So my buddy was displaced during the wildfires in Oregon about a month ago and ended up at a friends house. He sent me picture after picture of top shelf bourbon and I couldn’t comprehend how this guy got everything. Turns out he’s friends with a distributor and these are a couple pics of his collection.
To be clear I hate this person and never met them. Also I will be super friendly if I can come over and drink that when this is over.
The night my buddy was there he opened an Amarath, WLW, Stagg, Pappy 15, Pappy 20, Weller FP, and ER 17. He had all of those open and those on the wall are his extras...
Anyone know if this year’s BT Experimental (12 year Wheated) has hit distribution yet? I realize I’ll never see one in a store but I haven’t seen it pop up on secondary either. My dad doesn’t really understand the rarity of some of these releases and read an article about it and keeps telling me to keep an eye out for it. Wanted to see if I could pick one up off secondary to surprise him with for Christmas but not sure if that’s even possible.
if you had to pick one between blaum bros oldfangled, mwnd, widow jane 14 vaults, Old Fitz 13 or 15, which one are you picking?
I ordered a case of this to put in one of my barrels. I have a feeling it may come out really good, at least I hope it does.
What is secondary of ORVW 10 year? Local shop has one at $400 and a buddy is there contemplating buying it.
That's probably a little below secondary right now, because all of these are even more inflated than last year. That would have been last year's secondary.
That used to be a little high, but I think it’s closer to $450 now. I would not buy it from that fuck face store.
Sadly, it’s spiked to 550-600 now. However, several groups have outright banned all VW sales due to fakes, so he’ll need to find some specific groups.
i would not know that, our whiskey club allocation drop is today, was trying to decide on which 5 bourbons to list that they would potentially fill
Driving from Vancouver to LA all the way down the I-5. Anyone west coasters know of any liquor stores to stop at along the way?
BSM 6.0 is the largest sell group, then there are a ton of spin-off razzle groups, Megafireballz probably the biggest.
First time seeing this, I really like it for a $55 barrel proof rye. It’s a limited edition double rye blend, 103.6 proof finished in Syrah barre (Total Wine pick.) Plus the bottle is a really cool rainbow effect coloration.
Just finished off a taconic founders rye store pick, very solid. First impression I had from one of their non rye options was pretty awful
Anyone had the woodinville rye? I’ve liked the barrel proof and regular bourbon, so wondering if the rye is worth a pickup at $39.
pikesville still my favorite rye, do they do a barrel proof? intrigued by the woodinville barrel proof
Or spend a shit load of money at one store. Preferably a smaller store so you can get face time with the owner each time you go in. But big enough to where they move a good amount of bottles and get good allocations.
