I’m hoping it’s good, Tom. He wasn’t pouring samples. But I’ve enjoyed most of their store picks so far.
Oh, he offered to sell me a Whistle Pig 21 year Beholden, at msrp ($800). Ouch.

Christmas allocated drops have been announced at the local spot, they tried being cute last year with random timed releases each day but they probably got tired of people standing around in the store so this year they're going straightforward, a table of stuff out when they open each morning Friday-Sunday. Usually the first 2-3 spots get the big boys (pappy, birthday bourbon, etc) and the next dozen or so get something special (parkers, 4R LE, etc). Last year I got an EHT BP at one of these but the guy a few in front of me that was only there a couple hours earlier got Pappy 23, hopefully I can out-crazy them this year

Actually that price is pretty fair but I'm certainly not a buyer, I have a friend that got one but never heard if he liked it or not

Cracked open the OFSiBBP. The nose reminds me of buttered French toast with maple syrup. Not shabby for a neck pour.

We are not sure about the annual massive New Year's Eve Eve drop from Saz/BT and Spec's this year. The social media guy from the main store has let it be known he is not in the loop for this year's potential drop. My telegram group is saying it will move from the main Dallas store to one close to my office and corporate apartment. How big and what will be available, we have not heard yet. Last year, the party started 5 days earlier and there was several thousand in line. I avoid it if possible, but with a bed/show/toilet within striking distance, I might consider it if the rumor is true.

![]() In my experience there are two very different ways it can go when somebody else sees this side of the hobby. I'll never forget the thanksgiving drop when a guy brought his girlfriend, got there 5 minutes before they opened so he was about 300 people back, then she pulls out her phone to make a video calling everybody there plus her boyfriend an idiot for waiting for bourbon. I can't imagine it was worth the day full of ridicule for a consolation bottle of Eagle Rare ![]() ![]()

Tony have you seen any Blanton's Gold store picks? I've got a friend in Texas that got one and said there were a few other stores around that had them, first I'd heard of them but he said it was delicious

Did a little hunting while I was out Xmas shopping. As usual, my local store comes thru.
![]() Looks like they’re putting out various HTF bottles. There was another one I wanted but it was a limit of one. So I had a friend stop by after work. Snagged me a Bookers 2022-01. ![]()
