Balchinian Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Visited a few stores today in a local town... ended up with a WTAS ($79.99) and a FRSmB 125th ($125) pricey but I've been wanting to try it, and its the first time I've seen it locally.

petrel800 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Grabbed a Weller 12. Opened one last week and was in a store where I needed to make a relationship purchase. They also had a new innis and gunn I hadn't tried so it grabbed that as well.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Been a busy few days on the hunt. Spent the weekend in Chicago with the wife and picked up a SAOS 10yr that I have not seen anywhere here locally. Also managed to pickup a Stranahans Colorado Whiskey for a fellow SBer while there as well. Returned home and picked up a ORVW 10 and an ETL Com today with more hunting set for tomorrow.

BonVivant84 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 One more ECBP for the bunker from a great store who said he only got 2 and he put it aside for me. Didnt really need it but these guys are to me the best store ive ever dealt with and they have always hooked me up with the allocated stuff (MSRP at that) And to make shipping worth it.....not bourbon but grabbed a Green Spot Irish.

scratchline Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 High West Bourye. Mis-priced at 22 bucks but the guy let me have it for that. Is this one back in production? I've only seen the Son of... for quite a while. I'm thinking maybe this got lost in the back of the warehouse or something. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwats7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 picked up a green spot and a smooth ambler 10 yesterday. I grabbed the green spot based on reviews I've read on SB, but after opening it I've decided I'm just really not a big fan of irish whiskey.Also picked up a couple 4R 125th today, at (unfortunately) secondary market prices. I've only had one taste of it before and it was quite possibly my all-time favorite, so I decided it was worth it to grab a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danz Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Re: Green Spot, give the bottle a couple of weeks to see if it grows on you. I enjoyed my initial taste of it and after being open for a week or so, it seems to have settled down a bit and I am really enjoying it (letting it sit in a glass might help, too). I find slightly tart cherry and grape notes on top of the malt basis, from the sherry casks they use.Tasted Jack Daniels regular and Jim Beam White (half bottles), for science, to see if it was right to avoid them for over 20 years. It was. I thought the banana notes people say they detect in JD were an exaggeration, but then I smelled and tasted it. Big artificial banana taffy bomb (on the other hand, I don't usually smell anything in the NY subways, so my sense of smell may be compromised). Jim Beam: straw and slightly sour wild yeast funky notes. Both seemed pretty sweet, although the JD was a little overwhelming. I don't see myself getting more of these, but if I had to pick a winner, I would stick with my college judgment that Jim Beam is more enjoyable.Do people think the more high end Jim Beam single barrel or other variants are worth trying? I have had the Knob Creek single barrel, which is good, but I prefer others at that price range.Finishing with Four Roses Small Batch regular. Much better.

Grain Belt Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Jack and Jim are very maligned on this board. To each their own. Are their better whiskies than those two? Yes. But I'll tell you what, I just love a Jim on the rocks from time to time. It centers me back to my roots. My sister, bless her heart, loves Jack. When we get together I love to share a few pours with her. I don't go out of my way seeking either but once or twice a year I will find 1.75's of Jim for $21 and Jack for $28. You know what I do? I buy them and I DRINK them. No regrets. I firmly believe there are no bad bourbons or Tennessee whiskies. Some are just a little better than others.

scratchline Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 3 more bottles of the Bourye. It was priced like Son of Bourye and has the older whiskey in it so I figured what the heck. I'd pretty much decided to stop buying and just start drinking what I have but you know how that goes.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
