Certain batches are fetching more... Seen some Batch 9 for 400, Batch 12 is close to 375 

 


🤦🏻‍♂️
I remember when $400 was considered a high secondary price for GTS.

Boy do I miss those!

I have in the past kept one of those around; but now they have fallen prey to the BT Ben Dover program in these parts...

Yep ole Mr. Dover has been making the rounds here too.  I hear he's been promoted to chief marketing manager up in Frankfort....

 

Luckily I bought this bottle back in 2018 before his most recent visits...

Too funny!!! 🤣

I should be flogged for lack of insight, but I'll have a Statesman instead...

I never got around to picking one of these up, before the Tater insanity set in on the mid-shelf bottles. I always liked the CEHT SmB well enough, I didn't feel the need to pay the extra $25 to get a single barrel that might miss the palate mark.

Oh well, live and learn, buy it if you want to try it, you might not get another chance 🙄

Had a great Saturday, slept in, wife took kid to jiu jitsu and came back with kolaches and brewed a pot.  Took my 7 year old to my favorite ghetto par 3 course.  Good times when you tee up on hole one, the local good ole boys hanging out at the “club house” comment on how the kiddo hit it straight on to the green while you hit it 20 yards over the green and to the right.  Afterwards went to a local brewery for a beer while the kid played some arcade car game and some miniature golf outside.  Met the wife for an early dinner on the patio area of an overpriced pizzeria/bistro in one of those gentrified parts of town.  Luckily place is next to one of my favorite liquor stores.

 

I ended up finally buying some tater bait, 5 year $50 NDP from Indiana with cool stickers.  First SAOS since when this place had literally over 20 barrels of SAOS all 10-13 years for almost the same price.  Told the owner I must of bought three cases worth over 1-2 years they had them.  She told me some rancher came in from Corpus Christi and bought 10 cases one Christmas.

 

Also some 12 year RL Seale and that one of you highly recommended and a Pear brandy I had before that I really liked.

Been having a bit of an off palate for a few days, so I opened something that usually works when things are off-  Larceny (store pick). This one's from somewhere different, and boy, is it hitting the spot! Last pick I had was also a new one and very meh, but this one's pretty darn good...we'll see how it progresses.

So, I picked this up last weekend. As I was paying, a Millennial walked in, asked the cashier, for "any allocated bourbons". He was told, we don't have any, he turned around and walked out. I chuckled to myself, I have my "allocated " Bourbon right here. 

Opened it up tonight, yep, good purchase. 

 

Cheers

I had to chuckle a bit when I read this @Wedelstaedt. I’m normally the one asking about allocated bourbons in back or behind the counter. 😀 I’ve seen “millennials” around here on their phones sending pics, then they’ll ask the person they’re talking to if they should buy it. Or, as in one instance I overheard, “So, do you think it’s worth notifying the rest of the guys? “ 🙄

Had the last dram of my summer refridgerator GW4G today and whipped up a new batch (no fridge) for the fall.  That qualifies as opening a new bottle, yes???   🥳

Yes. That’s a great bottle to use as well.

One consolation of this pandemic is that the WT101 is tasting better than ever.   And the WT101 Rye is back!

For the man whose doctor told him to cut back to one drink a day.

"A man's got to know his limitations."  Apparently he ain't got none.
