What bourbon did you purchase today? - Winter 2012/2013

[BFerguson]

For what is in the Classic cask 22, i would have probably paid double it if I ever saw one. A true rarity.

Nice pick up.

Plus a couple of handles of the EW BIB.....East Tennessee/Western NC was VERY good to me!

[devillighter]

I picked up a Four Roses OESO Single Barrel Store Selection and a Rittenhouse Rye 21 year (Barrel 28).

Also found three more Bourbon Heritage Collection Mini Sets.

Broke the bank yesterday!

Found some semi-dusty bottles while traveling. The Classic Cask is a 22 year rye bottled in 2004 ($60). Never heard of it, but seemed like it was worth a shot. The WTKS is a dark smooth top bottled in September of 2003.

I agree with Brent, I would also have paid double what you did for the CC22. The stuff was bottled by KBD and is probably Medley rye from the same set of Barrels as the Hirsch 22. I have never tasted it, but would fully expect it to be phenomenal rye.

I can't say for sure what the suggested retail price was on these old CC ryes, but I've seen the CC 21 at three different stores in three different parts of the country priced between $100-130.

Grabbed a bottle of very special old fitz today. Truly neither, HH product. It's good, as are many others in the same $$ range.

First trip to The Party Source was yesterday - what a great place. Grabbed Ancient Ancient Age 10 year and Evan Williams 2003 SB. Would have walked away with far more but tried to restrain myself given some recent large purchases.

[squire]

Can't have too much AAA 10 year, I'm surprised that one is still around given the current trend toward dropping age statements.

Picked up a bottle of Whipper Snapper after curiosity killed me and VSOF. I left behind the current and last year's PHC a couple weeks ago and hoped I'd be able to stock up this trip... Silly me.

[higgins]

Thought that I was going to get some Weller 12 today, but no such luck. I still had a pretty productive shopping trip, though.

[squire]

Tullamore 12, good choice, Eirinn go Braugh.

*Shudder*. That stuff's nasty. I've had a bottle open for going on two years now and I haven't managed to life more than an inch or two off the top. I guess it needs a revisiting at this point...

100% agreed. Had a bottle last September and found it revolting. But a friend went through it fast enough.

I guess it snapped his whip.

Stumbled upon a 2012 WLW and Saz18. Left behind 3 THHs and 1 ER17. Might go back for the ER.

I was amazed the WLW was around $60 and the Saz around $65, but the other two were 70+?

I'd go back for the ER17 for sure.

I bought what I hope is a mid-shelf offering at the bottom shelf price of $10.99/ 750 mL. Evan Williams 1783.

[squire]

And that's exactly whatcha got.

Old Charter 10 year and Blenheim Ginger Ale (red cap). mmmmm

[smknjoe]

Blenhiem original is good stuff. Special order around here. Now I know what to do with the rest of the Charter 12yr. Classic 90. Thanks bing!

[unclebunk]

Okay. Got my first bottle of Larceny today because it's snowing like hell out there and I needed a nice warmer to keep my spirits up after the fifth time I went out to shovel. I really like this stuff and can't believe it was only $22 on sale. Great deal! No luck though finding the Michter's Original Sour Mash and the OGD 114 was out of stock. Bummer!

[squire]

That's one of the things we miss living in a small town, good ginger ale.

I have to get mine from Fresh Market for (GASP) $9 for a six pack, but it is totally worth it, especially the red cap very spicy one.

[smknjoe]

The red cap is what I call "original". Don't know if it really is. I think they call it "hot" and the other "not so hot." You can order a case from their website for $24 before shipping.

Hot damn! I didn't even know they carried it. I'll gladly pay that price and soon!

As seems to be the case in Kentucky, both with bourbon and ginger ale, the supply was limited and I got the last 6 pack of the red caps. They have the original though, and I could probably spare one of mine. And unlike bourbon, they will be certain to get more in soon.
