New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

thats one I don't get at all, buying samples from strangers

 

I don’t understand the willingness of people to purchase opened bottles on these secondary markets.

No. Negative. Not a damn chance.

 

Yeah that’s the heart of what I mean. This thread sure, random Facebook group? No chance

 

It’s not just for samples. It’s for raffling bottles, too. Usually slightly higher all in than if someone bought it outright. Annoying part is collecting payments from 10 people and worrying about PayPal or Venmo flagging your account.

 

Anybody have a line on W12 for 100 or less? I'd like to add it to my WSR, OWA, and WFP, but fuck what it's going for on resell right now. Only place I've seen it here has it at 150.

 

Won a bottle lottery from the state of Ohio. In 10 days, I'll spend $50 on a bottle of Weller Full Proof Single Barrel Select. Secondary prices look pretty high for the stuff. Fuck it. I can't wait to drink it.

 

It is delicious

Nice. Total Wine near me got some in stock today. Of course by the time I got there it was all sold out

 

Weller full proof is really good, want it to be readily available because it’s delicious.

 

Just arrived this evening

 

Looks like you need to make room on your shelf and slide one of those WLWs my way

 

For those with bountiful BTAC reserves, have you been able to acquire at retail?

If so, teach us, senpai.

 

Stagg was retail, called publix every day for weeks until they came in and scooped one up.

2 of the WLW’s were retail through ABC Vault, the other I won a raffle

 

Speaking of the Vault. Got the option to snag Yamazaki 18 today in a “bonus” access key.

 

got that also, was going to pick up a Yama 18 for pperc but he was too slow answering my text

 

What the hell is that going for on secondary?

 

That was my Publix tip!

 

Like 8 minutes slow.

 

600-650

 

About $200 more than what I bought it for. I only buy my bottles for consumption but damn if it’s not tempting to dip my toes in selling on secondary for profits

 

Yamazaki 18 is a great pour. It’s also discontinued or will be soon.

 

for both? visa you dog

 

I like the bottle condoms they’re in

 

Shoutout to Degausser and g8r for the hookup.

 

Wild Turkey 17 BiB is my new white whale.

 

found out I am getting the Weller CYPB in the OHLQ lottery, there are a bunch of bottles I would love to try over it soooo pm me if interested

 

pperc

 

Thx

I acquired a very cunty glass

 

It's so good.

 

That looks awesome

 

ECBP B520 worth the hype? Just grabbed one and wondering if I should go back and get the last bottle.

 

Definitely worth $60, not sure what price tag the hype is associated with though.

 

I got a big tax return. So I went back and grabbed the Blanton’s.

 

B520 spree

 

It's delicious.

 

My local store has the Hakushu 12 for $109, is that a buy?

I see that it is being discontinued but wasn’t sure if that demanded an auto-grab

 

that's a good price currently if you like japanese age stated whiskey. used to be around 85, though.

 

A bar near me is selling two ounces of Al Young To Go for $28. I’d be crazy not to buy as much as I can, right?

 

its a 1000 bottle on secondary so that's almost $40 an ounce. So yeah, ask to buy the rest of the bottle with the bottle.

 

I bought ten ounces. That’s all they had. Wouldn’t give me the bottle.

 

Ive lost more raffles trying to get an Al Young than I care to acknowledge.

 

I’ve lost a few too and never have even had the chance to try it.

 

How is the Larceny BP compared to ECBP? I’m a huge fan of the ECBP 520. Have 3 bottles stashed away. Haven’t tried the Larceny yet though

 

I like ECBP much better. The larceny was fine but I’m not a big wheater either.

 

I'm the exact opposite of you. I love the Larceny BP, but I haven't tried ECBP yet.
