My local spot that was "no longer carrying allocated bottles" dropped Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel, Stagg Jr, this, Eagle Rare, and EH Taylor Small Batch. Missed out on the RHF and Stagg Jr. as I was aiming for those but this was a very sweet consolation prize: vanilla and fruits. Smooth and delicious all the way down. Recommended if you come across it (Act 8, Scene 2). Can't vouch for any other batch and this was my first time trying Midwinter Nights Dram.

I grabbed everything but the MWND yesterday. Tried the High West Double Rye and thought it was ok, nothing special. Haven't tried the American Prairie Bourbon or the 1792 Sib yet (the 1792 I got from a friend at cost who was looking to get rid of it). For $40, I figured it was worth taking a flyer on. Grabbed a second bottle of MWND today. Can't believe I've grabbed 2 bottles in the past 3 days. Still pressing my luck, hoping I can stumble upon a Rock Hill Farms SiB or Stagg Jr. that they had the other day.

I went out last night to grab a bottle of Red Spot that I heard dropped by me yesterday. I'd been looking for this for at least the last 6 months when I tried Green Spot and thoroughly enjoyed it. I understand Red Spot is a lot more difficult to come by so I jumped at the chance of procurring a bottle for myself. However, before I dispatched on my way towards picking it up, I was pleasantly surprised by a phone call I received. This was from another local store that I hadn't been in for a number of months (think 4-5 at minimum). They called to tell me they had a bottle of Stagg Jr. with my name on it. Not one to argue the absurdity of it all, I quickly got off the phone and grabbed this bottle before acquiring the bottle that was my intention of leaving my domicile in the first place.

Man, you have some collection i12

Have you ever had Red Breast or Middleton?

This week broke me financial DP, don't you worry. But I appreciate it. Some of these (like the Stagg Jr., Red Spot, Midwinter Night's Dram) only come out once a year, so you've gotta be prepared to buy them, otherwise you'll have to wait another year for it. And the Stagg Jr. and Midwinter Night's Dram I liked so much, I grabbed a second bottle as backup. To answer your question, no, I haven't tried Red Breast or Middleton. They're good?

Yes ....very good.

I am interested to see if a client of mine has had these, he is a huge whiskey enthusiast.

I missed a Spec's store pick of Colonel Taylor Single Barrel a few weeks back and rumor was there was going to be a Weller Full Proof store pick dropping soon and I was hoping it would drop today. Unfortunately it didn't and I'm not sure it will as there's another rumor going around that the Weller Full Proof was only for a certain area of the state and not my city. Today wasn't a total waste though as I'll take this as a consolation prize any day of the week (Blanton's Spec's store pick)!

Wow. I VE seen those bottles before really cool.

Enjoy

Thanks DP. Grabbed another bottle yesterday when I was visiting friends out of town. Not a bad haul for 2 days as these won't go to waste!

Shown those to my Wife , she said ...” you gotta have one of those on your bar”

I will certainly get one of those bottles.

Nice! Ever had it before?

Never had nor even heard of Hancock's Reserve until about a week ago. But the store I was at had it today and it's a Buffalo Trace product so I grabbed it. A $50 bottle and it's good, not great, and probably more in line with a $35-$50 bottle. Not disappointed I picked it up though. They were also handing out allocated Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Special Release Rye so I grabbed one of those as well (haven't opened it yet so the jury's still out).

I'm so fucking drunk right now. Beendrinkin all night and doin lots of snow. Do you guys only drin'k when you party

my favorite whiskey is jameson. Proper Irish

I only drink ralphie. I don't mess with anything else (cigarettes or otherwise). I'm not much for Irish whiskey (too low proof for me) but Bushmills and Green Spot I do like. Have you had either?

I drink only also, little whiskey and Rum.

Mostly Beer.

Too old for Blow, you better be careful Ralphie.... your taxing your heart enough with that weight.

That is 2 f...cking funny....here is an ass of guy 2 say online he does blow..clearly needs attn...years ago I knew he was a thumbsucker (baby)...said he lives in Beverly Hills..but probably lives in parents basement.....all his commentaries about the mob r half based...nice guy in real life 4sure..but anybody that advertises that they enjoy nose candy or otherwise should be more examined...

loll Im not a thumbsucker. What the fuck dude! I come from a very wealthy family in BH but currently live with my auntie in Anaheim. Yes I'm fat. Extremely fat. I love food but Im dealin with it. As far as the blow goes, it helps me deal with life. I was sober for many years but 2020 was bad

Dont worry about me. I dont do a lot. Maybe 2 grams a day or so

Ahhhh Ive had bushmills. I love it. Today Im drinking some VSOP

Who mentioned that I was referencing a guy named Ralphie???..I'm way 2 heavy 4 my size bracket also...but, as Bobbie Bacala said..."I love food"!!...I'm eating spanish blood sausage & rice w/beans as I write this......sorry if u thought i offended u dude.............now go get ur shinebox..oh, i;m sorry ..ur straw or rolled up dollar bill..lol...just fuckin' w/u kid...

you're my bro

Just poured myself a full glass of Jim Beam's Devil's Cut. You guys tried it?

I have and I wasn't a huge fan. Not a big fan of Jim or the higher proof stuff. I like to be in the 90%-105% range.

Geez I12...u must have a liver made of iron..cant believe ur around my or Dues age bracket...lol !!!

Just poured myself a full glass of Jack Daniel's. You guys like Jack?

Why do you say that?



Jack's definitely more my style 🥃

Just poured myself a full glass of Chivas Regal 12. Do you guys like that one? I can't function without it

I am mostly a beer guy, I can and do sip a few inches of Jamesons on occasion.

I have a pretty good stocked bar in my basement, I dont drink much of the stuff on it other than the wine and Jameson but like the way it looks.
I send a pic.

No offense taken. Like DP said, I'm more of a beer guy but somehow in 2020 I fell into the bourbon game. But like any hobby, I'm probably fall out of it just as quickly. But these bottles I'm buying, I'm cracking them to taste them and then putting them away. I'm not going through a bottle a night but with me being Irish, I never stood a chance if you know what I mean.
