What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? - Winter 2011/2012

They aren't very good if it's current production stuff...even at that price. YMMV though.

I knew the next place we were going had OWA for $5 more, and I KNOW I like it, so I held out. Also bought some Apple Pie flavored Moonshine, going to get into that this weekend.

Just picked up my first OWA, continuing on in my $15-20 price-range testing.

Is that the Ole Smoky brand? My wife is crazy for that stuff.

I think it's a different brand...fairly new to the market as I recall. I might get curious and unscrew it tonight.

Please don't. I'll have to try it Saturday night and I really don't want to.

I am quite sure that I won't drink it all by Saturday.

I don't like paying $79 for 10-year old bourbon, but my first bottle of PHC cognac went so fast (and they're seemingly disappearing off of shelves quicker than the wheater did) that I couldn't help but pick up another one today. I really didn't think I'd like it nearly as much as I did, but the more time I spend without it, the more I crave it...

Also picked up an ER17... I know this bourbon gets very little love in these parts, but I find it to be a smooth, spicy, comforting pour the likes of which I've not found elsewhere. I wish it was in the $60-$65 range, but I returned some birthday gifts for cash, and sipping it now I don't feel too bad about the $75 I put up for it.

I really like the OWA. It's so smooth and a great price.

Today I picked up a few Rittenhouse BIB. They're hard to find around here.

I also saw some '80s Old Foresters on the shelf but left them.

If it's BIB, do not pass go, do not collect $200, go immediately back to the store and buy at least one.

If it's DSP-414, buy them all.

I have some OFBIB from the 70's that is in the top 5 whiskeys I have ever had.

Got some EWSB2k

Aaron, I also quite like the ER17, and I echo all praise on the OWA, for $20, that stuff is killer!
