I picked up a bottle of Parker's Heritage $90...if it would have been a little cheaper, I would have cleared them out.
Picked up another standard 4RSB. A certain barrel of this has been outstanding, so I have six of them now. To me, the best bottle available under $50, and better than many that cost more.
Pulled the trigger on a BMH 16yr I've been eyeing. I figured it would probably be the only bottle of it I'll see on a shelf. Looking forward to it. An A's win tonight might give me a good reason to open it. (like I need one)
Also grabbed a local bottling of EC12 and a VSOF.
That Baker's is good stuff. It's from the first batch distilled in '85, bottled in '92. I found a bottle of it last year and really enjoyed it - much creamier than any of the more recent Baker's I've tasted. Be careful with the cork, though; mine didn't have a chance and I ended up having to decant the bottle through a coffee filter. You may not be able to avoid the same fate, but at least you'll be prepared!

Went for a bottle of Angel's Envy today, I know some do like it and some do not, so I figured I should give it a shot and see if I have an opinion.
Best regards, Tony
I grabbed a PHC 2012 (Thanks Joe) and a EC 20 (Thanks Sam) while in Atlanta. Today I swung by and picked up a Blantons, JDSB, Evan Williams Egg Nog, and some pumpkin pie cream liqueur.
Don't judge me.
