What bourbon did you purchase today? Spring 2010

[spun_cookie]

Picked up a 2002 WTKS and the 3rd PH barrel proof in Bourbon MO. Must have been fate.

I finally got everything here from my Houston trip a couple weeks ago!

Well that is hard to follow up.

It's even more difficult when the only thing I bought this weekend was some Old Overholt to drink outside. Although if you add a splash of ginger, you have yourself a delicious and inexpensive drink.

Nice haul Bob.

We are thinking July, weekend after the 4th, or the weekend following that. So there is plenty of time to clear schedules. Gazebo style, grilling, the weather should be perfect.. perhaps some fishing also.

Found a store that had 8 WLW SR. Bought them all. Once again our state ABC has decided to discontinue another fine bourbon. I guess I'm gonna have to buy me a blender and start getting use to these damned foo-foo drinks. Pretty soon that's all that will be for sale here.

Four Roses 100th Ann. at Toco Giant in Atlanta. A pleasant surprise.

I hunted a little bit in Minneapolis/St. Paul today over lunch...I was able to find a few good ones from left to right:

1 OFBB 2007, VSOF BHC, 2 WTKS Pewter Tops 4/10/00

A bottle of WTRB, 'cause I've never tried it(and it was on sale). A bottle of EC12, 'cause I read it was better than VW Lot B.:grin:

Now Dave, you can't believe everything you read.(1)

1. Unlike seeing it on TV, where you can be sure it's true.(2)

2. Unless it's FOX, where you can be sure it's false.(3)

3. Unless it's the Simpsons, in which case you can be sure it's true.

[BourbonJoe]

Read it and believe it cause it happened. Note:

Wow!

I'd like to have been there when the labels were exposed to the tasters.

An '04 EC12 eh? Don't know for a fact if I had that one.

I do remember getting a bottle in '05 or so when I got serious about bourbon and I liked it.

The recentt '09's are very good.

Nothing like the old college try!

There came a parcel from a very small Belgium online store this morning. It came 3 month and one day after my initial order. You have to be patient to order from small one-man online stores.

It contained for myself:

ETL

2*VWFRR-K

2*WT101 0,33 litre from early 90-is

WRMCSO

WT Sherry signature

Stagg 2009

For Borlänge bourbon boys:

ER 2009

WT 8 export

For my lady partner Yvonne:

ETL

Very nice haul Leif! Pays to be patient, although there's no way I could have waited that long not thinking something had gone terribly wrong. Enjoy.

Just picked up a bottle of Old Weller Antique in Greenwich

CT. Never tried it before (cant get it on Cape Cod). Very

nice indeed, should have gotten a few more bottles!

[Gillman]

The Old Charter is known as a low-rye spec, and Joe's standings show that the highest rye one, EC 12, finished first. This shows that people generally preferred the bourbon with the highest rye content and if none, it finished behind these others. But I submit: it doesn't mean they decided the rye-recipe bourbons had a better taste, just a more impactful one. All wheat-recipe bourbon I've had (at least the modern productions, we're not talking dusties) are mild in flavor as compared to rye-recipe. I think people in the tasting were noticing the bigger flavors, which a blind tasting of that type tends to favor.

It doesn't mean that consistently tasted, one would prefer EC 12 to Lot B.

Yes you should have. :grin: Joe

Yesterday after work I checked out a few stores I'd never been to before and was able to pick up 3 Pappy 15's, an ORVW 10/107 and a Lot B.

Finding the Pappy's made my week.

Nice haul, Jake. I'm heading to TX next year. From what I've heard and seen, I think I might need to start saving money now...

Sweet haul! Keep it up.
