A little EHT Small Batch last night.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Had another pour of the Bookers last night, loving this bottle. Then made the mistake of having a glass of regular buffalo trace, the 35 proof drop made me feel like I was drinking water, definitely going to "proof up" next time

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Or just start high and stay there.

High proof, potheads. ;) :r

Bourbon 'n BBQ for my daughter's 21st (almost) Birthday Saturday night

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Opened up a bottle of Early Times BiB yesterday, it was recommended to me to buy if I could find it, finally tracked a few down a couple weeks ago. Very smooth for a 100 proof $22 bottle, able to drink neat with no issues, but nothing too exciting in the flavor department. This will probably be used in cocktails in the future

I was pleasantly surprised at the price point, Ben, didn't think it was bad at all.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

A couple of the bottles coming to Shack this year.....

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Get your butt out here, Ben!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Doesn't look likely this year. Can you save them for next? Tom won't mind waiting :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Holy ****ing ****, Hugh. You will have to allocate so all the bourbon guys get a taste.

If you come up with any more that aren't going to Shack, I have cash and know how to use it. ;) :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yes, prob a shot for as many as possible so as many as possible can try.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Wow Hugh shack is always something to look forward to but another step up to look for :)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Last year when I brought the Four Roses someone asked if I didn't want to save it for my friends. I told him if you're at Shack, you're my friend.

1792 Single Barrel Last Night. Good Stuff!:tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Should we start the signup list now?! :dr :dr :dr

And I thank you for that my friend!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Mighty awesome of you Hugh!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That one's been on my "if you see it buy it" list for a little bit now. Still haven't seen it

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Good stuff right there! I have also made a nice BBQ sauce with a couple of shots of that.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Found the Booker's batch I have been searching for for months at a Mom&Pop liquor store yesterday...and at regular price. :tu

In the past few days I've tried the BiB from Dickel, McKenna and Early Times. While all were good, I'd probably rank the Dickel as my least favorite of the 3.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I saw a bottle of the Dickle BiB at the candy store last night and thought about picking up a bottle but wanted to hear what your impressions on it were after seeing your earlier post.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Which one? The Dickel? I had a case of it...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Stuff that's easy to get elsewhere is HTF in Colorado. I couldn't believe it when I went to MA and saw baby saz just on the shelf, here they post online that they have it with a one bottle limit and it sells out within an hour

The people who did the booze for our wedding are opening a B&M on Friday, sent us a 15% off anything coupon to use, think I'll go right when they open the first day and see if they have anything interesting. Last time I went blind to a liquor store opening there were a ton of whiskey fiends waiting as well and they didn't have anything too cool (other than the handles of ER), but this company does a ton of events and probably moves the volume to get allocate bottles so I'm hoping I can luck out

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Good luck at the event, Ben! Get us some GTS! :D

Good luck Ben I’m with Tom on the find stuff for us as well

Nice pours Tom looks like it would have been a good night watching hockey

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

When you are down here, remind me to take you to my preferred store. -(P

Grabbed these today just on principle, it's not around in IL all that much in my travels around the gin joints.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I used to buy those up every time I saw them at MSRP, I'm happy to drink that neat all day long. Only stopped because I have more of it than I can drink

I'll bring a checked bag :banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yeah, I have 3 full ones so I am done for now. :lr


I may BUY a checked bag when I am there if it's that good. ;) :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just 750s? -(P

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Never seen the 1.75 in IL. I did see the 1L Weller 12, but they wanted $250. Pass.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

For the longest time I couldn't find 750s of SR, only 1.75s. I was buying them up at <$40 each, eventually did find a 750 and added it to the collection for variety but that one's still sealed

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

1.75 under $40 is winning big. :tu

Saw a GTS 2017 today for only $699. :gary :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Great minds must think alike...I picked up a bottle of that last night while at the candy store. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Because you are even wiser than you are handsome. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Going to a concert up in Fort Collins tonight, gonna hit up a whiskey bar a couple blocks down and walk over. Their prices have gone up on certain things that seemed underpriced when I first checked them out, but I think I'll still be able to finds something I like :dr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Went to the liquor store opening, not too many exciting things. I did get the last of their two bottles of Taylor Rye but other than that and SR they didn't have much for allocated bourbon. After that hit up the gas station liquor across from my old apartment and found a bottle of C919 :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Now that's a good day, Ben! Taylor Rye rocks!

I've got a bottle of the C919 but have yet to crack it, I hear it's the best of 2019. I'm still working on an open A119.

Wish I could get that much good stuff at a non-exciting grand opening~! :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Finally tracked down a single bottle of Larceny BP on Saturday, had a pour of it on Friday and was very impressed. Called the store, they said they had one bottle and couldn't hold it, I rushed down to get it and as I was walking in the door a guy was walking out with it :sl

They did have one bottle of McKenna 10 year, so I picked that up instead, but not what I was hoping for
