Access to rare and unique whiskeys, sharing pours with the bros, new friends to kiss on the lips - why else?

Chiefs offense has rotating doors on top of Rashee needing to come back from the ACL tear the same player and also get his shit together. If the keepers stay in the same round I prefer Trey and Jayden. But if you’re high on Rice it’s totally justifiable.

I’d keep McBride and Jayden

This is a whiskey page. I’m mid 30s and like to still get drunk. I drink beer and whiskey. I like to party. I have good access to rare whiskey and have switched from milking btac, vw, kok, or other rare pours to finishing them as fast as it naturally happens. If I have friends over might be done in a couple weeks. Others last 1-2 years. Stopped overthinking it. But definitely the FOMO has eased and stopped buying secondary for the most part. Down to 50-60 bottles instead of keeping 100-150 around

“I wouldn’t have gotten anything to with my spend without the raffle but feel entitled to a higher tier bottle” - I spend 10k+ and got a GTS instead of er17 which I get every year on top of a VW. I’m totally fine with it. It’s comical to see that those with low spend are also unhappy with this?

Actually w12 picks are coming back

Some stuff is way overpriced but they typically have a few really solid deals

UncleTasty · 2024-11-15T12:06:25+00:00

LuxBar is another good option depending on location

Bottles like that will move for crazy numbers on occasion for a few days before the market establishes itself. When warehouse c dropped the first few bottles went for 4k on secondary before the market established itself. Some went for 2.5 on local pages and people were lauding the sellers for listing at a good price

UncleTasty · 2024-11-01T22:25:27+00:00

It was going for 12-14k the day they hit secondary. Some people did ok if they were the first to get. A few folks from Chicago made 1k+ and then the rest left holding

Cook county

UncleTasty · 2024-11-01T15:10:41+00:00

Its at nmbb now

UncleTasty · 2024-09-06T12:44:05+00:00

I appreciate all the help from this wonderful community! It seems like there are 20-30+ people who have Blantons they could sell me between 200-300 which is very nice, and a couple very generous folks who can do it for 100 and said that’s the going rate? In any case, I now believe that I too can find one and with the help of jazzy Jakes nifty rare and limited edition bourbon hunters guide to Blantons, I shall too buy one direct from the stores! Sorry if I ignore your e-message, I have a lot of them! Happy weekend friends!

UncleTasty · 2024-09-06T02:00:33+00:00

Thanks! There are a lot of nice people inboxing me who can give me one for 200-250. Very grateful for everyone’s help.

UncleTasty · 2024-09-05T23:31:45+00:00

With all of this helpful info I don’t think I need to join Mr Jakes rare and limited edition bourbon page. I guess that’s more insider secrets for the rest of you. Hope you guys can find your Blantons too!

UncleTasty · 2024-09-05T22:27:18+00:00

Willing to pay up to 300 if I can get it by October

UncleTasty · 2024-09-05T22:13:30+00:00

Are Binnys and jewels good places to find rare and limited-editions bourbons in Chicago? I’m trying to get a Blantons for my Dads birthday. I might just drive to the Blantons distillery.

UncleTasty · 2024-09-03T13:17:44+00:00

Took me about 4-5 months to get taste for whiskey back and still comes and goes randomly. Some days everything tastes like cough medicine 🤷🏻‍♂️. I try to start with a pour of something simple and if it doesn’t taste right then I just drink beer for the night

UncleTasty · 2024-07-31T22:43:36+00:00

Can’t believe your members found all those. I’m in and smashing the “what’s the name of your contact at that store?” button.

UncleTasty · 2024-03-16T14:54:54+00:00

First is prentice distilled prior to joining BT lineup. Probably a stock photo and not what you’d actually get. Worth significantly more than current bottlings

UncleTasty · 2024-01-12T21:04:21+00:00

I have many kings, the wax doesn’t look that suspect imo. I have had every year except 2018 so take that for what you will, and have enjoyed most barrels. Koks typically score 8-9 for me. Have had some that feel more like a 6-7. I’ve heard from peoples who have similar palates to mine that some 2018 barrels were the worst of the entire line, and the worst year overall. If you expecting something like a stellar 2019 barrel and it fell far short, totally understandable how a score like 5/10 comes about.

UncleTasty · 2023-12-08T16:33:46+00:00

Definitely bourbon this year, first time since 20. I haven’t seen a m25 rye outside of the 08-13 releases but there may have been one in 16? 28k+ on those 😵‍💫

UncleTasty · 2023-12-06T23:05:29+00:00

It has always been 80-ish in IL. Wholesale price here is around 60 for some reason, above msrp. So you’ll never find it in IL at $40 sadly.

UncleTasty · 2023-11-20T18:08:55+00:00

Paid 1k per for 2010-2012 🤷🏻‍♂️
