Saw a video on YouTube from someone who showcased a Texas Bourbon Distillery tour. It would be easy for me to do this. Anyone have any experience with this?

I love seeing the Cubs logo on that bottle of Maker's. I see the Astros ones down in South Texas

I picked up a Blue Note Juke Joint Uncut, Unfiltered at my local Spec's yesterday. 118.1 proof. Anyone tried this one?

Secondary market that I've seen was between $200-$250.

Monaco has 9 right turns out of 19, and speeds as low as 30 mph.

Those both look excellent. I love a PX cask single malt and Balvenie and Glenmorangie both make great Scotch. I have a Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (original release) that I am still sipping now and again. Great bottle. That is the bottle that got me interested in PX finished and matured Single Malts. Enjoy in good health and let us know what you think.

Virginia ABC still has tons of it. Also, the 108 proof version replaced the 95 proof version, so the lower proof one would definitely be old stock. I haven't had it since the proof increase, but would be interested if I ever see it at a bar. There were also picks of the 108 proof version, but I was told at Beam that, at least currently, those would only be special requests by important accounts, as opposed to a broadly available option in the pick program.

VROOOOM! Go Fast. Turn Left. Rinse, Repeat.

HA! I see what ya' did there, Joe. BT: Never a bad idea.

I have no idea, but $80 feels like secondary pricing for that product. I'm probably wrong, but that's my gut feeling...

True. I can get Stellum "Black" rye and bourbon for $39.99 now locally. For those of us that experienced American whiskey *before* the bubble, these new prices seem about right for what we are getting. People: Do NOT overpay for bourbon and rye! Prices will return back to sane levels very soon. Just be patient.

So how many of those events are you attending? Lol Indy 500 is easily my pick of those two. I'll definitely be watching. But only after the Monaco Grand Prix in the morning. Memorial Day is hands down the "Holy Grail" DAY for auto racing fans...

How many different stores did you actually try? Did you try any small local "Mom & pop" stores? Your experience seems like common experiences when folks only shop at the "big box" retailers ...

Started the evening with Maker's Mark PS. Then went to EW12, taking inspiration from @NDN98 's post. Good idea, as that was fantastic. Now unwinding with good old simple HH6BiB. Happy Memorial Day weekend to all you SB'ers.

From yesterday. I plead the 5th. Uh….750.

We took a 45 minute drive today to see the buffalo at Nachusa Grasslands. We were in luck. The buffalo were out in the open for a change! So, guess what I'm drinking tonight ?

You inspired me, following your lead... EW12 in my glass now. Don't you just love that this ole' bad boy has a screw cap? I know I do.

Bought 3, they arrived today, and cracked 1 tonight!

Doing a Sbs of a couple of different Maker's Mark Private Select picks. Sometimes MM just hits the spot perfectly.

Thanks for this excellent and thorough rundown; I shall save this for future reference for shopping sometime down the line!

Same.

As far as the barrells go. If you ever come across one of their 13 year Canadian rye single barrels, they are worth a purchase. But it has been a few years since they were released. There was a 14 year since then that was pretty good, but tastes like a different distillate to me.

I haven’t seen it here in Georgia, but I have purchased 2 bottles in the last couple months in South Carolina. Not sure if that indicates irregular distribution, or if my success in SC is due to old inventory. Regardless, I really like this one.

Heck if I know. I'm pretty sure that I bought the bottle that I just killed less than a year ago. I hope so...it's a good one... Edit: it shows in stock at a couple of local LS, (Baltimore metro area)

I had the Barrell Seagrass last night. Not your typical Rye, but it is a Rye nonetheless
