Happy Friday, folks. Checking out this new pick up from Everest Liquor in Austin this week. Found for $69.99.

Early impressions:

Big oak up front, lighter vanilla/cherry coke mid palate. Long simmering finish, much like C923 but not quite as complex. Drinks below 130 proof.

Can't wait to see how this opens up. Feels like a winner.

Their oceans offerings are my favorite bourbon on the market. Curious to see if there higher proof offerings are any good.

This inspired me to go to 3 places today…Costco liquor for the win! My wife and I each got one! Pumped!

A coworker sent me this picture of his purchase today at a Spec's in Houston. He said they offered him additional cases.

EHT is going to be everywhere soon, especially with the higher pricing.

Tejas Liquor #11 on 1464 advertised ER 10 for $49.99. But when you try and buy a bottle, they tell you that price is good only if you buy three other bottles of expensive "stuff". If you don't buy the three other bottles, the price is $149.

Caveat emptor.

Edit: What a completely wasted trip.

That's a good price. It was $99 at specs.

No ATM baseball tonight. Drowning my sorrow - nice thick ribeye, a pour of EHT SmB and a film streaming on Amazon - The Sandlot.

Specs in Brenham still had most these at 11 am this morning. We got 2, my wife was with me. Thanks for the heads up.

Aside from no Aggie baseball, that sounds like a pretty sweet night.

I'm going Monday - do you have details on the rotation of the allocated stuff they put out for sale?

they also had this


I picked up a Penelope Creme Brulee and a Copper and Cask Cigar Blend. Looking forward to cracking those 2.


One of my favorites. I love seeing more of that in the wild.


Copper and Cask Cigar Bourbon (Specs Pick) is awesome. Great flavor. Very rich.

Random as far as I know. We went there a couple different days and they were still bringing stuff out during the day. Didn't seem necessary to be there in line when they open, but I expect earlier is typically better.

Turns out earlier IS better. They had about 100 of these bad boys sitting out for $150.

Wow, awesome snag.

Every time I've gone (3x) it's been a rotation between Eagle Rare 10yr, Blanton's, EHT SmB, or Weller SR.

Never seen any BTAC hanging around. Gives me hope when I'm there in September.

They've been doing some insane/random drops in addition to those recently.

Appreciate it! The owner of a local liquor store told me that he does not know of a single time they have ever dropped an ER17 since he's been in the business (2009). My dad, grandpa, fianc, and brother-in-law all bought one today. Might wait to open mine the night before my wedding, but for sure won't sell it. That Buffalo Trace distillery and tour is fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in bourbon and history.

wasn't planning on adding anything new to the collection but didn't want to pass these two up.

At a Dallas Spec's and just came across what everyone else on this thread is seeing. EHT SmB at retail prices is a lot easier to find which is great. It is one of my absolute favorites, and tough to beat at $53.
