What Bourbon Did You Purchase today? - Summer 2012

[GaryT]

Hopefully a few of these will make an appearance at the next GBS get together!

I think a few will, although the 25 yr rye might not at the next couple (not sure when that one gets cracked).

[ThirstyinOhio]

I picked up a JPS 18 and looking forward to cracking it open this weekend.

[MyOldKyDram]

Abraham Bowman 18 yo tonight.

Abraham Bowman 18 yo tonight.

One of my favorites. Surprised there is some still around. It's not the 17 year (which was barreled in 1994 and bottled in 2012, but is a few months shy of 18)?

[Special Reserve]

PHC Wheat for the bunker. I don't normally bunker stuff but I couldn't pass it up at $56.99.

Wow! What a great deal on a great bourbon.

Nope, you are totally right. Math is obviously not my strong suit. And I haven't even started drinking. 17 yo it is.

[jburlowski]

Just got my Smooth Ambler Very Old Scout in the mail. It might be a while until I open it, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Vovan]

Elijah Craig 12 yo. I'll give it a try before I start looking for EC 18.

They are two different animals imo. If you like could have little bearing on whether you will like the other.

Today I picked up an Astor wines private selection 9 year Willett bourbon and a bottle of Vintage 21 rye for a great price.

[MyOldKyDram]

4R SmB LE 2012 hooray!

[theglobalguy]

ORVW 90 proof and a Willet 4 yr Rye.

[Trey Manthey]

Willett 18 year, Barrel 8550, 118.4 proof (Dug'z & Willy'z selection)

I've been looking high and low for a specific Willett 18 at 142 proof, but I stumbled on this and thought I'd give it a whirl.

[Roadsaw]

Picked up a Larceny, High West American Prairie and High west Double Rye with my Binnys 15% off today.

Placed my first online order with The Party Source today. Been craving some of their private bottling of AAA 10 yr, so I ordered 3 of those. They also had their 4RSB private barreling in, and even with shipping it was still cheaper than what I see it hear in the ATL, so I figured I'd grab one. Finished the order off with 1 bottle each of 4RSB 2012 LE and Smooth Ambler Very Old Scout. Haven't come across the 4RLE around Atlanta and the Scout isn't making its way to GA. Looking forward to receiving my order. They were first class in person, so I'm excited to do business with them again.

I'm a huge fan of TPS. And I think they do a great job with their private barrelling of FRSB. One night, while REALLY enjoying this offering, I decided to order a case of it. And at $28.50 a bottle, it's a no brainer right?

Well, last month I did an inventory of my bunker. I counted 19 bottles of the standard TPS FRSB. What the hell!!! So I got to thinking ...how do I have so much of it? Apparently, every time I would place an order for the stuff that they limit how many you can purchase , I would buy a bottle or 2 of this to make shipping more reasonable.

DOH..!!!!! Oh well, one can never have enough good bourbon right?

I picked up a PHC 2012 while passing through Owensboro, KY on Friday. After tasting it tonight, I agree with the reviews I have read about this being an excellent bourbon.

[bllygthrd]

Made a side trip to KY yesterday and picked up:

AAA 10YR

WLW 12YO

Larceny

I was going to do a Larceny to round out my order, but figured I'd snag one when they get to Georgia. Shouldn't be too long, figured the 4R TPS would be one I'd regret not getting especially when Larceny will be here soon. Besides, everyone seems to be saying the Larceny is good, but not WL Weller good, so hopefully I'll find it locally with the rebate I keep hearing about.

I traveled 50 miles to the other side of town yesterday to a liquor store I had yet to visit. Nice selection with good prices. I ended up buying a CEHT BP and an OGD 114.

I've tried austerity but it didn't work all that well. TPS is sending their Four Roses single barrel, a Four Roses 2012 LE1B, a Willett 11 year (372), and a Smooth Ambler Very Old Scout (14).

I was just poking around the TPS website and didn't see any Very Old Scout...what am I missing?

TPS was down to 4 bottles when I placed my order. I'm guessing they sold out.
