Lol...well I am a drop in the bucket at Spec's compared to all the Houstonians on this list. I check NASA Liquor and some other local shops, never found any. I hate the NAS WSR and don't care for NAS OWA, so I guess I need to finally change my handle.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Spec's in Houston likely got some in based on comments here from posters in Dallas. I showed up downtown and saw them handing them out even though I didn't get a call. I was going to make a stink but before I could they gave me a bottle. It's all about timing.Agree WSR stinks but if I could only have W12 or OWA on the shelf I'd go with OWA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copes Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I picked up a bottle of HH6yr BIB for $10.99 in Belleview KY and put it in the refrigerator as soon as I got home. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing this fine product. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wonderful wife puts up with, and sometimes even helps with my bourbon "hobby". The given space allotted for my bourbon is in "my" room. I'm not quite sure what would happen if I started putting bourbon in our fridge. Since y'all mentioned this, I have something to relate, and a question to ask. A good friend of ours likes vodka martinis. He keeps his vodka in the freezer. Has anyone tried this with bourbon? Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Dick Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 All the HH bonds are good, but this is the best, oldest (except McKenna), and ironically, the cheapest. Just enough sweetness and oak added to the normal HH BIB profile to make it special, and the measuring stick of bourbon, to me. Hadn't bought any bourbon of any kind in months, but went to pick up some to take to the 'rental-in-laws the other day, and grabbed two of these. Didn't even take any time to look what else was on the shelf....didn't care. You can't beat the value of this one. I know one place I can get it for under $10. May grab a case soon, just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hell, the way you guys talk about this stuff, you are going to compel me to buy a case of this stuff the next time I'm in KY, and I can't even remember if I even tasted it during the April Sampler weekend. I know Fishnbowljoe loves the stuff because he had a case of it in our room, but I don't remember if I tried it or not...not like there was much else to drink in the gazebo!

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My recent trip to KY I stopped in close to a dozen Liquor Stores and was very surprised only one store had the HH6BIB. Granted none of the stores were big enough to have any store picks either but surprised none the less. I thought everyone in KY carried this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It seems to me that finding any bonded whiskey can be hit or miss in new places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the big stores all have it (a few didnt until recently), and some of the smaller chains have it. most of the smaller independent stores do not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstevens Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Did the bourbon trail last week for the first time. One of my goals in visiting KY was to secure a few bottles of HHBIB6. It's great, especially for the price. I tried the fridge thing too and that's fantastic on a hot night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
