Good bourbon?

Garrison brothers, should be around 250 for their top of the line @JBraun and should be available at total wine or bevmo.
Hey! Found something you'll love on Total Wine:

It's HOT. Like when I drink it I feel like I should be out in a Wyoming in -20 degrees winter.

Garrison Brothers is nice n' good. I've a Balmorhea in the cabinet that was presented as a gift and even the HoneyDew is pretty kick as, too (heh, that rhymes). Ironically, the wife drank most of the latter.

W12 is shitty. Weller Single Barrel, W12 and WSR are all crap.

CYPB, WFP, W107....thats where it's at.

This is just a conflict management strategy among friends. Long and short: A couple of weeks ago, I was supposed to be running a marathon with some friends. I had to bail so I could head to Florida and help my parents with flood damage. They paid me back for my share of our lodging, which was unnecessary.

Years ago we agreed that in situations like this, the unclaimed funds must be used toward a single bottle of whiskey. In this case it's $300, which is more than I would ever spend. Buffalo Trace is always on the shelf for $24 and that's good enough for me.

@JBraun I've got a 16yr Exceptional Series Rare Character that I'd move for $300. It'd be a very unique bottle that you can't find anywhere else and gurantee'd the others haven't had.
 
Just stopped by for a bottle of my standby OldFo and they had a Weller Millennium up on the allocated shelf. Kinda surprised it wasn't under lock and key at $7500!:eek:
 
Does anyone have any experience selling bottles online? I picked up an Eagle Rare 17, Van Winkle 10 and 12, and a single barrel Weller. If I can’t make any money I’ll drink them, but I figured I’d look into it first.

I couldn't really figure it out in the 20 minutes I spent looking when I won that bottle. If it was ok to sell as a casual collector, or if totally illegal cause you couldn't really verify the legality of the buyer. Then there's brokers and such. I called one place in DC, they offered an ok offer, but then just ended up calling a buddy with a huge collection and expendable income and he bought it off me that day haha. Maybe try the first route I did and call a place in your town that deals with rare/fancy shit and see if they wanna give you a 60% of retail offer or something?

Okay bourbon snobs; $300 to spend on one bottle. Go.

I know slight deviation (as in not Bourbon), but for $300 I'd grab a bottle of Oban 18yr. or Balvenie 21yr. Portwood scotch. I can't think of much more enjoyable for that price point. Its a shame because both of those have essentially doubled in price since like 2010 with popularity, but those would be my go-to's in that general vicinity.

Hell yes I do....and those are primo bottles!

ORVW 10yr - 650
12yr Lot B - 750
Weller Si.B. - 450
ER17 - 1400ish depending on year.

Be glad to help you or discuss details via PM.
 
Last month, we were drinking old fashioneds out of a pair of Mason jars, with all of the family, on the old homestead.
That recipe is truly appropriate according to “guest of honor”, and sure helps take the sting out of the situation, with those that really knew her.
RIP big sister.
 
I broke down and bought an old fashioned smoker kit.

Shoulda done it sooner.

Great way to close out a Saturday night

Sorry for your loss.

Sounds like she was there sipping with you, though.

When my pops was delirious and near death, one of his last coherent statements was "" Vanilla ice cream... and cherry coke"" . I think ol man thought he was at the soda fountain.

But the night he passed, we all sat around the table telling stories about the man over cherry coke/vanilla BlueBell floats.

Damn eyeballs are sweating.....
