What bourbon did you purchase today? Winter 2014/2015

[flahute]

Hang in there although it will probably not be less going forward.

I'm quite sure you are correct. It's already gone up in price twice since its introduction last year. Still though, it's in good supply here for whatever reason so I continue to pad the bunker with it.

Picked up a bottle of 1792 with the new label design today at lunch. I look forward to seeing how it compares to the old age stated version. Can it really be as bad as many have said? I will say this, I think the new design on the package is stunningly beautiful. They did a great job, IMO. Yep, I like that kinda stuff.

Saw the new bottle design tonight and have to agree with you - it's very well done and a clear step up from the previous design. I look forward to hearing your sbs thoughts (Or, palate memory thoughts, whichever the case may be).

While in KY this week - picked up a VOB 100 proof age stated and Old Fitz BIB - both 375s. Also picked up a Four Roses Gift Shop PS OBSV (115.2 proof) for myself and an OBSQ (115 proof) for a friend.

Grabbed a bottle of WT101 and OGDBiB

[youngmc]

Just picked up my first bottles of Evan Williams BiB and OGD114. Been wanting to try these for a while.

[9iron]

Makers 46, Jim Beam Black and Larceny.

[JGriff]

Baby Saz & Rittenhouse BIB

[chooch714]

Picked up a handle of WT101on sale at ABC for $29.99. It has been quite a while since I have had this. Time we got reacquainted!

[Crowes]

Grabbed a Weller 12 last night, nice to finally see this in Michigan!

[BigBoldBully]

Recently picked up Weller 12--first time I have ever seen this in the area. Makes you wonder what is behind the expanding distribution. Bigger supply than some seem to think? Desire to spread it more widely but more thinly so it appears rare everywhere? Whatever the explanation, glad to finally have some.

I don't want to start a panic on the NYSE but I'm going to make it a whole week without visiting a store or buying a bottle/bottles for the first time in 2015. No special reason, just didn't get around to it.

[texaspete]

A handle of Eagle Rare. Can I call it a handle, technically? Either way it looks freakin' REGAL, on the shelf.

Thanks! I've been at this about 2 months. I should probably slow down.

Resistance is futile! :grin:

Got an EW1783 today. Its been over a year since Ive had a taste. I remember liking it though. I may proof them all to 86 and do a blind sbs ew1783 ewb ewbib and ewsb. I like Evan quite a bit if you cant tell. Each of these bottles have a ridiculous qpr.

Haha, those handles of ER are awesome! That is a nice mix of pours. A lot of different flavor profiles. You are off to a pretty good start!

FR store select (OBSV) single barrel. This one was aged 8 yrs 8 mos. thought that seemed a bit young. Thought they were all in the 10-12 yr range. In any case, I don't care because the price was $34.99. This is by far the cheapest I've seen for FRSB.

Also picked up Willett 2 yr rye for $34.99.

[Music City]

Today, I scored an Elijah Craig BP #7. Ah . . . . .

Was the FRSB the 100 proof or the cask strength variety? If its the 100 proof, I've had at least one younger than that, and it was outstanding. Even bought an extra bottle to put away.

100 proof. Thus far, I've tried OBSV and OBSO and liked the OBSV the best. The label didn't show the recipe so asked the manager who proceeded to show me three sample sample bottles all labeled OBSV showing the various specs such as age, warehouse location, etc. pretty neat stuff.

Anxious to try this one. They still have boatloads!!! All sitting on the actual barrel they purchased. If I like, will go back for more to bunker some. At $34.99, can't beat the price especially for these parts where some places are charging over $50.

Any members in the Stamford, CT area want to know the store name, let me know. They also have Jeffersons store select, eagle rare store select and buffalo trace store select.

[texaspete]

$34.99 is outstanding. I've never seen it that low around here. There's a store here selling a barrel proof 4RSB private selection for 62.99

I was forced to snag a ER10 and KC this evening, when I realized that both were marked down $9 from the regular price. I didn't need either one, but what else could a guy do?:crazy:

[Scotch Neat]

Did I need it no!! But at 23.99 for Elijah Craig 12 had to grab a few.

[jasmorg1075]

It's pay day and I came across a few good options so I pulled the trigger. Snagged CEHT BP (2nd release), RHF and Stagg JR (3rd release).
