Gulfport is selling their pick for 85.99


I find Ms prices high for the most part. I stop at a place in waveland sometimes. It has good selection but does run high for the most part. I’m guessing something to do with Ms taxes? Not sure.

That said, $40 is a ridiculous price increase

Nearly indeed. How do you like that bottle? I’ve seen but never had Pinhook.

That Old Forester SB BS was 49.99 right?

Correct. Sipping on it now. Very nice. Not sure I'd have bought it at $85

May as well go through my evening.

FPD was Elijah Craig Aquistipace pick. Bought a bottle for my BIL for his birthday and he wanted to open it up right then.

2PD was the Elios OF.

LastPD is Evan Williams BIB. I'm all over the place tonight

That 85$ pricing was insane. I don’t get how people would even justify paying for it at that price. I’m gonna open it up Friday, looking forward to it.

I guess I missed all the LBC drama..

All the stores in Houston have the OF BS picks for 80 or 85. The Elios price was crazy cheap.

It's great stuff. This particular barrel pick is outstanding. Personally I am a big fan of Pinhook both what they are doing bourbon wise as well as marketing. My favorite release was their "Bourbon N Rye" from 2018, which is still on some shelves. I think it was around $35? Can't recall. This particular bottle is $60 if I remember correctly, and it's worth every penny.


As far as their marketing strategy goes, they are trying to change the way bourbon is sold. It's owned by wine sommeliers, and they recognize that each year's release is unique based on barrels and such. Instead of just releasing under the same branding every year they are pushing for expressions instead. The idea is that as the flavor profile changes it will have it's own brand. That Bourbon N Rye for instance is now "Rye'd On." Even though it's the same mashbill, it has it's own unique flavor profile. They use a coloring system for the wax dips to designate that it's the same mashbill.

Also what's cool is that their names for releases are all based on race horses.

I like Pinhook. Still have an unopened 2018 bourbon country.
