What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? - Fall 2012

Picked up 3 Vintage 17 wheaters for $65 each, as these seem to be disappearing. Assuming I don't end up with any Pappy, this should satisfy my jonesing for aged wheaters, at a decent price, and right on the shelf.

Picked up 2 1L bottles of Old Taylor (unfortunately 80 proof) with a 86259 UPC. These appear to be bottles from 1992. Wish these were 86 proof, but maybe they'll still be good.

I picked up a 750 mL of Old Taylor from 1991 a couple weeks ago and was very pleased despite the low proof. It cost me only $5. I haven't had an 86 proofer to compare it to, but I was quite pleased, the maple syrup character of the ND juice really comes through for me. I went back and bought a couple 1.75L ($10 each). Be curious to hear what you think.

One bottle each of 4RsmB LE and 4RsB LE.

1x GT Stagg 2007 @ 144.8 pr
1x GT Stagg 2008 @ 141.8 pr
1x JPS-17 batch 7
1x FRSmB LE 2012

I haven't tried Stagg earlier than 2009. I got these for a good price - anyone know how these stand up to current years?

I told you so. I told you so.

(sigh) You and many others . . . and you were all correct
Although, I am quite proud of myself, as I passed on several bottles that I would have otherwise purchased (including a lone 2012 Handy - first time I've EVER seen any BTAC sitting on a shelf).

Went to a couple stores in the Indy area yesterday that I had not stopped at before.

Found one lonely bottle of WTKS, smooth dark top, bottled in '03.

Just bought my first BIBs...Old Heaven Hill and Very Old Barton. Both of these knock the socks off Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve. Wow!

Well, I've got a lot to learn. Seems every time I tasted these two, they are different. Mostly good, but sometimes kinda bad. Never as good as the first taste. And every time I taste the Knob Creek, it's good. Hmmmm....
