Perfect Pour selection of Four Roses OESO. I'll be very interested to compare it to the OESO I've got open right now (Hi-Time Wines store selection).

Picked up a A.Bowman Double Barrel this past weekend. Pricy for a seven year old bourbon but since I have the last couple of limited editions, I couldn't resist.

Today I saw an EW SB 2001 still on the shelf for $25, so I grabbed that. Also picked up a VOB BIB since I usually only see the 86.

Picked up the last two SAOS 7 year on the shelf this past weekend. I am really quite enamored of it, and think it is a great buy at $30. I think these two bottles were batch 47. The last two I bought being batch 60.

Got a call from store letting me know that they had a bottle of ETL Com held for me. When I got there I found out it was $38. I brought it home eventhough I felt the price was a little high. I left the other 3 bottles on the shelf. I'll check it out tonight. I have an unopened bottle of ETL 90proof to compare it to.

My wife had to do a little grocery shopping today after work. She called me and asked if I was interested in any bourbon or rye the store had. They had WR at $28.00, so since I had picked it as the BOTM, I thought why not? God love her, and so do I. Gonna open it up and give it a ry when she gets home.

Cheers! Joe

A little dusty hunting during lunch turned up some pre-fire HH Bonded 200mL and one Old Forester Bonded 354/414 200mL.

Found OGD114 for only $16.99. Needless to say, I bought two. Thinking about going back for more!

Jeez that's a great price. Passed on it for $29.99 but did get another bottle of ETL, a AAA10*, and a EWSB2003.

Picked up a bottle of Rare Breed and a SBSB Russels Reserve 110 proof yesterday for a meeting with Eddie Russell this morning at a store. Store is doing a barrel of the Russell's Reserve single barrel at 110 proof. Forgot to ask him what a SBSB is exactly!

2 of the 3 samples were pretty good. One was floral and the other had a bit more woody flavors with a nice spicy kick at the end.

While he wouldn't talk exact numbers he did tell me that WT Rye mashbill is basically a reverse of the corn in the bourbon and my guess of 65% rye was "pretty close". Take it for what it is worth I suppose!

Around 8 or 9 years old according to Eddie!

While on the (futile) ETL hunt, ran across a few bottles of W12 yesterday and Antique 107 today. Grabbed a 750 of each.

Booker's 25th and FR Small Batch. According to my spreadsheet these are my first bourbon purchases of 2014. Some catching up is in order.

How ironic. You are looking for ETL and others who have found ETL are looking for Weller.

One of the best things about this hobby is that if my stores don't have what I am looking for I can still get something I want.

Got an email this morning that Rock Hill Farms was back in stock at a local shop.

Bought one online, and I'll pick it up on Friday when I'm back in the neighborhood.

This right here is my problem with Wild Turkey. They send the damn distiller out to the store, but they won't let him say anything that isn't vague and misleading. Around 8 or 9? So it's 7 at the most, right?

That said... I really want to get a good bottle of RRSmBSB.

Sounds like a distiller that knows what is going on and has been told what not to say and so as not to lie gives an approximate age.

2 Larceny 1.75's. Forgot that this year's rebate was only on one bottle. Doh!

speaking of WT, i saw lots of $5 rebate hang tags on the 81/101 labels today.

I'll tell you one thing - I'd love to pick an 8 year old Turkey barrel. More than about anything else.
