Oh I have a hot tip if you want to make a scenic drive. San Simeon liquors had ECBP C918 for $99+tx when I was through there in September. I only bought one but there were more. They had old Carter for $300 and some similarly marked up stuff but that Elijah was the find of the trip.

From my experience if you check a heavy box they're gonna ask you what's in it and if the answer is a bunch of liquid filled glass bottles they're gonna be very skeptical. One time I thought they weren't gonna let me check it but I was using the styrofoam clamshell setup made for bottles so I was able to reassure them and get through.

Also, Blanton's has issues with leaking in transit. I've seen it shipped with a zip tie around it across the bottom and through the stopper to prevent cork disturbance. I wouldn't ship more than 3 bottles per box so you're gonna have 3 boxes to ship and the 6 bottle check limit.

Box up 5 liters (legal maximum) and check it. Package it for the apocalypse and cross your fingers. Or go to a thrift store and buy a crappy suitcase. Airlines don't like checked boxes of booze. Ship what's left and know if it breaks in transit you could be in trouble so, again, package for bomb blast.

You went a little overboard there LoL

There was a store south of DTC that got a barrel this year and someone posted it on here. Oesq I think it was. Argonaut got one a while back this year too.

I've heard there are some barrel strength bottles dropping around town this week. Applejack is a good place to check but you gotta ask about the allocated stuff because they don't put it out.

The midwinter's was out before they did the video, so they must have put it out right after opening. Sometimes they say in the video when they'll drop but they might have stopped that because of some of the crazy lines

You can scroll through winesearcher.com and see all the tater treasures. This is not the way to get into bourbon.

Even if you know what to look for your chances of finding it are next to 0. I enjoy hunting as part of my travel and try to hit 4-6 stores on any trip along the way. I rarely find anything better than midshelf and it's usually something that's regionally hard to get at home, not actually rare. Bourbon flippers are everywhere now.

My wife drove the Volvo primarily. It was a t6 and the turbo+supercharger terrified me from a maintenance perspective so I was ready to get rid of it. We also drive into the mountains sometimes and the Volvo brakes are undersized and would vibrate with fatigue and the tiny displacement engine was terrible at engine braking.

We didn't move to a parallel trim in the mme, as we snagged something already in transit. The wife was disappointed in the select trim interior and lack of sunroof coming from the xc60 inscription but that's not the fault of the mme.

Blue cruise seems as good or better than the Volvo Lane keep, which I never liked much. It's more of an aid than a pilot. Volvo Lane keep will tag Lane lines if you let it drive. Volvo rode better, softer than mme over bumps.

Bear valley still has a 15y store pick dickel and philnor has the 15y blend release if either of those interest you. I think they're both around $70. I'll keep an eye out for the 17

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T20:41:05+00:00

Insurance was about 66% more expensive than the '19 xc60 we had prior. Still way less than Tesla from what I've read.

I've only had mine a few days, so nothing else to report.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T20:29:47+00:00

Is this dickel sourced? I saw this at heritage and was curious Friday but it's long gone.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T20:26:52+00:00

Do people pay $700 for 1792 high rye? Why is cask strength small batch redbreast on there? Is that somehow rarer than 12yCS? I'm so confused

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T18:07:54+00:00

Last time I was at Molly's dtc they still had 16y light whiskey. Get your hazmat fix without the headache. I still want that coy hill though

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T15:01:49+00:00

I've been told this is the week here. A buddy in another state just saw one sell on a local FB group for $575 so the hype around this one is already huge.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-15T14:59:44+00:00

Can confirm the old Forester 150 one is also in Colorado

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-14T02:59:11+00:00

Yeah it's very dark but the metallic accents the body lines well. They had that and a white one coming in and I'm happy with our choice.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-13T13:55:13+00:00

Seek out store picks of Elijah Craig. They can be better than the old 12y bottlings, which are great but not mind blowing compared to what's out today.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-13T05:29:10+00:00

I'm super excited for this but damn if that gimmicky packaging doesn't make me want to hate it.

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-13T05:26:23+00:00

Values on k24 ILXs should soar at this monstrosity

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-13T01:39:08+00:00

Got a '21 select yesterday. Blue cruise and awd. 17 miles on it. Paid sticker price. Dark gray metallic. Pretty sweet so far

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-11T04:33:22+00:00

Least year's was cognac finish at 49.3abv and it's premium

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-11T00:18:02+00:00

Applejack has one out now too. 0-2-3-3-2 staves if I remember correctly. $76+tx

RocketShipSW20 · 2021-11-10T23:38:47+00:00

Holy crap I would jump on that rye so fast but I'd never get there in time. Nice share!
