- Thread starter baddeerhunter
- Start date
Was at Total Wine and asked for it since it was kinda announced it was in town. They found it in the back.
Tullamordew tonight at the American Legion Hall. Tonight was the Muzzle Loader Club’s Christmas Party. (No pictures)
I did win a box of Black Powder shot shells in the gift exchange.

As I said, I’m very new to this. I’ve heard about all the different flavors, notes, finish etc. Don’t know nothing about all that. I got an education about finish this weekend. A friend of mine has been giving me samples. One was Jack Daniel’s 12 year. I took a sip, swirled it around and thought hey that’s pretty good. I swallowed it and wham this other flavor hit and I gotta say I didn’t like it 
I told my friend about it and he laughed and said it was the same for him.
I’m learning I guess

White lightning! Careful, might taste like the rubber ring on the mason jar lid. Ole guy I know puts Saran Wrap between the jar and the lid to prevent this lol
Boss gifted me a bottle this morning…
Killed off the last of the Takumi Kentucky Owl. About as close to a very high end scotch as a bourbon can get, and still be a bourbon.
Damn fine drink…almost hate to see the bottom of this bottle, but it was great while it lasted!
Free rum punch on arrival day….
Nice!
I love hunting rum n such in the islands. No telling what you find. I found two 2012 Blanton SFTB after Irma in St. Maarten.
Where ya at?
It’s another TnT kinda night… my back’s wrecked. Productive day though.
Nice garage!!!

My brother and his family are in town for Christmas. We had a tasting of some of Buffalo Trace’s better stuff tonight. I supplied the Blantons and Taylor. He supplied the Weller 12 (my Christmas gift from him) and the Stagg. The latter two are unobtanium here, and very difficult to come by even where he is in the Nashville area. All of them are great.
Been working on a bottle of Whistle Pig 6 year old.
Only 94 proof, but smooth.
My friends liquor store was well stocked but nothing new for barrel proof.
Passed on Garrett and 10 year old Mc Kenna, they had TX barrel proof but bored with it.

Went looking through my stuff for a DSP-1 Rittenhouse but kept finding post-fire DSP-354's which I didn't want to open. Decided on a plastic screw-top Old Grand-Dad BIB for the heck of it. Normally that is mixer class and prefer the 114 for sipping but this was surprisingly good. On my 4th pour. No idea if was just my taste buds or old bottle effect, but I'll enjoy it regardless.
Shout out to Marty! Mid pallet bump of rye spice. It’s a nice pick. Drinks easy and that spice sticks around decent. I also get a little leather. Not much vanilla or caramel. This one sits on the darker side of the spectrum. Maybe a little older???
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.
Some can be very different, I like the picks. Really like the Weller 107 picks and of coarse the Full Proof pics! Buy a pick for $10 more everytime
I have a Specs BT pick that I haven't opened up yet. Also, Specs is also having their end of year blowout of all their store picks and should have a 107 and Full Proof pick in there too. Should be a insane haul. They get pallets of these at the main stores.
Looks like there are going to be pallets of Mitchers Toasted and Four Roses. Along with the normal BT stuff, Weller, Stagg, EH Taylor, Blantons ect.
Houston and Dallas Specs at their main locations. I know by opening, they will have 500-600 people in line. There are people in line as of this morning at the Houston location. We still don't know what the official date is and the official list of bottles. This is some degenerate level of bourbon hunting.

Picked this up at Spec’s today, along with a Booker’s 2024-3 that’s going to a friend.
Just got an Old Grand-Dad 16 yr. Wish they left it barrel proof or 114 at least but it’s pretty tasty.
While it's tasty I don't think it's worth what they go for. They go for crazy money.
Went back and looked. Fill date was 1/8/16. So around 8.5 years
I've got the crud, so hot chocolate with some peppermint schnapps mixed in.
My step-dad said his grandfather kept a bottle of peppermint schnapps handy for medicinal purposes, and he always had a cold
