HoustonNit Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I was talking to the lady there, who was very nice, but I don't recall her name. She actually called her son and he brought some of them over from their house. I got an OBSV and OESV. Didn't expect that, but it was a very nice gesture. I wish I lived closer, as the store had a lot of nice stuff.She’s great and that’s some customer service. Not sure if they still had it but they got in L’Encantada Armagnac bottle that looked really nice and up your alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little leery of an older bottle still available at retail. But, I like my 4R with some age so took a chance. Need the gods of the cult to smile on this... I have that JR Buy Rite pick, it is quite nice, wish I had more in the bunker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Friday, I thought I'd give Woodford another shot. See if a little more bourbon experience would change my opinion of it. Nope...Just not a fan of Brown-Foreman bourbons. There is just a flavor there that I don't care for no how "sophisticated" I think my palate has become.

$helby Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Picked up a Weller CYPB from a NCABC store today for $39.95 + tx. Plan to open it this weekend with some friends and compare it to W90,W107 and W12 in a blind tasting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to NASA Liquor and Spec's in Houston, and all over MI, and found a bunch of bourbon, armagnac, some C&K Brandy store picks, and a Foursquare 2005 Rum for a buddy at work. On the brandy front, fantastic picks with the Domaine de Esperance and Delord Armagnacs! If you can find Dan Farber's Osocalis XO, that is an exceptional alambic brandy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there on a Monday and they had it in later that week. I've heard that is good stuff, so I will be on the lookout for it. Too bad they have limits on the amount (and weight) for airline travel bags, as I could have brought back a few more bottles from the Houston area than I already did. The Specs downtown was amazing in terms of selection and scale. They have nothing like that in VA/NC/SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how many bottles came in? I was just curious what “very limited release” meant when I was reading up on it. . I’m hoping to post a pic on this thread if I get lucky.

Surtur Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It seems so far that Weller CYPB has only been seen in the east coast? Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Michigan it might be a while or never. I’ve been told that each local ABC Board received one case of six bottles. I missed out in the county I live in but luckily picked one up from a nearby one. They also only got one case. Oddly no one else had inquired but shortly after I purchased a bottle the remaining ones were sold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Not a bourbon but an accessory. A fellow on Instagram makes these. A sample case. Fits 10 2 oz samples (or 9 bottles and a spey dram glass). 10 elastic loops, with padded sides and middle devider. Perfect for a long weekend when you can’t pack a mini bunker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
