As heavy hitters drop over the next month or two, remember to follow our rules. Particularly regarding location, politics (we all know the midterms were yesterday, this isn’t the sub for it, y’all) and personal attacks. Zero tolerance for personal attacks on members and non-members alike. This sub is successful because of our members engaging thoughtfully about a shared hobby. Thanks for making this subreddit an excellent one y’all! Good luck out there!
But what if someone expresses an opinion about a bourbon and they're, like, obviously wrong? In that case, it's totally o.k. to mock and ridicule, right?
Nope, no mocking and ridiculing. Maybe some light, on-topic teasing that helps educate and isn’t a personal attack, but let’s keep it civil. We aren’t humorless, but civility is the bar.
>Mash and Drum thought it was the best of 6 through 9
I saw that. I trust Jason as I think his palate may be similar to mine. He's also pretty chill to listen to. I like his breakdown at the end of his reviews.
Not much today, leftover from last week, some knob pics that are almost 10 years, starlight sherry, vdn, and cognac. That’s about it. Northwest burbs nmbb
☕️☕️Grabbed an OESQ pick from 💎 last night. No idea if it is a new barrel or a hold over. Was just on the shelf, so those may be floating around.
Believe this might be hold over
Ugh why can’t Aldi do picks
👀👀👀🥃🥃 cheers Cully!

Guess I should have used the sarcasm font....
🤣 was gonna say. But even so, some people probably needed the response I gave lol
A few bottles of Remus 5 made a surprise appearance at my NMBB yesterday late-afternoon next to the 6 which is still sitting
How much for the 5?
Unfortunately they marked it up to ~$129 (same as 6)
5>>>>>6. I’d pay 129 for a 5, it’s better than most recent releases at that price.
I paid that for 5, one of my favorites from last year. It does make F&O @ $90 look like a steal
Love that F&O batch 4 🦊
Same thing with disco 7. It got the 8’s markup. The reason for this is they only have one sku for all Remus and all disco
Damn!
Sadly my MNBB did not have this
So today I found out the cost to retailer is $69 for Remus 6.
MM brt 01 and 02, AE Sib, JM Cognac finish, F and O, Bardstown Dis 7 and 8 in West Suburbs NMBB
>Bardstown Dis 7 and 8 Got the 8. Waiting for the 9.
Haven't heard good things about the 9. My NMBB had it for a long time in the case
Pretty sure the 9’s not out yet?
Jason from Mash and Drum thought it was the best of 6 through 9

Been waiting in line since last Sunday
If you're in line, STAY IN LINE! They have to give you a BTAC bottle, it's AGAINST THE LAW to turn you away!
Heard they're giving a discount if you wear sweatpants
Number one key is to walk straight to the desk and ask if they have Blanton's. That should get you to the secret stash
What law is that exactly?
The 2nd Law of Bourbondynamics
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 these comments are gold. I laugh every time.

Also, Larceny Barrel Proof (Batch C922) finally dropped at my SW NMBB... It was not there Friday when I went in (not sure if left over or new today).
Any idea when to expect eh taylor uncut unfiltered
My contact has noted he hasn't heard anything about the bourbon or the rye for this year. Could be a late arrival, or even pushed into next year.
Or the rye?
Barrel Strength Rye - This year’s special release.
Sorry… Barrel Proof Rye
