Favorite Whiskey?

Mission bottle kill is going successfully

 

It’s a little expensive for what it is but I really like it so whatever

Have you tried the single barrel?

 

Nope, haven’t come across it. I’d like to get my hands on one

 

I've been trying to procure a bottle for quite some time now. Went to my nearby ABC this morning. They open at 9am. I asked the lady if they had any allocations today since Friday is normally when they get their shipments on the counter. She said they got Blantons, BT, John J, and Sazerac (bleh). She said they had a line at the door when they opened. Sold all the allocations except the Sazerac within 8 minutes! Jeez!
I guess I'll never get that elusive bottle of Blantons. Oh well...

 

If your intent is to drink it, you're not missing anything special.

If you're collecting, well, a couple grand on secondary for a complete vertical and you're done.

 

No, just hoping to have one to drink on my own. Secondary prices are ridiculous!

 

I have now had both Blanton’s and Russell’s SB and if you told me I could never again have Blanton’s but I could have the Russell’s, that’d be just fine.

 

I have access to it if you ever really want it.

 

I looked for Russels while I perused the store earlier today. Didn't see any there. Good to know. There is another ABC near me that sometimes has stuff I don't find near my work. I managed to get a bottle of the Peerless there that I couldn't find elsewhere.

 

Decided to drink my beloved EW BiB right after it. EW is much more corn forward (not that it's a bad thing) and not as "sophisticated". After all, that's why I love Balcones. But this Penelope is really good!

 

Would anyone be interested in trading a John J Bowman Single Barrel for Blanton's?

 

What state are you in? It’s widely available in NC for whatever random reason.

 

Yes. PM me!

 

I'm also in NC, Winston side of Greensboro.

 

I like the lights under your cabinets its different and i made a mistake and showed my wife

 

I also have JJB SiB if the deal doesn't work out.

 

Thanks! Was actually the contractor's idea, but we really like it too

 

I guess it’s true that all the county ABC boards are different, but I’ve been to ABCs in 5 NC counties and never not seen Russell’s. The 10 year is always on the shelf, the SB is usually but not always, and in smaller quantities.

 

You are correct, ABCs vary between counties. Went to two different ABCs in Orange County today. One received several bottles of BT, Blantons, and JJB. The other didn't receive anything. They are within five miles of each other.
