[Medicfrost]

Nope ive seen the KCSS at many of places, especially in Atlanta.

Ditto in Florida

Florida and Atlanta have the new Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 120 proof bottling already?

I think these guys are confusing the two KCs. The standard version is 100 proof while the new KCSB is 120 proof.

He might but I am not, well aware of the difference and ive seen them all over. I picked up a couple at Green's package, it was at 4 I stopped at while in town all in the larger stores and it was not minimal. Already had big displays.

I believe it was spotted on the shelf in KY and was also left behind.

Yes. I saw it in Lexington, but did not purchase any.

I am sure if I searched around enough I would find the answer to this question, but I am going to take the easy way out - will the Knob Creek Single Barrel be a one-time offering or is this a new regular bottling?

Joe, I thought I remembered reading that only the very first year of the Pappy 20 was rye-based, or am I mistaken? How many years did they put the rye-based PVW20 in green glass at Lawrenceburg, does anyone know?

I did a search and found some info regarding this, see post #10:

I wonder what this green glass Lot B from Lawrenceburg is, not that it really matters much, I'm just curious.

It ain't Bigfoot, but next time I see it, I'll take a pic on my phone for you since it's pretty far fetched to believe that we get premium bourbon here in the South.

Hey that's great, I believe you. I'm surprised someone hasn't bought a bottle and tried it especially since it's been talked about here for a while. It's always nice when the big boys give us a high proof offering.

Had the girlfriend stop at a Binny's in Chicago for me today. Nothing like shopping on the phone but picked up a bottle of ORVW 107 and grabbed a bottle of scotch, Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix. Passed on it when I was there last week but decided to get one for s/g's. May never drink and give away for gift but great conversation bottle.

She gets pissed everytime she see's a bottle of Pappy 20 in a red bag because the one she got me for Christmas didn't.... Women.

[cigarnv]

High West 16 YO... finally tracked one down.....

[hectic1]

Grabbed 3 ORVW 10/107 "C" bottlings...7525,7526,7527...I hope it was a good run!

[Marine Dad]

WTRR and another bottle of EWSB 2000 for stock. Really liking the EWSB.

[hectic1]

Went to a different Binny's and grabbed a 07 OGD 114 for $21, a 07 WSR for $16, and 2 VW Lot b's for $38ea...I'm done for the day! :cool:

[the Duff]

Got 10% off at Hy-Vee since i went to their bourbon tasting. Went home with OWA, 1792, and Fighting Cock.

[cigarnv]

A few Pappy 20's, Weller 12 1.75's, a Beam DA Black.... just for grins...

Now that I have had my first pour I concur!!!

[Khomeinist]

VOB BIB and Wild Turkey 101. Just reloading the standbys.

This 101 bottle is more enjoyable to me that my recent WTKS '09 purchase. Live and learn.......

[T Comp]

A Weller of a day with a 107 nas and BTAC 2010.

[chefnash51]

A buddy of mine brought back a bottle of Templeton Rye. Enjoyed a nice pour.

Picked up a Lot B and another EWSB 2000. Found a stash of barrel #55. Since all mt other ones are in the 600 and 900s, I think I might grab one for comparison.

Local store here got in a barrel pick of Four Roses SBBS OBSK at 123 proof. The price is $30. I thought it must be a mistake, especially when I looked at a bottle of the regular single barrel standing right next to it for the same exact price. I asked the guy behind the counter, but he wasn't much help.

I don't understand it, and still kind of feel like it's a mistake, but I'm not complaining. I'm going to taste it tonight and if it's delicious will be back for more at that price.

[ggilbertva]

Picked up 4 Pappy 20

1 Knob Creek Reserve 120

[Bourbon marine]

Today i went out and got a bottle of the four roses small batch because i remember as a kid my dad had gone on a tour of the distillery and brought a bottle back i never tried it but i never forgot the name, and ive got to say it was amazing i am looking forward to trying everything else they have to offer.

[Cassius King]

Picked up my first bottle of Pappy 20 year. Can't wait to try this after a long day at work.

Also pre-ordered a bottle of the 15 year, and bought a bottle of the Eagle Rare 17 year.

Have some nice drinking ahead of me.
