What Bourbon did you purchase today? - Summer 2011

[Halifax]

I ended up paying 75, but was told over the phone that the bottle was 65. I think the least I've seen it for was $49, and the most I've seen it for was pushing $100.

I think that the days of finding PVW15 @ $49 are long gone. When I made a Pappy run a few months ago it ranged from $59-$79.

In recent weeks I have procured a number of bottles by one means or another. Here's a pic.

#1. 1979 tax stamped Ezra Brooks Decanter, 101 months old, 80 proof

#2. Private Selection Jack Daniel's Single Barrel

#3. BT Single Oak, Barrel #100

#4. Jim Beam Devil's Cut

#5. Old Heaven Hill BIB

#6. JTS Brown BIB

#7. EW BIB x2

#8. Canadian Mist Black Diamond

#9. 1987 faux tax stamped Walker's Northern Light Canadian, 80 proof

#10. 1987 faux tax stamped Cabin Still, 80 proof

#11. 1988 & 1989 faux tax stamped Barclays, 80 proof, x3

#12. ERSB x2

I have enough ERSB, but I couldn't pass them up @ $19.99.:grin: Joe

PVW15 was going for $75 this spring in Georgia.

- Weller SR

- Four Roses 2011 LE 1B

Went to Home Depot to pick up a couple of bolts then remembered Jack's post about a deal on Weller SR so I headed down the road to Tower. Seeing the 2011 FR on the shelf was a nice surprise.

Picked up a couple of handles of 'old-label' Weller 12yo the other day.

Finally got my party source package. Been sitting there a few months waiting on the new Abraham bowmen batch.

No need to sit on the fence waiting to pull the trigger on the TPS AB once barrel #2 was made available. Strike while the iron is hot...and this stuff is. Got mine a couple weeks ago but still savoring a bottle of batch #1. Mmmm, so good.

This is going to make my stocking up for the End Times that much more expensive.

Yeah I had no idea barrel #2 was out and available. Just read it in the tasting note thread for this. Odd b/c I have had half a dozen emails with PS waiting on more AB once the first batch went. They never mentioned it. I even had several other bottles sitting at the store waiting for AB to come in so I can ship out at once.

Guess I missed out and barrel #1 and now #2. At least I have 2 of barrel #3 and it is tasty.

Kevin,

What is the proof on #3? I got what I think was #2.

Distilled 3/14/01

Bottled 5/13/11

138.8

At work but just called the wife to have her check.....

sticker reads:

01-c14 barrel #3

138.8 proof

looks like same proof as #2??

[BradleyC]

That definitely sounds like a different bottling. Mine does not mention barrel 3. What are the odds of 2 barrels having the exact same proofs?

[HP12]

Oh, oh, we might have an AB controversy / conspiracy brewing.

We might want to continue this subject on the AB thread...

[jburlowski]

No controversy... just as I figured, the "barrel #3" and "barrel #1" (which appears on TPS sticker on the side of the bottle) are part of the rickhouse location numbering. Just confirmed this with Jay Erisman. Barrel #2 (and there are only three barrels available) will be coming some time later.

[BradleyC]

Ok, so barrel 3 was released before 2. I didn't notice the PS sticker at first, but I just took a look at it is barrel 3. I got mine a month ago or so when HP12 first posted they were back in stock and before they were available online. I just assumed that was barrel 2 and barrel 3 is what recently popped up online.

[hectic1]

nothing fancy but a couple very good bottles of whiskey were added today: 2 Rittenhouse BIB's and a 04 WSR liter...

[emr454]

Got me a bottle of Fighting Cock and a bottle of Mellow Corn. I'm glad I have found a source for MC close by. This is my first round with the kickin' chicken as well!
