ABC Vault pick today. Didn’t get the email till 2pm. All that was left was Midwinter and Little book 4. They had a great lineup today with George T Stagg and Weller 12yr and Antique
Ummmm and a 4rsmble....and willet7 yr. I got three keys but my damn cc didn’t autofill and slowed me down. Got a gts, etl, and mwnd. Not bad except I barely missed on a second gts
Also looks like I might be booking a customer event at Buffalo Trace in September or October bus from cincy, tour, presentation and lunch, 2nd distillery bus back to Cincy
Is Michters US-1 Bourbon hard to find? Local store has it set out with the other allocated items but I felt like I had seen it around town on the shelves before.
Negative. Nothing wrong with it, but plenty I like better for the price. Related, I think Michters 10 hit Georgia this week.
Glad I passed on it then. Picked up a McKenna 10 instead. Looking forward to trying it for the first time Any chance Michter's 10's hit the shelves at MSRP? Or is that a bottle that either goes to special customers/sits in a glass case at secondary?
Anyone here from Arkansas? I have a friend in Little Rock this weekend looking for some good spots to hunt
All depends on the store, but more likely it’s held for the best customers or a raffle or put on a purple pillow in a glass case.
Haha yeah thats true, I didnt take into account that larceny is the wheat mash bill. We won't see the benefit of this for 12 years then.
I finally just heard back from my liquor store and it looks like samples of Angel's Envy BP store pick are on the way. He is very tough to nail down though, so I hope this is legit and he still understands what we are doing. Edit: Actually just spoke to him on the phone. We are going to try to split a 4R and an AE with him. He will take the rest for the store. Pretty sure the AE is in a Port Cask. Thoughts?
Yea let’s do it. Especially a good 4R barrel. The OESV 11+ year recent run of PS 58- barrels have been really good.
Should easily be more than enough for the thread then. The AE sounds intriguing, definitely report back on the sample NYGator
For sure. I am actually pretty excited about the AE. Bottle is really nice looking like all of their bottles. I absolutely love my cask strength 2020 release also.
I won't know for a while or price, although that YouTube video makes it sound like the AE is not cheap (~$100 per bottle), but also goes for a shit ton on secondary.
Again, once I have this all sorted I will start a new thread and create a google sheet to organize this. Posters in this thread obviously get priority and we know who they are.
