What bourbon did you purchase today? Spring 2014

[jmj_203]

Found one ER10SB next to all the new ER10 so picked it up, might never see it again...

A store by my office had about 8 bottles, I didn't grab one though. I'll hope there is some honesty in us still seeing those for awhile with lesser quantities of the non SB bottles. Anyways I was there to grab an OGDBiB handle for $32, to refill my almost empty 750 on the bar. Almost grabbed a Knob Creek single barrel I've never seen before, but haven't heard thoughts so I had to pass at 46.99, for now....

Russell's Reserve 6yr Rye, Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10yr and Jim Beam Signature Craft 12yr.

Diverse selections, sounds good!

Yeah I am still in a buy more than I drink mode.

[mbroo5880i]

But, you will drink it eventually. That's all that matters. The first two are great. I haven't had the Beam Signature but have heard good things. I like variety so the more diverse the options the better.

Let us know how that Johnny drum is, also have been curious about it

Not impressed at all. The nose has a weird vitamin-type smell and the taste is a little harsh. Definitely won't purchase again.

I really like the Beam Signature 12 year. Speaking of Beam, I bought a bottle of Knob Creek for the first time in three years when I pulled into Destin, FL for the holiday weekend.

The only blog I read is Chuck's.

I read squire's blog all the time http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/search.php?searchid=997113

On topic I picked up the first OWA I've seen here in LA in a couple months

[Brisko]

Store selected BT single barrel and (same) store selected 4RSB. May post elsewhere about these.

Last week, Old Fitz BIB. Much improvement over the past few years.

[KJND]

Store select KCSB. Look forward to cracking this one!

Pulled off the interstate a few miles S of Cincinnati to fill up at a Kroger gas station. Saw a Kroger liquor store and figured I head in to see if they had anything. Found a Bookers round table on the shelf for sub 50. Figured I'd snag it. Hitting the party source in the morning on the way to Dayton.

KCSB is pretty good, and a great value. Very similar to Booker's to me, but that price is crazy. Here, KCSB can regularly be found for $36, and Bookers for $43-46. If you like one, youd like the other.

I picked up another 4R BS OBSQ and added a OBSF for good measure.

WTRB 112.8 has arrived so one came home with me for tasting. All in the name of science of course.

[petrel800]

Which batch? Just curious if the new stuff is hitting. Any sub-$50 Bookers is a score these days!

[petrel800]

Grabbed a party source 1792. Haven't ever really been a fan of the 1792, but the man at the tasting counter made me take a whiff out of the bottle. Definitely unique. Has a banana thing going on, so I tell him I'll try a sample. A little thin, but definitely a unique selection. Otherwise, the party source is a sad place these days compared to the good ole days. Guess its a testament to the popularity of the spirit now.

In NOLA for the weekend and spotted a bottle of Stagg Jr in a wine shop near my daughter's place. It was nice to grab another bottle at a decent price.

better wording

Grabbed a bottle of ER with single barrel on the neck label since it's a collector's item now.

[squire]

I suppose now we'll be calling that the rare one.

[mbroo5880i]

My guess is we will see a transition to less standard SB bottlings. However, there should still be retailer select SB bottlings, which is what I buy anyway.

Got these two oldies today:
