OT.. Whiskey options

[Jeffreauxdawg]

This is from July 2018 just outside of Dallas. You could buy a case (12 bottles) of Weller SR 1 liters for $257.45. ($21.45 a piece) I should have bought a truckload.

Agreed, the price is part of what made it a great bourbon

 

[blacklistedbully]

I'm sure they are all excellent, but I can, based on experience, highly recommend:

George T Stagg Bourbon (assuming barrel proof, uncut/unfiltered, 130.4 proof)
Stagg Jr. Bourbon (assuming barrel proof, unfiltered, 132.3 proof)
Blanton's Single Barrel

Not exactly on your list, but close:
Old Fitzgerald 13 year (Spring 2019) bourbon
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 years old Lot "B" bourbon

IMO, all of the above are "can't miss".

Well my options ran out when they called 5 minutes ago.

I went with the Blantons, which I already have a bottle, but 2 is even better. Time to drink one.


[FONT=&quot]Here is the list of remaining items in my batch and again I will begin calling again on Monday next week. Thank you for your patience![/FONT]

Damn that's disappointing.

If you like Blanton's, get the Weller Full Proof next time and I will swap a Blanton's with you. In fact I will send you 2 Blanton's for a Weller FP and 750 ML Weller SR or Weller 12 year if you can get them. I have Blanton's coming out of my ******* and can hardly drink it, my current bottle tastes like someone dumped Cheerios in the barrel.

I have a couple of bottles of Weller SR also. If I find some more I'll let you know.

That’s a fair trade.

I know a lot of people love it, but in my opinion Blanton’s is one of the most overhyped, overpriced bourbons out there. And it’s on purpose.
Someone at Buffalo Trace told me they were going to start reducing production on purpose and raise the price. They knew people liked it and loved the bottle, so they knew they could do it. That’s back a few years ago when it was on the shelf at $50.

I would personally take a Weller FP, Weller 12, Eagle Rare or the Colonel Taylor before Blanton’s. But each to their own.

I’m in another lottery myself for New Years. No Pappy as it apparently was not distributed in this area of Georgia like before.
