New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Fucking picture for ants. I been meaning to try some of that

 

I’m sorry, but you’re gonna have to find a different abbreviation for Wilderness Trail.

 

Wilderness Trail 17 Bottled in Bond

 

I have a store pick wilderness trail and while I very much enjoy it, smooth isn’t the word I’d use to describe it.

 

Any places in Chicago near loop for store picks?

 

warehouse liquors

 

I want.

 

Killed my cypb tonight.

 

Alabama put birthday bourbon on the Saturday release next week for certain stores. Can’t imagine what the lines will be. Not sure why they didn’t just do it at the December full lotto

 

Fucking visa

 

Just drank my EHTBP and GTS ‘19 back to back for the first time and realizing they’re pretty much the same. GTS has just a little more stank on it

 

George T STANK

 

AggieVillain if you want OWA or WFP the twin liquors here have it right now in the back. You just have to ask for it and they may make you buy some wine too.

 

Nice random find

 

Spooky

 

Damn

 

I’ve really enjoyed this store pick.

 

No pictures but im sipping on an OKI store pick tonight post game

 

Fantastic Sat night lineup

 

How's the watershed? I always like supporting local distilleries, but I've heard mixed things.

 

I really like their bottled in bond and most of their offerings. This one is 120 proof and comes through really hot

Do you make the ice cubes or do you have a fancy fridge?

 

I make them.

 

Apparently they have samsung fridges now that can make those on demand

 

They are very big

 

LG not samsung

Here to report my new LG fridge makes the craft ice and it’s glorious.

 

Rare breed with a 2” ice ball right now watching Pac 12 after dark

 

Grabbed my Ohio lottery winnings today

 

Like she's gonna have a sip of this bottle

 

This is good to know. Almost out of my last bottle of WFP so if I make it there I'll definitely ask!!

 

Can anyone PM me if they can help me find a secondary market to buy a bottle? Need to get something good as a wedding present.

 

Saw one of these today. Price tag was $299.99

 

What are you looking for? There’s a reasonable chance people in here can help

 

that's a little below the going secondary rate. I'm seeing $315-350ish

 

Maybe for a store pick. I see them for $250 all day on secondary

 

I'm always shocked to see the prices on these random ass bottles of EHT. Some of them are $2k+

 

Like what

 

Next time I see a 2k+ one I'll post it. Amaranth Grain of the Gods went for $1450 recently.

 

Sure, limited edition one time EHT releases go for premium on secondary. Sour mash is $20k. They are for collectors.

 

how is that stuff allocated? How does a store/bar/restaurant end up getting a barrel of that?

 

No one’s getting a barrel of those. The EHT line has essentially been used by Buffalo trace as their experimental line. It’s why you get a whiskey with amaranth as its primary grain, and unique things done with the staves like cured oak, seasoned wood, etc.

 

ok so take my question, replace the word barrel with bottle, and same question.

 

Most restaurants are likely to have a bottle allocated depending on relationships with distributors, same with liquor stores. Those bottles can be allocated in a number of ways by stores from lotteries, to long lines on well advertised releases to the bland rarity of a bottle just sitting on a shelf.

 

How often do yall ever roll up into a random liquor store and find something that is relatively rare in the wild/hot on secondary market? Has never happened to me.

 

Never unless its priced well above secondary.
