I had a dentist appointment and randomly stopped at a place 45 minutes before open afterwards. 3rd in line. They had at least a case. Guy that’s 1st in line says he’s leaving and coming back because a store 10-15 minutes down the road had 2.5 cases of Blanton’s survive the line. He gets back like 30 minutes later saying he was able to get one
Correct. This all started with me asking RockHardJawn39 for a recommendation on a bottle for my stepdad for Christmas either in 2020 or 2021, I don’t really remember. I asked about for $100, he said spend $50 and get OWA instead of anything for $100. Whole thing blew my mind and then I started trying to step up my stepdad’s collection. Enjoyed getting my hands on good stuff. He and my SIL’s husband are big fans so try to get stuff for both of them and have also sent some stuff to TheFreak55 Though when I go to GA in May, SIL wants to do tasting so hopefully I’ll find something in his collection I like and maybe start keeping some
My stepdad has been loving it. His birthday was last week and I gave him a bottle of Eagle Rare and Larceny BP plus my mom gave him a Blanton’s (all of this came from TMB) so he was blown away
I would probably agree but Larceny BP is pretty damn good too. Especially if he likes weated bourbons.
oh for sure, the c922 was one of my favorites last year. sending him a store pick ECBP that drinks way above its weight. Same picker as that one I ran for 15ish TMBers last year.
Any of our Georgia guys seen the Fiddler finished in Amburana barrels? Would be super interested in trying that out
I can agree with that but out here in cali, blantons is a big trade commodity. I would buy them at a decent price just to trade for other stuff.
lol well im in a big socal trade group and blantons is basically the trading coin. people collect them just to get enough to trade for the big stuff. pappys, btac etc. but a couple blantons can get you a decent amount of good bottles. ec18, w12 etc.
I’ve been slammed at work but sent over the Venmo last week NYGator , will get the label done tomorrow.
How is WR double oak? And how much should I pay for it? Feel like it’s way overpriced at my local place. Still new to bourbon but really starting to enjoy it. Buddies say I need to try the double oak. So far my favorite has been the Russell’s Reserve 10 year.
It's usually around 50-60 I think. I like Russel's Reserve more personally. Really good deal for a 10 year age statement.
