Wryguy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 A bottle of Ten High Ten. Never seen it before, looked like a new bottle, and it was 15.99. Barton distilled. Also got lucky and found a BMH16 that was priced reasonably IMO @150. Apparently she was special ordered a couple years back, and when she wasn't picked up she was forgotten in the back. The owner said he had just put her out on the shelf for the first time last week. I took her home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alden Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I took a day off. Today was a bourbon buying moratorium. A hiatus, if you will. A sabbatical from purchasing whiskey. It should end soon. I predict sometime early next week. I know where I can find some interesting ryes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJND Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Picked up a Turkey Rare Breed for $35 which is the cheapest I've found up here. I've never had it before but figured I shouldn't pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wryguy the Ten High Ten is worth it for it's uniqueness though there's a reason it didn't sell well enough to stay in the lineup.I won't question your comment the BMH 16 yr at $150 was worth it to you even though I would not have paid that much. The first bottle of BMN 16 I bought was $34.95 and I got it for a friend who believed 'older is better' when it comes to whisky. Shared it with him and others but passed on subsequent bottles even before the price got higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryguy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) The BMH16 was something that I passed on a couple occasions before because I was convinced that I could find it for under a hundred and then it disappeared. I realize its a bit of a premium but I have had to stare at multiple bottles of the stuff that I can't own for long enough that I'm just happy to cross it off the list.

Trey Manthey Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I ordered a bottle of Hirsch 22 this morning, only to have the store call me back an hour later to tell me "some gentleman from California got the last one."

Wryguy Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 was it a store in CT? :cool: Glad to see poaching is bicoastal. For some reason the Hirsch 22 didn't really move around here. I've got a couple bunkered and have 'gifted' a couple in the last year, and left a couple overpriced ones behind. Would have nabbed another at that price though. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettckeen Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 A bottle of Ten High Ten. Never seen it before, looked like a new bottle, and it was 15.99. Barton distilled. . I've been drinkin ten high 10 for the past week or so. Old school piney tastey, old growth woody barton. The stuff I've been drinking (distilled in 1980) is super tasty and a great example of old growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I purchased a EWSB 1998 and EWSB 1998 gift set today. The first bottle was on a shelf 10 feet off the ground. When he pulled it down for me, I could then see the gift set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelturtle1 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Grabbed a Templeton Rye and an EC12BP, I had no interest in it until I got a taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryguy Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Grabbed a Templeton Rye and an EC12BP, I had no interest in it until I got a taste.A barrel proof that you were into? Now I'm really intrigued. That EC18 sample @166 proof was one of the best tastes of whiskey I've ever had. I really want the EC12BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I've been drinking (distilled in 1980) is super tasty and a great example of old growth.I'm thinking this is a more recent bottling, looks too clean, and the bottom of the bottle has a 12, making me think it is a 2012 bottling. I know nothing about how to date a bottle of this stuff, but I remember reading somewhere that it was discontinued, but maybe it came back. I hope it tastes the way you described Brett. Sounds like it would be right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compliance Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 After missing out on some ECBP today I took home an OGD114 instead. Sipping it now and all the sudden i'm not so sad anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
