Got me a 4r Le SmB yesterday for $69.99, thankful that there are still LS's out there that don't drag you over the coals for this stuff. He also got in a Michters Le toasted Barrel finish that I also took, not big on that stuff ,but have a friend who is.

2 X Maker's Mark Cask Strength. I also got a call on my way back to work that another store just received my request for ECBP batch 6.

Picked up a Knob Creek SB store selection. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of the off the shelf version and the local stores around here that carry private selections of it don't go to the distillery to make their picks, so I typically have passed. That being said, I know this store and I know they went up for the selection and typically make good picks, so I picked it up. Got a small sample before I purchased, it's nice, not overly complex, but has a nice wood component on the finish. Another nice selection by this store.

Also, because I have no self control, I bought another HW Midwinters Night Dram.

I hadn't bought anything in over a month but at lunch today I treated myself to some birthday gifts: Stagg Jr for 50, ECBP for 60, and an OGD114. Never had the last one in that list; time to see what all the fuss is about finally...

I bought two bottles of Four Roses Single Barrel Private Selection OESQ (9 yr, 8 months; 56.8% abv) for $59. I got to taste a sample of this (as well as an OESF that the store in question also picked) and found it to be amazing. I love those lower proof 4RSBs. Previously I debated buying a bottle of each, but decided to go with what I really liked and left the OESF for others to enjoy.

Picked up EHT-BP today, and while I was there grabbed one of what might be the last 5 bottles of Weller12 on a retail shelf in N Texas.

On my way home from a job interview picked up a bottle of OWA. Also got sick of foureyedfox's posts reminding me of how much I miss Dickel 9 so picked one of those up too. :cool:

Self control????? When it comes to bourbon what is this thing you call self control.

Was in New Hampshire and the State Liquor Store had Bookers and Knob Creek SB on sale so I picked up a bottle of each. Yay me!

It's what people who don't gather monthly with a large group of like minded enablers use to keep money in their bank accounts.

Just picked up 2 bottles of Four Roses Private Selection OBSK, aged 9 years 7 months. Coming in at 58.4% ABV. I got it at South Lyndale Liquors in South Minneapolis. It's an amazing liquor store, huge scotch and whisky selection---many open bottles to sample. This is my first Four Roses Private Selection, and it's wonderful---at 58.4% ABV it hardly needs water. The nose is slight baking spices, vanilla, salted caramel, toffee. Effervescent on the palate! The finish is buttery caramel popcorn, cinnamon, nutmeg---and VERY LONG for me. I've never had the Limited Editions, and if they are better than this Private Selection, I will be in bourbon nirvana! After being on a Springbank Scotch kick for the last several months, this is a good way to come back to bourbon.

Put a dent in my recent pile of single barrel Four Roses with my father in law. 3 barrel selections, and the recent 15 year gift shop release. It's always interesting to taste the FR single barrels side by side to see how much variation can come from their recipes. And almost always excellent!
