When will sign up emails go out for the next offering?

I made GR 1Q this year and haven't seen any sign ups yet

I'm GR and have never seen anything anywhere about how to even be considered. And I've asked here multiple times with no answers about how it works lol. So I'll echo you.

I don't think any of us know how it works. GR members seem to get randomly selected when extra bottles are available. Maybe it is linked to spending, maybe not. I spent just enough on 10x points wine in December to make GR and have maybe spent $100 at TW since then.

If anybody wants to buy a Blanton's for $80+ tax I'm happy to meet you at TW Heights (Houston) and hand it to you.

It's wild that the price has gone up, nobody seems to like it, yet you can't find it in the shelf.

Lots and lots of people like it. Go to any high ish end bar and their bottle on the shelf will never be full. It's a cool looking bottle and a very recognizable name brand/flex. It's also not a bad bourbon, just often overpriced.

First year I feel like a got something every quarter. Now I'll get maybe one bottle a year. Got a W12 in April and that's it.

What city do you live in?

Needville - closest store is sugar land. That's where I make my purchases.

Well that should be a big enough store that you should potentially get something. I've seen folks say that having certain stores picked as your home stores over others is helpful but i don't know if that is true.

Not living in a major city, i dont anticipate ever getting anything.

I hope you're hitting up Ms Vickie's in Needville. They always have something good. I got a BTAC Thomas H. Handy, Rock Hill Farms, Blanton's Gold and SFTB last year.

On the TW app, go to account, preferences and make sure all the promotional messages are checked so that you receive the emails for the priority access sign up. Hope that helps.

I'm just a couple minutes from there and it's my go-to store. I don't buy as much as I used to, so they don't know me super well yet, but it really is a great shape that takes care of regular customers!

Just a burbon noob, and it's (mostly) all good. Opened a FR #12 because it's Friday. What I've learned is, I like cask strength, farm strength in this case. I was a bit apprehensive opening the FR, the packaging seems a bit expensive and I'm not excited about paying for that. But, damn this **** is good. Good thing about being a noob, so much to sample.

Happy Friday!

It's some good stuff. Keep an eye out for the TexAgs FR pick, it's really dang good

Oh I like it. It just gets trashed talk so much I figured most people don't

Seems #12 would be a must try here.

There's so many good shelf turds there's no reason to hunt .rar at that point. Stick to the major labels, all the small sourced stuff will make your head spin to find the diamonds in the rough.

Just figure out the flavor profiles you enjoy and dig deeper into those.

Indeed. The amount of varieties is overwhelming. The craft brands are so far the most interesting. If it was beer, I like Toppling Goliath King Sue, or Maui Brewing OMG. Life is too short for bland crap.

Everyone's thoughts on 1792 BiB?

Swill.

Get the kirkland's BiB if you want Barton's best.

Going to be buying all the Wellerz and Pappies!!

It's nice being in a rapidly expanding industry isn't it?

And if that industry tanks then I will just pray for another war, and if that doesn't happen then I guess I will finally use my Supply Chain Management degrees and work for a distillery

Some enterprising doctor needs to start advertising on premium and the zoo during games for low testosterone treatments. That market seems pretty unlimited at this point.

49.5 - right.

Drinking RR10 watching Colorado get blown out.

The meltdown is a little bizarre today isn't it?

Premium has some how gotten worse since Elko taking over.

Bought premium for a month and will not be renewing it.

I think I may be out after this season.

Premium is a cesspool

Why do you drink so much ****ty stuff?

Willet Pot Still, Balcones and now this?

Do you like the bomb or balance?

this is an interesting bottle but the more balanced is better, it is also about 3 years older. The batch 4 is all oloroso sherry. the batch 12 is a mix of oloroso and PX barrels and the latest batches (which i haven't tried) are all PX barrels.

I drink what i like or what i find interesting, what other folks think of it doesn't impact that at all.

I haven't bought more than a 50ml bottle of Willet in over a decade, but i will stand by the fact it is a perfectly drinkable bourbon and better than something like HH BiB.

Balcones has some **** products, but the Lineage and 1, the ones i drink, are both good single malts.

As far as Stranahan's goes, whatever the Colorado climate does to aging just suits my palette well.

He's really bad. Sounds like a sad robot.
