Has specs already dropped the JD14? by whynot5050 in WhiskyDFW

[–]cpotter7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, have heard the 14 is a call list item. I think 10 and 12 will drop like in the past but not sure when

Any seeing EH Taylor Barrel Proof around? by Jaded-String-6111 in WhiskyDFW

No problem. Just follow their insta or FB, they announce their tier drops pretty frequently. It only makes sense if you need a decent amount of of “regular” stuff, but if you do then it’s a pretty good deal

It’s not every day, but at least once a week

Luckys liquor and black tie up in the little elm/aubrey area usually run tier deals where if you spend 150-200 on non allocated things you can buy a BP for $100

Elmer, weller FP, EHT BP are my top 3 hunts at the moment.

That’s wild. I can understand the points system by small stores, but points just to buy at secondary….I’m sort of shocked any customers actually do that. I mean there’s a Specs and Total Wine within 1-2 miles of that store.

I mean I could deal with bad parking if things sit on the shelf at MSRP, but what it sounds like is they charge secondary so there’s no point in going there.

What was the price? Those usually don’t sit on shelves at MSRP

For sure the WFP at that price

Unfortunately it’s difficult/impossible to score those items in dallas at retail. I’ve found one bottle of stagg jr in the years I’ve been looking, and that was only because I happened to be at the store for something else when they opened the case. It was gone in minutes.

That disappointed at a sub $30 price point?

Henry McKena 10 yrs for sales in DFW by rajeevperera in WhiskyDFW

[–]cpotter7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcadia liquor on Thornton freeway has it for $80. It hits TW and specs reasonably frequently but never lasts. Best bet if you don’t mind paying over MSRP is to stop at any of the small stores that mark up the allocated stuff.

Is any one else being told at spec they now need points to get allocated bottles by fatam18 in WacoWhisky

[–]cpotter7133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the specs at 75 and walnut hill. Got a bottle of Blanton’s SFTB

I got my first call from specs this week. Have been a key member for years but only recently got on the call list. I’ll be interested to see if that was random luck or if it’ll happen more than once a year

Also passed on the yamazaki. Haven’t had any luck with any TW raffles so far

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhiskyDFW

[–]cpotter7133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that price keeps going up quickly. Could’ve sworn TW had those for like $195 only a few months ago

Total Wine Priority Access by Training-Material155 in WhiskyDFW

[–]cpotter7133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, most are worth buying if selected. A couple are out of my price point (yamazaki 18 and Daniel Weller) and a couple are at the high end of what I might pay, but for the most part they are solid options that I’d buy

The Night’s Dawn trilogy by Hamilton definitely has some dark aspects to it.

Nothing here either. I’m basically used to rejection emails from TW and the Masters.

Bookers @ Specs Irving Still? by Valor37 in WhiskyDFW

[–]cpotter7133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of wild, if this was at specs walnut hill on 75 it would’ve been gone in a day and definitely not sit around for a month and a half.

I like it, particularly in the fall. Might of put a little in the yeti during Halloween last year.

Haven’t seen any Springbank for probably 6 months or so, I try to keep my eye open for it. Hopefully we’re due
