    Tried this Starlight at the store where it seemed ok, not bad for $35 but trying it at home it doesn't have much of a finish.

    I have the double oaked starlight. I cant stand it. It got bundled with a barrel strength four Rose's single barrel. It's a damn near a drain pour for me.

    Scored this at Sam’s club today. The manager came and asked if I worked at Sam’s and I said no. He said ok. Employees apparently weren’t allowed to buy it. Anyway it was $29.98.

    Nice score at $30. I have never seen it that cheep in Texas. Usually $55 a bottle for Small
    Batch.

    That’s an amazing price to me… our sin tax in Oregon is so high that bottle would cost me $50-$60…

    Finally found one of the 2 new releases, it's really good with a fair amount of spice!

    Needed to add a cheap shelf. Wish I would have built the wall shelves put twice as deep.

    Poured a cheap but good one to celebrate Thursday.

    I waited outside for 25 hours to be near the front of the line at the Austin bourbon drop. I’m very happy with all my bottles from today! Most of these are store picks too! The first person in line got an Old Rip and Old Fitzgerald. This was a fun experience and I meet a lot of great people while waiting. They had a full pallet of Stagg Jr, Weller Full Proof, Russell’s Reserve single barrel store picks! Some guys were lucky enough to get some Stagg Jr at 144.2 proof! Mine is 137.9

    So, when they do a bourbon drop, are you allowed to buy whatever you want as long as they haven't run out already? any limit on quantities? and are they setting price points at 'market value', MSRP, or whatever the store feels like charging???

    ....just trying to get a feel for what other states are doin' :thumbsup:

    Same questions lol.
    I saw people camping out in Houston on Thursday. Can you tell me the true prices you paid for them? Just wanting to see if it’s worth it. It truly looked like high school girls waiting in line for a fan boy concert. I have never seen anything like it. The line went on for blocks and they estimated over 1200 people in line.

    They sold everything at retail prices. This is the second year they have done this. They have all the bottles lined up on different sections. Some things you are only allowed to pick one of the bottles. Other stations you can choose all of the bottles on the table. You could only pick one from the Weller bottle of Single barrel or full proof. They only had 18 bottle of the single barrel and probably over 100 of full proof. They had over 300 of stagg Jr. They had over 6,500 bottles of harder to get bottles of bourbon for this drop.

    Yikes.... I have to say waiting in line over night for Bourbon drop is definitely better than standing in line at Best Buy for $100 TV on black friday and plenty of people do that :thumbsup:

    It was a cool experience for sure. So many bourbon fans with some very generous bottles to share. Several Wellers, BTAC and store picks that people shared. So that was half of the fun hanging out and talking to other Bourbon enthusiasts.

    My local people offered this to me for 150 vs shelf price of 250 so I grabbed it. It's really great on the nose and palate but the finish kind of takes an odd turn so I am not in love with this as much as say Weller 12 or even John J Bowman, they are consistent all the way through.
