The last two bottles I'd gotten there (with bottled on dates of my daughter's exact birth date, hence them being undrinkable for now!) were not private selections... weird. Also, the label mistakenly says it was bottled on 9-7-02... either innocent human error or I got hosed on some five month old bourbon, LOL!

That's quite a find. I've never seen 5-month-old EWSB before! :lol:

Weird that I see the previous post, when coming here for this post. 9/7 is my birthday.

Today I bought a 2008 OFBB that went into barrels on 9/6/95, so I'm treating it as MY birthday bourbon.

Purchased last week, arrived today: Parker's Heritage Collection 6th Edition (133.2-proof), Smooth Ambler Very Old Scout 14-Year, Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7-Year Rye, John J. Bowman Single Barrel and two bottles of W.L. Weller 12-Year.

Found me a Bourye out in the wild. For $45 it was a no brainer.

Finally grabbed a PHC '12 and also picked up an OGD 114

375 ml of Blantons last Friday. For some reason they have recently gotten those here at $21.90 per bottle while the 750 ml is $52-ish a bottle...go figure.

Nice find! It's good to see something in Virginia that isn't overpriced (compared to MD). I thought I was finished shopping for a while after stocking up on OGD BIB And ETL recently, but it looks like I'll be making another trip this weekend. :)

MOCO marked down EWSBs to 17.99 this week...plus my Bardstown $5 rebate makes it $12.99...feels too good to be true

That's not the Thanksgiving rebate, is it? I'm pretty sure those had to be used by the end of 2012, unfortunately.

Either way that's very good. There's no better time to hoard the EWSB 2002!

Already used my Thanksgiving rebate. This is a new membership rebate that has no expiration.
