What Bourbon did you purchase today? / Spring 2015

[smokinjoe]

Treated myself for Fathers Day with a MMCS, Rhetoric 21 yr, 4R OESO, 750 and Family sized PS BT's, and Tip-Toed over to the Dark Side with a

Compass Box Hedonism Quindecimus.

PS 4R OESO and store pick Buffalo Trace. Both impulse buys on my way to get a couple bottles of scotch.

I looked into shipping some bourbon and found this on UPS' website...

I chose not to...

Got a nice bottle of Baker's and found two bottles a Weller 107 Antique on the shelve; left one for the other lucky person...

Purchased an EWSB2005 since posters here were notified that all of it has been bottled and shipped. Wanted to get one more before they're gone.

Interesting day in my bourbon journey - I lurk reddit's bourbon forum and they did a FR barrel selection - OBSO. I've been looking forward to getting a couple of bottles both because it finishes my FR recipes quest, and interestingly it was distilled on my birthdate in 2004. Well, I missed it and was sort of upset about it, but on a whim dropped into a total wine on the way back home.

What do I find? OBSO. Even with the soaring high price, my wife bought it for me for Father's day. Score. It is a high proof version whereas the Reddit pick is rather low. Hopefully someone will want to swap samples so I can highlight the similarities and the differences.

On my annual trip across the Florida panhandle for a job-related seminar, I picked up a bottle of SAOS 7yo.

First stop of what should be 20-25 stores across SC and Florida over my vacation. Hope to fill this thread with good dusty finds.

[Numismaniac]

2 bottles of 21 yr old Rhetoric, thanks to a BOTL (Brother of the Leaf) from a cigar forum for this great price/find!! Thanks Coop.

[jbowl]

2 store select 1792

2 store select OBSK - still at 54.99

In a blind tasting, I struggle to pick out this from the GBS selection.

QS 87-3L 9yr 11m 59.4% vs QS 87-3C 9yr 5m 59.1%

Must have 60 left. Poke me if you are interested.

Brought home a couple of bottles of Four Roses.

Lucky dog! I've got to talk Paul into bringing some of those back for me next time he goes. I think he brought some Blantons back this time...

[jasmorg1075]

Wasn't going to do it, but caved on I W Harper 15yr for $55. Bought it mostly for the bottle, not expecting much from the bourbon especially after buying some decent stuff yesterday.

[MDBourbon]

Two of these. I missed the SAOS SB Rye.

[Numismaniac]

Oh man.....Glengoyne 21!!! Glengoyne is my favorite Scotch, but the oldest I've tried is the 17yo. You'll have to let me know how it is.

I collect more than I drink. Pretty medicated from my health issues. I've considered getting another since it actually LOOKS good. You know how sometimes you can just tell.

Might be awhile, We're still renting while rebuilding after a fire, I'm planning on having a tasting party as part of some home opening gatherings. I'm into good cigars, as well.

[GaryT]

Talked myself into a private selection of Buffalo Trace after sampling it last night. My last bottle of BT was pretty grassy, but this has a lot of cinnamon; quite nice!

[ccleve23]

Very nice. Does it say 11 years old?

You guys are a bad (or is that good?) influence. What was a small bourbon collection has ballooned exponentially as I learn about the world of Bourbon.

I took a road trip this week from VA->WV->OH->MI->OH->KY->TN->VA. 1700 miles of the open road. It was long, but I got to stop at 20 different stores, including the The Party Source in Bellevue, KY and the Liquor Barn in Lexington. The prices are so much cheaper outside of Virginia and I was able to pick up a big haul of stuff not available in VA.

I remember really liking it, and Ive been eyeing it for awhile so I pulled the trigger on a WTRB 108 for a fathers day present to myself.

Awesome haul! Looks like you had a fun road trip!

[fozzy71]

Nice haul. Interested in your thoughts on the grass widow. I thought I liked it early on but towards the end of the bottle it was just too sweet and fruity from their finishing method.
