Quoted from Chisox:Hey man your taste in bourbon is only outdone by your taste in vinyl.
I can hope one day I can share a bottle, some tunes, and a few games of pin with you. (:
Quoted from Chisox:I really love this stuff.
[quoted image]
I can tell. That bottle looks empty. (:
BTW, new basement looks great. Makes me want to have a few and get Dialed In.
Quoted from Chisox:Thanks! Yeah we’re pretty happy with the way it turned out. If you’re ever in town, look me up. We can flip, spin some tunes, shoot some guns, and drink some bourbon.
oh baby, you got me goin’.
Come TN way, we’ll show you some southern hospitality.

Quoted from luckycreature:Any crossover Brandy fans here?
What's a crossover Brandy?
Got some crossover rum here.
Not a bourbon though, sorry. (:
Quoted from djreddog:Relatively new to the bourbon world, about 6 solid months under my belt. I’ve had Bulliet, Makers, Woodford, Blanton’s and maybe 1-2 more I can’t remember. Really enjoy Blanton’s. Stopped today to grab another bottle and noticed this sign, anything worthy and is anything grossly over priced?[quoted image]
Get the Stagg. I’ll pay the shipping too.
Quoted from swillie:I agree the Stagg is the only one priced within reason, although I still way over priced for what it is in my opinion.
I’d ask about some Stagg Jr.
Usually under $100 and good stuff.
Quoted from Grandnational007:Yeah, I definitely like my bourbon...
This is the "small" bunker down by the machines. I did a little rearranging the other evening.
I'm glad that I used to be able to buy owa by the case for $140 out the door, especially now that the new retail cost has climbed to roughly $50 per bottle in CT, if you can even find it. Forget secondary, its at or over $100 now.
I'm also a fan of EC. Glad I hoarded it too, prior to the age statement removal, believe I used to get those for about $200 a case.
My real go-to's are BT and ER, but they are starting to creep up too. I go out of my way to get store picks of nearly any BT product, as they are usually superior. It helps when you are on the tasting panel, haha.
crazylevi Still working on that Lexington, huh? As to answer your question, Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace are certainly solid (around $32 and $29 in CT). Weller Special Reserve ($20) isn't bad either, but is hard to find these days.
My real secret these days, which I'll probably regret for sharing is Wild Turkey 101 ($22). The trick is to find new bottles, however. Flip the bottle around and look at the tiny laser etched code. Anything beginning with GG (the first G being 2018, and the second G representing the 7th month, July) is good to go. I read an interview with the master distiller, Jimmy Russel, who stated that due to the release of Wild Turkey Longbranch last year, they were short of the usual 6 year old barrels they regularly used to batch WT101 with, so to keep up, they dumped a ton of 10 year old barrels instead! It's now outstanding. I drink it straight, mostly; but on the rocks, mixed with a diet coke, even in a cocktail are all excellent. It's great stuff nowadays.
A couple other great ones are any of the bottled-in-bond bottom shelfers. Old Grand Dad BIB, Evan Williams BIB, Jim Beam BIB. All highly undervalued.
Finally, any of the Jim beam selects (disteller's cut, black, etc.) are all very good, especially when they are under $23. Don't over pay for these. I've seen them as high as $35 and laugh. If you like the Beam profile, you'll love these. And if you really like the Beam profile, splurge once in a while and get a Booker's; it's essentially the honey barrels of Beam, at barrel proof. Great stuff, especially before they raised the price from $49 to $79 a couple years ago.

Hey, those Stagg rows are growing thin...
I tried to locate some Stagg this week and no luck... Stagg or Stagg Jr.
Quoted from Chisox:Thirsty Thursday.
[quoted image]
Search and search.... can't find anywhere local.
Might be time for internet!
Quoted from mrm_4:No pins available to play in Nashville but I hit the blantons hard. Bar tender gave me the cork when I killed the bottle.
[quoted image]
If you have another night, hit the Whisky Kitchen. Good folks and nice place for a few drinks.
Quoted from vaevictis:2018 GTS!?! What organ did you sell; rather who's organ you sell; to get that?
Quoted from djreddog:Why? Is it hard to find?
Yeah...
Quoted from djreddog:Hmmm. Could have swore one of the local stores has several bottles...
Get them and let me know how much to send ya..
Quoted from djreddog:What’s a solid price point on these? Don’t want to pay over inflated prices.
I never found it on the shelf locally. A few stores would have some but keep it behind the counter. Even those around here like that were like finding hens teeth.
Quoted from MikeO:Birthday bourbon. My wife picked these two up while visiting our son in VA last week for my birthday.[quoted image]
+5 for "the wife pickup"
Quoted from Whysnow:Nice!
If you ever want to sell the OFBB, it is the wife's favorite.
WFT is going on around here?! Was I that clueless?!
Quoted from Chisox:Man fulltilt living large. Stagg and 23 yr PVW? I’m sipping Wild Turkey 101 and acting like I’m all that lol.
I made a "small" toast when I got it home. (:
Quoted from Chisox:I’ve had the 20 but not the 23. Report back on how it is. Either way, cheers my friend and enjoy.
I'm 63. When I hit that magic full retirement age of 66 I'll let you know. God willin'..
Quoted from vaevictis:Yes, I'm leaving right now. Should be there in about 12 hours. Seriously though, how in the hell did you find a 23 year in the spring?!? I have pins about that age and worth about that on the secondary....half my collection is probably worth the secondary market value of that bottle. (Not that I'm trading)
EDIT: My entire collection
Got a really nice Kings and Queens? We'll be talkin'!
Quoted from vaevictis:Surely there's a story behind this latest acquisition, more so than the Stagg was feeling lonely on the shelf.
No, pretty boring... both were for sale from a dealer in L.A. Got the Stagg and then had to have the Pappy.
Quoted from vaevictis:I was kinda hoping for stories about the Dali Lama, explosions on the back 9, or being struck by lightning.
LOL! "Be the ball..."
Quoted from ypurchn:Going rate for those?
I don't know. Stagg is pretty consistent. 23yr Pappy seems to be what is available for sale out there.
Quoted from vaevictis:Their annual lottery has it at +$1000.
I paid + $1000 more and am pleased to have found it.
Quoted from Chisox:My 50th is coming up and I’m thinking about buying myself a unicorn to celebrate. Lord knows nobody else will haha. Probably a 2018 Stagg.
https://www.aucwine.com/
Whisky... United States...
Never know what you might find.
I'm thinking Whistle Pig, The Boss Hog would kick ass.
That Pappy is going fast.
Quoted from Chisox:Not sure if you guys are into the Russell’s Single Barrell
Yes step-broth'a. I damn near picked up some today but the Booker's was callin' my name.
Quoted from cjmjmm2006:I think I need to start ........ scotch thread.
Please don't... 0_0
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well its a sad day, I drank my last glass out of this bottle.
[quoted image]
Sad indeed.. might be very hard to replace.
Quoted from Chisox:Cheers! Yeah I had a bit of a rollercoaster night. Good news is I can get any unicorn I want now for my 50th hmmmm..... I’ll be back tomorrow for my toast, I need a couple days to dry out.
You know...if I were turning 50 (again).... Never seen one, but I know where you can get one. (:
Quoted from Chisox:I’m thinking Stagg or maybe an old 1969 dusty like Wild Turkey or Old Fitz.
'69 Wild Turkey! I was dreaming of being at Woodstock... but working the local clothing store.
Quoted from Chisox:I didn’t win Powerball.
You won't be 50 again and probably won't get another chance at a 25 yr old Pappy... just sayin'... Had to clarify the "Pappy" part.
Quoted from djreddog:Parents got me a bottle of Bib & Tucker.
Oh man, that's what parents are for. I miss mine. Even though they wouldn't have gotten me a bottle of Bib & Tucker. (:
Quoted from Chisox:OK I’m back for that toast. Cheers to you guys and the University of Virginia basketball team. It was a great ride.
[quoted image]
Great Bourbon and a great game!
Quoted from djreddog:Birthday tonight. Parents got me a bottle of Bib & Tucker. First time having this and it’s smooth. [quoted image]
BTW, nice counter tops. (:
Quoted from boscokid:Jeffers Creek $16 - Was a trusted store's 'value buy' so I figured "how bad can a 6Y bourbon be" well, it drinks thin and shallow with no warmth and no aftertaste. It's just not good and will likely sit forever before I can pawn it off on somebody. Waste of money
That's the Sprite mixer. (:
Quoted from vaevictis:As I've said before, there are such similarities (and fun) between the bourbon and pinball hunt. Though generally, (but not always) the bourbon hunt is easier on the wallet.[quoted image]
Until I finally found my 23yr Pappy it was definitely easier. Since I'm now (sadly) out of the pinball collecting, (unless you have a nice King's and Queens) the bourbon hunt has become a new thrill!
Quoted from DBLM:I gotcha covered
[quoted image]
OH SHIT, you're going to make me buy that bottle aren't you!
Is it good? (:
Quoted from DBLM:I like the 3 better than the 2. The 5th is going for about 500 around here and I think is overpriced.
Has anybody tried Blood Oath? It is fantastic!
Well good. I grabbed a 3 well under $500.
Quoted from Chisox:Pretty stoked to try this guy, never had it. So I just noticed that I have 42 bottles of bourbon and rye open and this will be my 43rd. Anybody else have a shit ton open or do you guys just open one and drink until it’s gone? I think I may have BASS-bourbon acquisition syndrome sickness.
[quoted image]
The new "more politically correct" (ie. - DSM 5) listing should be: Bourbon Use Disorder, recurrent. ICD-10: F112.5
I'm planning to find my new "Bourbon Cabinet".
Quoted from Chisox:My apologies. I’m waiting for McIntosh to come out with a bourbon cabinet myself.
This is it.... find a big ass Altec Voice of the Theater speaker, gut it and use the bottom cab for storage, the woofer area for presentation and pouring shelf, and the horn on top to play some tunes. (:
Moving away from the total crap. (:
Dropped by the "beverage control center" today and picked up a little pot bellied Willett.
A nice buy for $41. I had to get 2.
I know it's not 5 o'clock yet but it's a quarter to.
I have this irresistible urge to rub the bottle and hope Barbara Eden comes out.....
Maybe if I have enough...
Quoted from kcZ:Ginning this one a try.
Gotta be good... It's from Wisconsin.
[quoted image]
Finished in Cheese Casks.
Just kidding! (: I couldn't resist. Go Packers!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Dropped in total wine yesterday and grabbed a bottle of this. Didn't get a chance to crack it open last night so will report back today with a review. If anyone has tried it please give your thoughts.
No but I'd love to share a little Falstaff with you if you have a few.
Care for a Shlitz?
Quoted from scottslash:Sure! And if you have a cold Blatz sitting around I'll take that too!
Sorry, not the beer thread I know. I'll stop.
Deviation is expected. We're talking alcohol here.
Quoted from Chisox:Happy thirsty Thursday all.
Good heavens Mrs Meade remember yourself. After all, I just bought some to share!!
Some Saturday night pinball playin' goodness.
Calumet 10 yr......
Details: 46% ABV. 10 year age stated. Rack C0505.10. 19 barrel batch.
Nose: Bubblegum, mixed berries, a hint of soap, cinnamon, and light oak.
Mouth: Nice spice, with cinnamon, ripe fruits, mint, and oak.
Finish: Warm and of decent length. Lingering baking spice, ripe fruits, mint, and oak.
There you go... like a fine wine.
Quoted from Chisox:Sad toast tonight as I lost one my best friends Friday night. Here’s to you Danny,
[quoted image]
Getting old sucks in many ways. Toast to Danny.
Quoted from Daditude:Anyone have any pappy on hand?
Yeah. It's in the safe. (:
Quoted from vaevictis:fulltilt Is that a Rockola on the right?
(: General Motors.
Quoted from Chisox:Ahhh so all those nice guns you own are to keep theives away from your Pappy and your McIntosh? It all makes sense now
No, this one is. (:
Quoted from vaevictis:Got to see a lot of old friends this past weekend. One of whom, now lives in Texas. When we were younger and more foolish (still fools today, just less so) we would often go plinking in the woods. More often than not, we'd take his grandfather's (who I never knew-in all reality, could have 100% been his grandmother's) old M1 carbine with us. It was old and beat up, but it was sure a type writer. Straight shooter and reliable. This past weekend, I learned it was a Rockola. He still has it, but let's just say it's getting better treatment. Long rant over. Watching hockey, thinking that as long as we remember those who have passed-they still live on with us. Must be the bourbon, time for some pinball.
One of the reasons I collect. The history is part of the weapon.
Their wear carries the history.

Oh yeah! Just like a pin!
Quoted from Grandnational007:But, but, but...the bag and tag are missing! It's worthless! ....
This post is mostly in jest. Mostly.
I do have the bag, it’s mint. No tag. (:
Quoted from Chisox:You may need to re-up on that GTS, it’s going quick! I almost want to turn 50 so I can crack a bottle of that 2018 open.
Shhhhiiiittt... the Pappy is next. Too much oak and all. LOL!
Stop, that’s the Stagg talkin. 
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Ok so been a good couple days in the world of bourbon at least for me. Never seen that one bottle of stagg you guys post and very rarely see the stagg jr. so gotta snag it when I see it but today the stars were in alignment i guess. Gonna be a damn good weekend i think.
[quoted image]
Great snag. No, not likely at all to run across any George T. on a shelf. I rarely, if ever, run across the Stagg Jr. anymore.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Just out of curiosity what does a bottle of the regular George Stagg go for if you can find one?
I’m sure the price police will get me, but I think you’d be lucky to find one under $600.
Quoted from jamieflowers:Retail is $99, Secondary is around $400 ish. Its good for $99, but I wouldnt spend 400.
It's kinda like that $5 shake. You can't believe you bought it but it's a pretty damn good bottle of bourbon.
5 dollar shake (resized).png
Quoted from OilGuy:My wife and I are going to be driving through southern Tennessee from Memphis to Chattanooga here in a few weeks and are interested in a few worthy distillery tours. Besides Jack Daniels in Lynchburg what would you guys recommend?
I'd try to make a run by the George Dickel distillery in Tullahoma if you could.. not too far from Nashville.
https://www.tnwhiskeytrail.com/map/
I'm a little biased and you may not be able to make it all the way over to NE Tenn, but you won't find nicer folks than at the Tennessee Hills distillery in Jonesborough. Small time operation and only 1 bourbon... but it's on the way to be heard about.
The Pecan Pie rum is something you'll want to buy a case of to take home. Your wife will thank you.
https://tnhillsdistillery.com/
Quoted from SirScott:Does anyone else filter this thread periodically on fulltilt to watch the changing status of his bottle of GTS? No? Just me?
Quoted from boscokid:Good price too - that's $80-85 around PA/DE
And TN.
Quoted from boscokid:Found OFC 1993 on the shelf at retail. Any of you Pinside Pimps want a 2.5k bottle of bourbon? Maryland tax will add about $150
If you left it sitting there, it's probably already gone.
Quoted from RA77:Oh man,
Porky's for a rad pinball !
I'd take one. The game would have the best call outs ever.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Sure would! When you light multiball "Hit that pig whistle" would be called out. Lol that shit would be awesome.
LOL!! Hit the "Pig Whistle" to start "Pussy Stampede Multiball" !
I love it! "Hit that Pig Whistle"!
https://memes.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/c76037df-e578-498f-a092-a6cb4d6965bc
Ok, I'm off topic and about to get called down... back to bourbon. (:
A little Belle Meade with some fresh strawberry nut bread. Oh yeah...
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:You must have the greatest liquor stores around you. I can't find much of anything around me it gets snapped up the 2nd it hits the shelves.
You can thank Tom Sawyer. He screwed it for all you in MO unless you want to finish whitewashing the fence.
Quoted from ypurchn:I’m convinced that fulltilt is a distro or has a picture of his local distro fucking a goat. Either way, he’s got a hookup or 3
I just waste a lot of fuck$&g money. Ask my wife.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I would buy that shit in a hurry. No way they would make it though i'm sure they are too busy making another rock band themed pin cause there arent enough of those out there
Drop Naked Pee Wee and light “Cherry Forever”! Hit “Meat” first and score double”.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I've never had this stuff and it's only an 80 proof but was on closeout at the store for $13 a bottle so I grabbed a couple. Figured if nothing else I could pawn it off on guests who ask for a jack and coke.
[quoted image]
Drank the hell out of that in high school. (:
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Lol! Man you must have went to a high-class High School at my high school we were scraping the bottom of the barrel drinking Mad Dog 20-20 and some shity ass Keystone or natural light beer whatever we could get somebody to buy us for the minimal amount of money that we had available.
Rebel Yell was the good stuff. Early Times was the go to.
Crazy enough it was Boone's Farm got me arrested.
Quoted from Reality_Studio:Hmm need to try that as I like regular Maker's Mark. Just curious, how many whiskey bottles in general do you have?
Enough that Chisox and I need a Mac cab.
I don’t have any regular MM so can’t compare.
Quoted from Chisox:This whiskey Wednesday came courtesy of @bowz. Still can’t believe you gave this to me.
What cards are you holding?
Quoted from boscokid:C'mon Chad. Rookie move not bringing your own bottle to NYC
LOL! All those are good but I betcha' the price would be shocking.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Ok F it i'm starting it now it's post some nasty ass crap bottle night. This crap I bought on a whim and wish I could have my money back! What you guys got to rag on?
I grew up with my dad drinking Kentucky Gentleman. There ya go.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:We have a bar I just always heard bad things about exposing bourbon to light for long periods. I keep bottles a long time by buying all kinds of it so I only take a drink or 2 out of any 1 bottle. My strategy seems to pay off as I have quite a few bottles that are 8 to 10 yrs old. Or that could just be the excuse I have told myself ti keep aquiring more bottles!
A great bottle storage are the old "pie safes" you can picku at your local antique mall. They are usually large enough to hold 50+ bottles and bring them up to within reach.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:This is my bar downstairs its not the most elaborate but serves us well. I could fit some on the shelf above my sink but would have to build some shelves or something to hold everything off to the side.
Nice. One of my big regrets when I did a remodel was not putting in an ice maker.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:That Stagg bottle must have a leak in it cause I keep noticing the level dropping in it!
Amen brotha'
Quoted from Chisox:How do you like that @fulltilt ? I think my Binny’s has it but I’ve never tried it.
A thumbs up. Very nice smooth drink that has an ending to remind you that you just had a 100 proof shot!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Havent seen this one anywhere yet how was it?
Very good but it is a bit pricey.
The release batches are pretty interesting. Don't see the big MO in there yet.
Quoted from bowz:About $50 by me. Used to be $30
Must be nice! I get my George T for about $125. (:
Quoted from hank35:Is it any good...said the IPA drinker.
Ok, kinda’ like getting you some Dale’s Pale Ale.
Quoted from hank35:Is it any good...said the IPA drinker.
I don’t know how to answer. I hate hoppy beers.
Quoted from Chisox:..it’s the bottle that gets poured most in my bar.
I want a bar...
Quoted from Chisox:$50-$60
I think I paid $63 today.
Quoted from Jaeg:That price is for Blantons.... To find it at retail in my area seems very unlikely.
Price I found today was $64.99.
First time I have found it out in the wild around here.
I ran around to several of the stores just to make sure there wasn’t a distributor dump locally. 
Quoted from hank35:That's my bad. I thought the sarcasm was big with that statement, but i guess it wasn't.
No, it was caught. I thought mine was too!
One of my mini-brew friends likes to make triple IPAs... I've tried to like them....
Quoted from djreddog:I got Blanton’s everywhere down here. Priced anywhere between $59-70. If you need some let me know.
Well "@$%"... that's all you had to say. Send one on down!
Quoted from Chisox:It’s illegal for individuals to ship alcohol period.
That’s the rulez. It’s prohibition lite.
https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/alcohol/shipping-requirements.html
"Consumers may not ship alcohol of any type via FedEx services."
Quoted from Pahuffman:Our selection of bourbon is quite limited in Alabama, so I picked up a bottle of WhistlePig 6-Year Rye while I was at the Flora-Bama on vacation. Anybody have any experience with this? I've heard good things about WhistlePig.
I like Whistle Pig. So much I put some up for safe keeping a while back... but keep sippin' on the Stagg.
pasted_image (resized).png
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:For only $24 a bottle around here it's one hell of a deal
It's a "steal" if it's good. I just had to say that....
Quoted from Chisox:Thank you St Louis Blues! Cheers! Now fuck off, I hate you again.[quoted image]
Shit... you gonna’ make me open the bottle
Quoted from Chisox:Thanks fulltilt . I’ll be over with the ribeyes at 5:00. That batch 11 Stagg Jr is great too, nice score.
You were late... We added baked beans and Deb’s biscuits. And not to mention the Cherry Garcia for the fix.... along with sone Tennessee Hills Pecan Pie rum. Mmmmhh
Quoted from ypurchn:Try again. That baby is hidden cause my neighbors mix it with Sprite.
Hayden's or Jim Beam
Quoted from ypurchn:Try again. That baby is hidden cause my neighbors mix it with Sprite.
Shit... Eagle rare with Sprite.... not a fair quiz.
Quoted from Chisox:Looks like you’re doing some damage on that 1920 @fulltilt. Good stuff yes?
Good stuff Yes It Is.
Quoted from Chisox:Laughable. Secondary pricing + 40-70%.
But they have a heck of a lot of good stuff. It might be like the Italian market. You gotta' get in there are make an offer they can't refuse. (:
Quoted from Yelobird:Really wanted a bottle of Pappy after my love of the show Justified Till I seen how dam much it cost!!! Is it Really that good, I mean Really??
Depending on which Pappy you're referring to.. Yes Really.. relatively speaking. (:
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Wouldn't hold all my bottles though so I had to prioritize what went inside.
I’ve got a nice big Hoosier cabinet you would love. You’re not too far away there in the big MO.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I've been eyeing that one for a while now but just haven't pulled the trigger. Real question is would you buy it again? Thats how I decide.
Yes. Going to get one tomorrow.
Quoted from Jgel:Is there an age statement on that one? I think its around $90 - $100 around here. Have not tried it yet.
I don't remember right off and can't find the receipt. I wouldn't have paid that much. I think it was around $60 tops.
Quoted from Jgel:Is there an age statement on that one? I think its around $90 - $100 around here. Have not tried it yet.
Minus my 2 fifths of Russian Standard, looks like it was around $65.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Goes for bout 75 to 80 bucks around here
I must be in the golden belt then... (:
Quoted from Chisox:I’ve been hunting for one of those as I’ve heard it’s really good
We miss you on the vinyl project club. (:
Quoted from Jgel:God I hate being in PA with our prices.
So it's priced like a Blantons. Hmmmm
Blanton's reported to be coming in tomorrow.... maybe I can report back if I get there in time.
Quoted from Chisox:... and we both know how whiskey and vinyl together are one of God’s gifts to man.
Amen and Amen... come back soon.
Quoted from Chisox:That being said I have a bottle of Knob Creek 14 yr that I’ve been eying all week....
Crack it baby!
Quoted from DBLM:Anybody else drinking watching the debate? 5 fingers of makers and a splash of Pepsi.
Need 6-7 fingers for that group. No Pepsi.
And I forgot all about it ...
Quoted from PrinzFred:I just had this one in Peru of all places. In the plastic bottle it smelled a bit like Playfield cleaner (and perhaps should be used that way sober). But the woman I was with made some mean mixed drinks with it.[quoted image]
My dad was a "Kentucky Gentleman" man... he also liked "Dewer's and Cutty Sark Scotch" so I'm no stranger to that stuff...
Quoted from Chisox:I’m starting to bunker these as I think they’re going to start disappearing.
I've been "bunkering" Booker's for a few years now. I'm betting it will get shorter and shorter..
NO, Wait.. you didn't hear me say that. Ignore those bottles on the shelf.
Quoted from Yelobird:Not a true whiskey glass but we have a sentimental attachment to these from my wife's grandmothers bar/hunting lodge from 60-70 years ago. Must have been interesting to see how many .10 cent beers made it through those glasses.[quoted image]
LOVE the Schlitz glasses! Like I'm attached to my frosted hula glasses. Certainly don't have to be whiskey glasses!
Quoted from swillie:+1 on those glasses...I have a matching vintage spinning globe light in my gameroom...[quoted image]
OOH..OOH!
Quoted from Yelobird:Not a true whiskey glass but we have a sentimental attachment to these from my wife's grandmothers bar/hunting lodge from 60-70 years ago.
You can certainly drink whiskey from them. (:
I can't believe there are no other favorite glasses in use.
I’ve looked for a set of these glasses for a LONG time. Now I come across a set NIB along with the shot glasses!! Holy Tiki!!
That’s a reason to celebrate!

Quoted from Chisox:That first glencairn was one and done. Need to sip the next one.
Or else...
Quoted from Chisox:Haha I wish.
Lol! We can wish can’t we?
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Yes sir I picked up the kentucky owl a month or 2 ago. It reminds me a lot of 18yr elijah craig.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Looks like you killed that bottle of saffell so it must have been good.
You can run but you can’t hide! Lol!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Personally i'm not a fan of any Makers products.
The cask strength Makers is some pretty good stuff. IMO (:
Quoted from zombywoof:Nice score! Around here you have to be at the ABC store before it opens on delivery day to even have a chance of scoring one, much less three.
I'm not sure when I first noticed the bourbon take off. I certainly have seen a change over the past year.
Oh wait, that's me... Scotch Whiskey giving way recently to Bourbon...
Still the bourbon normally on the shelf, ... zip ... gone.
Quoted from djreddog:Here is what I was presented with today when I stopped in one of the local liquor stores....where do you begin????
Carefully. Booker’s > $110 is a warning sign. But then overhead is high to carry that kind of selection.
Quoted from Jgel:That McKenna price is stupid.
It was here local for $39 a bottle. The guy was keeping it behind the counter though.
Quoted from Chisox:Got lucky and stumbled on these at a liquor store by the train station today. Donating the W12 and Elmer to a buddies charity auction and drinking the shit out of the Knob Creek Rye LE.[quoted image]
Sweet. Never tried one but I heard the Elmer's is only released once a year?
Quoted from Chisox:Man, every time I have this I’m more impressed than the last. Tastes like a bullseye, caramel and vanilla for days. So good.
[quoted image]
I can only find the 10yr around here but it’s good too.
Can't describe the perfection in the package received today. Pinsider's are one of a kind.
"Water samples for the lab.".. and actually St. Louis "hood whiskey". I LOVE IT!! (:
Can't decide to open it now or after the surgery next week. In the meantime, it included a copy of Porky's for the perfect touch!
Hit that Pig Whistle!

Quoted from Chisox:Semi-cold Modelo and bad baseball make me long for my basement and bourbon haha.
And probably $10 semi cold Modelo at that. (:
A couple Bud tall-boys, a chili dog and nachos makes them play better baseball.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Hey Don what day is the surgery this week?
Thursday. About to reach the Rally Point!
Quoted from Chisox:Good luck my friend! I have family coming to town tomorrow and am going on vacation next week so a preemptive wish for your speedy recovery. Cheers!
Hopefully by then I can stand on more than 1 foot at a time.
Although last night, I did manage to make some Bourbon BBQ MANwiches.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Best wishes tomorrow on your surgery Don. Post an update on how things went when you are feeling up to it!
Sorry for no bourbon in the pic. Home by 2:30 and so far, so good! Amazing for an outpatient total hip.
Love my new TED Hose.
Quoted from Chisox:Come on up. How you feeling man? Been out of the loop for a while.
We missed ya. I’m going much better than I had expected. Wish I’d had the surgery months ago.
Quoted from Chisox:I took my niece with us on our vacation and this is what my sister and bro in law gave me. I’m still stunned.
They must have had a good time in the interim. (:
Quoted from TKDalumni:What's the average street price for that Stagg?
It's an '18 (correct me if not), seems going for $425+
Quoted from Chisox:Where did you find the Makers 101? I thought that was an export only.
Got that here on the shelves along with the cask strength.
Quoted from Chisox:Really? Hmmm...never seen it here, I must be mistaken.
I could be wrong. I'll try to sneak a pic next time in the store. (:
Quoted from Chisox:Overpriced? You bet your ass. You only live once. And because I love Wild Turkey.[quoted image]
checking overpriced tomorrow 0_0
Quoted from Reality_Studio:Damn that one is $110 locally here! Is it worth it? The tasting notes on Total Wine are "Intense, Butterscotch, Caramel" which makes it tempting to try.
It's a pretty damn good kick butt Texas bourbon.... $110 good only you can say. (:
I'm not too good at tasting notes. I never could find the chocolate and tobacco in my Pinot Noir.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:What time should I swing by to help you out with that bottle? It' s just not fair to the group that your not good with the tasting notes. Do with that i'm gonna bite the bullet and help you drink it so you can post an accurate review..
Ok,..Andreus and Silverball City is hosting the next pinball mafia meet on 9.26, Pin and food. I'll throw in the bourbon!
oh baby,,,
Quoted from flashsmith:Was able to pick up a bottle of Booker's online yesterday for $88.00. Never had it because I have never seen it anywhere to buy it. Not sure if that was a good price. Also found some Eagle Rare another bottle that I have never seen that is common in other areas. I have to hustle to get a bottle of Regular Buffalo in my area.
Not a bad Booker's price. It's generally going for $80-$83 locally. It's so good I'd take it easily at the $88.
Quoted from Chisox:I like their stuff, even though it’s probably overpriced. I’ve ripped through 3 bottles of the rye over the past couple of years and really enjoyed them. Cheers.
I was so focused on picking up that bottle of Jim Beam that I overlooked how high the price was of that Kentucky Owl. When it was rung up, I felt that wallet sting... Oh well, it's only bourbon! (:
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Hey Don haven't heard any updates in a while how is the recovery from the surgery coming along?
It's going amazingly well I think... I never imagined I'd be pain free and walking without a cane 3 weeks out of surgery. The progress with hip replacements has come light years.
Quoted from Chisox:My poor wallet (and liver).
Yeah, I decided I needed the full onslaught as well! (:
Quoted from Chisox:Wow! This pick is unbelievable. I need to go back and grab a couple more.
I'm looking forward to my Dickel store pick too.. First time I'd seen these.
Vinyl recommendation to go along with drinking these fine bourbons... Waylon, Willie and the boys. Makes them so, so good.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Yes I am too but was too damn busy tonight to open it up.
I see that slit seal... maybe a little "nip" just to make sure it was bourbon? .. LOL!
Quoted from Chisox:If that’s not a good enough reason to open this bitch up for a toast then I don’t know what is.
Yessir it is. Cheers to your friend.
“May we all be alive at this same time next year.”
Quoted from Reality_Studio:Another day another wildcard, from NY this time and it's very good! Didn't even know they made bourbon up there.[quoted image]
Sweet! I've yet to find the 12 yr here local.
Quoted from ypurchn:What are the chances that I actually open a $100-300 bottle of bourbon? slim to none but, it's all about the hunt.
Quoted from ypurchn:when is Christmas dump of Pappy coming?!?!
If you can't find that snag of Pappy, maybe you can still get one of these sets in preparation for that bottle....
Quoted from Chisox:Actually after sipping on this, it’s kind of a boring whiskey. It’s too smooth for my tastes. I prefer something with some bite and funk to it. May be my preference for barrel strength/Wild Turkey.
Still wonderin' about that Masters Keep.... Good stuff?
You got that bottle of GT Stagg. Got's a lotta' funk! (:
Quoted from Chisox:2018 Stagg set the standard for me.
+10. I'm very seriously wanting another '18 before mine runs dry.
Quoted from Chisox:There’s a ton of good whiskey on the pallate but with great ones the real fun starts when it’s down the hatch..
Gotta' soon open that Boss Hog "The Independent". Rumor is there is a reason the hog has a cannon on the topper.
Quoted from Chisox:Very very good. I’ve learned what separates the really good stuff from the average/decent is a long complex finish. There’s a ton of good whiskey on the pallate but with great ones the real fun starts when it’s down the hatch. 2018 Stagg set the standard for me.
Pick up some Voyage 14 if you get a chance. It's got that great finish that makes for a 'real' bourbon experience.
No, it's not a GTS but it's nice, smooth and good.
Quoted from hank35:This guy, by far, plays the BEST drunk ever.
John Dunsworth... Rest your soul.. you brought us great joy! Here's to you Mr. Lahey!

Quoted from Chisox:That gin and vodka need to go. I thought you were going to build a sweet bar in your place? Preferably where your turntable is.
Yes, the whole point. It’s too full and I have to share with the “other” stuff.
Quoted from Jgel:what's that run near you if you don't mind me asking? I think I saw some at $150 if I remember correctly. For me to go in at that price it would have to be really special. But if you say it's great I might take a chance.
right @ $100 for the cask
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Hey Don i've been meaning to ask how was this Davidsons? I've had a couple stores I stop at check to see if they could get it and they have never heard of it.
My unsophisticated taste loved it! (:
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I've had a couple stores I stop at check to see if they could get it and they have never heard of it.
Maybe they’ll find it under Pennington’s.

Quoted from swillie:Have you smoked one of those cigars yet? If so how are they?
Not yet. Was going to try one this weekend.
Quoted from ypurchn:so what is the going street price? we know the MSRP of 300ish or whatever is out the window...
Stupid crazy.... BTW, I'll trade it for a nice Kings & Queens. (:
Quoted from swillie:Okay I'll play
I’d recommend you give one a try. I found it smooth with some woodsy tones. Like smokin’ some Pappy. (;
I’m not a regular cigar smoker so I’d be interested in what you think.
In fact, send me a PM and I’ll send ya one!
Quoted from ypurchn:swillie was actually channeling my inner energy. Please send cigars and pappy or Elmer or stagg or you’re sweat after drinking any of the after mentioned- beggars can’t be choosey
I’m wantin’ Me some Elmer’s. Trade ya. (:
Quoted from Green-Machine:Mini bourbon in Maui......[quoted image]
Beautiful... that mini is a start!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Damn Don you don't ever stop, hell I thought I was the only one up at this hour...
NEVER! When you’re my age .. how did Janis put it? “Get it while you can”
Quoted from DBLM:Count me in , fulltilt![quoted image]
You’re an Independent!
Quoted from DBLM:You are too! It is my favorite out of the 5, followed by 2. How about you?
I have no experience but the III and it's great.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well Don it may be Tennessee whiskey but apparently it's not sold in Memphis, Tennessee. My buddy went to Kirby's, Joes and Busters over the weekend and all said they do not carry Davidsons reserve. Looks like it's pretty damn tuff to find Tennessee whiskey not only outside of tennessee but also within it.
You must have failed to read the fine print... LOL!
If they still have a few, I'll pick you up one. (:
Hey, it's almost 5:00. Couldn't wait to try the Old Dominick's. I'd heard good things.
I really like it! (Love the bottle)
And the master distiller is a lady. Sweet!

Sorry @pindelapin, "very" small batch.
Quoted from Fremen:Nope.... rum is the pinball drink for me (sorry had to chime in on your bourbon parade)
- Kirk and Sweeney 23 year
- Don Pancho
- The Kraken (with some ginger beer)
Fairview, NC? Ok, so The Hot Dog King is definitely boss there.
Rums are a better drink with the footlong.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:I got you loud and clear. Catching on quickly
Although I did see that one at Buster's. (:
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Oh man oh man im back on the TN whiskey tonight.[quoted image]
LOL... that still there?
