What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2013

[bourbonfoot]

A buddy of mine was working in the southern part of the state yesterday and ventured in TN. Brought back some great stuff for me:

OWA 107 Single Barrel Store Selection

EC12 Store Selection

4R Barrel Proof Private Selection

Weller 12

Needless to say I was pretty excited about all of these, being in a control state.

Managed to score a PHC 7 online, and Stagg Jr. magically appeared at my local ABC store.

Another big day, problem is have bought everything on my "to buy" list!

1 Stagg Jr. took a sip from one i bought yesterday and grabbed another today

1 Kentucky Spirit dusty, bottled in '01

2 Charter 101, also dusty

1 Weller Special reserve with 7 year age statement

1 gift pack of old forester 75th anniversary with 375ml

All in all it was a hot (stagg jr) and dusty day!

Well I managed to unload the haul from the KBF without getting divorced. Step 1. So here's what happened:

FRSmBLE13 - More than a few

FR 40th

FR OESV GS

FR OBSF PS x2

FR OESF PS

Booker's - 7 year 2 months and 7 year 5 months

OFBB13

PHC4

Old Fitz DSP-16

WFE 11 Year

WTR101 x2

EWSB13

Powers John's Lane 12 Year

OWA 7 Year 375ml

Beam 175 month 1973 decanter

And a ****load of beer. The amount of beer that makes your wife say "we need to get a beer fridge".

Thanks to the wonderful retailers in KY and the excellent friends I've made here on the board for making this haul a reality.

Picked up some:

OFBB13 42$

JPS18 Batch#6 88$, was suprised to see it! Left one on the shelf as well!

Was trying to hold out for some BTAC but have heard a lot of good things on the OFBB and love the JPS18.

[Old Dusty]

Noah's Mill......yea I know, NAS mystery juice. But this one I have been drawn to for some time and it is rumored to be a four grain. I found a dusty bottle that appears to have been produced in '11. Anyone know when the age statement dropped? The rest on the shelf had batch #'s beginning w 12.

A PHC 4 in the wild? That's impressive. Great find!

Enjoy!

A few of those guys had been in captivity for a little while.

Very Special Old Fitzgerald. Good wheated bourbon I dont see on the shelves much.

Another bottle of 4R SmBLE 2013 (125th anniv.) from Eric at P & M Liquors (amazingly he received 2 additional cases this week).

Love VSOF. It also works very well with OWA in the SB Blend.

[snifred]

Finally found some Stagg Jr. I know the reviews have been mixed, but I like it a lot.

Replaced my 'Rare Breed' which is down to the last few pours.

Not one of my very favorite pours, but one I do go to once in a while. It isn't a bad bargain, though not a fab one either. I want to do a side-by-side with this against Old Grand Dad 114. I think that will be interesting. ... One of these days...

[bearmark]

Got a bottle of ECBP batch 2 for $44. I thought this stuff would never reach Texas! Going to do a side-by-side next week with Bambi.

[chrisg]

John B Stetson. My first bottle.

I picked up an Isaiah Morgan Small Batch to put in the bunker. It's distilled at a winery here in WV, aged a very respectable 9 years and bottled at 90 proof. It's expensive, but I decided to make it my "bottle I'm knowingly overpaying for" of the season instead of PHC7. They had it available for tasting at a cigar and bourbon event on Thursday night and I found it to be very delicate and unique. It wasn't popular but I think that's partly personal preferences, but also a lot of guys drinking it on ice while smoking cigars. It's not the type of whiskey that will stand up to that abuse. I gladly drank my share of bottle while they moved on to Old Scout and Russel's 10.

When even Google barely knows anything about a brand.....that's a small brand. Is it a bourbon, rye, etc?

[Yeti]

It's a bourbon. Their first straight bourbon release and it's only 675 bottles.

[TunnelTiger]

A Weller 12 for $22.99

[DogfaceSoldier]

Picked up a bottle of 2013 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon for $43. I can certainly handle that price instead of the $63 I've seen it for in the past. Incredible nose on this bourbon...may have to go back and pick up the other two bottles.

RHF private selection and a 2013 4R SmB.
