Many Houston Specs got a shipment today.
They had Blantons too. But it was one or the other couldn’t get both.

Stopped by my Specs in The Woodlands and Conroe, they had neither but had heard about the others getting some in. I’m running low on Blanton’s so hoping they’ll get some in over the next few days.

Guys, what is a great beginner bourbon? Normally drink crown and 7up... just want to get into drinking something on ice.

I’d also add the following, all of which should be readily available and on the shelves:

Buffalo Trace
Elijah Craig
Russels Reserve
Sazerac (rye)


If you’re wanting something higher proof:

Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Jack Daniels Barrel Proof

Enjoy!

Angels Envy is pretty smooth, easy to find and not expensive to start.

This is a dangerous path friend, that Crown you loved for years will become trash and you will start scouring stores for allocated bourbons and spending $$ on stuff you never knew you wanted [emoji23][emoji23]

I had some folks over last weekend who aren’t really bourbon people (beer drinkers). Out of 20+ bourbons they tried while here, they ended up choosing Wolfford’s Reserve Distiller Select and Bookers 2020-02 as their top two.

I was a bit surprised, as they liked it over Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered McKenna, Blantons, EH Taylor (this was one of their least favorites), ER, Stagg Jr, Stagg, and many more reputable bourbons.

Funny how true bourbon drinkers like some while the occasional drinker likes others. We have discussed that here before.

It is. And on the next visit they might like something else.

Had a great tasting with our group this week. FP at 125 was the clear leader. Sweet Wheat had a bad spot in queu so didn’t do well. High Rye was a winner. And one guy loved the SB. Support the US. Drink bourbon [emoji1634]

Should be good. Wilderness Trail is one of my favorite craft/new distillers.

While not bourbon I grabbed a cask strength of one of my favorite whiskeys from Costco this week. Redbreast 12 year old cask strength is an incredible pour and surprisingly smooth for the high abv. If you like Irish whiskey it’s a must have bottle
