What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2013

[DBM]

This could be my best two day haul ever. Lots of driving involved, but very happy with the results. Especially the Knob Creek 50ml.

Impressive haul there... Oh happy days!

I'll be one bottle lighter tomorrow, but I'm not complaining.

Do you have a picture of the label or batch #?

Love this whisky!

Batch# XO-1 (or X0-1? No line through it, so assuming an O vs a 0)

Probably my palate tonight, but seems heavier on the rye than prior tastes I've had (peat smoke definitely there, but could've been a mingle of rye and Islay scotch without any bourbon). But tasty nonetheless!

I believe that's our first SB sighting of the new batch that's enjoyed "extra" finishing in French and Hungarian wine barrels!

Damn gotta remember to keep an eye out for these.

Really! Wow - they had a mixture of batches on the shelf (I don't recall the others now, something like 13B##?) Would love to do a blind SBS (maybe at some GBS meeting someone else will have another Campfire - hint hint )

Ok, I'm in big trouble with my wife, 2xFR125s, PVW15, lot b, ORVW10, ER17, and GTS. I wanted to say no but it felt so good saying yes! Can't wait to open the Fr125 to compare with the SmB12.

Dude... Your not supposed to tell the wife... Leave the bottles in your vehicle until she is not home or asleep... Then add to the bunker.. Haha

if the wife knew how much i spent in the last month she would kill me....

True, although the day comes when you have to buy a temperature controlled storage unit I remember when I bought my current cabinet and said "This will hold over 100 bottles!! Not that I'd ever have that many" It isn't filled . . . but when that day comes . . . I'm in trouble

Got some Abraham Bowman Gingerbread... I might have buyers remorse about this one, but some members have told me it's great stuff

Been waiting for this to hit Atlanta so I can try it.

Be interested in hearing your thoughts (and where you got) on the gbread, Bing.

This, this, 1,000 times this.

Nice.. I did that already only except with cigars.. Small humi, large humi, locker at b&m, and finally a 50qt cooler packed to the gills!!! Time for a second cooler or upgrade to a 150qt.

I don't care what bad things people say about control states as I got hooked up with a GTS '13 and an ER17 '13 from one of my local stores.

I figure I'll wind up buying a second (probably same size as I REALLY don't think I'd ever have 200 bottles) and putting it in the basement. Maybe paint it the same color as the walls and hope she doesn't notice

Bowman Gingerbread. Hat tip to Bingstein!

Perhaps that needs to be trademarked Bingsteinâ„¢? Hah!

No, this time I was just giving him kudos for the heads up. The Bingstein comments the other day were;

- "Bingstein" = FR LEsB '13

Due to his prolific stockpiling of that fine nectar.

That's funny - thx for the explanation.

Not sure what "batch", but it's 133.2 proof.

I left one on the shelf.

Not 1 or 2. 134.2 and 137 respectively IIRC.

Pleasant surprise yesterday. I was able to pick up a FR 125th. Can't wait to open this up!

High West Bourye. Boo-ya! Bingstein! (did I use that correctly?)

Actually, I've never had it before, and just went with the ETL and Ritt BIB last night (the Bourye is still sitting in my trunk, under the "wait until your wife is asleep and then sneak it into the bunker" theory espoused by others on this site). But I've heard good things. Have I also heard that it's hard to find now? I could have grabbed multiple bottles.
