finally got my hands on a bottle of WT 8yr tax stamp... cost a pretty penny... but thank god for ebay when you "need" a bottle - much love for the turkey

[quote=Luna56;152530]Nothing special here, grabbed a bottle of EC12 tonight.(Cork was in good shape, funknik! )
The EC12 is not the best I've had but is still very nice. Think I'll wade through the snow for another!

Glad to hear your cork is well! Keep Trudgin'!

I agree 100%, eBay has helped me out many many times.

Picked up a bottle of Dickel #12 (dusty) and I like it better than the Select at twice the price. Go figure.... bb

Did some last minute Xmas shopping: got a 2008 THH as a present for a good friend and a PVW 15 as a present for me (even though I've been naughty).

Picked up another ORVW 10/107 last night.

finally, after getting that stupendous Handy SAZ a few days ago (1/3 gone already... ), i figured it was time to stock up and try a few basics i'd never had and planned on (after various reviews here):

McAfee's Benchmark
JB Rye ($10.99 in no tax DE!)
Sam Adams Winter Brew
and a big bottle of Angelique belgian dubbel

Russell's Reserve Small Batch Bourbon, current iteration. This one seems rather more in line with WT 101 than the first bottles, which wowed some and dismayed others with their subtle interpretation of the manic bird. It's a solid bourbon full of all the good stuff one associates with Wild Turkey, at the 90 proof it's been for some time. Well-priced too for the quality offered.

While visiting mom & other family in Memphis, I found a PVW 15 'left' of $50 (most of what I have seen of late is approaching $60)......wish there had been more than one on the shelf.

Also, if anyone is in the Memphis area and wants a deal on KC - saw it for $19.99/750ml today, just send me a PM and I'll give you the name/address of the place. I have not seen KC for less than $28 in quite a while.

New to this forum and obviously in a steep learning curve. Picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace and George Dickel #12. I have purchased much more expensive bourbons over the past year and did not think they were worth the extra money. I will try these over the long weekend and see what I think.
