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

[MyOldKyDram]

I'll go check it out this weekend. Thanks for the heads up!

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."

About 30 years ago I had a buddy who was originally from Blenheim SC, and back then, the red cap stuff he would bring back from home was DAMN hot. But it's great ginger ale, and in my opinion as far above Vernor's (my second fave) as Bombay Sapphire is above Tanqueray.

[WAINWRIGHT]

RRSB,EWSB '03,W12 and a pair of Bulleit 10yrs.I know the RR hasn't been getting the best praises around here but I had to give it a try for myself.

Check out Red Rock. I think they're based here in Atlanta, but have seen it around the state. Might have some making it down to FL. It is very good and hot real ginger heat. http://www.pipelinebrandsusa.com/soda_brands/red_rock_ginger_ale.html

Went to my local today, and picked up 4 different Julio's Loch & K(e)y society private selections: ETL, 1792, ERSB, and HM BiB. Pretty excited to crack these and see how they stack up to the standard distillery releases.

[squire]

What proof is the 1792?

[Wryguy]

It's 93.7. A "point-proofer".

[LostBottle]

I have a dwindling bottle of Hirsch 21 Rye and have been looking to add a backup to the bunker - one finally arrived today. Man, I love the old Medley stuff.

Jefferson18 in Denver for business

[higgins]

Hit up some stores on a day trip out of town, picked up an EWSB 2001 and Ritt BIB.

[cubacroc]

Four bottles of Pikeville from a local store. The last four bottles from a case the store acquired for a rye tasting event I hosted six years ago. Difficult to understand how the remaining nine bottles lasted all those years. I picked them up one or two at a time. The Louisville hunters must have overlooked the store or were not interested in Pikeville or the Stephen Foster that also remained untouched for years.

[z327]

EWSB 2003 and a Busmills 400th anniversary Irish whiskey.

[Brisko]

Dickel rye and a HH Gold BiB.

[squire]

Gonna vat those two Brisko?

[Brisko]

Gonna vat those two Brisko?

I hadn't thought about that, I bought the Dickel because it's BOTM and was on my list anyway, and the HH, well, I like to keep one of those around, and it was on sale.

But I'll try it... don't know if it will work, the Dickel might get lost in there.

[squire]

I might expend a couple ounces for purposes of research.

[jersey12]

Picked up a FRSmB that came with a flask for $27.99 and a OGD BiB.

[JLH3]

A Weller 12 and my first OGD 114. Looking forward to trying that one

[Meruck]

1792 8yr. and guess what? Its rather good.

[GaryT]

Well - I TRIED to buy some OGD 114, but apparently recent press has resulted in a run on the stores :smiley_acbt:

[Clavius]

Bought a bottle each of Maker's 46 and Four Roses Single Barrel. Haven't had either in a long time.

[camduncan]

I've been wanting a Willett Pot Still since I first saw them in 2008 when in Kentucky. I'm not sure about the juice inside having never tried it, and to be honest was only wanting one as a display/talking piece (sorry if that offends some here) Well they finally made their way to Australia in limited numbers this month so I managed to grab a 750ml bottle. Looks great!

[squire]

Yours is the only opinion that counts Cam.

[black mamba]

I just signed up yesterday so I'm gonna catch up a little. I bought a Taylor Small Batch a couple weeks ago, and a 2002 EWSB three days ago. Neither open yet.

[Cigar Dan]

I had purchased a bottle of PHC 2012 (131.6) from a store that is a couple of hours away from me. Yesterday, a friend who had picked it up for me was passing through and dropped it off.
