Nice grab on the infinity! Hope to find one as well but seeming unlikely. I did grab a Bookers Reserve on black friday, tough decision between that and OGD 16yr until I looked at the prices and the Bookers was $50 cheaper. Haven't bought any Bookers in years (mostly because they're rarely available out here) but I got to try a sample of this one and really liked it. The bottle will get opened in a future year, stuck it in the back of the cabinet for now

I stopped into Mabry's (formerly Maisano's) while out doing some Xmas shopping. Grabbed a BT barrel select, a Town Branch Single Barrel (for $50, I won't pass it up), and some ECBP B524.

That's how you make Xmas shopping palatable, James!

Nice grabs! I'm curious to hear how the Town Branch is, I tried a single barrel one time that tasted like sour fruit candy, it was wild

It's only the third bottle I've had, so I'm hoping for good things. For the other two, one was around 108-ish proof, and was a little hot. The other was closer to 120 and was pretty tasty (but unspectacular). I'm hoping that plays out the same with this one.

For $50 it's worth it. $60+, and I'd rather get a Penelope or Still Austin Barrel Proof, or a KC 12.

Pillaging Total Wine in Fremont. Bookers 24-04 on the shelf. Actually went back tonight and grabbed another bottle. It’s kind of like the 24-02 IMHO.
