What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Summer 2013

[MyOldKyDram]

Oh awesome Ky finally got batch 2?

[joboyd]

Last bottle of Weller 12 on the shelf, and noticed Ardbeg 10 was on sale for $39, so two of those.

[Renegator]

2 x ECBP 2nd release (137proof) although one is for a friend and an Old Forester 86 proof

[Clavius]

Bought a bottle of regular Four Roses Single Barrel today. Don't think I've tried this one in at least a year, possibly longer. Looking forward to cracking it open later tonight.

Yes, but not very much!

[Nillion]

I finally found some ECBP also. 2 bottles of the second release.

[bjhowell]

Stagg Jr. And VOB BIB. Looking forward to trying the stagg jr. and was getting to the end of my last VOB.

In the last week I went for a wheater with the Old Fitz 12 YO and the Four Roses OBSV

The old fitz made me smile and the FR OBSV I am trying tonight. After the Old Fitz it seems almost too sweet but it doesn't finish that way.

Time will tell.

Never heard of Rare Perfection - looks interesting! Can you share any info on it?

[KySalesRep]

Picked up a Weller 12 today, just to add to the bunker.

[DrBob]

grabbed a backup bottle of WT rare breed. Surprisingly mellow stuff at 108 proof.

ECBP 2nd release, just to keep the couple bottles of 1st release company in the bunker. I see a side-by-side on the horizon.

I picked up a few of those Shorewood Willett 10s earlier this summer and cracked one open the other night. It's tasty stuff. The store owner thought it was a wheater but after a couple pours I'm pretty sure it's HH and another SBer thought the same. I initially got really excited because the barrel number was very close to the recent Binnys 8 yr Willett wheater which is amazing. Still, ill gladly drink some barrel proof EWSB. Enjoy!

Looks like a Willet from 2005-ish?

There are 20+ year Willett Ryes out there, but I don't know if there's any on the actual market, or just secondary.

[squire]

Has your associate tried the Saz 18?

[theglobalguy]

Some W12 and OFBB. The W12 is plentiful again....but for how long? (dramatic pause)

Birthday shopping for yourself, are you?

[BAO]

Stagg Jr. Waiting until seasonal allergies subside before cracking it open.

My wife snagged me a ECBP from the HH GS (the beauty of living in Louisville) but I figured I had to go for the BB!

It doesn't quite have as much bite as some of the high-rye bourbons I've been drinking but it has loads of caramel in my few tastings thus far - it's quite good.

Have you seen a Willett FE Rye in higher years? I have a 4 that is good and a 10 year Bourbon that is very, very good. I imagine a higher aged rye would be splendid. I have an associate who is a big fan of ryes and I was thinking of procuring something nice for him.

I have seen some in my bunker ;-) There's Saz18, VWFRR, and Rittenhouse 21 still either available or about to hit the shelves in the near future if you're looking for these older ryes. We should bring some bottles together and have a tasting!

Josh-

PM me for details.

In a moment of weakness arranged for a OFBB '13 from BX. Supposedly our state's allotment this year is last year's release.
