Anyone grab and try the new Jack Daniel's 10 year? I've seen some reviews that say it's the best of the 3 this year.

I haven't but I did get one allocated from Specs this year and will pick it up when they give me the alert. Very excited. Have heard good things

From the sounds of it that's because the others are no good.

I just want to say Thanks to BetaDawg1 for muling for us BCS folks. But a special thanks for allowing me to try some samples in his bunker was the special kicker. Good afternoon yesterday.

It's interesting seeing the reviews. I've seen the 14 year in last place and just watched one that said the 14 might be better than last year. My palate loves JD so I'm your I'd like all three. All three have dropped in my area. Zipps has the 14 for $699…………….

That bunker is one of my favorite places in town

Added it to my list yesterday.

Sazerac Barrel Select Loser reporting in!

I think my browser is broken. I pasted my member number in the find search box on the winners page but it keeps saying 0 results found.

Im a loser baby!

They found another use for Bourbon and made Bacon even better. And it's pretty hard to improve Bacon.

Introducing Oscar Mayer Maple Bourbon Bacon—cured with Evan Williams Bourbon, the new offering features thick-cut bacon, finished with Oscar Mayer’s signature 12-hour slow smoke.

My number was only 50 away from a winner. I'm getting closer!!!

Saz emails for me every time just delivering the same message...

Soooo... I've been very fortunate and got both the JD 12 and 14, but not the 10 this year. Cracked the 12 last night and can say it's really solid. It blows what I consider my favorite 101 Proof and under bottles out the water. That of which I feel is a few ER Store Picks and OF 1924. Can't throw in a M10B/R since it's been so long before I started tracking my favs.

Saw that too from the WhiskeyTube saying 10 is the best, but also know a couple other who have the 14 this year personally and think it's better than last year.

If anyone finds at MSRP or reasonable secondary... Just buy it.

Here

Spec's at Stonebriar in Frisco has multiple cases of EHT small batch in stock/on the floor.

Total Wine across the street has about 6 Old Fitz 7 year bottles on the shelf as well.

Had some last week. RR13 is probably my favorite bottle I have ever owned. RR15 is even a step above that!

It's pretty amazing

Same with Spec's at 635 and Olympus in Dallas. Small batch, BIB for around $55. As of Wednesday afternoon.

I remember someone in this group lives in Virginia? Maybe more than one person?

How is the bourbon market there? I know they sell hard liquor in the state run stores, but can you find good ones?

I'm moving there probably within the next 6 months or so

I spent a week there & they would update the website daily around 5 minutes before stores opened about what allocations would be where. There was a ring that would internally leak the list & nearly every bottle was snatched by "friends" waiting at the right spot each day. At least some of those were found and were being prosecuted, so hopefully it gets a lot better.

They also had a 13 and rickhouse. Would love to go back and try them side by side.

I left to get back to Texas last summer after spending 6+ years up there (I need to change my username on TexAgs).

IIRC, in 2019 the ABC stores had a regular drop schedule and you could get in line early to pick through the drop.

They then moved to publish drop information on very short notice. It was about this time that some people broke the code and began to scam the system - after an investigation and program changes, they've gone to no-notifications. So I'd often go to MD if I was looking for something special and pay the markup.

Regarding Va bourbons, there are some good bourbons, but IMO nothing like you'll find from the Kentucky bourbons. Bowman's, Reservoir, Catoctin Creek, Flying Ace are a few that were good for a drive and a sampling.

I'll be moving to the peninsula, Newport News area

That was me, and yes selection is pretty good, though all of the really good stuff is by lottery. Think they went back to random drops for the rest of things.

https://www.abc.virginia.gov/ - to sign up and search invertory. Store 272 was the best for bourbon 2 years ago but all of the stores in the oyster point, j clyde, warrick area in Newport News are good.

Happy to answer questions on the town. I haven't been there for 2 years but i doubt much has changed.

OGD 114 dropped a single barrel I saw today. Anyone got opinions on it?

Agree, it's a fantastic wheater and has crushed several Weller expressions in blinds that I've done with buddies. Great price and always available.

Not super rare, but a good pickup.... Knob Creek 12 showing available at CS Specs and Total Wine

doing a raffle at an event next week...looking for something in the $70-$90 range. We've done Angels Envy a few times recently...anything new-ish worth looking at?

Anyone try the new KOK small batch? Hear it's not that great
