Tony Santana Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not me, but my wife was at the store, saw some Baby Saz and texted me about it. I know there were some who complained about lack of availability when I still saw it frequently around here, but haven't seen a bottle on a shelf for a couple of months now. She said there were 5 of them, I think $29, so I had her pick one up. Then she also bought an Angel's Envy, a store select purchase. She had it in an Old Fashioned when we were out Friday night and liked it. I didn't have the heart to tell her I had one stashed away in the bunker, but it was sweet of her to get it (maybe some self-interest on that one, but she knew I liked it too).

screamtone Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm in Louisville and can't find anything but 375's of Old Fitz BIB, but some of the bars seem to have 750's. I actually went to a new (to me) store tonight hoping to score a 750. Had to settle for a 375.While I was there, I also picked up HH6 BIB, VOB BIB, and 1792.

flahute Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Went to a local big box store looking for something else and was stunned to see 4 Weller 12yr on the shelf.The release hit more than a week ago and everyone sold out pronto. Manager told me that more have trickled in here and there since the initial release. Since these have been out there for a while, I came home with all four. I'll give two to a friend who has been looking for these as hard as I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaskStrength77 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Saw Maker's Mark cask strength at Costco, had to buy it. Haven't cracked it yet; not expecting a whole lot, but who knows. I wasn't expecting much from Knob Creek Single Barrel, and that was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golzee Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The Illinois lottery treated me pretty well on a scratch off, I quickly blew the winnings on OGD 114, Dickel 12, Eagle Rare 10, and Big House. Was looking at a few others but I resisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmcd Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I picked up a store selection bottle of ERSB 10 and a bottle of EC12. Both were first time purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintilian Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I picked up a store selection bottle of ERSB 10 and a bottle of EC12. Both were first time purchases.EC12 and ER10 are two of my favorites. Lots of oak...Today I stopped by one of the local stores, and they now offer "single barrel select" of BT. I've had plenty of regular BT but not "single barrel" if that is indeed what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ordered a case of OFBIB 750's. Local only carries the handles which takes up too much space on me bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleCBreese Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Picked up a Booker's 2014-06. I have always passed on Booker's, but prices in NJ have been slowly climbing from $50 to $60 on Booker's and it was time to pick one up before prices got any higher. Bought this one for $53.

Kalessin Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Just caught up on this thread.Last Saturday, i visited one of my usual stores.Somebody paid it, somebody always pays it, on Saturday that somebody was me.A 4R 2014 Small Batch LE was in the special bottles cabinet at just over $130. i hadn't seen any of them in Massachusetts during or after the holiday season, and I've been enjoying them since the 2009 Mariage edition, so overpaying wasn't even a worry. I might try to hunt down another bottle or two for closer to MSRP, but my credit card almost made a cartoon "*ZING*" noise coming out of my wallet to buy this one.Right next to it in the cabinet was a Weller 12 for $40. Similarly rare in MA, I had to bring it home too. I can't believe some stores out there are charging $100 for it...At least they had Larceny on sale for $24, which I needed to pick up to replace a bottle almost empty, so not everything they had was all about gouging.

I'd drop $130 on the 4Roses in a second. I'm not a fan of W12, but enough of my friends are, that $40 is in the ballpark to keep on hand. It IS 12 yr bourbon, yes? Now, I love Larceny, and would easily (and will probably be spending based on the increases in bourbon pricing we see) drop $40 on it! So, open those puppies up, and I may be showing up at your crib to shovel your driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Starting a second bunker from scratch, so I picked up a EC12 and Booker's while in FL for a long weekend. Next trip down, I'll have to add a Roses, Turkey and Trace, so I have a fair representation from the motherland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally worth it to me.$40 is my upper limit for Weller 12 so I'd do that too is my supply was low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had a chance to get 4R SmB LE at list price but foolishly passed it up. At the time $94/bottle seemed too high. I regret not buying it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even tried to order online from a retailer down here and have something shipped. Interesting. (Can't send or receive liquor in Texas, for those wondering. And can only buy liquor from liquor stores. And never on Sundays.) Edited February 10, 2015 by dcbt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem shipping bourbon into TX via fedex or UPS. Only had one shipment from TX to me go bad and that was because a bottle leaked in transit, all others shipped out fine.
