Last night I was google searching Weller 107 to find out information, and it popped up on DoorDash in stock at Liquor Depot in Arlington at MSRP. Weller 12 and Stagg Jr also popped up at MSRP. I decided to place a door dash order for 10am the next morning, just in case it somehow worked.

Next morning the order went through, and I got delivered a Stagg Jr and Weller 12. Both at MSRP. The 107 was out of stock. I quickly tried to place another order and the store denied it and wouldn't fulfill it. Somebody there definitely made a mistake inputting their inventory. I must have just timed it right.

Great find! Stagg is my favorite among those you mentioned.

BVBS Elijah Craig barrel pick will be at Libations in Bryan next Friday, Oct 10th. It will retail for $90/bottle. There will be 60 bottles available in store. This quite literally fell in our laps so we had a little fun with the tater sticker.

The pick is a 9 year old barrel that bottled at 128.4 proof. For the extra nerds, it was in rickhouse 1E on floor 4.

I have 9 bottles still available through our presale if you'd like to guarantee that you get one. Also $90/bottle and will be available for pick up at Libations during their regular business hours. https://bvbs.wildapricot.org/Sys/Store/Products/400559

September Scores!
  • Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof - If you like blue corn options this is a must try! Drinks a bit lower than it's proof, more of a 120ish versus the 134.2 on the label. Opened it during Notre Dame game and non-bourbon drinkers even enjoyed it. (Don't worry, I had some during Auburn game and will continue on gamedays as long as needed)
  • Old Fitz 7 - Good, not great. For the price there are other wheateds I will grab. Looking forward to using the bottle for an Infinity Blend though!
  • Russell's 13 - You already know if you are going to grab one of these if you see it, lol. Looking forward to doing a blind between it and the 15 year.
Cheers everyone!

Nice snag! Where'd you find the RR13?

Highway Liquor and Smoke off 45 here in Houston. A little over MSRP but not near the secondary prices I've seen other places. I got the Old Fitz there as well for MSRP.

If you are new to the TexAgs bourbon scene or missed seeing the Still Austin Barrel Proof Rye pick, there is still time........ Check out the post: https://texags.com/forums/67/topics/3564178

******************************
Alrighty folks, we had an *AMAZING* time picking y'all some Rye whiskey at Still Austin. (don't start, we know who they support, but they loved on our group and we wore all Aggie gear) SA told us we were one of their favorite pick groups ever and we are always welcome back to pick and hang out.

We *will* have a tater sticker for this that makes some fun of the sips in some way... so be excited there too. SA was just fine with us doing pretty much whatever we want.

You can see the pictures from it on the main bourbon thread... super fun. And the whiskey they had is really top notch as was the picking and touring experience. So good in fact, that we picked *2 barrels* for y'all to enjoy... having said that, let's get these things sold and allocated!

Cost: $85 per bottle

This pick was done out of Oak Liquor Cabinet (OLC) in Austin. We have mules for Houston, DFW, SA/Corpus, and BCS.

Friday find:
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass
EC BP A125

I haven't tried either one and I figured I would open one during Operation Blackout tomorrow night.

EC BP A125 and EC BP B525: I preferred the B525 but they were both great.

Looking for the C925 now.

FYI: anyone in DFW area looking for it, the Garrett / Ennis Spec's (Exit 255 on I-45) has a few bottles of the A125 in their locked case.

These were at Spec's - Southpark at Cinco Ranch.
There were several bottles of the HH on the shelf but I believe I got the last ECBP A125 ( unless there were more hidden away).

I didn't enjoy the A125. I love ECBP but this one ranked at the bottom for me. It did make a mean Old Fashioned though. Which HHG2G did you get? The rye is my favorite of the 3.

The bourbon is ok. The rye is mind blowing. Trust me.

I got to try both at the distillery back in March. All 8 of us loved the rye and purchased it.

Saw this for the first time today. Hadn't seen anyone mention it before. Had a sample pour at the store and while i don't think it was $100 good, it certainly wasn't bad. Would definitely buy a pour at a bar.

Before the game I picked up a bottle of Blade and Bow. First time trying it, but I've seen it a lot.


I do not like this. Does anyone else? Is this just the neck pour?

Tried the ECBP A125 last night. Not bad, but I have had better EC. Have others tried it - your thoughts?

I have a Bourbon collection (130 bottles or so) that I wish to sell. I do not want try and sell it piecemeal meal and I would prefer to sell the whole lot.

Do any of you have any recommendations about how I can go about doing this.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Note: There are no "premium" bottles (i.e. PVW level). Just reasonably good stuff - Wellers, Blantons, Bookers, ECBP type stuff.

I've actually thought about getting rid of my 800 - 900 bottle collection.
