What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Spring 2009

[tommyboy38]

I haven't picked up a bottle in two days and it's killing me. I may have a chance for a small hunt this afternoon.

Picked up an old-school (white/gray label, dated 2000) 1L bottle of Weller 12yo for a decent price. Will probably try it tonight.

Jealous, very jealous!

A couple of BTAC WLW '08s that were on sale for some strange reason.

Call in the men in black because these are aliens running this liquor store. :slappin:

I love these Saturday FedEx deliveries.

I just got an Old Taylor BIB, distilled Fall 1969 at DSP KY 19, bottled Spring 1978 at DSP KY 14.

Tony brought one over a couple of weeks ago and I really liked it so I had to get one.

Well, I know what the strange reason is, actually. They were closing out the '07s at that price, and, after selling those out, replaced them with the current version without changing the price.

I suppose they don't pay much attention to "vintages," which is fine by me as long as I get to reap the benefits.

Oscar....you lucky duck. I love that stuff. I have one bottle left in the bunker which makes me sad. That old Castle whiskey has an antique quality to it that I really like.

As a result of trades with a couple of other members, I added some WTRR 101 and an Old Fitz BIB to the bunker. Thanks guys. You're part of the reason I'm glad to be a member here. Hat's off to you and all the great folks here. Joe

[B3Nut]

Through a trade with a kind member I got a handle of Old Forester BIB from the early 90's. I couldn't resist a little teeny 1/2 oz taste...oooooooo! Thanks so much, this is some good, solid bourbon.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is being closed out here in PA for <22, so I picked one up today.

Yes just one. I'll add more, but I have to spread things out if I wish to continue waking up each morning alive.

[OscarV]

As much as I have been railing against the recent Wild Turkey releases as being to young, at 22 bucks I'd be buying up those Rare Breeds.

Amen!!! If I can find 'em for around $30 I usually snag a couple.

I snagged one yesterday and I'm considering getting one or two more. Seems like some great stuff.

With many of my favorite stores getting picked over by lurkers, et al, I decided to pick up some of my oldies but goodies today. So today I made my first bourbon purchases since the Sampler in Bardstown.

I really think the original Weller 12yo is underappreciated as a fine bourbon and collectable/tradeable. Its different from the current version in that it contained some SW in it. Anyway, I bought a handle for $39.99 and a couple of 750's for $21. I also grabbed a Tribute for $89. A WT KS in a box from '96. Passed on some Hirsch 16 GF for $85. Also passed on numerous BHC's like the Old Charter and the I W Harper.

Randy,

Nice pic's and nice passes (except the HGF). I really like the Old Charter and Harper.

[CajunKY]

Picked up a bottle of the Four Roses Barrel Strength 2009 Special Edition.

Not really a purchase on my part, but I did some PC setup and install work for a home machine for one of our mainframe programmers, and this morning I came into the office to find a package on my desk with a thank-you on it. Tore off the paper revealing a dark green box...Blantons! :bigeyes: I've never had it before...talk about having a great start to one's day! Darn...all these shot glasses from coworkers' trips and we can't drink booze in the office...

Actually, I don't know when I'm going to open this one...thanks Pat & Cindy! (mainframe programmer and better half)

[tommyboy38]

A bottle of JW Dant BIB and some Cabin Still just because I rarely see them around here. I'm jealous of the Texans finding the old Weller 12 bottlings and BHC's. I've been hunting high and low and haven't seen but one BHC Old Charter but that was $50 and I passed. I may be planning a hunting trip to Texas!!

[Single-Barrel]

Well today I had to replenish my stock with a bottle of EWVSB 1997. Barrel # 588 barreled 7-14-97 and bottled on 7-16-07. I was surprised that the liquor store still had a 07 bottling on the shelf. It was covered in dust:rolleyes: so it better be good!! The bottle that I finished was a 1999 vintage which was very pleasant. So I guess I will have to take the task on of trying this one. Man the things I will do for research.:grin:

Another EC12 found it's way into the bunker last night. 20% off...I couldn't walk by.
