Has anyone done a side by side comparison between ETL, Blantons or RHF?

I've never done a side by side with all 3 but to me ETL is a notch or two below Blanton's and RHF. I haven't had RHF is quite some time though.

Its a notch below Blantons.

Blantons is also one of my favorite, if not favorite, pours so I might be biased.

You can find it on the internet for like $40 or so, gonna pay about $15 for shipping so might as well get two bottles toe make it worth the shipping

Bin Q had it, kept it all in back, and sold out. Them, Churchhills and Hocus Pocus are only ones in area I have heard of getting it. Probably best to ask JFLSU though, he seems to be the biggest bottle hunter in town

A little off-topic here, but tLandmass just made Angel's Envy available.

Qbin got some, but from what I was told "only the owner can negotiate what he feels is a fair market price for it, and he's not here"

I haven't seen RHF in BR in well over a year. Churchill's used to always have it on the shelf. It is probably the most allocated of the BT brands. I have ordered it in the past and need to place another order soon.

Yeah they also had some Ghost behind the counter that they "couldn't sell me." I'll never go back, used to buy most of my stuff from there since I live in southdowns.

So obviously you are excluding the BTAC and Pappy when you say its the most allocated of the BT brands? You can just google it and find places to order from online at a fair price

I have only been back once since the Chris Pontius look alike asked me if I was a "cool dude" before giving me some Weller. It was late at night, needed bitters and Vermouth and it was my only option. When I was checking out I asked the people behind the counter where their buddy that looked like Chris Pontius was haha. They got this offended look on their face and acted like they didn't know who that was. I said, "you know the guy from Jackass, yall's buddy with the ponytail looks like him". For as laid back as hipsters like to act like they are they sure can be up-tight at times haha

Yeah, I haven't been back for the same reason. Not only was Mark keeping his own stock back but he was bottle hunting around town and selling at secondary out of the back room. To me that passes an extreme a-hole line.

Yes. I am not not including BTAC and Pappy in that statement as they are one time per year releases. The rest of the BT line is "supposed" to be released throughout the year but most are now allocated.

I visited Q-Bin back room in December, they have several yrs of allocations stashed back there. He was asking ridiculous prices.
