And it’s Chris Stapleton’s whiskey… who doesn’t drink, interestingly

I don’t smoke them, but play bocce at a cigar bar every Thursday. Trying to get them to get some so I can try before I buy

What are some good cigar blends other than Joseph Magnus? I’m going to a tasting at the liquor store this even of a Starlight a cigar blend. I’ve never had one, but they do seem to be gaining some popularity.

Yep, there seems to be stark contrasts from state to state on what is available. I’ve been hearing that production went up at several distilleries, though, and demand has waivered, so there is an expectation of more available bottles.

In some areas, yes. Really depends on your area of the country. I can get it for $24, and really wasn’t referring to that one. The JD Coy Hill and Wellers aren’t anywhere here except maybe with a Total Wine raffle.. more stuff is starting to show up recently, though

Yea, the goal was really to get something to discuss trades, where allocations had been dropped, etc. that kind of thing could easily be missed in that big thread.. much like it was at HyVee

I’ll continue to talk to myself in this thread because @HuskerGarrett is too busy counting stacks from here and TikTok to move this thread… 🤣 I snagged a Maker’s BEP today. Hopefully it is as good as the BRT.

They had Midwinter Night’s Dram and Old Fitz 8 at MSRP today, but unfortunately I am not on a high enough tier to buy. Come June I will be top tier. He said Old Fitz 8 will be on the shelf (non-allocated) next month!

Buddy sent me this from a bottle share with a group in IN. I told hIm he can FUCK RIGHT OFF!

It’s a great one to share with friends that are new to whiskey or don’t like higher proof stuff. Or if you just want something light and smooth with decent flavor every now and again

Frank August small batch 👍

Found it! Also, as you can see, I bought the Caribou Crossing @HuskerGarrett. Great bottle to share with people that aren’t fans of higher proofs.

First pour of Widow Jane 10… not bad at all. After it opened up a bit, it was quite smooth. Caramel, bit of oak and rye spice, decent finish. Got an OF King Ranch coming Monday that I’m looking forward to.

I had a pour of it to see if I was interested. It’s smooth, melted buttery, butterscotch. A little sweet, yet mellow for my taste, but could be expected at 80 proof

FYI- the Kentucky Owl Maighstir was a pleasant surprise. Really rich, and smooth, earthy flavors. Glad I got a backup when I found it on sale.
