Re: What bourbon did you purchase today? - Winter 2012/2013
Well, yesterday, but couldn't post before account was activated:
OWA 107
Weller 12
Weller SR
EWSB 2011 (we notate with the year it was bottled, correct?)
George Dickel #12 (which appears to have been a major error on my part, based on first taste last night)
4R Yellow Label
Ordered the EWSB 2012 from another store

Nice pick up with the Wellers. As to the EWSB, I reference it by the year it was barreled, so the EWSB would be a 2001 to me.

I bought a PVW23 today for no other reason than I saw it on a shelf. Such a weird site that I fell for it. I paid a few $ more than I wanted to but it wasn't bad enough to call it price gouging I don't guess. I used to have my pick from the A, B, or C releases if I wanted one. Those days are gone and I'm not sure I will see too many more of these going forward.
I've certainly done worse things before.

I expect the same. This will be my first taste, so if it goes well I'll probably head back and buy another bottle. I was kind of shocked to see it, they were actually out of a lot of stuff due to the holiday season, and there were 4 bottles just sitting there looking all lonely...

Been eying an OFBB 2012 and finally broke down and snagged 1 of 2 bottles on the shelf. Saw the other one walk off with a another fellow a little later.

I got the email 1 minute after the pipeline opened from TPS. All I wanted was a rye. However, once I got into the site, it was gone. I could have gotten 1 of the others but decided to keep hunting down a PHC '12 instead.
No luck as of yet on the PHC but did get a break when I found a WLW '12 still waiting for me at a local.

Just "found myself" at Total Wine, and with a store credit in hand, obviously had to buy some bourbon. They were out of some of my stalwarts like ETL, and I am well stocked with some of my other stalwarts like OWA and ERSB, so I used the opportunity to pick up a Makers 46. I've passed it up many times, but it is time to give it a shot.

Based on all the positive word of mouth, I picked up a fifth of Larceny. After the $10 mail-in rebate, it's just 15 bucks.
