Favorite Whiskey?

OBX = Elvis banana, peanut butter, bacon whiskey. Your right....Lord Calvert, and high end is "rolling dice". Did a couple of OBX trips a couple of years back when we lived in NC. But you can pay $100 for a $25 bottle of wine at a store run by Russians.

 

Never tried it. I should be more loyal to CO distillers....but ya know...young, hot, kinda like my 1st wife...and then burns.

 

Never disappoints!

 

Cheers.

 

Wrong! I'm disappointed i cant get any around these parts...

 

The best bottles I remember seeing was Bakers 7 and I think there was some Sazerac Rye. I’d imagine most of their demand is for mixer type stuff. I wasn’t too surprised by their (non) selection.

 

ah damn, that’s our last day, we roll Sunday AM

me and my BIL love to fish but it’s hard with 7 kids running around, we managed to mess around and pull in some small kings and spot, threw them out on some circles but nothing bit

 

Is this normal pricing for the double eagle? I thought it was substantially lower.

 

$1000 high, can’t blame them for making a buck. If you have $2k to spend on a bottle you probably have $3k lol

 

I had to DuckDuckGo that Weller. Never heard of it, WTF, $7500 bottle of Whisky? This is getting ridiculous. Companies are getting out of control I don’t see this bourbon boom lasting forever. But I’ve been wrong before.

I think I should cash out and sell all my bottles and drink WT101 and be happy…. They’re kinda taking the fun out of it.

 

they are definitely coming up with boutique/collector bottles just to make a buck

 

Same man. The spots and kings/whiting were automatic, soon as it hit the water. Tossed out a few out live and at least 2 got hit but didn’t stick anything. That’s how it goes tho.

 

Well that raffle was a zoo. First number called was one above me. Last number was one below me. Maybe next time.

Oh I forgot, one guy opened the giant Weller Millennium box only to find no bottle present. Good thing he did it in front of raffle.

 

Not sure if it ever makes it better or worse when you are 1 off.

 

$3K is 2024 retail. $2K retail is old news.

 

Good haul today! Pays to establish good comms with the store manager. He gives me a call when they come in, and passes on some discounts. We also head out to the shooting range every now and again.

 

I have one of those Thirteenth Colony CS coming, looking forward to it.

 

I was torn on buying it. Some reviews say for about double MSRP of their regular bourbon, it didn't stand out enough to warrant the extra cost. Since I'm a HUGE 13th colony fan, I splurged a bit. Let's see how it goes...tonight. I mean...Tuesday is kinda Friday isn't it???

 

It’s what ever day of the week you want it to be

 

Jeeeeeeezzzzzz…..
