What bourbon did you purchase today? - Winter 2012/2013

Is that to drown your sorrows with? GO PACK!

Actually, I made it a point to get a barrel strength bourbon to make sure that it lasts all three games. Go Niners!

Bottle of Jefferson's and a couple half bottles (375ml) of Makers Mark and Knob Creek.

Picked up a bottle of EWSB 2002 in hopes of having it to compare to the 2003 soon. Also got a a new Willett 4yo 120.2 proof bourbon with a copper top on the recommendation of a bartender friend and Ritt rye at $17.99 which I thought was a pretty good price as it had drifted over $20 of late at most store.

Also picked up a fresh bottle of Averna for mixing my Winter Waltz cocktail.

EWSB 2001, to go with my 95, 96, 97, 98 and 2000. Some day I'm going to open them all up and compare.

That does sound odd, but I haven't been keeping up with the more recent bottles. I'll have to check the shelves around here. 11yo EWSB sounds good. You should pick one up and give it a try.

Oops, I forgot to mention in my post that I did, in fact, pick up a bottle. Last night I did a little side by side with EWSB 2002. While the 2002 is thinner, lighter, crisper, with its sweetness coming off as citrus, the 2001 I have is much heavier, thicker, and full of maple syrup and caramel. Sadly, I don't have a 2001 bottled in 2011 to compare it to.

Just walked by Binnys and decided to stop in...picked up the following: Willett 4 Year Bourbon ( $39.99 ), Weller 12 year ( $27.00 ) and Angels Envy Binnys blend ( $44 ). Managed to get it home and into the bunker before my wife woke up...therefore...it didn't happen and those bottles have "always" been in that cupboard.

Well done! I brought home a couple bottles last night and quietly placed one in the cupboard and one in the bunker. "New bottles? What new bottles?"

Women don't understand the concept of replacement supply. I just tell 'em I had to buy it because the price is going up so we actually saved money.

Sorry if posting pictures is a no-no (don't see it too much), and if it is I won't do it going forward... but I just took delivery of a bottle each of Woodford Reserve and Larceny, both new to me:
