What Bourbon did you purchase today? - Spring 2011

[stevegoz]

Last night after dinner I picked up a bottle each of ORVW 10-107 and a WL Weller 12 as backups to two of the bottles that I've been enjoying the most recently. And since the wife was with me, I got to hint at a bottle or two that I wouldn't mind getting for my birthday in a month and a half (Blanton's to her is now "the horsie-top bottle" :grin:).

Several more 1.75 bottles of 4R Yellow label

Couldn't find any OWA (never tried it) so I picked up my trusted W.L. Weller 12 year. An early fave, I went for awhile without it. Kicked a bottle of it a few weeks ago and just can't stand my cabinet without one.

Also picked up my 2nd bottle of Caribou Crossing. It's a single barrel Canadian bottled by Sazerac. I drank a bottle of it last year and found it quite delicious; sweet in a spongy way, like a marshmallow, and no hint of cloying. I'm sensitive about sweet whiskey (Chivas and Crown Royal make me sick as a dog), but I really enjoyed Caribou. I noticed a bottle of Pappy20 I had had my eye on had been taken away so I decided to buy the Caribou before it was too late.

This is almost reason enough to move to Chicago. I haven't seen a trace of Weller 12 in Atlanta in quite some time.

Good trade! :grin:

Yes it was as I feel both of us felt equally pleased. It was a flawless and quick transaction.... wish they were all this way.

[Cassius King]

Picked up a bottle of Rip Van Winkle 12 year Lot B.:yum:

Have to make a tough decision. Bought 4 bottles of pappy 15 last week. The liquor store called and said they had my four bottles requested set aside for me to pick up today. I guess they didn't throw away the request form. SO should I get them. $54 each includes tax. On the one side I am afraid this will be the last of the pappy 15 but on the other I have to face my wife. Hmmm...

If it helps any, I am pretty sure it was confirmed that the Fall with still have SW PVW 15.

I have to pay slightly more than that per bottle of Lot B -- grab 'em up!

Yea, they definitely confirmed this on their FB page fwiw.

It's taking more work and harder to find. If you enjoy PVW15, this is a no brainer.

Went ahead and bought all four bottles. Actually cost me $60 a bottle but thats OK. Asked why the others were cheaper she said they originally put them in at the Lot B price but caught their their mistake. They still have about 6 bottles left. Four 20 year and one 23 year.

Proper netiquette is to buy them all and put them on eBay. Then you mail a picture of yourself with a handful of cash to the store that sold them to you. DUH! :cool:

I ended up in a great liquor store in Rochester, NY this week. I walked out the proud owner of a Russell Reserve 10 year, an OWA with the 7 year age statement from a private bottling from the store, and the highlight, a bottle of RittBIB, the first time I have ever see on on the shelf. :grin:

Of course now when I get home I see that the RR's cork has broken off and I can smell bourbon in my suitcase :hot: Guess I should have been more careful....

[StraightNoChaser]

ORVW 10/90

hoping the store calls me back with another PVW15 :bigeyes:

[jcg9779]

Two PVW15 for $54 apiece in Dallas. Damn Georgia Crown for price gouging the good citizens of Georgia and charging $75 a bottle!

[unclebunk]

Bulleit Rye, actually. I couldn't resist finding out if this stuff's any good.

[BMartin42]

Picked up my first bottle of Ritt BIB. Can't wait to crack this one open.
