What Bourbon did you purchase today? - Spring 2011

[Josh]

All the Pappy 15's that I secured from this release were shared with members at a mutually beneficial price...There is a cost for my time, packaging, shipping, gas, etc...so no they weren't sold at exactly the price I paid at the store. But the final price was damn near what I had invested.

Let me guess...I should have driven hundreds of miles, fronted thousands of dollars, and spent 12 plus hours of my time for free?

[BradleyC]

He sold me some at a price that I thought was more than fair. I've seen it on shelves and online for a good bit more. Trust me, he didn't make much money off the deal when you factor in the items he mentioned (you forgot the cost of shipping materials Bob). I think his approach is far more altruistic than taking all the bottles and hoarding them for himself.

[hectic1]

If you made money from the venture, no skin off my nose. I just don't understand the need to act like it's some sort of altruistic venture if you're selling them at a profit.

I picked up 10 Pappy 15.....:grin:

Just Kidding... I only picked up 1 lonely Pappy 15 here in KY. Dont get your panties in a wad !!!!:slappin:

This has ran off topic long enough, if you guys want to start a bitch-fest about selling bottles and rebuttals and such then take it to PRC, a separate thread or private messages. We've had enough of this issue in the public spotlight, yes that's a warning.

[Josh]

I didn't act like it was anything of the sort. I guarantee that EVERY single person that I provided bottles to was extremely happy at both the price and availability that I provided them. I'm certainly not going to have people slamming me for providing others with the ability to get HARD TO FIND bottles at equal or lesser prices then they would pay in their markets...if they could find them. Comments like the one that you just made is the reason the phrase no good deed goes unpunished was coined. So go ahead Josh...keep throwing stones if you like...the ignore button is a great option!

PS. Why don't you ask Tony if I made a profit on him?

Good grief. Nobody's throwing stones. Just be honest about what you're doing and you don't open yourself up for questions that obviously make you feel uncomfortable. Frankly, if you were just picking them up to share and selling them at cost I was going ask if you had any left.

I'm not sure what Tony has to do with anything.

Here's a pic of my haul from the sampler. Some are from purchases, some from trades, and a couple were gifts. Thanks to those members for the trades and gifts. Joe

Eleven 200 mls of AA BIB

One 200 mil of Beam 100 month 86 proof from a 1968 decanter

One 200 ml of SW Weller SR

One 2010 PHC 124.2 proof (autographed)

One Jeremiah Weed 100 proof bourbon liqueur

One DGonano Willett 5 year 121.8 proof

One David Nicholson 1843 BIB DSP 16

Those Nicholson's have been using up DSP 16 labels for a loooooong time.

Julian Van Winkle speaks of it in the archives, if interested.

Eh-hem...back to normal programming.

I got some good stuff in KY myself, nothing too sexy (didn't come through Cinci this time so no stops at Cork 'n' Bottle or Party Source) but some good value juice I think:

4R SB (for less than $30!)

Angel's Envy

Early Times 354 (I know the reviews have not been great, but I wanted to try it anyway)

Baby Saz (hard to find hereabouts)

Handles

Weller 12

Heaven Hill 6 y/o/90 proof (green label)

VOB 90 proof

I know the BiBs of the last two above are more popular but I thought I'd give their lower-proof cousins a try this time. So far, so good!

Ancient Ancient Age 10 y/o

[the Duff]

1 WLW 2010

1 ORVW 10/107

1 PVW 15 :happy feet:

Thanks to those of you that made some of these possible and of course The Ohio State University basketball program to which I owe the Rock Hill Farms.

Thanks Roger. Oh well. For $15 bucks I thought I'd take a shot. If it's not that good, I can use it for making bourbon balls. :grin: Joe

For what it's worth, I like the squat bottles better than Julian, but then I think he may be biased.

Those are 100 proof, but they aren't bonded are they? Why is the DSP even on that label?

[G.H.Adams]

Well my shipment came today so I am sitting back enjoying some AAA 10. I have not had this in 31 years. I like it.

That's great. I hope it takes you on a nice trip down memory lane.

Since the WTKS with the smooth dark tops get high praise here, I decided to get one last night, the date on it is 1-18-05.

[bourbonNOOG]

In dallas for 8 days. Staying in/on the West End. Walked down the street and grabbed an OWA with the paper label from 02. First time I've had the stuff and it's damn tasty.

[sutton]

JPS 17 yr old Batch #7

Willett Single Barrel 6 yr old

[Guest wripvanwrinkle]

Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I'm looking forward to comparing it to some 1980's WT 101.

[tehbeardman]

Finally picked up some WT Rye 101. Excited to crack it open tonight.

[BMartin42]

Speaking of rye, I picked up my first ever bottle of bourbon's cousin tonight myself. Baby Saz.

Sutton. That is a great batch. Better then batch #1 imo. Enjoy!

Picked up some Four Roses Yellow, to partake in the BOTM here. I was looking for the Small Batch and/or Single Barrel as well, but in the 4 stores I went to only 2 had the Yellow and only one had the Small Batch and Single Barrel, the one that had the Small Batch and Single Barrel was beyond overpriced. So I just picked up the Yellow from a new store that just happened to have it. Cheers.
