Did this yrs’ batch just drop? If so, anyone tried it?

Haha no. They jacked the prices up 15-20% and now they sit…. I really like Balmorhea but won’t spend near $200 for one. Nope

I picked up a bottle last summer for a trip and hadn’t really seen Any since then, so I thought it might be this years batch. I was incredibly underwhelmed last year. It’d have to be much better to spend $180+ on one.

I had some Smoke Wagon in Vegas last week. How did you like it?

I had one pour a few months ago and liked it enough to look for it for a few months.

Finally gave up and my boss who got me into the whole bourbon thing sold me both of those bottles in that pic. He’s got about 150 bottles of all sorts of stuff and hooks me up when I can’t find something.

This is his haul in the spring with two other buddies when they went to Kentucky.

Green label Weller Special Reserve…. Worth buying, or hold out for the other Weller types?

If it’s close to msrp, it’s a great daily drinker.

ain't gotta necessarily drink every day for it to be a daily drinker. What that implies is that if you don't want to drink the more expensive stuff, it's a good choice to have a drink of. as long as you don't pay much for it. it's not bad stuff at all.

[Jason Fry]

Was mostly just meddlin' on the daily drink thing. I have no issue with it either way, but my wife gets grumpy if I drink one at all, so I tend to hold off.

Finally cracked open the Tumblin Dice store pick I have and I really enjoyed it. Really nutty on the nose and mouth to me. Also made friends with a store manager and was able to pickup some eagle rare at retail finally.

I've been buying whiskey the wrong way

I walk into local liquor stores and try to find special stuff, guess you gotta be the list to find certain things. My mistake is that I would still buy something, a bottle of "common" stuff or wine. When I walk into a store I always feel the need to buy something...Anyway, I stopped doing that. I've been walking it, looking around and leaving without buying anything. I guess the stores noticed me coming in, looking around and not buying anything so a few of them finally offered some of the goods they have been hiding.

Sipping on one of my favorites first this evening!

Usually goes the opposite way. Lots of stores sell to their good customers not just anyone asking for allocated stuff
