CorvallisCracker Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I really need to pick up a bottle of the EWSB-00. How does it stack up to the 99?I like the 2000 better than any since the 1995.The three I've bought so far are all from barrel #16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I went out to do a little semi-dusty hunting yesterday. I hit a few places where I had left some things behind. Most everything I was looking for was gone. I did pick up a couple 200 mils of 92 Old Fitz Prime w/faux tax stamp, and a couple bottles of WT8 export. I was close to a Binny's, so I decided to stop. I passed up everything at that store. (the ORVW 23 was taunting me though) Found out another Binny's had some Weller 12. Made the drive there, and couldn't help myself. Bought another case. There's just something about this bourbon that I love. At least I'll have enough of it to hold me till I'm old and grey. :grin: Wait, I am old and grey.:skep: I also think I may have another bottle of 09 GTS. I'll find out for sure when Vosgar gets back home from visiting his son. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Lamplighter Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Catching up a bit due to weekend work hours. On Friday, found some Old Charter 12 as well as, unbelievably mixed in with a shelf of BTAC 09 releases, an 05 Saz 18. Before I even noted the date on the label, it was readily apparent that this one was different from the other bottles around it in comparison - much darker contents. Saturday evening found me hunting down PVW15 which I had noticed were becoming more & more scarce during the holiday season. Had to visit 7 stores before securing 2 bottles. What is going on with this one? I could have taken home any number of Lot B and PVW20 as well as a PVW23 here & there. I thought that once PVW15 passed out from under S-W provenance, it would be more plentiful. However, from the store owners with whom I have spoken the last couple of months, demand continues to strongly outpace supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectic1 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Damn Tommy...were did you find them? I was at Willowbrook around 11am and they were out. I did manage to find a VWFRR and a Pappy 15 for $45 each though! With all the Pappy talk last night in chat I was inspired to find some...the VWFRR was a bonus!

ErichPryde Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 $45....that's strong.45 is a steal. I'd love to find a bottle of both of those at that price! :cool: I paid 60 for my bottle of PVW15 because that's what I could find it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I bought nothing today, or yesterday or last week. I have a virus that I've been battling for over a week. I can't drink, b/c of the cold medicine I'm on and even the couple sips I've snuck in don't taste right. It's killing me.:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm JUST getting over one hell of a bad cold/flu. 2 weeks long, with 4 days really making me consider going to the doctor. Usually I ignore colds and they vanish, but I think working out really hard the first couple days I was coming down with it was a very bad idea...I purchased nothing, as I have a feeling my wallet will be empty come 2 days from now...

Old Lamplighter Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 My intended purchase of some 09 Handy Saz today went awry.....was not too much in the mood after dropping almost 8 bills on truck repair:hot: :hot: .....may be a while before I am able to revist this thread. In the meantime, my mood dictates that I consume every thing in sight tonite that is of a spiritual nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It was a BT reload week. 4 McScrooge's SB OWA's, a handle of BT, a BT White Dog Mash 1, a Rock Hill Farms, and 2 Squat bottle OCPR's-Frankfort. In an attempt at some semblance of balance, a 4R 2009 Mariage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hectic1 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I made the trip to Binny's to pick up some bottles for other forum members...managed to get 4 Binny's Weller 12 bottles for others and ended up getting a Binny's Weller 12 and a ORVW 10/107 for myself. I really wanted to pick up another Binny's BT but they only had the standard bottling left at my location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblick Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yesterday I picked up a dusty 200ml bottle of Ezra 15/101 Sippin' Whiskey. It even came in a paper box decorated to look like the original full size wooden box with leather hinges. I searched this site and found some old threads about it, and it got good reviews.This bottle is very old and had a little (but not much) evaporation, and the (real) cork looks pretty bad but did not break when I removed it. It had some plastic shrink-wrap on the top which likely helped prevent even more evaporation. I tried it last night and liked it a lot. I'm not good at tasting notes or picking out flavors, but I will say that this is very unique, unlike any other bourbon I've ever tasted, very sweet, and also has a pretty dark color. I'll try to get a pic taken later and post it in the dusty thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Stopped at the grocery store on the way home tonight. As usual, I had to wander through the liquor department. Found something new. Old Crow Reserve. It was on sale for $12.99, so I thought what the heck, and bought a bottle. Not sure when I'm gonna open it though. Stay tuned. :grin: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
