So you aren't going to offer to get any GOAT for the BR krewe, or at least tell them where to find it and BCBS?

I thought I just offered Kim. I have no idea where it is, or if it is, in BR. NOLA still has Ghost at the usual suspects around town. It is moving fast apparently.

They have limits on all of it.

Awesome. We haven't have a beer nerd/bourbon hoarder throwdown in a couple months. Let's do this shite.

Dammit, ft. Totally unnecessary. They've slipped into the FBD threads a few times lately and been cool. This is dumb.

I didn't start it. At least I don't think I did. I was only instructed to stay out of the other thread, I contributed to this one.

In fairness, I didn't know we were at war with each other until the last time I screwed around. I am making up for lost time.

I know where a bottle of 23 is for $600. You don't have to worry about me getting it as long as their charter 8 handle less handle is still 28 clams.

Nope not at all. Just tast like really good bourbon. It's just more difficult to obtain than others.

RIP Charter 10 and the handle

I just googled Charter 10, and the third link is for the thread when it was discontinued.

RIP EJW

Is Pappy even Pappy anymore? Or is it just some Buffalo Trace with a fancy label now?

No way the old man had that much hoarded away.

That's how I found TD when googling for pappy

From what I have heard supposedly the 23 is still SW juice possibly. The 20 May or may not be or may be a mix and the 15 is BT. I don't try to keep up...whatever it is, my mouth loves it reguardless if it's 10 deep on the shelf or I gotta wait a year to buy more. Buffalo trace cranks out good stuff so I'm glad that are running it and it's not just dead in the water....and I think the VW bloodline is still involved with it. The bourbon world loves it's smoke and mirrors.

I read last fall that the 2013 23-yr was the last PURE SW juice ( LINK). Subsequent releases will still be mostly SW product, but with a bit of some Buffalo Trace product...though that ratio will change year-to-year.

ETA: Postscript from that site says Preston may have backtracked from that statement.

We made it through almost 4 pages before the first picture got posted. A new record!

I KNEW I should have posted pictures of the back of the SUV that came back from Chicago a few weeks ago, but I think it's kind of obnoxious. Not to be confused with the dead soldiers from our bottle shares where everyone contributes (sort of the opposite of hoarding, isn't it?) or one's FBD or First Pour Day.

LST, I thought you got Ghost from some of the BR Krewe-you still have my digits, give me a shout. I think you're trolling almost as hard as ft in this thread.

Appreciate that last haul of beer ft. I got your back. We know we share well. Heck, one of the top local brewers took time out from the production line and scored me some BCBS since I was out of town on release day.

F that. I'm sure it's good whiskey, but I can't believe it's that good. Have the Chinese caught whiff of Pappy yet? If Americans wanting to look cool haven't already ruined the high price bourbon market, then the Chinese will surely rip the market to shreds. As my Dad tells me every other day, the second most powerful law in the Universe is the law of supply and demand.

I'm trying to figure out if the goat population is larger in Nola than BR, or if there are less shepherds tending flock.


I was told 30 cases.

But we have some master herders down here.
