Stopped at another small town liquor store and bought several bottles each of OF bonded, 90 proof Rebel Yell, Dickel No 12 with the label painted on the bottle, and a one gallon bottle of Four Roses Blended WHiskey. They all had tax strips and appeared to be from the 70's because they were english quantities. I don't think you can sell gallons anymore but I decided not to mention it. Probably crappy whiskey but a neat bottle.

Luckily the Costco's here try to carry some relatively decent bourbon. I've picked up several VW and BT releases from the Costcos here as well.

You know your in bourbon drinking country when you have that kind of choice. Only limited Beam products at ours. There was once some Woodford's Reserve that sat for about two years before being pulled. It was quite incredible though how quickly, even up here, they went through loads of that Kirkland labelled Beam crap, though I never had it, so yes I'm being purposefully and presumptuously judgmental.

In my part of Chicagoland Costco always has Beam White, KC, Woodford Reserve, the 1.75 of MM and MM46.

Texas has a decent selection of bourbon. I guess I can't complain.:grin:

Yeah. Do you know what kind of bourbon that we can buy at Costco in Ohio?

I picked up a bottle of the Fall 2010 VW Lot B, EWSB 1997, EWSB 2000 and OGD 100 BIB. I've never had the OGD, but for $17 I thought I should pick up a bottle.

Boxed bottle of OGD 114. I'm not very familiar with the OGD line, so I thought I'd start at the top!

Found a bottle of Blantons straight from the cask and an OGD 86 on my travels in germany, wish I had more time to go hunting now as they are both excellent, not had a chance to see how old the OGD is yet not sure where to start!

After trying it, I agree! OGD 114 is a great value. The higher proof allows more oak to show through, but it remains balanced. A good pour, and one that I think I will revisit once this bottle is empty!

Before I left Minnesota for the trip back to New Mexico I stocked up on bourbon that I have to order:

Four Roses Yellow Label-6 bottles

Four Roses Single Barrel-6 bottles

Four Roses Small Batch-6 bottles

Old Fitzgerald BIB-2 liter bottles

Ancient Age-2 liter bottles

Eagle Rare 10-1 case

Buffalo Trace-1 case

Old Charter 10- 1 case

The old truck was loaded down but at least my bunker is full for the time being.

The store clerk was happy to see me enter the store.:lol:

While working my way from Chicago to Tell City Indiana for the week I found a couple bottles of Pappy 15 waiting for me. I love me some Pappy 15! :)

Stumbled upon a liquour store quite far from my home and bought my friend a bottle of Rare Breed. As I had many other things in the cart, I wasn't paying much attention when my stuff was rung up, only to discover when I got home that the clerk rang up the RB at $21! Sure wish I had purchased two!:grin:

Picked up a PHC 10 for $69

Broke down and bought a bottle of Mellow Corn just to see what it's like. Wasn't sure it was even worth the $14 I paid for it but after reading a few positive remarks here on SB I thought I'd wing it out of curiousity. It's actually not bad at all and somewhat fuller in flavor than I had even expected.
