What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Spring 2013

[jcg9779]

Based on SMOWK's recommendation I picked up a current (meaning 2012) OGD 114 even though I have a few in the bunker that I bought in 2010/2011. He swears that stuff bottled in the past year tastes different than stuff bottled even a couple of years ago. He's consumed enough of it that I would guess he knows!

I see Ritt a lot here. What does it stand for?

Is it a bourbon? I'm guessing not, but that it is close. I've never heard of it.

Rye whiskey. Great value and highly recommended.

[Alden]

Thanks! I'll look for it. I've heard Templeton is good too.

If you're interested in rye, grab a bottle ASAP. The price is right and the quality is fantastc.

Templeton is very mild compared to Rittenhouse. Go with the Ritt but make sure you get the 100 proof bottled in bond, not the 80 proof stuff. Ritt BIB is bold and tasty.

[omgmarclol]

i'll cosign with unclebunk alden. great value in the ritt bib.

OGD114, to many people saying good things about it, peer pressure got to me and I bought a bottle.

Best regards, Tony

So, this topic comes up every day here?

Is it always started by the same person?

There is a fellow who mentions Grand Dad regularly, one would think he likes the stuff.

People post in these threads regularly but they're not created each day - they are created when the season changes, which happens to have been today. They're created by whoever makes the first post after remembering it's time for a new one.

Happy Spring!

Picked up a Willett RR, 10 yo, gold wax, @ 127.9 proof. Dubbed Lion's Share Vol. 1 on the back, for whatever that's worth.

[squire]

Donno what it's worth, how does it taste?

$37 here. Barrel strength, unchillfiltered. Maybe not quite the deal that the EC12 will be, but not too bad a price at all, IMO.

[GaryT]

Picked up a WTRRSB. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about opening a WT product, and hope this is a sign of times to come!

[thiemb]

TPS is the best. The John J Bowman barrel #45s that I ordered just two nights ago arrived today. One went straight to the bunker and the other is getting opened tonight.

[LostBottle]

I snagged a Ritt 25 at $145. At that price, I had no choice but to pull the trigger.

Definitely! I just paid $180 two weeks back. Good find.

And $37 for a 10 year Willet release sounds like a good deal. I think I paid $50+ for a 9 year last fall.

[LostBottle]

Now I'll just keep my fingers crossed I got one of the really good barrels.

[Old Dusty]

Found age stated WellerSR so grabbed a couple. May go back and get more since the 7's have all but disappeared. At $15.99 ea hard to say no.

Picked up a bottle of Old Medley and Bowman Brothers small batch
