What bourbon did you purchase today? Spring 2010

[The Boozer]

WT Kentucky Spirit. My 1st bottle of the stuff. Smoother than WT 101, seems to lack the familar WT 101 kick - less grainy and chewy. Only had 2 glases of the stuff so will have to give the bottle more trial & error.

You opened that yet? I had some at the Gazebo a few weekends ago. That was some very good stuff.

I have a job interview on Thursday and told myself I would wait to open it until after the interview...but of course I had a pour within 10 minutes of getting it home.

Never thought in a million years that 3 year old bourbon could taste that good. It's not the best thing ever, you can tell it's young, but it's still really tasty. I can't think of any other un-chill filtered, barrel proof bourbon available for only $28.

I want to chill filter some of it myself, and cut it with spring water to 90 proof to see how it would taste then. I wonder if it's the chill filtering and high proof that makes it good or if it's just (somehow) a quality 3 year old bourbon?

Strolled into a liquor store in MN and to my surprise there was a Gold Foil AH Hirsch 16yr waiting for me...it was a little expensive though ($59.99)but I couldn't pass!

I also found a WTRB gift box (the nice wood one) for $34.99...they're both coming back to IL with me!

Tripped over a box in the garage this morning, it had a Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve 101 in it.

Sorry I left my box of bourbon in the garage Oscar. Do you mind returning it to its rightful owner? :cool:

Sir, your argument is with Mr. UPS.:skep:

[SMOWK]

A lonely bottle of ORVW 10/107 showed up via Mr. UPS a little while ago. He's now on the shelf with his buddies.

Read about the current WR Master's Collection Seasoned Oak Finish last night. Can't believe I missed this one when it came out and at WhiskeyFest (skipped WR). Supply dwindling around here, but Dave (HP Binnys) found me a bottle nearby. had it with dinner. Quite good. hope to get another bottle.

Also picked up a Pappy 20 for the bunker. Still my absolute favorite. Barely more $$ than others are paying for P15. Dave said he got one case of Pappy 15 (priced way less than other states from what I read) and it went quickly. 2 cases of Pappy 20; several bottles in display case.

Also had several bottles of Jefferson Presidential--I could barely find a bottle a couple of months ago.

???????that's NOT how the image looks in photobucket (if it's still sideways)!!!!!! sorry.

Ordered a couple of things from Julio's

FRSB Barrel Strength 120pf OESQ

Jeffersons Reserve SB

RHF Barrel 1 from last year......he happened to have one left. This particular bottle is one of my favorites from Julio's....loaded with Cherry's.

Today, I visited JT Webb's Liquor World in Bardstown, Ky for the first time. Small store with a big bourbon selection. Found out about the store on this website. I will definitely visit this store again.

Anyway, I was feeling very low shelf/mid-shelf and picked up Rebel Reserve 90.6 proof, Johnny Drum 101 proof, David Nicholson 1843 100 proof and a 1.75 of Heaven Hill 86 proof.

By the way, also picked up a bottle of ORVW 10yo 107 proof. I will have to say I like the taste of this. As a bourbon noob, I look forward to moving up the Van Winkle product line.

Picked up a WTKS to replace a recently-deceased one.

Picked up a Van Winkle Rye and a 10 year 107. Then finished the open Van Winkle Rye on my shelf.

OGD 114 last night. I let the girlfriend give it a sip, and I thought she was gonna puke. Probably not the best thing to start her out on. I always ask if she wants to try whatever I'm having and usually she says no. This time she surprised me by saying yes. LOL!

I think the 10/107 is every bit as good as the PVW15, though not the same. I really wish the older guys were a higher proof. I'm itching to open the ORVW 23/114, but as a young lad, I shall pay my dues before it's time.

I picked up a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrell to go along with the bottle of Small Batch I bought last week. :grin:

Polished off a good chunk of a bottle of Evan Williams Single barrel 1999 last night. I don't think it is the best of the EWSB, but a great pour for under $25.

[bigtoys]

another WR Master's Collcetion Seasoned Oak Finish for the bunker.

I got one Thurs and Mike at Binny's Express in Hubbard Woods said to go home and try it, because he only had 1 more bottle and I would have to let him know if I wanted it, too. I called him back Friday to ask him to hold #2; he said he was expecting my call.

[docbible]

Friday I picked up two ORVW 23yo 114 that had been on hold for a few weeks. Great stuff. Grabbed a JPS batch 3 and 5. Also picked up McScrooges Weller antique 107 nas. Their last barrel was the best that I have tried..... high expectations on this one. tim

Had fun back in the Old Country this weekend. The wife and I treated bonneamie and her husband to a weekend in Indianapolis. Had a great time and made the obligatory trip to Kahns where I purchased:

1 Kahn's Select Buffalo Trace

1 Kahn's Select Blanton's (for $12 cheaper than I can get it here)

1 Four Roses 2009 SBBS

and 1 BT Cream Liqueur!:bigeyes: My first sighting of it outside of the BT giftshop.

[Enabler]

But did you go to St. Elmo's, that is the question?

Unfortunately we did not, but we got in some good eatin' and drinkin' nevertheless. Hit the Rathskeller, The Red Key Tavern, The Slippery Noodle, Le Peep and Bazbeaux's. So we did all right :grin: .
