Speaking of raffles, anyone in Omaha area going to hyvees tomorrow? Should have BTAC and Pappy so I’m sure there will be 8,000 people at each location.

I wish the grocery stores down here did that. But we have liquor stores about every other block. No Kroger, no Hy-Vee, though. Schnucks will get some decent stuff in every once in a while, but it’s gone right away.
No clue. I think the only one I have ever had is regular Blanton’s in
just as an update, I left with nothing but my cock in my hand
I just won a Stagg Jr. in a separate raffle for $79–does anyone know if that is worth the price? I will probably get it

Yes get it. MSRP is $60 but $70-90 is most likely what’s it’s going to be at retail. Goes for $150-250 on secondary markets depending on the batch number, which you can figure out by the proof.

No, didn’t have my ice skates. Saw some pictures of what looked to be 100s of people standing in line. Not worth it IMO.

Yes, you absolutely get it. If you are new to bourbon, I wouldn’t open it until you get acclimated with higher proof bourbons, or you may not appreciate it.

You can make one with about anything, but I’d stick to something of moderate price and not much over 100 proof. Over that, and you are really going to have the bourbon overpower the other flavors of the drink.
Wow, this is like everclear levels of alcohol. Lol

You did well. Batch 23B, secondary value around $250
Higher the proof the better IMO. It all comes out of the barrel like that, the lower proof stuff just gets water added before bottling. Maybe try a wild turkey rare breed which I think is around 113 proof or old grand dad 114 to get used to the higher proof.
Best way to drink bourbon is the way you like it so not going to hate (unless you mix with coke) but I’d drink that neat or maybe a couple drops of water.

Bourbon Gods rewarded me for hooking up @Ironwardog with an ER at cost. Jacks in Fremont got a barrell pick in. Limit 2 but my dad also got two. Believe they are only putting out a couple cases a day. I went this morning with my dad around 11 and there were probably 15 out. It was $48 plus tax.
3 are spoken for but I’d razz one here for cost plus ship if there is interest. Razz is basically a 1/10 chance to win lottery determined by Illinois twice daily fireball drawing. Would probably do 2 spots max depending on interest.

Those get into the 130s for proof with some batches. I’ve only tried a couple, but it’s usually great stuff

Go tomorrow morning, hour round trip. Worth it even if they don’t have any ER out. Never leave there disappointed.

We should start doing Razzs/Fireballs here. I’d be down to try to get some good bottles and I have some I could fireball as well

Whenever I hear someone say Fireball…….(had a couple bad nights in college due to fireball)

I’ll get one of these ERs up soon to try it out. I don’t think I’m explaining how it works good enough.
This is the fireball bourbon crazed lunatics are referring to. Twice daily lottery. The fire number determines the winner. Twice daily draw at 12:35 pm and 9:15 pm God’s central standard time.Whenever I hear someone say Fireball…….(had a couple bad nights in college due to fireball)
