[Roc-A-Fella_1]

Blanton's Straight from the Barrel.

Picked up a couple EC18 for $37. Cheapest, by far, that I've ever seen it.

[bigtoys]

​a couple of Bowmans

wonder how this will differ from the Party Source bottle I got a couple of months ago. Distilled same day; almost same proof.

Binny's on left, TPS on right

WOW - great snag!!! I need to spend more time on that auction site!

Yesterday my work took me a few hours from home to a lab in OKC I haven't used before. About a block away I noticed a decent sized, but sorta run-down looking, liquor store. Of course I had to investigate to see what I could find.

I finally, after looking for months in countless stores, found some Weller 12. They had 5 bottles, I snagged them all. They also had 1 bottle of Wild Turkey Rye 101 ($17!!) that I promptly grabbed as well to add to the others I have bunkered. I also grabbed a 1.75L OWA that was very dusty & had the age statement on the label, "Seven Summers Old" and all that.

I walked out of there with my finds, giggling like a little girl! :yum:

Don't forget to pick me up on the way. That photo made me want to cry!:grin:

Picked up a bottle of Woodford (Kentucy Derby bottle), WT Rye 101, Balcone's Brimstone, and since I enjoy an occasional Irish whiskey, a bottle of Jameson's Black Barrel.

I love the DSP-KY-16 Old Fitz BIB, but realize the chances of keeping a steady stock of that are not good. Therefore, I bought my first Old Fitz BIB DSP-KY-1 today. These seem to be disappearing from the shelves around here and not being replenished.

Hopefully the Longhorns can have a decent season this year.

OGD BiB while on vacation in Cape May NJ - out of the 'fridge this is nice while grilling up the local catch ...

Busy day. The wife wanted me out of the house for a couple hours so she could clean. She gave me $100 to head north and buy some whiskey. Picked up:

ER 10

ETL

Weller 12

OWA

KC Reserve

Willet Rye

JPS 18

I now have two batches of JPS 18 (14 & 18) - Side by side a thought the 14 was slightly better. Also going to do my first SB blend. By the way, what does SB stand for???

[jersey12]

I assume you're joking but it stands for straight bourbon

[savagehenry]

Your assumption was incorrect, but thanks. Now that I know what it means I say that is a lame thing to call it. I'm hereby referring to it has Supreme Bodacious.

I picked up a bottle of 1792 Ridgemont Reserve and a 50 of Bulleit. Never tried either and these are my first bottles from the respective distilleries. As far as I know 1792 is the only Barton product sold in my area. I had a pour of the 1792 this evening and found it to be enjoyable. Had a sweet vanilla/burnt sugar nose and a taste of leather and oak. A decent 8 year old but not sure about the $30 cost. I wish I had a bottle of Beam Black on hand for comparison, if I recall correctly Beam had a similar taste and was $10 less.
