Same, I've never had a problem finding 1920. I've seen the labels on etsy too. Can't find one for the Poor Man's Four Grain anymore though. All I see is Poor Man's Pappy.

Man, I've missed out on 3 lotteries this week and several in-store drops. Anyone having better luck than me in their area?

Seems like the allocated deliveries are happening over town.

I was able to find a MM SAE-02 though, as a silver lining.

It's been dry this holiday season by me. Was able to grab a MWND yesterday but missed out on a Stagg Jr today. Missed out on them all year, but I have scooped up a couple JM Cigar blends.

nice on the MWND! I've heard good things of the cigar blend for sure...never seen one in the wild.

I'm not a fan. Tried a sample before cracking and wound up selling them.

Literally on a zoom after watching a tasting and JM Cigar Blend came up and we are all saying it doesn't live up to the hype - at all!

sidewaysscott, see if you can't find a local bar that serves it to try it. Most bottles don't justify their secondary prices. I did this recently where I was able to sample EHT BP, Rock Hill Farm, Weller SiB, Weller CYPB, Old Fitz 13-year, and Thomas Handy and the only bottle I could see myself paying secondary for would be the EHT BP as it was absolutely delicious! RHF was good and I'd be willing to pay $200-$250 for it but not $300-$350. Weller SiB was a disappointment. Secondary is $900 and it's 97 proof. It's good and easy to sip, but it doesn't justify it's price at all! CYPB was good but again, underwhelmed. Old Fitz 13 surprisingly was my least favorite of the bunch. Too oaky and spicy which is a shame as HH is my favorite distillery. The Handy was good and I would love a bottle at retail but again, not worth the secondary price and it wasn't that far off from the Baby Saz.

Thank you sir. A day I won't soon forget!

Poor Man's Pappy: 60% OWA, 40% Weller 12, and 30 days. Tried a sample from a friend a few months back and now that I grabbed a backup bottle of the 12 yesterday, finally able to make my own batch.

I recently purchased two bottles of the caribou...pretty good, but too light for me. Drank a bottle pretty quick and have one left.
