dhs3 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare 10yo 90 proof during my lunch break.

DukeB Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Picked up 3 bottles of Jefferson Presidential Select. That's some good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3Nut Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Picked up a bottle of OWA in the new Weller 12-style bottle...NAS now. Weller SR's showing up in that bottle now too, saw it at the other Woodman's...didn't think to look to see if it's now NAS also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nor02lei Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Got a parcel from Binny´s via a middleman in Germany yesterday. I got 2 Handy 2008 and 1 WLW 2008 for myself and the following 5 for my local bourbon club BBB: VOB 100, OFBB 2008, Michter´s 10 rye, R 1 and rendezvous rye. I must say that I am extremely curios about the rendezvous.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm pretty excited. For the first time, I found bottles of WLW and GTS at a store. Though money is a little tight, I couldn't resist picking up a bottle of each. :toast:One question. Can someone maybe tell me if the bottle of WLW is 2008 or 2009? The number on it is J1960908-43.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronHead Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Picked up another WLW 09 for the bunker. I think I will open one of them tonight. Unfortunately due to work bs I have to go in this weekend and I am not happy about it (but at least I have a job). So I may just go with something I know. I hate to go into an anticipated bottle while disgruntled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Not bourbon, but I picked up a bottle of George M. Tiddy's Canadian Liqueur for a friend. My wife and I are going over to another couples house tomorrow for dinner and drinks, and my friend likes the stuff. I'm pretty sure he's out, and besides, it's cheap. :grin: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ+Bourbon Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Last night this time I picked up a 2007 Parkers Heritage and tonight picked up a JRPS lot 2. There will be a coolling-off period for my check card for the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ+Bourbon Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 And added another OWA to the stash. Trying to pick up a few cases of this stuff while it still has an age statement. I think we're in "Number 8" territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The recent Van Winkle bottlings have appeared on the local shelves. Quantities are said to be very limited. So I picked up PVW15 and Lot B... a pair of each for the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyrider Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Been awhile since Ive made the trip to KY and a recent layoff has my funds a bit more tied....But, I've been waiting for the BTAC offerings to make one more run across the border for a bit...Stagg-2WLWHandyFour Roses MarriageETL BirthdayPVW 15Jeff Pres 17More than enough to keep my nose and palate happy through fall and winter!!!Cracked the FR and its one of the best ryes Ive had in a while.

B3Nut Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 After having tasted the NAS OWA the closest Woodmans got in I grabbed another for the bunker (my first taste of OWA, and it reminded me of the Everett's single barrel of SR but with more caramel and higher proof, but has some of those apple notes I really love, so I wanted more of that batch they got. There's half a dozen left yet.) There's some of the older OWA at the other Woodmans well on the other side of town, I might swing by there this week since I'll be doing some work at our other warehouse on that end of town. They have the Weller SR in the new bottle there too I think, it'll be interesting to see if the age statement is gone from that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I haven't gone whiskey hunting in well over a year -- and, frankly, I didn't do so today, though I ran across something to buy anyway. I stopped to visit a couple of liquor stores I hadn't been into for several years during a wandering, first-day-of-fall-break drive, not looking for anything in particular nor expecting to find anything in particular. At one store, where I'd found a handful of gems previously, I finally grabbed off a Glen Ord 12yo single malt Scotch which I'd known had been there during previous visits. However, he was down to a single one with holiday packaging -- in this case, an additional 375ml bottle for no additional cost (the labeling's copyright was 1997). By the way, Glen Ord hasn't been imported into the U.S. for several years. Anyway, I've mentioned this bottling previously to dougdog, and would be glad for his -- or anyone else's -- thoughts on its desirability. I sometimes think to look through Woodford Reserve stocks -- which otherwise don't really interest me -- in order to discover any remaining Lincoln Henderson-'signed' bottles. The only one in this store was an early Lot 27 liter, which I'd estimate was bottled c. 1999-2001 -- well before any pot-stilled whiskey made it into the batching. In other words, this is the WR that people remember when they claim today how good it is.:smiley_acbt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
