    This is the line today....Blanton's I guess
    Bourbon Bros!

    EDIT: So I just checked that site and they only offer regular bottles.  People wait 2 hrs for a regular damn bottle of Blantons or Taylor?  The Oak project would be cool to get as I have been dying to get one since I read about it.  I posted on here a while back about it.

    2 hrs for a $63 bottle...  Come on now.  Why the hell are they doing that for?

    Big blue!!


    I've had both.  I've also done the 12yo Lot B.  People say the 15yo pappy is the better one.  Haven't had it yet to try.

    Anyone line them up and taste test?
    2 years ago I was able to sample the complete Pappy lineup from the 2020 release. As well as all the BTAC.
    The 15yr was the fave and most everyone didn't like 23yr too oakey.
    For me the ER17 was my fave of the BTAC.
    Thanks for that.  I have heard that which is why I asked.  The 23 I had was 6 years ago now and I loved it.

    For BTAC the William LaRue Weller has been my favorite.  A drop of water and that opened it right up.  Amazing flavor to that.  The ER17 has been a unicorn wrapped up in an enigma for me.  Unless you pay $5k it won't be bought out here.

    How were they?  Owl bourbon and rye have been on my radar but I'm not paying the mark up for them.

    KO, in my opinion, has lost a bit over the years.  The OGs are still good, but not worth the price.  Wiseman is just trash.

    Some would call it a unicorn because it's impossible to find, especially at MSRP. And the Weller lineup has bloodlines with Pappy, which makes people chase and hoard it.

    If I had that chance, I'd take it every single time. It's delicious, and a great value at $50-60. Congrats!

    The rest is for a public sale

    I had to ask. I have yet to try Eagle Rare. It might as well be Pappy around here.

    Seriously?  It's really good.  Want me to get you a bottle?  Last I checked these were easy enough to get.

    maybe...let me know cost. I don't mind paying some premium but I don't want to waste your time

    I'll check prices and get back to you.  If they are overcharging I won;t bother and let you know.

    Weller Full Proof is fantastic (at retail).  I won a Weller FP store pick from Total Wine, last year or the year before and it is delicious!  The year before that I was selected for a EH Taylor Full Proof.  Also fantastic.  Those Total Wine "lotteries" or whatever they are, are pretty much my only chance at getting really good bottles.  I'm not a hunter, I don't wait in lines....I'm more of a "I'm gonna check out the whiskey section" while I'm at the store and hope for the best.  That and Total Wine's thing.

    It is good whiskey for sure, but not above MSRP.  At MSRP it punches way above it's price point.

    Saw a FB post w a guy and 6 bottles of Buffalo Trace in his cart.  I told him that isn't rare but if people like you buy all of it up then it will create a false scarcity.

    He replied that they do not see it down where he is often so he loads up.  

    I told him to re read what I wrote...

    Buffalo Trace rare?  Really?

    Also A local spot I go to has Blantons for get this... $169!  GTFOH.
