Come to Oak Point if your near BR. Best prices in town.



My buddy came in and grabbed two bottles today

He did in fact say y’all were $5-$10 cheaper per bottle than everywhere else in the city

The tomatin 12 was only $31. Figured you deserved a shout out

What happened to Saz18 this year? No auctions had any and I don’t even see it on the secondary market.

I haven’t seen any either now you say that. Maybe since they didn’t have as many bottles as last year, the pickin’s were summer than normal.

Home bar etiquette:

Is it rude to have an unopened bottle on display on your bar? I understand having an unopened bottle underneath it, because you have an open one on top.
If you have a bottle on display, should it be open, so if you offer someone a drink and they say they’ll try XYZ, they won’t feel bad if you open it for them?

Now, this doesn’t apply to Pappy’s, Louis Tre, Mac25, etc

If you really like that person (and chances are you do because they are at your house) your entire bar is open to them, IMO.

It's there, but it's going for around $800 or something crazy. ER17 is well over $1k I believe. Crazy. Must have been super low output this year.

If I only have one bottle of PVW23, and it’s sitting on my bar, unopened, I’m not going to open it for a guest. If it’s open (like mine is), I will pour them a small shot.

I got one of those from a customer yesterday. I’m going to pour myself one in about an hour once the kids go to bed

Spoke too soon. Ending up with a Martins Blantons pick.



Also grabbed this Martins pick after sampling it.





And I always enjoy buffalo trace barrel picks

Solid day of shopping

Dang I just sent you an email, I hope I didn't miss out. Picked my twins up early so I didn't get to follow the thread too close this afternoon.
