    Did a little shopping this morning. 1.75 of Buffalo Trace for $44 and Clyde May’s 11 year for $119. Restocked on the deliciousness of OF1910 too

    Probably controversial, and may depend on price. If you can get it around $125 or less I wouldn't hesitate. If it is bloated to $2-300 probably no. I do love my Blood Oath though. I have Pact 2 and it is a mixture of all my sweet spots, wheated and high rye bourbons.

    This place has it at a fair price but they don't ship to NY.

    Is the Clyde Mays the cask strength? Seems so at that price. One of my favorites, but multiple opinions here.

    Yea 120 proof. I have the 10 year 114 proof already and the 11 is the first I’ve seen at that price so I jumped on it. I love the Granny Smith Apple profile.

    Yes, same. I am on my third bottle. That is a solid price, but it typically doesn't sell much higher than retail.

    For me, I would. Others may disagree. This years doesn't feature a wheated bourbon in the mix, but they are really mature bourbon rye mashes so it should be interesting.

    Had to go do a site visit over in another part of DFW I’m not usually in - popped into a store on my way back & they had Maker’s cask for $40 & Country Ham for $100 (not including tax) if anyone needs me to grab one for them.

    Well that was quick, considering it came from California during a pandemic. ECBP C918.

    I’ve stayed away from bourbon for a year or two, but there were too many single barrel store picks to pass up.

    The only time I’ve seen the barrel proof on the shelf it was selling for $90. I’m hoping at some point I can come across it for msrp

    Evan Williams had curbside pickup so for $130 you got the Curaçao and a little tribute bottle of Evan Williams with "Thank you to the Helpers, Healers & Heroes. #KYStrong 2020" engraved on them.

    Snagged one for pperc and g8r as well.
