What bourbon did you purchase today? Fall 2010

[CaptainQ]

Well, the season is upon us. Time to spend some cash. I added these this week.

I got a parcel yesterday with whisky for Yvonne and me. We both got JDSS, WT 8, EC 12, and Rittenhouse BIB. Then she got Beam 7/90 and I got uncut Blanton’s. This was the last 2 bottles of Rittenhouse that the shop owner had in stock and he clamed its impossible to get more.

Cowdery noted that a new batch is coming out in October here: http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/201...-bernheim.html

"They are now mashing rye one day a month, which is up from three or four days a year just a few years ago. Supplies are very tight right now but a batch of nearly 1,000 barrels will come of age in October, so it should be much easier to find after that."

Thanks Robert and I hope these whiskey will reach Europe soon after as well. Normally there is a quit big gap before the brands reach us.

Normally, I'm not a fan of the fall. The shorter days and colder weather are things I can live without. So, instead of just reminding myself that I've got football back, I figured I'd start this fall off on a better note with a few bottles of Weller 12.

I told myself I was done.. the boxes were packed.... and I HAD to stop in another store..

750/25.4 oz Old Overholt '82
liter/33.8 oz Old Overholt '85

Now to figure out where to put it.

I think I know somewhere in Indiana where it can be stored.

It is the same bottle that the Binnys Weller 12 was sold in, so I don't know how new it is. Perhaps this is the first time a general release of W12 was packaged this way.

It's certainly the same bottle that was used last year. (and perhaps the year before.)
