Pug Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Saturday's purchase: McKenna 10 Year. This is my first actual bourbon purchase of a bottle, so I'm pretty excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutton Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Russell's Reserve SmBSB Loch & Key Selection - first time I've come across a store select of a Wild Turkey label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrel800 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hopefully that RRSmBSB will be good, my local store is bringing one in soon, looking forward to that selection.Today I found a OGD BIB on the dump out rack for $16. Figured I'd take it home, no reason to dump out good bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegator Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Though I technically purchased it last Friday at the gift shop, I had to ship it to myself (didn't have big enough bags to safely pack them in for airline checking) and they arrived today.(2) WFE 9yr bourbons, (1) WFE 6yr rye, and (1) of their new 2 yr ryes.Lucky dog! I was in there one week after you (3 days ago) and they were sold out of everything except the 2 year rye, 6 year rye and the 23 year bourbon ($375).

Pug Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Let us know what you think Pug.I had a sample of it a couple of months ago at the whiskey shop, I like it a lot. The first sip out of the bottle probably needed a few more minutes to burn off some of the burn, but it's a smooth and delicious bourbon (says the bourbon neophyte).

GerryM Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Today picked up 2 FRSB for $29/ea and 1 ETL regular for $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmorg1075 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Picked up a Booker's 127.1 proof for $37. Never had it and want to compare it to ECBP. Probably will go back and pick up some SAOS 7 since it seems pretty difficult to get where I live. I really like that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auracom Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I recommend FedEx Home Delivery - much faster than regular ground shipping and for whatever reason, it's way the hell cheaper. If you can - print the shipping label and affix to the box beforehand so you can just drop it off without having to get probed by anyone.If you're getting a lot of sloshing from the juice in the bottles, try and mitigate with extra paper/padding inside. If you've got it on hand - rice inside an envelope, taped to one of the inside walls of the box works really well to mask sloshing./tips learned from beer shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Someone sent me a "test tube" half full of gumballs along with some bottles once. I thought he was just being nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auracom Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I once used dry quinoa in the envelope because we were out of rice. My girlfriend was pissed. Tried to assure her it was less than $.30 worth. Didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Santana Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I broke down and bought a Rhetoric yesterday. Haven't tried it yet, but plan to do so in the near future. I like the Barterhouse, but I'm not blown away by it. I guess I'm just a sucker for the unique.Come to think of it, I usually find myself thinking that purchases over $90 are not worth it. I've enjoyed every bottle I've paid that much for, but being honest with myself I usually reflect back with a "that was good, but it wasn't $100 a bottle worth of good" attitude. Was the Booker's 25th that much better than the regular Bookers? Not in my view (but hey, it looks cool on the shelf).On the other hand, I've almost always found that the $45-75 bottles are worth the price. And I buy enough $20 Costco special EWSB's, OGD 114, etc. to balance things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
