I grabbed an Old Medley. So far, very pleasant. No complaints.

2 bottles of LSB 13yo Rye. I actually bought the first a couple days ago for $70 bucks. Even though that is a very good price, I wanted to try it first. Overall, it is fantastic. Went back for a second one. This is a unique and fun addition to my collection.

Must be down around cost. That's the way to do it! Nicely done.

Picked up a 4R Smb just because.

Just because is one of my favorite reasons and 4R Smb is a frequent choice.

Two bottles of a store select Eagle Rare 10. I'm surprised they still have some of these. I really enjoy the barrel they picked. I've been through 5 or six, and have four waiting to open

So it's been a windfall the past couple days. :grin:

Over the weekend I went to Binny's to pick up a special order scotch for my future brother-in-law's bachelor party (a special bottling of Glen Grant 29 yo). But first I went directly to the bourbon aisle...FRSB Private Selections for all 10 recipe's! I wanted to drop $550 right there for all 10 but after exercising a little self control, I just grabbed the OESV. Then picked up two bottles of KC since they were on sale, and also grabbed a Wathen's since I've never had it before.

Yesterday, I headed to a store that is a little out of the way on a whim (maybe intuition?). I was planning to pick up a 1.75L of FR Yellow because it was on sale and grab another ET354 for the bunker (I like it, it is $15, and rumor has it that it will be discontinued). Then I saw the new Willett Family Estate 2 yo Rye and snagged one. Scanning the bourbon side of the aisle...Weller SR, Weller Antique, typical empty spot...WAIT! :bigeyes: Two bottles of Weller 12! I have NEVER seen Weller 12 in central IL or in my travels elsewhere. Snatched 'em up and floated to the register on a cloud of euphoric bourbon bliss. :o

2 new Binny's FRSB - OBSV and some OBSK. Super excited to try OBSV at a higher proof, the regular FRSB is my "if i can only have one bottle forever" pick.

Good Binny's pickups, fellas! Let us know what you think of them once they're uncorked :).

I'm jealous. I haven't seen Weller12 at all round these parts. Weller SR is available here in Chucktown though.

Bought an OBSK Four Roses Private Barrel selected by PA's Fine Wine and Spirits. 9 years and 3 months, I believe.

The store down the road from me had plenty of Weller 12 earlier this month. Bought one bottle actually.

1.75 bottle of EW black came home with me this week. Most HH juice is yummy to me right now.

I grabbed an ER10. Just a whim, Ive never had it, and I got the last age stated one at the store. Im encountering a problem, no more room for all of these bottles. Already refinished a stand alone cabinet to hold more, but Ive filled that up too.

Dickel No. 12 and HH BIB. Have never had either, so thought I would give them a "shot".

About two years ago I got to pick a barrel of Knob Creek Single Barrel for the store that I work at. Today I purchased the very last bottle left from that barrel. This one will be stashed away indefinitely.

ER10 is still age stated. Check the back label.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

That's pretty cool, Clavius!

Amount of details on the side label is awesome!

I also grabbed a store select Knob Creek Single Barrel yesterday. Almost walked out the door without buying anything, but I guess the shiny little tag on the bottle was too much for me to resist.
