What Bourbon did you purchase today? - Spring 2011

[Parkersback]

My first bottle of Russell's Reserve 10/90. I was going to make Rare Breed my next Turkey, but the RR was $5+ cheaper and I was feeling frugal.

I am surprised at how sweet this whiskey is. Tons of vanilla. I expected more char, more WT rye ooomph. But I like sweet. It's a good bourbon.

I think I can tell why people may have preferred it at 100 proof. But I like the current iteration.

Still sitting back with AAA 10. Brings back memories of youth. I could not help myself so I ordered a case.

Discovered another place that will ship out to me, so went with 4 handles of the HH 6 year BiB. At a little over $26 per out the door, this should provide a lot of fine drinkin' for the summer. :cool:

Nicely done, BN. That's a fine price, on a really fine whiskey.

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

Love me some Baby Saz.

Is this from the 2nd barrel or the 1st? They took it off their website a few weeks ago and I want to make sure I don't miss out on the 2nd barrel they get.

No, I didn't pull the trigger in time and missed it. This time I definitely will though.

Can we expect some tasting notes? I've resisted buying one of these because of the high price tag, but I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on this PHC release.

[kickert]

Picked up 2 Pappy 15s, a bottle of lot B, and a VW 10/107... final bill after tax: $216... Not bad if you ask me.

@jcg, you have way too much confidence in my opinion. i'm just a noob trying to figure it out.

[camduncan]

On a budget this week, so got a bottle of Nelson Countty on special for $25.90 (and yes, that is VERY cheap for an Australian Bourbon)..... thanks Heaven Hill for keeping the price real!

27 years old. 24 bottles. 69.3%abv.:grin:

Oscar, as Joe pointed out it was the 27 year that only had 24 bottles. The 25 year was only 90.2 proof and had 96 bottles. I wanted the 27 year because I heard this was a S-W barrel, and I could be wrong, but believe it was the barrel Dougdog had samples of a few years ago and it was beyond spectacular.

It really is fantastic bourbon. I think I gave you sip of this one Oscar during one of our get together's.

Haha...I'm in the same boat, but this is all part of the fun!

Elmer T Lee Single Barrel is the lastest pickup. Not a bad drop.

Really great bottle to have around for when you're in the mood for that after dinner desert pour.

Has anyone picked up a bottle of the OWA107 TPS bottling and have an opinion. I still haven't picked up a bottle of the NAS yet but just recently opened a 08 OWA107 7yr and was pretty impressed with it. I've read great things about the new NAS but was wondering if the TPS was possibly even better than the rest?

[Jwilly019]

Picked up a bottle of PVW15 and PHC10 yesterday that the MI contingent so graciously "missed."

[SMOWK]

Picked up some OWA, Early Times 100th Ann, and Pikesville Rye.
