fjr1606 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 My wife found a bottle for me at a random store on the other side of town. The woman behind the counter called her husband to see if it was being held for someone but she couldn't reach him. I lucked out - with the bourbon and having a great wife!

Crowes Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Managed to snag a bottle today, looking forward to trying a pour tonight. The price is a real turn off now, but considering I've always like the other vintages, and this is likely the only limited release I'll sniff this year, I figured why not. I'll report back with some tasting notes. Edited October 1, 2015 by Crowes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnybogey Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I suppose I should add in the 2015 and redo the tasting from back in December 2014!Great write up tanstaafl2. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybogey Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I suppose I should add in the 2015 and redo the tasting from back in December 2014!tanstaafl2. Cracked open the '15 OFBB last night. This stuff reminds me so much of EC12 except I got more vanilla, caramel, and nuttiness on the nose and definitely more spice on the finish compared to EC12. Very enjoyable.Looking forward to seeing your SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonfoot Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Any thoughts on this yet? I got a call about it this morning. I passed last year but have seen some favorable thoughts on the current bottling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gohrmund Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just a quick question to those that know more about OFBB. Is it possible to put together a complete run of this? It goes back to 2002 I believe, I would assume those early bottles are hard to find.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Pleasantly surprised to discover that the price was 49.99 for the one my wife purchased for me yesterday. I was expecting a big markup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 2010 and 2012 have popped up on The Whiskey Exchange for £99 a pop. Not cheap, but probably cheaper than secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertsccr5 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Purchased in WA? How can the price be less than MSRP?I don't understand control states I guess.They have sales tax and some type of bottle/liquor tax which likely increased the total cost to $60-62ish. I think some shops compensate for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg11 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 · Hidden Hidden I had it in my checkout basket at 99 euro. Clicked refresh and it's now 140 euro. That's either really strange, or horrible luck for me. I guess they adjust price as their stock gets depleted. Has anyone else had this happen? I've never purchased from Whiskey exchange Link to comment

GrPeMi Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'd like to claim that bourbon zen is the reason I don't have a bottle of OFBB yet, but really, it's unsatisfied whiskeyrexia nervosa, and just not having the time to run around trying to track down a bottle, despite the help of the OLCC inventory search.Tasted the '14 last year, long after it was gone from the shelves, and really liked it. Decided I was going to try and get a '15. But I was out of town this past weekend when it hit OR. Looks like there might be a few bottles left, but I just don't see it happening...guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with OFSig and the barrel-proofer that's supposed to come out next year. Envious of flahute and mrs. flahute for picking the bottles up for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I was offered one at $89.99. I passed. Owner said that his cost from the distributor was more than last year's retail price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
