What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? - Fall 2012

[atfree]

WLW 2012...finally!

One of the local stores squirreled their allocation away for a couple of weeks before offering it for sale. It pays to pester!

[bgageus]

Visiting Family in south Texas and stocked their cabinet so I come more often. Found a OWA old label handle (left one behind and also some 7yr WSR), a Bakers old label, I know nothing about this and would appreciate insight, I think its batch B85-01. and a WRMC Rye, I wasnt planning on buying it, but at $50 for the set, I took a crack.

Picked up a New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon. It's "Indiana Bourbon" aged in Dragon's Milk Barrels. A bourbon finished in a beer barrel that was once a bourbon barrel is pretty meta, but my father inlaw loves Dragon's Milk and he loves whiskey, so I figured he'd dig this. Anyone tried this or heard anything about it?

Haven't tried it, but it sounds interesting.

Got 2 GTS, 2 ER17s, 1 ER10 and a CEHT Tornado survivor delivered today. Bought them all last week when I was on a trip and shipped them to myself. Happy they arrived safe and sound.

[drunk]

Had to leave some great stuff on the shelves including Saz 18, Tornado, FRLE Small Batch '11, but I did manage to walk out with the new Parker's Heritage. Had a quick sip the other night and thought it was pretty damn good. Why does all the good stuff have to come out at the same time?

[RVTsteve]

Grabbed a FRSB LE 2012. At $48 I couldn't pass it up!

[jeanraulmitchell]

From CA to NY to TN to CA, I think I'm finished buying although I am in Nashville for 2 days before flying home.

So far,

A 2012 Sazerac 18, 2 2012 WLWs, 2 Vintage 21 Ryes, 3 B&B's selection of OWA, a PHC 27, a 1st Release PHC 3rd Ed., a PHC 6th release, and a 2006 OF birthday.

[cthomps1]

Was able to land 2 saz 18s, 3 wlw's, and a stagg. Left plenty of other antique collection on the shelf

Holy cow. I hope you didn't leave any on the shelf at that price. And if you did, go back.

I grabbed a bunch of Saz Jr.

That is quite a haul of BTAC. And to think I have to fight for even a single bottle of WLW. Congrats.

Wow, very nice pickup. Hope I just get a few WLW.

Best regards, Tony

Loaded up todat

4 btls ritt rye, Parker's heritage, WLW, handle of Barton 90 proof, ETL, and a knob rye

[DogfaceSoldier]

I picked up a bottle of Parker's Heritage $90...if it would have been a little cheaper, I would have cleared them out.

[nocoins]

Picked up another standard 4RSB. A certain barrel of this has been outstanding, so I have six of them now. To me, the best bottle available under $50, and better than many that cost more.

[RVTsteve]

Pulled the trigger on a BMH 16yr I've been eyeing. I figured it would probably be the only bottle of it I'll see on a shelf. Looking forward to it. An A's win tonight might give me a good reason to open it. (like I need one)

Also grabbed a local bottling of EC12 and a VSOF.

That Baker's is good stuff. It's from the first batch distilled in '85, bottled in '92. I found a bottle of it last year and really enjoyed it - much creamier than any of the more recent Baker's I've tasted. Be careful with the cork, though; mine didn't have a chance and I ended up having to decant the bottle through a coffee filter. You may not be able to avoid the same fate, but at least you'll be prepared!

[Tony]

Went for a bottle of Angel's Envy today, I know some do like it and some do not, so I figured I should give it a shot and see if I have an opinion.

Best regards, Tony

[BigRich]

I grabbed a PHC 2012 (Thanks Joe) and a EC 20 (Thanks Sam) while in Atlanta. Today I swung by and picked up a Blantons, JDSB, Evan Williams Egg Nog, and some pumpkin pie cream liqueur.

Don't judge me.
