MarkEdwards Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Even though it isn't fall until next week, it's close enough to participate in this thread (grin).I received a shipment today with a bottle of Elijah Craig 18yo bottled in 1990, nestled in with two bottles of Midleton Irish and a bottle of Jameson's Limited Reserve 18yo. I also picked up a bottle of Glenrothes 1975 30yo scotch.I plan to round out my VanWinkles this weekend and stop spending on Irish Whisky and Scotch for awhile (grin).

TomH Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 After going close to 2 months without making a purchase (edit to correct: I did buy a few scotch bottles on sale 2 weeks ago, but they don't count in a bourbon thread <G>), I have lapsed back into my buying ways again. I picked up a bottle of the Jefferson Presidential Select this weekend (and after tasting it tonight will be putting in an order for a few more bottles) and today when stopping by the local store just to talk with the spirits guy about how he liked the U2 concert (he went Saturday, we went Sunday) I noticed that he had the new BTEC on the shelf so I had to buy a set. Probably will not be my last bottle this week since I'm sure a few new bottles will find their way home during KBF.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
independant Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I like Fall better then summer so I am posting here.Picked up a ETL as a back up and a bottle of OGD BIB as a replacement and meant to grab a bottle of Fighting Cock because it had been a while but when I got to the counter I had a bottle of Charter 101 in my hand so I went with that.

Drazzamatazz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Silly me, fall is so much better than summer.Well it seems my spot with all the Weller Centennial was discovered by someone, but I did manage to grab one more bottle, seem to be all gone now.They are trying to order me a certain beer this week, so when I stop in again I'll check and see if they've filled the void in their bourbon isle with anything.Out of curiosity, is the old Baker's Bourbon any different than the new bottlings? I saw a bottle has appeared on the shelf in the store next to me.Looked like this one http://www.bourbonenthusiast.com/for...isplaybottlingListed for $36.

Dr. François Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I bought a pint of Beam era Old Taylor for about 5 bucks. I wanted to try it, and the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 While looking for some OWA, the local ABC manager called me and said she had one bottle of Stagg sitting on the back shelf so I picked it up for a friend whose been looking for one. She also informed me that there were only 4 bottles of OWA left in the State of VA. Fortunate for me, they were at a store on the way home after work.

Fortunate for me, they were at a store on the way home after work.Looks like BT created the feeding frenzy by decontenting their product that Beam tried to create for Knob Creek with empty bottles and free t shirt gimmicks. Methinks where KC has annoyed some it'll blow over, but with Antique it may be a last fling before the divorce. BT needs to start on the damage control, pronto.Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't resist. :cool: I think I will be picking up a new birthday bourbon in the next few days, but who knows. I was planning on going old bottle hunting this weekend, but it may or may not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus_Of_Life Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 OOOohhhhh, I do not like seeing this thread early! I'm savoring every bloody minute of official summer and the still summer weather we'll be having after fall officially starts! I'm tempted to lock this until it is officially here, but will let it slide since Scott did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have enough bourbon in Kentucky? You're infringing on my home turf. With that said, I brought a bunch back with me from the KBF. :slappin: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I made a run out to the store for Tommyboy38 today...picked him up bottles of EWSB from 1989 and 1990. I also found a bottle of Blanton's bottled in 1993 for $39.99...too good of a deal to pass up on even though I told myself that I was done buying for a while. This past weekend in Vegas really hurt my bourbon fund...it will take months to recover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Picked up some goodies at the KBF last week. Jefferson's Presidential Select, Elmer T Lee 90th Birthday, 2009 Four Roses Mariage, a Liquor World Four Roses Single Barrel-Barrel Strength, J T S Brown BIB, Buffalo Trace, Buffalo Trace Creme Liqueur, and a handle of Old Forester BIB from 1981, courtesy of Tommyboy.

callmeox Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 You're still early.The 21st (today) is the last full day of Summer and the 23rd is the first full day of Autumn. The equinox is at 21:18 UTC on the 22nd, so tomorrow is more than 1/2 summer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
