smokinjoe Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Well, dummy me. Forgot to get a replacement for my recently departed OGD114. Learned this the hard way when I went to hit it last night. . So, picked one of these beauties up today. Also, since I have so thoroughly enjoyed my recently purchased bottle of Leopold's ASBW, I decided to get 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbon Boiler Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 A few days late, but last week I picked up 2 bottes of WT101. Didn't have any around, and with a group expected in a few weeks I need to have all the staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Tonight I got a bottle of E.H Taylor Single Barrel BIB bourbon. I bought a bottle of the original release earlier this year and had to get a bottle of this. I like old Taylor a lot and think the brand has a great future if it is done right!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroker394 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Evan Williams Single Barrel 86.6 proof. Barreled on 11-10-99. Barrel No 403. Bottled on 6-1-09. This is my first bottle of Evan Williams and you can see that I have already "popped the cherry". I normally drink Bulleitt but wanted to try something new. I like it.

humchan2k Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 1x WLW 117.9 proof (is this the 2007 bottling?) Where in God's name do you live such that you can just walk into a store in 2011 and grab a 2007 WLW!?!? That's SO unfair! LA (hell, the entire west coast) never has amazing finds like this! For the record, very well done, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's SO unfair! LA (hell, the entire west coast) never has amazing finds like this! For the record, very well done, Sir. So unfair, I'd have to agree except that I did exactly that within the past year. This was in a store that didn't have any WLW or BTAC on its shelves then one day a WLW 117.9 appeared. I understand why people really love this bottle. Its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's SO unfair! LA (hell, the entire west coast) never has amazing finds like this! For the record, very well done, Sir. I'd beg to differ...some of the best "dusty" finds posted here have come from the west coast and LA specificly...you're not looking hard enough as I know for a fact that there are plenty of "dusty" bottles sitting on the shelves of stores in the LA area. I picked up a bottle of 2010 WLW yesterday...it was the last one that I know of in the area and I hadn't gotten one yet. I guess I'll continue my WLW collection for another year.

SMOWK Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 So unfair, I'd have to agree except that I did exactly that within the past year.Me three. Found a lonely 2007 WLW on a shelf not long ago. It was the only BTAC there. I haven't opened it yet, but it sure looks tasty. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkersback Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Could probably put this in the "Wee Dram category, but...Went the Canadian route and got a 375 of Canadian Club 10 Year, and 750 of Crown Royal Cask 16 750.Haven't spent much time with the CC10: the one pour I had was so-so, which is what I expected. It'll be a decent mixer, or one to put on the rocks while I'm cooking, cutting onions and not thinking about nosing fine whiskey.The CRCask16 is a great whiskey. A splash of water really took the winey note over to a sweet, creamy, great pour.I wish more distilleries were willing to do some aging in cognac or sherry casks like some of the Canadians and many of the scotches do.

BFerguson Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Not today, but his past weekend. Made the Binny's South Loop run as the misses and I went into the city to see my sister for a surprise pop-in and take out for some fun this past Sunday. Having never been there before, I have to say, it's a very nice store.Could have easily spent more time there but we were on a limit.My main focus were items that I couldn't normally get ahead me. So I think i ended up with a pretty nice assortment.x2-Angels Envyx1-Weller 12yrx1-ET Lee-Binny's pickx1-Mellow Cornx1-High West Rendevous Ryex1-Forty Creek Double Barrelx1-Herbsaint 100pf-Definately a touch nicer than the 90pfx1-Bitter Truth-Jerry Thomas'sx1-Luxardo Cherries.It was a ball. :grin: Plus some wine for the misses. My surprise score of the trip was a bottle of Weller SR, white paper label, that I found in a local store by my folks. It was the only one they had. Bummer......And one for the dusty catalog. When we got into the folks saturday night, I was planning on having a beer before bed, as my dad usually has a couple in the fridge. Sadly, no beer. So, I decided to raid the basement. My folks have never been big spirit drinkers, but they do have a couple of bottle holed away that haven't seen the light of day in decades. So up comes a bottle of Seagram's VO 6yr Canadian Whiskey. Circa 1984 according to the tax stamp on the neck. I figured this was the safer one to take, I'd probably catch a bit more hell if it was the Crown or Chivas from roughly the same time period. Light straw colored in the glass. Weak nose, very mellow and light in the mouth. Medium finish. Not what i usually go for, but it was very pleasant after a long day of visiting the BIL and a couple hours on the road after that. This also got brought home. Not the fanciest pour, but one full of memories.....B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I think I can still find a 2007 WLW unless Bob took it. The 2008 and 2009's were extremely scarce and was only able to find one of each.Last thing I picked up a few days ago were an OWA107 in the old bottle and an ORVW10/107.
