So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

I don’t have message board kingpin money, I’m just talking about the regular bottles.

I actually got my three golds for free. I ordered them from some company in Germany and then waited MONTHS. Eventually the company reached out and said they must be lost and refunded me. Then a few more months passed and they were on my porch 😂

I actually tried reaching back out to let them know I got them and never heard back 🤷‍♂️

Sure sure. Just like you’re spreading rumors that Nebraska will drop German owned Adidas for Nike

I like it but wouldn’t pay $99 a bottle. Probably $70 max. People will buy it for $99 though.

I’d buy it for $99 but I’ve never had it. How is is it different than their normal offering?

Are we talking EH Taylor SB ? I think that’s the post you are responding to. I think it’s an always buy in the 60- low 70s and a maybe from mid 70s to mid 80s. Good butterscotch flavor - great cold weather bourbon

Has anyone gotten a Wild Turkey Beacon? I have been after one hard, but no luck..

You’re talking about eh Taylor small batch? That is the normal offering. I’m a know if I like it or not bourbon drinker and I do enjoy it but I also enjoy a lot of stuff that can be easily found on the shelf so I personally wouldn’t pay much over MSRP.

Sorry - I was referring to Blanton’s Gold.

Love your take on EH Taylor though.

Just scored this Eagle Rare 12. I’ve never seen a 12 in the wild before.

Which package did you find that had that?

Hell I thought I was lucky, a couple of weeks ago I had to do a parts run to Norfolk and stumbled upon a fresh display of eagle rare 10. Let us know how it is!

That’s a good get.

I’m lucky if I EVER see any of the Buffalo Trace products in store down here.

Heard the Stoney Brook Hyvee location was a shit show in terms of their draws yesterday. People got in line at 9:45 AM and only 1/3 was through the line to get their ticket, they started to draw for their bottles.

Also heard that someone brought their family of five and they ended up getting several first picks of bottles while the main guy of the family directed which bottle to grab to one of the other 4.

I seriously wish bourbon would go back to being the unpopular, stodgy old man drink.

I could find whatever I wanted before assholes started collecting bottles and blogging about it.

The assholes I’ve seen HORDE bottles of whiskey, I.e. eagle rare, making it so damned hard for the rest of us to find a bottle here or there to actually enjoy it.

I wish we could even get it down here so they’d force purchase limits.

Right now it’s ‘zero’, because there isn’t any Blantons, Weller, Eagle Rare, Taylor or even Trace to buy.

Yeah, most of my purchases have been off of Nebraska Bourbon discords for buy/sale/trades. Most of the bourbon I want (Buffalo Trace produces and Penelope) have been 2nd hand.

I've had to force myself to keep things sane on bourbon collection by limiting my taste for it.
