What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Spring 2009

I had to drive clear down to Houston to get it, but I picked up an Old Forester BIB 1.75 from 1983 that I left in Korea town a year ago. I got lucky and it was still there. This stuff is so good and much older than the 4 years stated.

Seriously considering Parker.

A liter bottle of Old Fitzgerald BIB 1993 was waiting on my doorstep when I got home from lunch today.

If that's the one I think it is (from USA Liquor #2), I've told a few SB members about it, and I'm glad that someone finally picked it up. There was also a tax-stripped handle of Old Charter next to it on the shelf.

The girls at the office went to lunch and returned with a bottle of Old Forester Signature for me. Five o'clock is gonna come early today.

Don,

That's an awesome find. I have some of that older OFBIB and think it's really terrific stuff.

Restock time for the bunker. Picked up two 750's of Weller SR, and two 1.75's of Weller SR. Joe

Yes sir, that's the one. I bought one a year ago and the one I left behind has been in the back of my mind since. I live near Dallas and work in Houston occasionally and my motel was less than a mile from there, so I can sleep better at night now knowing it's safe at home.

And the tax strip Old Charter was tempting, but I could go get 10 cases of the same bottles from the 70's in Dallas. It's everywhere up there.

I wanted to get an Old Grand-Dad 114 today but the store was out.
So I got an OGD BIB and an Old Forester Signature.

[squire]

Same here Oscar, the girls brought me a bottle of Forester Signature during lunch and I made a short walk a few minutes ago to get a bottle of Grand Dad BIB.
