I found this old SB.com weblink from 2001 that shares some info on your Classic Cask purchase. Very very interesting. I think you made one helluva purchase

I would like to suggest that you post your find in its own thread in the General Discussion forum or the Special Bottling forum. I think it would be an interesting discussion.

I can say as much as i've learned over the past 6 months on SB, that is a very interesting link to follow. Can only imagine a few years back when Bourbon wasn't popular how much re-branding and selling of casks went on. Great find.

Bought an Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2003 today. This particular bottle was barreled on 9-8-03, is from barrel #21 and was bottled on 12-12-12. Will crack it open when I get home later tonight.

No Bourbon but have been stocking the bar. The girl likes cocktails so I've been laying in supplies. Never thought I'd be buying anything with Pucker on the label.

Ahh, come on. At least half of my alcohol purchases have been for the ladies one way or another :)
I bet Pucker is cheaper than the flavored Ciroc stuff I've had to buy.

John J. Bowman Single Barrel, W.L. Weller 12, Black Maple Hill (for under $30, why not?) and Vintage Rye 21 (purchased last week, arrived today). The latter exhausted the money I won in my fantasy football league. I bought my wife and son each a gift and then spent the rest on what's pictured below:

Awesome find, I have been hunting that bottle for quite a while..
Re: What bourbon did you purchase today? - Winter 2012/2013
Bowman 147.5 17 year. First Bowman for me. Hope it is a good one. Looks like this one is generally thought of less favorably than the 18 year old bottles.
