Flyfish Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Went to party source this morning with hopes of maybe getting a bottle of the BTAC. Got there at 8:10 and they were already sold out. Apparently that little blurb they said about a 2 bottle max and trying to get this stuff to "as many bourbon fans as possible" was pure b.s., as I saw several people wandering around the store with cases of the stuff (not that I got there in time to get any anyway, but still...). All I came away with was a bottle of weller 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 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.

Moretorque05 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Decided to try Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Also picked up Colonel E.H. Taylor sour mash and the awesomeness of the Willet Single barrel reserve 1.75L bottle suckered me in.Last week was Single Oak Barrel #4 and some Eagle rare for regular drinking.

dhedrick Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Picked up a bottle of ER10 today. Headed to Binny's in Buffalo Grove tomorrow and will definitely pick something up (maybe a few somethings depending on price) - any suggestions?

smokinjoe Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 A couple of VG Foxes, and an Old Carter 12. Tasting the OC now, and it is quite good. Big sweetness up front, but the 12 years of influence in the barrel tones it down nicely at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Bonded Rittenhouse (the regular issue), distilled at B-F per the rear label.This bottle is particularly good. The last one was coarse in texture, spirity (but still good). This one is smooth as glass despite 100 points of proof. Perilously drinkable, to borrow a term from the late drinks writer Michael Jackson.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQ Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I now have a bottle of Parker's Heritage cognac barrel finished bourbon, looking forward to tasting this one. A bottle of Bowman barrel strength rye, Lot 01-C-14, barrel no. 2, 134.6 proof, distilled 3-14-01 and bottled 5-12-11. Lastly, a bottle of BT bourbon cream liqueur, never tried it and with the holidays on the way seemed like a good bottle to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaJeff Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I picked up a bottle of Very Special Old Fitz 12. I've never had it before, looking forward to giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronWF Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Picked up a bottle of ER10 today. Headed to Binny's in Buffalo Grove tomorrow and will definitely pick something up (maybe a few somethings depending on price) - any suggestions?I was just at that store the other day. Other than a few bottles that I've not seen in other Binny's (one I bought, one I felt was over-priced), their selection of whiskey was pretty thin. If you can, drive a few further miles east to Highland Park - much better selection. As for Buff Grove, get one of the FRSB they have in the case. I'd recommend OBSQ if they have it.The one I got was Vintage 21 bourbon. From what I've gathered, the 17 was the best of the three, but I've tasted the newer Vintage 17 and did not care for it. As far as I know there's no newer Vintage 21 release. I'm a big fan of the Vintage 23 rye, so we shall see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblick Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I picked up a bottle of WT Rye today, because my open bottle that gets used for Old Fashioneds is almost empty. Sure, I still have a few in the bunker but what the hell, this stuff is cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debated a bottle of Stagg that they had, but decided to pass - may be kicking myself later, but as usual, funds are limited.Rumor is they'll have Weller next week & Van Winkle mid November, so I'll be back again soon...

RegChumpington Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Weller '11, a K&L Dailuaine, and a couple Russian River beers. (Consecration and Damnation). How is the EH Single Barrel? I have not seen it anywhere. I really dig the Sour Mash release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
