That was lucky, I think you got the last of them, James . . . what store did you hit if you don't mind my asking, I've been watching the stocks. Glad I got mine on that the day it hit stores -- the WLW & Stagg went fast!

I got mine through a store transfer from Portsmouth to West Chesterfield. I ordered them the day they were released and have had them held for me since this Monday. I've been anxious to get up there and pick them up before someone asked for them back!

Hit Saford on a camping trip and picked up a couple dusty WT80s and EW 7yr. Have not had the 7yr and Christian recommended it. Grabbed the only bottle.

Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon. Have not seen any Van Winkle product locally in well over a year. Saw this on the shelf and about did handsprings down the isle! Cheers to old favorites!

I received earlier this week, bottles of Binnys FR barrel strength OBSQ, OESV and OESK as an early birthday present. Getting older does have its benefits!

A bottle of VWSR Lot B under $40 locally. Although that's $5-$10 more than I've ever paid, I believe it is generally $10 higher elsewhere anymore, so I bit. Only had one bottle, though -- which was both good (for my wallet) and bad (for my tastebuds -- Lot B may be outside my 'value ratio' anymore).

I just picked up the new Buffalo Trace experimental release. I had to go to two Liquor Barns to find it. I haven't tasted it yet though. I'll wait for when a guest comes to visit.

A lonely and sitting there all by itself, old label WTRB-03-93, marked down to $24.99. Those damn Illinois taxes mean out the door at $28.86.

Grabbed a couple of regular Buffalo Trace bottles in NH yesterday. I wanted to get Julio's SB when I was down there (because it was very, very good), but it's $9 less in NH, so I went that route.

I didn't pay attention when I was up there (my mind was on BTAC) but how much were they going for? I can get them around here for about $23 or $24.

They're $19.99, but they're only left in a few locales. What they did last year was get about 400 in stock in early Dec. and let the stocks dwindle over the course of the year -- they did the same thing with the Saz Jr.

Since Thanksgiving time is near, I did some Turkey hunting today. I bagged two good ones. WT 101 and WTRB. :grin: Gobble till you wobble! :slappin: Joe

Since I was not into bourbon back when the Wild Turkey Tradition or Tribute came out, I decided to pay up for the latest release of the "Tradition" in the 14 year version. I got it close to $100, so after seeing what some other places are charging for it, I feel like I had to pick one up. The box is rather large and it is a nice looking bottle, hoping it tastes even better going down.

I saw this bottle yesterday for $131, i passed but im very tempted to go back because like you i missed out on the other Tradition and Tribute. I shouldent do it cause i dont really have the funds but damn im weak.

$20 is excellent!

Also, I've been curious about the Saz Jr. any thoughts? For rye's I've mostly been drinking Ritt BIB, WTRye, Handy and Saz18 or RVWRye if I can get my hands on it of course. Also, have you tried the new R-i or whatever it's called?

I feel the same way...I have told myself I'm not buying anymore bourbon until I polish some more bottles off, but I don't want to be left out of these limited run bottles. I am an absolute sucker.
