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

[ChainWhip]

Picked up my bottles from my gracious brother today:

[portwood]

A small number (a case of each?) of Sazerac 18 ($101) and THH ($100)* became available for online ordering through LCBO vintages a couple of days ago. I managed to snag two of the THH before both disappeared about an hour later. I would have preferred the Saz ... but, they were gone by the time I found out.

The description says 63%. My search of previous releases didn't turn up any 126 proof bottles, so, I have no clue which ones will be delivered. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my first taste of BTAC.

*don't laugh at the price, we're gouged on everything up here. For reference BT is $40, WLW12 is $45, ORVW10 is $74 ($60 last yr), VW lot B is $91 ($72 last yr)

Not laughing at the price at all, that is really not much more than the prices I've seen down here in the States for the latest release. I'm actually pretty surprised that ON is so much cheaper than BC. I have run into BTAC at BC Liquor Stores in the lower mainland the last couple of years, and they were all priced at $175.

I just went to the downtown Spec's in Houston today and it just really pisses me off how badly things suck back at home in Washington state.

Picked up TPS private selections of OWA 107, 7yr Old Scout, and a John J Bowman #45.

Also grabbed Nikka Yoichi 15 yr single malt and Oak Cross and Balvenie Double Doublewood minis.

Got a bottle of E.H. Taylor Small batch in Pa. today!

That Bowman 45 must be the never ending barrel. They've had it for months! It's certainly excellent bourbon, just can't believe they still have it.

[MyOldKyDram]

Still almost 60 bottles according to their website.

I have to believe its because it was cut to 100 proof. If it was barrel proof, it would have sold out in a couple hours. But you already knew that..

i got a FRSMB LE2011, and a FRSB private selection barrel proof. been liking a lot of the FR stuff, so it was nice to find some of their more limited availability bourbons
