The local ABC is starting to run low on their FRSB store selects. I am really enjoying them so I bought two OBSK's, an OBSQ and an OESO. The word from management is when they are gone they're gone but even if this is just a manipulative sales pitch I'm happy to have them.

Store select standard 4RSB and non store select 4RSB are always 100p/OBSV and have in my experience ranged in age from 8-9yrs, lately I have seen a couple sub 8s which I don't ever remember seeing but no matter, store select 100p OBSV is a thing of the past, the standard SB will only be the factory release going forward. 35.00 is and has been the going rate at least in GA for a long time now so that seems right on target. If you enjoy it, stock up.

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.

Grabbed last bottle of 2014-6 Bookers off shelf for $40. There may be more but didn't want to chance it.

Well, not today... but, yesterday, I snagged a couple bottles of Weller 12-yr. New to Michigan, and just in time, I might add.

My last bottle of W12, from KY last fall, is almost gone. Now I have one to make up some SB blend, and one to bunker for later.

Picked up another bottle of William Wolf Pecan Bourbon. I generally hate anything flavored, I like my bourbon to be bourbon flavored. But this stuff is delicious. Maple and pecan essence. Like a pecan pie in a bottle.

I got a FRSB PS OESK ($54.99) and an OGD BIB 100($17.99).

I have not had the OESk so I am looking forward to that.

That's a recipe I'm looking for. Let us know how it is.

I picked up a Four Roses mini today. I have been buying them one at a time, hoping that one day I'll be able to fill them with 10 recipes as functional display piece. Half way there. At modern prices I'm definitely not against trading for a few samples to get there.

Grabbed a OESQ aged 10 year 8 months for the bargain price of $49.99. Opened it right away and loved it. Lots of cherry on the nose. Over all kind of reminded me a bit of Parker's Promise of Hope with the floral hit.

Stopped in at a little hole in the wall place, and found me some OF signature 100,that stuff was hard to find around these parts for some reason, took it home, few cubes and poured away. I really like this stuff.

Stocked up on the standards yesterday across the border. 3x BT, 3x Bulleit Rye (on sale for $25 - for my Manhattans), and Benchmark (on sale for $15\handle - for Highballs).

Still can't find OF signature. Seems like everyone by me only carries the 86 proof.

I picked up a bottle of Weller 12yr, which I hadn't seen before. Man that stuff is good! Might have to pick up a couple bottles for the bunker...

That's a nice one, I try to keep it on hand always.

Was in Chicago and stopped at the Binny's on Grand. MMCS (not yet available here), Larceny (ditto), OWA (only 3 left on the shelf, I grabbed one, they've been noticeably absent around here as of late) and a 4R OBSQ (I'm up to 7 of the recipes now). There were actually 3 different store select options, but only one bottle of the OBSQ, so I figured that someone must have thought it was good.

FedEx came!

Nice. Let me know your thoughts on the JW Dant BIB. There is actually one store a bit away that carries it. Haven't seen it anywhere else.

Hope is to stop by and pick up OF Signature (another one that I haven't seen around).

Temperance Trader barrel proof. Okay if you like the taste of ashtray and dirt. Just awful.........poured it down the drain.

Picked another handle of WT101 while it is on sale.

Paul W, nice haul! I have had all of those except the 1843. I have not heard of nor seen that one on the shelf. History? Also, I really love the taste of the OC8 just wish it was at a little higher proof. The OC101 is awesome!
