If your son is born on the 17th, his middle name needs to be Blanton.

Anybody converted a barrel to a bottle storage cabinet?

That is not an inexpensive bottle. Your buddy must hold you in reasonably high esteem. In any case, I'm looking forward to your tasting notes.
Haul from my recent trip to Kentucky. I think I did pretty well.
What'd that picture cost?
If my son is born on the 17th, my wife would be so happy.

BT White Dog - moonshine by some other name? Have you tried it yet? If so, tasting notes?
That's what bourbon looks like before it enters the barrel!
I've had "white dog mash" from a few distilleries and tend to get a popcorn butter note.

About $1000.
As therapist said, unfinished bourbon. Basically moonshine. Some folks buy it to finish it in little barrels at home.
I was born, grew up and went to school in Kentucky before leaving to go to college at TAMU. I have a house there and a number of my relatives still live in the state.Aggie Therapist said:

So, I have had some prior experience with moonshine - although when and where it was distilled, it was never intended to go into barrels for aging. It just went straight into a Mason jar and was consumed shortly thereafter.
Right on!
The fact that there is someone out there covering their shaft with this is wild.

Nice, snuck into the hospital!
Congratulations
Good morning! Anyone have leads on Dettling offerings around the Houston/College Station areas? I have been lightly looking for a little while now, just seeing if anyone has run across one!
3 BiB in stock for $80/ea before shipping

Trust the site?
So what's the deal with Redwood Empire?
Standard MGP stuff or better?
See a lot of RE posts on the bourbon subreddit.

Big fan of RE here. The 3 "white label," ones are MGP. The full color BiBs are their own distillate as are the small limited gray and black releases (devils tower, foggy burl, screaming titan). The cask strength black bottles are actually blends of the MGP and CA juice from my understanding.
Their own distillate has always been better to me. Screaming Titan (high wheat 4-grain, 1 release this year) and Grizzly Beast (BiB 4-grain semi-annual release) are on par with OWA to me.
Picked up a bottle of Rebecca Creek double barrel spanish oak. Hoping it's good! Didn't like giving money to Still Austin. LOL
I hear it's pretty good
Too bad I missed out on that! First time I've seen it on the shelf (Specs).Aggie Therapist said:

Just finished my first bottle of RE Pipe Dream Cask Strength. I enjoyed it. I believe that it is definitely worth a try.
I want that screaming titan.
I'm a big fan of the rocket top rye. Fruit bomb. The others are just okay to me, but I know many love them.
Heard about this thread on the watch thread - just bought my first "allocated" whiskeys (which I know nothing about) so I figured I'd venture over here to see what y'all's experiences with these are and then maybe to learn some stuff for the future.
Just got into Amarillo from College Station on a business trip - went to pick up some whiskey and after a bit of talk and his recommendation (the one on the left, off the shelf) I guess the guy took a liking to me (or more likely just pulled a great sales tactic) because he started showing me allocated whiskeys they had. Picked the Kentucky Owl because I liked what he said about it, picked the Bulleit because I like their Rye and Bourbon.
I'll probably start with the Kentucky Owl tonight in the Airbnb.
My whiskey profile:
Go-To: Wild Turkey 101
Favorite: Four Roses Single Barrel
Most Expensive Bottle: Johnnie Walker Texas Edition (from a friend - did not enjoy)
Always neat, other than the occasional whiskey sour.

Is that your guitar in the background, what is it if you don't mind me asking. As for the bourbon, I've only had the Whistle Pig 10 year and really enjoyed it. Was not a fan of the bulleit bourbons and ryes that I've tried and I've heard mixed reviews on the Kentucky Owl. Definitely let us know your thoughts once you've tried them.
Go to is WT101
And favorite FR single barrel?
We are two birds of a feather.

He pulled a fast one on you.
Welcome to the group. I see FTAC2011 has brought you over. Love that man!
Key thing is, just because it's in the glass case at Specs and really expensive, doesn't mean it's "allocated", which those bourbon bottles you have pictured are.
Classic allocated whiskey is:
Weller 12 $40
Stagg $56
Old Weller Antique $70
Eagle Rare $40
EHT Small Batch $50
Four Roses Barrel Proof $100
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof $70
I would start off with these offerings below that you can find on the shelf
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Old Forester 1920
Makers Mark Cask Strength
Benchmark Full Proof
Still Austin Cask Strength
Old Grand Dad 114
Redwood Empire
1792 Full Proof Store Pick
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered
And before you get the trading bug and start buying bottles off a secondary, don't hesitate to reach out to one of us in the PMs or ask for valuations here.
Cheers OC16!

Yeah, it's a Taylor 220ce in Koa. Replacement for the 210ce I had stolen back several years ago when I was still playing shows. That one was the only guitar I ever picked up in the shop that just "spoke" to me. Even though this one is supposedly a more premium wood, I don't like it nearly as much as I loved that other one.
