What bourbon did you purchase today? Fall 2010

[CaptainQ]

Well, the season is upon us. Time to spend some cash. I added these this week.

[The Boozer]

Is that the new bottle for Weller 12 yr!

[nor02lei]

I got a parcel yesterday with whisky for Yvonne and me. We both got JDSS, WT 8, EC 12, and Rittenhouse BIB. Then she got Beam 7/90 and I got uncut Blanton’s. This was the last 2 bottles of Rittenhouse that the shop owner had in stock and he clamed its impossible to get more.

"Rittenhouse that the shop owner had in stock and he clamed its impossible to get more."

Cowdery noted that a new batch is coming out in October here: http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2010/07/news-about-rittenhouse-rye-and-bernheim.html

"They are now mashing rye one day a month, which is up from three or four days a year just a few years ago. Supplies are very tight right now but a batch of nearly 1,000 barrels will come of age in October, so it should be much easier to find after that."

It is the same bottle that the Binnys Weller 12 was sold in, so I don't know how new it is. Perhaps this is the first time a general release of W12 was packaged this way.

[jburlowski]

It's certainly the same bottle that was used last year. (and perhaps the year before.)

Got a friend who is expecting his first child in a few weeks. Picked up an OFBB 2010 to give him.

[SMOWK]

Fall is here. Open your wallet.

Today was a good day. I was able to talk a lady friend of mine into driving an hour, each way, just to pick up two bottles of Four Roses that was selected this past April by Dave Gonano. I sure hope this is the FR bottle that makes me say, mmmmm. I trust Dave, he's never let me down.

I would've picked it up myself, but I'm not making the trip to the Baltimore area until Sunday, when the store will be closed.

It pays to have friends all over.

Thanks Robert and I hope these whiskey will reach Europe soon after as well. Normally there is a quit big gap before the brands reach us.

Normally, I'm not a fan of the fall. The shorter days and colder weather are things I can live without. So, instead of just reminding myself that I've got football back, I figured I'd start this fall off on a better note with a few bottles of Weller 12.

[sgtgto]

I told myself I was done.. the boxes were packed.... and I HAD to stop in another store..

750/25.4 oz Old Overholt '82

liter/33.8 oz Old Overholt '85

Now to figure out where to put it.

[PaulO]

I think I know somewhere in Indiana where it can be stored. :grin:

[Skunk]

I won't say what kind it is, but it's not six years old.

[ThomasH]

Thanks to a helpful fellow SB member, I got bottles of FR1B OBSF and OESF. Now I have all 10 recipes in SB form!

Thanks to an "eagle" eyed SB'er, I picked up a liter of New Orleans ER 10/101 today. :cool:

[DeanSheen]

New Orleans ER 10/101

I was happy to add this to the collection today also. I'll try and wait a little while till I drain it.

Many thanks to the SB Dusty Helper for the opportunity.

I learned once again if you snooze you lose. Today is a 15% off spirits & wines coupon day at all the Binny's. I knew (secretly of course) where there were three 09 Stagg's, standing up and looking proud as recently as a week ago, but somehow invisible when I got back for purchase today. And I wasn't going to be greedy, only wanted one. I consoled myself with a Binny's Weller 12 and High West Rendezvous Rye.

Here is an late answer from this question from unklebunk from the closed summer thread:

“Nice haul, Leif. You must have one hell of a bunker after all of your recent acquisitions. What did you bring back from the Houston trip?â€

Well Hank its only allowed one suitcase of 20 kg nowadays so I didn’t get more than nine bottles: WT Tradition, Tribute, WLW 2007, OFBB 2009, 2*Forester BIB 1986, Dickel BS, WT 12GF and a 25 years old rum. I have the tribute and OFBB in the bunker and I gave away one BIB, but the rest is finished or open. As I live tight I haven’t unlimited bunker space.

Leif

[BourbonJoe]

Leif,

That's a very good looking package of whiskey. You sure know how to maximise space in your suitcase.

Joe:usflag:

[BradleyC]

3 x VW 12

2 x Pappy 15

2 x WLW 09

1 x OF BB 10

All of these bottles were at GOOD normal retail. I found a coupon on the back of a grocery store reciept and got 15% off. Passed on a bottle of the new BMH 16. For now at least.
