What bourbon did you purchase today? Summer 2010

[p_elliott]

I bought an ERSB for $21 and a Blanton's for $39 so I saved $10 a piece on both of these. I also bought ORVW 10/107 and a OWA NAS. I was looking for Pappy 15 the store that I knew sold Pappy had no Pappy at all. When asked about Pappy 15 they said one customer bought their whole allotment.

Just a few 4R small batch

Standard 4RSmB or the new LE?

[smokinjoe]

What? There's an EW BiB Green Label?? Damn. Can you bring one of those to the gazebo Joe?

[Rughi]

Sure, I'll bring one. I think it was Craig (Craigthom) who wrote here some time back, that he heard the Green Label with the Little Cabin was pretty limited in release geographically. He might have even said it was a Georgia-only? I can't corroborate that, because I think I've seen it in other states. But, I'm not sure.

[George]

Picked up a bottle of EC 12.

[dmarkle]

Two bottles of WL Weller Antique 107 at $23. Quite nice for the price. Although I might prefer the new Old Fitzgerald BIB for $16 more. Not sure yet. I need to keep drinking.

Yeah my local sold their whole allotment to one person too. Kind of crappy I'd say not to take care of at least a couple other regs too. Although my other spot got a case and no one has bought any but me!!

[bourbon-n00b]

Purchased over the weekend, but have yet to receive, a small stash of vintage minis:

Kentucky Tavern BiB 1945/1949

Mount Vernon Rye BiB 1945/1953

Old Stagg x 2 (One 80 proof, can't read the other)

Old Fitzgerald BiB (86 proof? Not sure what's up with that.)

Old Forester 86 proof

Early Times Bourbon 80 proof

Old Family Bourbon 86 proof (Never heard of this one)

Great chance to try some stuff I likely would not be able to otherwise and at a per-bottle cost less than a Makers Mark in a bar. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

[Joshua]

This is really scummy, but happens ALL the time. I generally either leave one behind if there is 2 of something new and fancy... or for say Pappy 15 I bought two bottles, went back two weeks later for another, then a week or two after that for another.

This is why I really appreciate the 2 retailers I deal with the most. Many limited allocation items they never even put on their shelves or only put one out at a time. By doing this no one gets to raid the good stuff and while some of us may not get as many bottles as we want we at least get something (sometimes just one, that's why I do my best to stay in the good graces of 2 different retailers so that hopefully I can get 2 bottles of most anything between the 2 stores).

ORVW 10 year

Old Weller Antique 107 (had a few glasses of this the other night and it was great)

Van Winkle 12 year Lot B

2009 Eagle Rare 17

If all the others are as good as the Weller was, I'll be extremely happy

You didn't get them in Iowa, did you get them on your trip to Minnesota? If I may ask.

[smokinjoe]

My Maker's 46 is running low, so I picked up another one. Also, spied and grabbed some 200 ml WT 86.8's, EW 7 yr 90 proof, and for sh%#'s and giggles, a couple 200's of Barton's QT Light Whiskey. :eek:

[SMOWK]

Found a lonely bottle of Buffalo Trace at a local liquor store. It's been a couple years since I bought a bottle of BT. The last one I had was undrinkable, which ended up going to my brother. This one, pretty damn good.

UPS brought me six bottles of Weller 12 today. Two of which were only half full/half empty upon arrival. DOH! Luckily, it's already been taken care of by the shipper.

Good gawd. They still make that?

[smokinjoe]

I don't think so. The bottle has a Georgia Liquor Tax Stamp on it, which takes it back a ways. Maybe, late 80's? It's 80 proof and aged 24 months. I love the story on the label :

"This is no ordinary whiskey. Barton's QT is so unique, versatile and smooth tasting, it's perfect straight, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail or highball. It's almost like having an entire liquor cabinet in one bottle (italics, mine). Master whiskey craftsmen distill Barton's QT with pride, age it in seasoned oak casks, then filter it by a special process. Barton's QT is the easiest drinking whiskey ever created."

Shucks, after that write-up, I may just sell off my entire bunker and drink nothing but this!

[CorvallisCracker]

Well, I'm convinced. Do they have any more?

Found a couple of Rittenhouse BIB's. Haven't seen this for a while so I was happy to find them since my last bottle went a few months ago.

[CaptainQ]

Nice haul(so far) Jake!

[hectic1]

While in Detroit I was able to land the following:

1 Weller Cent

1 RR101

1 FR Mariage 08

2 WTKS William Wallace selections

I visited about 30 stores yesterday and saw a lot of OT 6yr and OGD...nothing else very interesting...I think Tony has wipped Detroit out!

[blopez50]

I went into the only store around here that has a decent bourbon selection and found a bottle of Old Grand Dad Bonded.

It'll be my first BiB pour and I'm excited to try it!

You will not be disappointed. OGDBIB is a staple on most shelves around here.
