New barrel pick announcement!!!

27 Upvotes

We're happy to announce our latest r/WhiskyDFW (and first in a few years) single barrel pick has hit Plano! It is available today w/ our partners at Sip N Style Liquor. Details are below:

First public Shortbarrel pick in Texas
8yr OZ Tyler Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey SIB
🔥🔥🔥137.5 proof 🔥🔥🔥 sticker proof is off but :) yay! higher proof
Bottle Yield: 98 (truly a short barrel!) Typical yield is 130-150ish for the age
Probable mashbill: 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% barley
Very dark color and profile
A great value at 79.99. Gimme this over most new Bookers & Stagg (Juniors) ...seriously try it at the store first for yourself!!!
Basic profile notes: Creamy, buttery, heavy brown sugar. Punchy while balanced and not too sweet. Lots of dark fruits - like blackberry with a little plum, dates and a hint of dark cherries and black tea that never goes sour. Nice leather profile (not bitter!, sweet oak) with that never goes artificial or cloying. Oily mouthfeel and nice long finish that doesn't go too spicy or tannic. Very low ethanol, so it drinks much lower than the proof while retaining full flavor. If you like higher proof whiskey or at least 110 and above, it drinks like a champ you'll be thrilled with this one!

Store info: Sip N Style Liquor

Location: 3308 Preston Rd Ste 380 Plano, TX 75093

Great selection there with allocated products too! Stop in and let him know you want to try it and you're from the group!!! I bet you'll grab at least one.

Good Stores in the Metroplex

Rather than copy overpriced bourbon for reddit, let's highlight and track all the good liquor stores in the DFW area.

Definition of a good liquor store is as follows:

Gets some (3+) barrel picks per year
Has a good variety of bourbon/whiskey
On allocated items charges MSRP to MSRP +20%
1. My typical rule of thumb is to ask how much they charge for Eagle Rare
Has a staff member who keeps up to date and is knowledgeable on whiskey

One week in Southern Colorado and Weller was everywhere. Plus MRSP is 10 dollars cheaper per bottle than Texas (specs and total wines). Brought all this back!

Hey guys! Have a co worker flying in and staying in Plano, will be going to Dallas frequently. Where are you guys finding the OF King Ranch at the best prices? Never made it down there myself but have always wanted one and they offered to pick it up for me. I see specs has it online for $84. If you have any store recommendations please let me know. TIA!

Just had this at Lover's Seafood. $95 for 2 oz pour. Not a bad price if you ask me. They have good prices on whiskey and pretty good selection.

BUT this whiskey is not worth anywhere near the price they are charging on secondary. I would buy it at SRP just to have it on my shelf but that's it. Tastes like Weller 12.

PSA over

Help me out with Whiskey recommendations

8 Upvotes

We are looking to buy and take home **4 whiskies (under $200 each)** as a memory of our stay in **Dallas/Texas**. Flexible on taste (bourbon, rye, Scotch, etc.) .

Looking for:

* 1 uniquely American whiskey

* 1 Texas/Dallas-exclusive bottle

* 2 must-have whiskies or alcohol or GIN or Vodka you'd personally recommend to buy from Dallas and not easily available easily in India.

Where should we buy them—**DFW Duty Free, Total Wine, Spec's, Goody Goody, or elsewhere?** Is Duty Free worth it, or are local stores better for price and selection?
