CaptainQ Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Had a little extra time to visit one of the major liquor stores here. I came home with three bottles. First was a new bottle I'd never seen before, Virgin 7 year 101 proof. Second was EWSB: barreled 7-18-01, barrel number 129, bottled on 1-4-11. The last was old faithful, Weller 12.:yum: I had a pour from the Virgin and I must say pretty good for a $14 bottle. It has the classic HH nose, but the taste is a bit different from EW. I like the sweetness up front and the 101 gives it a nice richness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Got a bottle of Buffalo Trace as a gift yesterday. Hadn't had this in a while. Lots of rye on the palate, but a bit too "thin" for my tastes. Followed it up with some Lot B. The contrast was magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I remember buying a bottle of Sam Houston in Texas some time back but for the life of me cannot recall enough tasting notes to post a credible description. I do remember thinking Evan Williams 1783 43% was 10 yrs old and cost half as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.H.Adams Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nothing today but awaiting delivery on the 23rd of Four Roses Yellow and Four Roses Small Batch.

I grabbed a couple handles of ND OGD 86 that I found...Love me some ND juice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nope, not a thing. Passing the entire Bourbon section I like to think it was due to strength of character but the truth is I didn't want to walk into the office with a briefcase in one hand and a bottle of booze in the other.
