Favorite Whiskey?

No way. It’s the same in the beer market with BA stouts.

I’ll just take a sip off someone else’s bottle at that point. I don’t have that kind of FOMO (or money).

 

It came out really damn cool, nice work! You've inspired me to make a whiskey shelf for my Texas whiskies, but I don't know dick about wood...

 

Wood is a lot more forgiving to me than metal.. obviously you're not likely to find a piece of mesquite to make a shelf.. but a nice piece of oak would be nice.

I honestly don't know much about wood either..I just make shit up as I go! Haha

 

You haven't seen @Bigdaddy4760 's tools for "convincing" metal to do stuff, apparently. I mean, if we can make something *I'm* helping build out of metal look good, then it must be fairly forgiving.

 

Oh I'm aware... Just referring to my recent metal fiasco and wooden solution!

 

Wish I could get ahold of them doors and redo them. I really liked them.

 

I really liked them too... But I have a plan for them

 

Some preliminary designs for a Texas whiskey shelf... looks like I'd have room for 12-18 bottles at this configuration. Not a lot of actual shelf space for such a large wall hanger at 4'x4' with a lot of negative space. The vertical bottle area dimensions account for a 1/2" thick shelf at the bottom of each box that would be mounted on a cutout in the shape of Texas of course.

I measured some of my bottles for rough estimates. The taller Whitmeyer bottles measure around 13" in height (like BTAC bottles), Ironroot around 12", and Balcones and short Whitmeyers come in under 9". I only have about 10 bottles of Texas booze right now, so extra space would be incentive to get more bottles

My Scotch cabinet and Bourbon shelf are packed pretty full. I need more bottle space in general, but a dedicated space for my "local" stuff would be awesome.

 

$299...wtf. It's hard to find it in my area but I saw one for $95 and passed. Last one i got afew months ago was 79.99

 

Any one tried bookers Kentucky chew batch? Local store has several with a good price tag.

 

It's pretty damn good. I'd buy another at a reasonable price.

 

^^this. It was my first Booker's too.

 

Same! I skipped past backyard BBQ and next time I went back to the shop it was gone that's the only 2019 I didn't get to try.

 

I've been dishing out samples lately like it's cool. Is Amazon still the best place to get Boston Rounds? I need more.

 

If you know you'll use them, PM me your address and I'll mail them to you. I just want to make sure they get used and don't end up round filed.

 

SoCal folks: Bevmo got Michter's 10 Bourbon today. $159. More than last year, but I heard MSRP went up this year. Bevmo doesn't tend to gouge, so this probably the going rate around here for 2020 version.
Look on their website to see which stores still have it, then call to hold. For some reason you can't buy it on their website.

 

No stores local to the Bay Area have any. Definitely going to keep an eye out for it though

 

I just ordered 80 from Amazon

Best I found with quick research anyway

 

Nice. Thanks for sharing!
