99 if I’m at work. 236 if I’m at home. (Had to look them up, knowing your store number is some dedication)
The store at fair lakes has a legit whiskey selection. One of the few shops I’ve seen carrying yellow spot.
you know about whiskeydb, right?

Yeah. The stores that get interesting bottles are the one in Dulles landing and aldie. One I. Fair lakes gets special order bottles.
I know my store number from having to enter it into the lotteries
You know vabourbon.com too right

This bottle keeps getting better and better! My local ABC has been killing it on the store picks lately. So glad I went back the day after opening this to grab another bottle because they were sold out just this past weekend. Gonna try to save it for my 50th birthday bash this coming August!
I've had more success with whiskydb
Looking for yellow spot, not finding anything:

Cracked open a store pick my sister in law got for me. I believe their regular offering is a 4 year, but this pick is a 5 year. Good stuff at first pour, it’ll get even better as it opens up.

People need Yellow Spot? I can get Yellow Spot.
I won a bottle of Smoke Wagon Apex Barrel in a raffle. Very excited. May try to trade it for a bottle of 15yr Pappy depending on the availability with my connections.
Which is the apex? Is it a store pick or rare and limited?
my SWElevator wasn’t even valued at a pappy15

The Smoke Wagon store picks are THAT valuable? I certainly learned something new today.

Store Pick single barrel #5901.
The only private barrel SWs that are in PVW15 range that I know of are the Crazy Naz and the WUFs but I’m sure there’s other less familiar ones. I think most barrel proof picks are in the $200-300 range
As I was researching which bottle to choose, I learned that, also. The Smoke Wagon Apex Barrel and the Elevator Batch bottles go for about $1000 on the secondary because they are so rare. I was shocked to learn that. It turned out that I won the first pick so I went with the Apex Barrel. I was planning on going with the EH Taylor single barrel or Stagg Jr if I went lower in the raffle. They had other really good picks. 18yr Elijah Craig was one off the top of my head I remember.
PVW15 is around $1.5k nowadays I think. Nice pickup.

Feeling bummed, missed out on a Weller Full Proof store pick. Local whiskey club put out a link for 118 bottles, gone in 56 seconds lol. Barely missed, I scrolled through to verify my info like a dummy.

If any of you find yourself in Oregon try McMenamins. They've been making craft beer, wine, spirits and coffee since 1983.
They have a whiskey called Hogshead that's quite exceptional. Sadly they only sell it there and don't ship outside of the state.

Still bummed about that full proof… fuck it, grilling a porterhouse with a pour of this delicious stuff. One of my favorite bottle that I have opened up right now.

Is this good and worth $125? The 10 year was 3bills.

I don’t think it’s too tough to find and while never trying it, I haven’t heard good things.

If something is *still* on the shelf at Meijer when you get there, it is probably overpriced for what you get.

Yeah, was curious. Only bottle of that one I've ever seen.

Not worth it, correct?

Woodford Batch Proof is pretty good. The Fine Old is crap.

Beautiful evening to crack open the bottle.
I bought one just because it says Kentucky Owl. What I later learned is that you buy ANY other bottle from Kentucky Owl that DOESN'T say Confiscated....
Whiskey can be so strange. I had a Wild Turkey Rare Breed the other night. I used to really dig this one, but I didn't care for it for some reason.
I am having it again tonight and loving it more than ever.
I am a whiskey psycho...

You're not alone, man... That happens to me all the time.
A couple of night ago I had a pour of OCAW batch 4 and I picked it apart. I thought I could forever recognize it. Tonight I went back to it and i got ZERO of the same notes, LOL! Still great but unrecognizable from just two days ago.
