What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? - Winter 2011/2012

[jkater1]

Quite a haul. How many places did you have to hit up for that find?

Just one, ended up cleaning them out. Every time I had then pull a bottle off the shelf the others looked lonely, next thing you know they were all in my car.

Lucked into one each of LotB, PVW 20, PVW 23 and PVW Rye; rounded out by a bottle of Dewar's Signature 'marryed' scotch; two bottles of Marie Duffau Armagnac; a couple of nice ales.

Dropped off some dry cleaning after a long business trip and stopped by my local store for a quick look. Nothing much of interest (never is, but I lucked into some Pappy there a few years ago). I did notice that all the WSR now has "90 Proof" on the neck rather than "Aged 7 Years". All, that is, but one handle hidden in the back of the row. So I bought it. Not that I need it, but what the hell, it was only $20.

Got a Black Maple Hill 18 Rye. Heard good things about this.

[M14Shooter]

Picked up some EC-18 for $29.99 on sale and a bottle of Eagle Rare for$22.49.I like it when good Bourbon goes on sale.This gives me a reason to restock the bunker.The problem is the bunker is bursting at the seams.

Grabbed a bottle of Eagle Rare Single Barrel 10 year. This was the last of the recommended bourbons from my SB Newbie thread that I have not yet tried.

Grabbed three bottles of the WLW 2008 sitting on the shelf.

Picked up a bottle of Binny's WSR and a bottle of Ritt BiB yesterday.

1x OGD BIB 375ml (about an inch of evaporation, but I took the chance)

I bought a bottle of 2009 Four Roses Marriage. Haven't cracked it open yet. Are all bottles signed by the Master Distiller?

[DaveOfAtl]

What is WLW going for in your area?

It was $89, which is pretty high I think.

Picked up OG BIB And thomas H handy straight rye. One bottle of handy left on shelf.

[Flyfish]

Rittenhouse 100

AAA 10YO

A handle each of:

VOB 100

OWA

WT 101

And a very pleasant surprise--Kirkland Small Batch 7 YO at Costco.

The Kirkland is evidently made by Beam and at $20/liter for 103 proof I think it is a genuine bargain. The nose opens up nicely after a few minutes in the glass. I get the usual caramel and vanilla, then some cloves and a strong shot of honey. The mouthfeel is quite full--which is important to me. And it improves with just a couple drops of water. (Haven't tried it on the rocks yet.) A sip or two reveals some orange peel, coarsely ground black pepper as well as the spices found in fruit cake. Next time I'm at a Costco that sells spirits, I'll be getting more.

Got a Vintage 17year for Christmas. Just opened it...mighty fine.

[mosugoji64]

Bottle of Ritt BIB thanks to a generous SB'er. Thanks, Geoff! :grin: Hopefully I'll have some time to give it a try this weekend.

Bit the bullet and bought a Jefferson's 17 that was sitting on the shelf. Had been looking at it for a couple weeks and finally just went for it at $100.

Which batch#? I have a #5 and like it a lot, although my TPS selection 18 is even better.

Package arrived at work today:

2011 WLW

2010 WLW

I thought the ER would be 2011 but it was 2010. Think I'm done with BTAC and ORVW hunting until holiday season again haha...

After purchasing some of the higher end pours I took to the bottom shelves of a store I have not been to before. Brought home with me a JW Dant BIB DSP-KY-31, Old Forester Signature BIB, and a Rebel Yell (just for the hell of it). Bunkering back the Forester and Rebel, but cracked open the Dant. Must say, this is a pretty good pour. I'm pleasantly suprised.

On the way back, stopped by one of my usuals and grabbed an EZra B Single Barrel. Its bunkered back too until I clear out some of the open bottles.

[dohidied]

Grabbed an OWA and a WSR. The OWA is for some SB Blend with W12. The WSR is for the hell of it. I've never tried it, so I might as well buy one before the NAS starts showing up.

It is a batch 7.
