What Bourbon Did You Purchase today? - Summer 2012

It's OBSV Will...did you notice that Al Young signed the back of the bottle for you!

I saw that. Which immediately begged the question -- who the eff is Al Young?

Al Young helps with their private barrel purchases...surprising to some but Jim R isn't there for every tasting...same as Rob Hutchins for HH.

I gotta tell ya...I haven't been party to a 4R barrel purchase, yet. So, I can't speak of AY v JR. But, if you pick a HH barrel, Rob Hutchins is a freakin' blast! Our group had an absolutely great time with Rob. He's top-notch knowledgeable, and better yet, a heck of a lot of fun.

Picked up 3 x High West 16yr Rye (375ml) today.

Added by edit:
Should have added it to the rye thread.

The local VA ABC here in Virginia had WT Tradition for $85 closeout. Don't know what it usually goes for but I picked up 3 bottles

Agreed about Hutchins. A super guy to work with and loads of fun. Must have skipped the humorectomy that so many in the biz seem to have had.

Picked up another AAA 10yr. I just can't pass it up when I see it.
