What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Summer 2009

[jburlowski]

I just found out about that specific tasting last Thursday and it was long since sold out! :smiley_acbt: We thought about going anyways to see if there were maybe some empty slots, if somebody couldn't make it or something but we just decided to go on Sunday and keep an eye on their schedule.

So how did it go? Taste anything that really impressed you?

Yeah, we got an advance tasting of the PHC 50th Anniversary bottling that's coming out later this year. They also included the PHC 2008 27 yo.

The fourth quarter schedule is coming out in a week or two. Jay (the spirits guy at PS) says they are trying to line up a tasting with Parker Beam. They'd be some great stories there!

Keep us posted on that.

Hopefully it will be on a Saturday.

Their spirits tastings are typically on Saturday nights.

The mail carrier brought me a small package today. In it was a 200 ml, 1981 ER 101 from Lawrenceburg. :grin: Joe

Bit the bullet and splurged on some PVW 20 for the bunker.

Well I have been pretty well behaved this summer and instead of buying many new bottles, I spent some quality time with a bunch of open bottles that I already had on hand.

Well now my open bottle selection is looking a little poor so I stopped by The Keg in Clarksville today and looked around for a bit before deciding on the Willett Family Pot Still Reserve.

nothing too fancy, but it was payday so I rolled home with:

Knob Creek, Old Fitz BiB and Eagle Rare 10/90.

I gotta keep the basics in my bar.

I am also out of WT101, WTRR90(101 if I can find it!), MM(which I have replaced lovingly w/ OWA107 maybe forever...), Dickel#12 & BT, which I also usually keep as standards.

Tomorrow I will hopefully pick up some OGD114, I am still virgin to the 114 version and am dying to experience the "burnt brownie"...

and I am very curious to try the Beam Distiller sries 7yr 90roof @ $19.99+tax

(might it be a better pour than the Knob..?

Is it the same mash as white/black/Knob?)

Cheers!

BTW: for the buck; I have not found a better pour than Old Fitz BiB @ $14.99+tax.

(any suggestions to top it?)

Blantons Special Reserve was on special, $9 less than normal, at my local so i bought 2 of them. :grin:

Yesterday I found a FR1B for $29.99, which is the cheapest I've seen it since they started selling it here in Texas, so I picked it up. He only had one on the shelf, so I asked him if he got a whole case or what, and he said the distributor guy only put one on the shelf as a 'trial', and maybe that's why the price was a little lower. In the few other places I've seen it, it was not less than $35.

Today I was passing by a familiar store with a pile of dusty small bottles behind the counter, impossible to try and look at and they won't let me look through them, but they occasionally sort through and put some on the shelf. Since the last time I was there, they had put an 8yo OGD 86 200ml out. It wasn't exactly cheap ($4.69), but the little thing looked scared and lonely so I rescued it.

Picked up my 3 Bottles of Binny's Weller 12 today at lunch thanks to Scott.

Will be opening one tonight.

[Special Reserve]

Not exactly a purchase, I got 2 bottles of Lot B for found golf balls. I'm happy.

[birdman1099]

Black Maple Hill 23 Rye for me.... already cracked 'er open..... AAAAaaaahhhhhhh:cool:

[jburlowski]

Stopped for some toothpaste... also got a ORVW 107 10 yo.

Picked up some Sam Houston, Rock Hill Farms and Elijah Craig. Tried the Sam Houston and like it a lot.

Picked up four original bottles of Gentleman Jack (17.99), a bottle of EWSB 1993 (29.99), and a bottle of RR 10/90 (24.99). They had a lot of old WT there...101 and Rare Breed specifically...the RB said WT-01-99 on the neck...does that mean that it was bottled in 99? The also had some that said WT-03-03 so I'm guess that is the case...does anyone know? I'm going to keep searching for the ellusive ER 10/101...that's a bottle that I really want but haven't been able to find.

[jburlowski]

Another ORVW 107 becasue it was there, and so was I, and you can't have too many.

[ggilbertva]

Received via post were two Julio's FRSB.

[plaid_emu]

Made another run to The Party Source again. I'm so grateful to live only an hour away from Kentucky.

• Four Roses Single Barrel

• Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel

• Old Grand Dad 114

• W.L. Weller Antique 107

• Fighting Cock

• Old Fitzgerald BIB (1 Liters were on sale for $14.99!!!)

• Rittenhouse Rye BIB

A few of these were doubles of the ones I bought Sunday. I wanted to have some backups (especially Party Source's FRSB bottling).

[capitals83]

Earlier this week I bought the last two bottles of EW BIB at my local store. Today I decided to pick up two bottles of Fighting Cock since it is on sale. Both of these have become my favourites in recent months. And I learned my lesson from when EW 1783 lost its age statement, you can never have too many of your favourites on hand in case they change or disappear all together.

I'm not sure if you shopped the store on Fort Evans or in downtown Leesburg, but the Fort Evan store also had OWA on the shelf.....at least they did a week or so ago.
