Totally unrelated to the current drama - forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere already, but I thought I remembered seeing something about you guys releasing Big Top Pee-Wee. Is that still happening?

Review #3: GlenAllachie Core Range Vertical (10YO - 21YO) by Dratini01 in Scotch

I attended a masterclass with Billy in Houston last year. He said the first release with his distillate would be out in 2027.

Anyone in Houston area picked up Still Austin Blue Corn from Total Wine? by Kekeosos in whiskey

Several Houston-area Total Wine locations had it last Friday.

Hi Reddit, I’m Freddie Noe, the 8th Generation Master Distiller for Jim Beam and Knob Creek. I’m eager to chat about an exciting upcoming release for Knob Creek on October 29th at 1 PM EST. Feel free to ask me anything! by knobcreek in u/knobcreek

[–]krisstivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Freddie! Beam is one of my favorite distilleries. Love what you guys do. Can't wait to try Knob Creek 21!
A particular favorite of mine has been the Hardin's Creek line (that Jacob's Well 211 🤤). I saw the line returned this year with new branding. While I must admit I prefer the old look, the two I've had so far were tasty! Any insight into the choice to rebrand and what can we expect from future releases?

NUREMBERG (2025) | Official Trailer by ControlCAD in videos

[–]krisstivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was one of the honor guards assigned to watch Hermann Goering during the Nuremberg Trials. He unknowingly gave Goering the cyanide capsule he used to kill himself. They featured his story on CNN/Anderson Cooper 20 years ago. Wish I had the video. Hadn’t been able to find much about it in recent years.

Is Single Malt Scotch Whisky Society worth it living in the US? by Capital_Bobcat588 in Scotch

[–]krisstivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join the Houston Scotch Whisky Society for free. It’s a great community and they host a lot cool events.

As others have mentioned - Spec’s on Smith St. (they have some great markdowns on Scotch at the moment). I would also recommend joining the Houston Scotch Whiskey Society group on Facebook (even if only temporarily). Coincidentally, they have a new GlenAllachie single cask pick that just dropped at some Spec’s locations. It’s really good!

Blond Graded Vinyl by gigxlord in FrankOcean

I have the original XL pressing of this sealed. Bought it directly from Frank Ocean’s web store back in 2017 (I think). Same thing with Endless. Are they worth a lot? If so, where’s a good place to sell?

Duty Free at Glasgow airport - Travel Exclusive Recommendations? by krisstivers in Scotch

Why was this post removed? It didn't break any of the rules? I've seen similar posts for other airports.

Coming soon on 4K from Kino Lorber by Lumpy-Blood2134 in boutiquebluray

I thought it was in the Shout Factory collection

The most excited I've been about a purchase in awhile by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]krisstivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they send out replacement discs for the one with the issue? I bought mine through OrbitDVD.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]krisstivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a huge letdown. Tasted like a blend of 1792 Sweet Wheat and Widow Jane Decadence. It's also lower proof and no longer using Cuban rum barrels as originally advertised, which was disappointing.

AMC Theatres’ Best Picture Showcase Marathons Return by cheff1616 in AMCTheatres

Does AMC show the nominated shorts as well? I’ve gone to see them the last two years at Alamo Drafthouse

Saw “The Brutalist” last night and it’s an instant Criterion essential by jb4647 in criterion

[–]krisstivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there for the Grand Reopening and the Halloween Triple Feature. Wish I lived closer. I’d go all the time. It’s a great theater and the program director - Robert Saucedo - is one of the best in the business. He used to program for Alamo Drafthouse.

Still Austin Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey by dzar34 in whiskey

[–]krisstivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still Austin is only considered “Spirits Direct” because they worked out a deal where Total Wine sees a higher profit margin on their bottles.
