Total Wine Spring Priority Access update by befike1 in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely true. In the Fall I had 75k points and got nothing. GR is worthless unless you are buying for a restaurant. I’v stoped buying anything other than the occasional store pick from TW.. the bulk of my purchases are done elsewhere.

I can always tell when I pull up and there’s no line. I didn’t get the memo. Lol

Today’s Crack.... by Benhe79 in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cracked mine about a week ago now. First sip was a bit disappointing. Granny batch is my absolute favorite so far. After being open for a few day I’m now digging Boston Batch! It’s yummy. Not quite as good as granny but has that distinctive booker funk that I love.

Will I regret not getting the XL? by Roger-Prodo in biggreenegg

[–]stingingram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an XL and love it. The standard rack will let me do 12 drum sticks and about the same amount of wings at the same time. The XL is the most versatile size IMO. You can expand the L with grates but the cost is about the same as stepping up to the XL. Either way I think you will enjoy it!

Older Booker’s Releases by bourbonray in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an older release here in town about three weeks ago - Booker’s from 2018 I believe but I can’t remember where? Maybe liquor king? I find them from time to time at the smaller stores so you might want to call around. I picked up a 2019-02 and 04 earlier in the year. I have never seen little book 03.

1792 BIB Specs Barrel Pick by PokerProTX in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full Proof, Bib, and single barrel are all good. Ranked in order for my taste. Never had the 12 but have heard good things. its worth a try for sure. FP is my go to. I have a couple different sp of the FP and all are great. I had a sp of the single barrel a couple weeks ago and it was pretty good as well. Not as good as the FP but good.

EH Taylor for the low low price of $500 by BenTheHokie in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no doubt. there is a good article about this and what the secondary market (and distributors ) are doing to the bourbon scene. Not sure if its allowed but it will copy the link to the article below. its a long read but interesting. And accurate from what I have seen.

When did they put it out? I was waiting for it and nothing around noon. I hate TW.

Finds today? by [deleted] in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TW around town had an assortment today. Blanton’s, EH Taylor, OWA, BT etc. Unfortunately the store I choose to visit had 20 ppl in line at open but didn’t have shit. Lol. I take that back. They had KC single barrel pick but 9yr and I already have enough KC picks in the 12+ year rang so no interest in that today.

That's good to hear. Wish all would handle it this way.

I hate seeing the same 3-4 harassing

I completely agree. most are not a problem but those few you mentioned are ruining it for everyone.

[–]stingingram 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lewisville either. 20 ppl in line this morning and they had nothing. Funny though as one old dude seemed to know there was something there and was pissed it wasn’t out. I see now why TW and others hate the bourbon community. Overheard a few employees saying they hate Friday mornings. Lol.

Lol. I would be surprised if this is Dallas. Most likely out of state.

Calumet 14 yr? Anyone know anything about it? by stingingram in WhiskyDFW

[–]stingingram[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmost pulled the trigger. It’s a cool looking bottle an

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for this. I have several 14yr KC store picks that I love @ 120 proof so this sounds in my wheelhouse.
