Picked up a bottle of John J. Bowman today. Never tried it before, hope it is good.

A hat trick of SAOS barrel pics got delivered yesterday. I'm about a third into my first bottle. Way too easy to drink this one.

Sounds excellent. This is the mythical "FS/FT" bottling at 11 years.

Grabbed another bottle of OWA + a bottle of HMcK 10-yr, SB, BIB. Gotta keep the bunker topped off.

I'm on budget mode until the fall releases come out. Keep going back for this store select Buffalo Trace. Picked up a 1.75 of it today

[Ravensfire]

A local store had a pair of Willett 11 year WFE finally (some 15 months after the barrels were picked) come in. Grabbed 2 of each barrel plus a Willett WFE 7 year Rye that was on the shelf. Alas, the guy right in front of my at checkout got their last bottle of the 2 year rye (to go along with his 5 or 6 cases of the 11 year!). Cannot WAIT to crack these open. Was tempted to go for more, even with the price, but if it's good, I'll probably have to go back.

Snagged a almost unicorn AAA 10 yr in the wild today.

I walked in to a store I visit periodically when in this to remain unidentified town and checked the shelves for this single purpose. :searching: Within a minute or two I was approached and asked if I needed any help. I asked and was advised, "no....the last of that is long gone". I thought well heck, I'm here and it's all about cultivating relationships isn't it, so after 10 minutes or so of looking around and some pleasant conversation of all things important (bourbon and rye), I declared that I'd be back, but for now, if there was no AAA 10 yr to be had, I'd just be content to go on my way empty handed.

I'll be damned if he didn't reply with a "well, I do have one in the back that I was saving for myself". :shocked:

Couldn't pass up a bottle of OGD 114 for $22. My excuse is I'll need to steep some fresh raisins tomorrow after making oatmeal raisin cookies, so I don't want to risk running out

[squire]

I try to stay a bottle or two ahead myself.

[dcbt]

Buffalo Trace today. Haven't bought a bottle in awhile and figured it deserved a place on the bar.

Then you're already behind gramps..:cool:

Travelled north of the border today to check out four stores I hadn't been to before. Two were dry holes with very limited bourbon/rye offerings.

At the other two however I pick up:

OGDBIB for $15.99

WTRB 112 for $29.99

Blanton's for $39.99 (BOTM inspired me even though I haven't enjoyed it in the past but the price was right)

4RSB for $29.99

Balcones Brimstone for $59.99

4x VOB 6 yr 100 proof for $12.29, odd price I know and I've never had the 100 proof before

All in all a good trip. Picked up some Chinese for dinner on the way home too.

It's been ages since I bought any bourbon - must be almost 3 weeks. Picked up a CEHT SB, the latest batch of the SA Yearling (aged 2 years 6 months), the old school 3rd grade art project label Henry McKenna and the latest batch of Redemption Rye.

[HighHorse]

Picked up a 3-pk of EC barrel proof. Have not opened. Box says shipped from distributor in July.

[paddockjudge]

W L Weller 12, grabbed three as it is a rare find in Ontario...@C$45 it is expensive, but we don't get Lot B here and this will be the top wheater on the shelf.

[fantome]

Weller 12 jumped into my hands with two bottles of Henry McKenna BiB and two EW BiB along for the ride. I can't get enough of EW BiB right now. Glad I'm loving the cheap juice!

[bin31z]

Picked up a lonely Thomas Handy 2013.

[KyleCBreese]

Picked up a CEHT SmB since I haven't seen it around in a while. Surprisingly, I am seeing a lot of the Single Barrel and none of the Small Batch.

[IowaJeff]

I was in Chicago and picked up a WT Single Barrel, Very Old Barton, and Old Grand dad 114. I've not had the WT SB before and thus far I like it a lot. Kind of a concentrated version 101, of which I'm a big fan.

[Wayne81]

Smooth Ambler Yearling (2 yrs and 6 months)

[DBM]

Grabbed a Barterhouse, ECBP batch 5 and Blanton's. Oddly enough, I'm most excited about the Blanton's; as other many others it was one of my gateway bourbons but I haven't revisited it in over a year.

[Creggor]

Tomorrow 8/18/14 I am adding a bottle of Elijah Craig 21 year old.. Along with that I am picking up the 4 bottles of Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary and 6 bottles of Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel.. Running up the miles trying to build my bourbon bunker back to what it was many years ago.. Fun being retired.. Creggor

Picked up a lonely Thomas Handy 2013.

Wow where did you find a Lonely bottle of Thomas Handy..

[Creggor]

Picked up a bottle of John J. Bowman today. Never tried it before, hope it is good.

Earlier this year I broke open a John J Bowman Single Barrel I liked it. Can not speak for others.. Cheers.. Creggor
