I must admit that I have been having an affair with a bottle of Buffalo Trace. She is a seductive bitch.

Where did you sell yours at, just out of curiosity?I just sold a bottle last week or so. It was from 2015 and 138.1 proof. I started the auction @ $425.00, it sold for $425 + $25 Shipping and insurance.

LOL did Facebook corner the secondary market for guys buying rare allocations from? Not much advertising has been done by it, cause this is literally the first time that I've been hearing about it. I've pretty much relied on craigslist and eBay for this type of stuff. Being 33 I sort of steered clear of the whole Facebook thing over the years, but if this is where its at for Bourbon or rare cigars, then I might have to reconsider.

Well I'm 56 and embraced a few small parts of Facebook. One is to keep in touch with family that is spread out all over the U.S.. Another is a couple of cigar groups that are strictly for sales. Now to quote @Jfire and @Tennessee Dave it had a lot to do with relationships, as most Cigar Groups won't let you sell liquor. But after selling over 10,000 cigars and buying quite a few. They let me slide and sell that bottle. I'm not a bourbon connoisseur this is more my style.
Edited In: P.S. Facebook has a few Bourbon etc groups that sell, but I am not a member of any of them.

A welcome change of pace indeed. Love Booker's, easily one of the most consistent Barrel Proof Bourbons that also happens to be readily available most places. I love their bottle marketing too, those little stickers always makes for an enjoying little read. That's a high proof for Booker's too.

Awesome, very well said sir!! Glad it worked out for you and I agree about Facebook and utilizing what helps you stay closer to family. I just created an account for my aunt who used it to get in touch with her niece in France, which is the only way she can communicate with her.Well I'm 56 and embraced a few small parts of Facebook.

So, I just went through this entire thread, took me a day & a half. I just found this thread, thank you Dave.
Be watching for me to post in here quite regularly like Mr. Tort. I just started on the bourbon hobby, and I am enjoying the hell out of it, and I have started a nice small collection as well. Cheers brothers.

FYI. This is good stuff. I'm not really familiar with wheaters. This is definitely more subtle. Not as much "obvious" flavor,etc. But again. Very nice pour. Worth what I paid for it. I would not pay the inflated price for it. But at or around retail I think it's a good buy. Excited for another glass tonight!First ever Weller 12. Here we go.

Here are the two glasses I am thinking about getting. I do not care for the Glencarin's they are too small, and I have to tilt my head way back to drink, very uncomfortable when having a conversation.

Anyone have any reviews on these?
I have thought about the Norlan (Norman
)glass, but I just think they are way over priced, and with these 2 I get 6 glasses for about the same price as the Norman's.I follow It's Bourbon night on YT, and I've noticed that they use the 1st glass I linked quite a bit.
You might like them @BourbonBinder they blind review bourbons, and only Ky bourbon.
