This sell for $35 here and many pay the money thinking it's well worth it. I picked up a couple cheap ones...four roses sb, and Corner Creek Reserve. And seen bookers and had to get that too.

Snagged a bottle of phc cognac finish! Also picked up a BT experimental cask 91.


Any tips on finding a dated maple hill?

Phone number? Not sure what you mean.

I did post this in Dusty Finds earlier, but I thought it was worth mentioning here as well :grin:

Found a bottle of the 2011 Stagg to add to the stockpile.

I really didn't think I'd like it nearly as much as I did, but the more time I spend without it, the more I crave it...

Also picked up an ER17... I know this bourbon gets very little love in these parts, but I find it to be a smooth, spicy, comforting pour the likes of which I've not found elsewhere. I wish it was in the $60-$65 range, but I returned some birthday gifts for cash, and sipping it now I don't feel too bad about the $75 I put up for it.

I like ER17 and also paid $75 for a few bottles each. To each his own, don't let old timer opinions change your tastes.

Technology in the hands of a dolt is a dangerous thing...I'm guilty. :rolleyes:

My most sincere apologies SNC. I see what I did. My I-Phone (where I originally read your post) apparently takes sequences of numbers and highlights them. When you click on the highlighted numbers, it automatically turns it into a phone number with a prompt to "call". I clicked on the highlighted dates you have in your post, and up popped a phone number. Further doltism :) on my part didn't even recognize that the "phone number" was just the dates....I thought you were openly looking to sell your bottle with this.

I am an idiot. Yes, there will be a goat at the GBS get-together next Saturday, and his name is Joe.

Again, please accept my apologies. Me go back under rock, now...

:lol: no worries Joe

Picked up three bottles last night: Eagle Rare, Elmer T. Lee, and Wild Turkey 101. ...Keeping things simple.

Picked up a GTS, a PHC barrel finished, plus another bottle of Midleton Irish for the bunker.

That's what you get for trying to use that newfangled technology, Joe!
