What bourbon did you purchase today? Winter 2014/2015

[Paul W]

I already have a bottle of Dant, which is why I wanted to order more. I think it is a gem at its price point. At $13 plus shipping it is a steal when compared to what I can get in So Cal that is bonded and delicious (nothing). I think but am not sure this is a Heaven Hill offering.

The Nicholson 1843 is a contemporary bottom shelf offering, but it is only offered regionally. I think it is a wheater bottled by Luxco, who also bottles the Old Ezra.

The Charter would indeed be better if it was higher proof, but I have one open bottle that I think is pretty drinkable and wanted another so I can stop fretting about only having one. Same issue with the Dant, although I like the Dant much more so I got two backups there.

I ordered all this stuff from a place in St Louis. Shipping was less than $5 per bottle and I escaped the 10% CA sales tax that makes our already high prices even higher (although Flaute has opened my eyes to the fact that WA state is even more expensive, which I previously thought was impossible.)

J.W. Dant is one of my favorites, a classic HH bourbon with full flavor at a reasonable price.

I picked up some David Nicholson 1843 about a month ago when I was in St. Louis. I thought it was okay, sorta like a mild version of J.W. Dant.

I haven't seen Old Ezra 101 around for a good while. I think it's the best of the Luxco offerings.

Now that is a nice haul. Every one of those bottles are in my wheelhouse.

wow, that's awesome. looking to pick up something from WT, maybe some Russell's reserve. and been looking around for that EC BP, still haven't found any. Binny's got it in a couple weeks ago and sold out immediately as I'm told.

[whiskeyscope]

Been out of the country for a while in Europe. It's a bit of a Bourbon wasteland, but did pick up a WT 8yr 101 for €30,95.

[kjbeggs]

Stopped off at Goody Goody to grab a bottle of Powers John's Lane for tonight. Of course I browsed the Bourbon aisle. Found the 2015-01 Booker's, and a lone store select ER10.

[old_timer]

Just cracked open the Bookers Big Man Small Batch....good stuff. As my go to, I can't appreciate the 15% price increase though :/

2014 Birthday bourbon, OF 1849, OGD 114 from 2012

[Hop]

Picked up three I haven't tried BellMead, A Bowman Double Barrelled, and Hirsch

[The Boozer]

Picked up 3 ECBP, believe it to be batch 7

[Swoboda]

JB Bonded $17.99 . . . giving it a shot.

[kcgumbohead]

A co-worker hooked me up with a W12 as I missed the last shipment/allocation whatever the hell they are doing with it these days.

[zeeck]

Not a purchase but a gift, a friend of mine came back from Kentucky with a Gallenstein select Knob Creek Single Barrel. According to the store owner, it was a barrel from the 7th floor of a 9 story rickhouse and was aged 12 years. I have no clue as to the veracity of all that, but the bourbon is phenominal. I didn't realize Knob Creek could taste so good.

[DonutsNBourbon]

finally getting around to WT with a purchase of WT101 and Russel's Reserve Small Batch

[9iron]

Grabbed the last two bottles of 2004/14 Evan Williams single barrel off the shelf.

[tannnehill kid]

Found a few bottles of Rock Hill Farm

[flahute]

Haven't made a purchase in 2 or 3 weeks. My whiskerexia nervosa is getting itchy.

hey, hey, two weeks now for me too! :cool:

[dcbt]

Nothing since Feb 19 for me (exactly one month). Bourbon Zen here I come!

[jakerthesnaker79]

Bottle of John J. Bowman Single, usual EC12 and then a couple of bottles of Michters 10 SB.

Central IL is apparently awash with Weller 12. I did my rounds yesterday after work and two stores had 1.75L bottles and the third had 6-8 750's. I bought one of the 1.75L bottles ($50), another Rittenhouse Rye for the bunker, and Forged Oak which appeared here for the first time. Now I will have to do a sbs comparison with Barterhouse and Lost Prophet for Orphan Barrel supremacy.

Also last weekend my fiance was visiting family in MI and was kind enough to stop at Cork 'N Ale in Saginaw. After some picture messages of the entire whiskey section, a lot of pinch zooming, and a 10 minute phone conversation she ended up getting me 2 ECBP (Batch 7) for $55 each and a 750 of Weller 12 (this was before I saw it here). She's a keeper. She said that the employee found it entertaining that I was shopping via proxy.

Now I need to find more OWA because the balance in my bunker for SB blend has unexpectedly shifted in favor of W12. Not that I can't enjoy W12 by itself...

[Ga Gator]

I picked up a bottle of forged oak.

[texaspete]

Still no Weller 12 in SC.

But I did get this...

I'm gonna try to impose a moratorium on any new purchases until I find said Weller 12.

[MDBourbon]

I thought I would give it a try. Priced the same as regular Bookers around here $54.99.
