Was out doing a little shopping for a party we're having tomorrow. Stopped by the liquor department at the grocery store and bought a bottle of The Bourbon Of The Month, RR 10/90. Joe

Randy,

I agree that this is some good stuff.

Last week I bought one with 00 stamped into the bottom of the glass. I did a side-by-side comparison with a BHC VSOF, and I could hardly tell the difference, and the 1L bottle was only $23.99!

Great finds on the other stuff you picked up, too.

That is one dusty I always pick-up. I have a good case stashed. Excellent juice. I just bought 2 handles for $31.99.

Got the new FRSB 2009 edition.

Also picked up the BOTM (WTRR90) and a bottle of Tanqueray Rangpur Gin for my wife.

That would be the "Limited Edition Barrel Strength" right?

How long has it been on the shelves?

Right. Just showed up (in No. KY) in the last week or so. Price is $63.99 at Party Source.

Quick tasting notes:

This is unlike other FR expressions to date. Chuck called it "challenging"; I would say "assertive" --- but in a good way. The usual FR fruity / floral notes are less evident. Definitely nutiness, citrus and licorice with some oak present (but not predominating). Very long finish and nicely balanced.

Rutledge has done it again! I'm going to bunker several of these before they're gone.

ER 10 101, Ten High Ten, Weller SR Louisville all in past week.

Not bourbon, but rum - El Dorado 21 YO, Zaya Gran Reserva from when it was still made it Guatemela, and Ron Zacapa with the old style full wicker and a true 23 YO age statement.

Tequila - El Tesoro Blanco and Respoda with old style labels and bottles, pre Jim Beam purchase of the brand.

Gin - Tanqueray Malacca, a brand discontinued about 6 years ago.

The Zaya is great stuff.

Howdy All:

I hope you are doing great.

I am watching the Red Wings tonight and picked up a bottle of the Pappy's 23. I figure if I am just starting with Bourbon, why not have what folks say is one of the best and then as I continue to learn I can see what I feel of all the other tastes in comparison.

Best regards, tony

Congrats on the Pappy 23 year...I'm thinking that I might pick one up next time Binny's has a 15% off day...that would make it $186.95...or I could go with 2 15 Year and 3 Lot B's...decisions decisions.

Tony - Since I don't care who wins, go Red Wings. Since I do care about great bourbon, enjoy the Pappy 23 but it would not even crack my top 25.

I was almost able to decipher that. I think a few letters are giving me trouble :lol:

I have been into the Old Bardstown 10, and still can't keep my grubby meathooks out of that MV '41. I gotta move it into the locked closet- otherwise it'll be gone by Monday :skep:

With Pappy Van Winkle 15yr inventories starting to dwindle at the local Binny's I decided that I better pick up another bottle for the bunker. I also picked up a Four Roses Single Barrel as well from Binny's Barrel #2.

For my daughter's second birthday I bought myself a present...a bottle of EC12 and a bottle of Rock Hill Farms. I hate to admit it but I also bought a bottle of Jeramiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka...
