What bourbon did you purchase today? - Winter 2012/2013

On my way back from the Angel's Envy event I picked up a 2x OYO bourbon, New Holland Beer Barreled Bourbon, Basil Hayden (wanted to make sure I had an 8 year bottle to compare to the new "artfully aged" bottles), another bottle of Watershed bourbon, plus a few other bottles of liquor and mixers that no one cares about. The OYO and Watershed are made here in Ohio and I like supporting local businesses. I already owned a bottle of Watershed, and while I am not overly impressed with it, I like being able to serve friends and family something from our home state. I have yet to open up the OYO, but I haven't heard a lot of good things about it so my hopes aren't real high.

Picked my girlfriend up a handle of Heaven Hill Old Style white label. She likes to sip it neat, she's a badass :cool:

Just got a Call from a Local NJ shop(Name on List). Pappy is in. 10yr $60 and 20yr $220...Sorry to say I will pass.
Going to order W. L. Weller 12. Let see what 2014 fairs with Pappy.

2:45pm - just ordered from Binny's (5) W. L. Weller 12...Told him about the Prices for Pappy in NJ...He laughed.
Since Pappy is get more Press Store owners are charging what the Demand is.

Those prices are absurd. How are they just getting them in though? Must be a distributor thing or returns?

4 X (750 mL) OFBB 2005
1 X (750 mL) Old Charter 10 (the current product seems to be 8 yo). This was the only bottle of this age statement on the shelf.

Purchased a 2012 Old Forrestor Birthday Bourbon. My son was born in 2000 so I have been buying up bottles from this year!

Found an E.H. Taylor Old Fashioned Sour Mash (the first Taylor release) and bought it since it was the only Taylor release I haven't tried (well, I guess I haven't tried the small batch either, but I'll get around on that one). Liquor store moved locations and found some stuff in the back. I'm really bummed however, they had a bottle of the High West 16 year rye, I put it in my cart, but after further examination, it clearly had laid on it's side to long, the whiskey was evident in the cork and on the seal and the fill level was low compared to the other HW bottles.

Nice find! Too bad about the HW16. Was that local or are you back on the road?

Back out on the road this week. Not too far outside of town, but a bit of a haul.

ORVW 10 107 and a CEHT SmB,I really look forward to trying the SmB and am hoping to find some value in the line,well at least one that fits into it's pricing realm that is.
