What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2013

[393foureyedfox]

Glad you found one, but two hours from home...

eh, I was there anyway....like 2 miles from where I had to go, and I knew it was there....so why not?:grin:

Was visiting friends in Tampa last weekend (who thoughtfully had a bottle of ER10 sitting there for me even though they're not bourbon drinkers) and found a lone Stagg Jr. on a shelf - never see it around here, so I snapped it up. Then today I was on the road for work and made a quick detour to stop by a place I remembered seeing some 4R LE's at in the past. No luck with the 4R's, but decided to pick up a CEHT Single Barrel - that only leaves the Straight Rye and I'll have a full collection of all 6 CEHT's.

Grabbed a weller 12 today.

[White Dog]

Old Rip 10 for $41.99 in the new bottle. Gotta love Wisconsin pricing.

[jkater1]

Picked up a OFBB 13

[DrBob]

On business in Kansas, found a bottle of Weller 12, and Charter 101. Both of which i like, and neither to be found in New Mexico

[Jorgemu1]

Picked up my first PVW 15!

I need to get another Charter 101, it's been a while. I remember that I loved it when I first got it, yet my affinity waned by the time the bottle was empty.

PVW 15 yesterday

[ThirstyinOhio]

I picked up PVW 20, lot b, and the 10 year yesterday and ordered a PVW 15. No luck getting a 23 or the rye this year, but its better than nothing.

Bingstein! ER101 NOLA from 1990. No idea where the juice inside comes from (heaven?), but the NOLAs I've had have been magnificent

Picked up my first PVW 15!

The PVW15 2012 I have open absolutely crushes the several W12s I've had over the past year. I think the extra proof and barrel selection play a much larger role than the additional age. Now, a 65/35 SB blend I put out next to the PVW15 at my birthday in September was actually preferred by some in attendance. It's certainly much better than either Weller product on their own.

How is the Charter 101... I'm from KS and think I've seen it yet I have never tried it... What does it compare to?

Finally introduced myself in the "New to SB" sub today. Now on to today's bidness at hand:

- WSR 7 x2 ($17/ea) - that briefly-available transition edition in the current bottle, but with 7yo on the neck, instead of 90pf on the neck; perhaps from ~09.

- OC10 86 ($33 for the handle) - bottled ~97 IIRC, featuring that nice historic LV designation from the pre-FF years, and a little UD-authored hangtag on it.

Also, in the past few days:

- PVW 20 - mgr of a semi-local store likes the fact that I always have my well-behaved kids w/ me; he hooked me up with the 23 last year.

- GTS - ditto.

- ORVW 10 - ditto, albeit a different mgr, at a different store, on a different day.

- WLW - ditto.

- Balcones Texas Single Malt - a third mgr, a third store, a third day.

- Stagg Jr - ditto; to compare to it's big bro (plus my first bottle of it was devastated on a recent camp-out).

BX is down! Rejoice, cry, or shrug as you see fit.

Can I get a broken/bandaged thumbsup?

LMFAO!

I think that's pretty good news. :cool:

Don't drink a lot of Beam products, but I picked up a bottle of the Jim Beam 7 year old in SC the other day for 17.00 . Only 80 proof but good taste and balance and tough to beat for that price. I'll be buying again.

Johnny Drum Private Stock. Figured I would give it a shot... Any thoughts?

2 AAA 10 Star for $15 each, and a 2013 Larue for $100.

I think the best comparison is Buffalo trace at a higher proof. It is higher rye, but a pretty mellow drinker.

[kcgumbohead]

I intend to try that SB blend. I like W12 very much and IMO it is a huge step up from SR so I can imagine the extra age and proof kick it that much higher. The sum exceeding the parts is one I am looking forward to though. Thanks!!
