IronHead Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I picked up an 09 ORVW 10/107 and a Vintage 17 today. I also gazed longingly at the ORVW 23 set at two different locations. Anyone know what is up with the essentially 'V' Shaped glasses? Sure, they are shaped like the first letter in their last name, but they don't seem to be the optimal choice for sipping 14 dollars an ounce...

tommyboy38 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I believe that the age statements have been pulled from quite a few such as Rowan's Creek and Noah's Mill in the last few years. They're all from KBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a bottle of Binny's Weller 12, Binny's Blantons and then just for the hell of it an FC, VOB 100 proof and a 375 of OF Repeal bottling with the OF glass.I'll let Joe tell everyone about the rest of the days purchases. Thank goodness his vehicle has a large cargo capacity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShewDawg Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Was down in VA last week and picked up some VA Gentlemen (aka The Fox) based on Chuck's notification that A Smith Bowman has stopped producing it in favor of their premium Bowman products. I enjoy the juice on occassion and felt fortunate to pick it up before you can only get it for double the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichPryde Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 believe it or not, I found a New Orleans bottling of ER101 today for 23.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblick Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Not a purchase but one of the bands I'm in had a little impromptu jam session last night to celebrate Christmas, and I was gifted two bottles...a Weller Special Reserve NAS and a Pure Kentucky XO. This is the first time I've ever had the PK and I must say it's some very tasty stuff. Haven't cracked open the WSR yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Talked to a BT rep a few weeks ago. He said the next batch of Weller 12 will be released around Derby time next Spring. He said it will be bigger than this Fall's but that spot shortages may still happen. They hope by Fall 2010 production will be back in line with demand.

IronHead Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 While I agree that the standard Weller 12 is good the Binny's bottling is a 14yr 3mo bourbon and it's on another level IMO...this stuff is hands down my favorite everyday pour! I have 7 bottles bunkered and I'm working on getting more as once it's gone it's gone. Agreed. The Binny's 12 is far and away better than the standard bottling (and I really like the standard bottling). I am very happy to have traded for and or relied on the kindness of others to pick me up a little stash of this juice for my bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness his vehicle has a large cargo capacity! Below is a pic of my haul yesterday. Eleven bottles of Binny's Weller12, and a Binny's Blanton's. Wasn't going to get the Blanton's, but after having a sample, (thanks Joe) I just had to. :grin: Binny's, bourbon, scotch, and Manny's. It don't git no better. Thanks again Joe. I just wish you were closer to Rockford. It's always a great time at the South Loop store. We sampled some good offerings, including some scotch for my other buddy Pat. Now, in regards to Gary's comment about having enough room in my Aztek. :skep: My buddy Pat bought a lot of goodies for his father. Pretty much a whole years worth. He did almost the same thing last year when we visited Binny's. He picked up four cases (24 sets) of Chivas Regal gift sets, a case of Grey Goose, and a 6 bottle case of Bacardi handles. Between what Pat, Gary, and I had, it was around $1700-$1800 worth of booze we hauled home to Rockford. We had a laugh amongst ourselves about what might happen if we got in an accident on the way home. All in all a great day. Good friends, good trip, and a good time as always at Binny's. They have my vote as 2010 Retailer Of The Year. They always go out of their way to do things right. Cheers! :thankyousign: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Got a couple Party Source BT SBs (which I helped select). Also another bottle of the Party Source experimental wheated bourbon finished in a rye barrel. In addition some ruby port for our favorite holiday cocktail (brandied port) and some champagne for New Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
