What Bourbon did you purchase today? / Spring 2015

[JGriff]

First ECBP. Looking forward to this one.

Ken do you still get T.W. Samuels BIB in Memphis? I ask because I've found it there in years past.

I don't recall ever seeing any, but I will definitely keep an eye open for it. I see plenty of the lower proof TWS around town.

Sorry to rain on y'alls parade, but I'm pretty sure that the T.W. Samuels BIB was discontinued two or three years ago. I heard that from a pretty reliable source, and bought the last couple of 200's, and one 750 I saw back then. It's decent, but not near the equivalent of any of HH's other BIB's, IMHO.

I haven't seen any TWS BIB in years, don't know if they still bottle it as a straight either, all we get now is the 80 proof blend.

Down in Indiana to visit a friend and fill my trunk and can't believe the shelf or sale prices. Will do a full recap of prices when not on the phone.

5 x BT 750ml

2 x KCSmB 1L

2 x KCSB 1L

1 x JBBIB 1L

2 x Stagg Jr 750ml (2 diff proof/batches)

2 x EWSB '04 750ml

1 x Bookers (Noe?) 750ml

1 x Bakers 750ml

2 x 1792 750ml

For hotel sipping I got a few 200ml bottles:

3 x OGDBIB

1 x MM

1 x WT101

It was a good day. I will be filling the trunk with more of the same tomorrow if I can't find the HHBIB and Larceny I came down here looking for.

Scooped up the last two ETL's in my local store. I figured it was the last time I would see any for awhile.

[unclebunk]

Jim Beam BIB and Evan Williams BIB. Probably paid too much for the former ($20 at Binny's) but both are relatively new around here so I'm happy to have found both.

Wow Fozzy, so much for trying to keep your bunker to a few bottles. And I like how you are buying at least two of most things. Welcome to the whisky nervosa support group. One day at a time. The first step toward coping is strongly denying (to yourself and all others) that you have a problem.

This weekend I picked up a Henry McKenna BIB for the bunker and the new Stranahan's Black Diamond. I have too many bottles opened so I probably won't get to the Stranahan's for a while. Still looking for 1972 Sweet Wheat.

Not bourbon, but I also purchased the new release of Ballast Point's Grapefruit Sculpin IPA, some of Bell's solar system series, and a Ron Zacapa 23 on sale.

2x AAA10*. Haven't had it before.

[Tony Santana]

It's been almost a month since I bought anything, so started getting itchy. Found a couple of EWSB '05's on the shelf and grabbed them since they're apparently a dying breed (left one for someone else). Same with the lone SAOS Rye I found at another spot. And then bit the bullet and got the I.W. Harper 15 year. I'm a sucker for a purty face.

[petrel800]

Picked up an ECBP for 28.99. I asked twice and was told I could pay more if I wanted. I declined and paid the asking price. Appears to be batch 8.

[drunkenjayhawk]

Bought a 1L Weller Antique so I can compare it to my Weller Antique that's stated to be 7 years old.

[suntour]

You might like the new stuff more. I was surprised that I did in multiple blind SBSs.

Nice! OESV is a favorite of mine.

The sample in the store was great. Saving this for an occasion.

Seems I've been on a Evan Williams Single Barrel run lately... Picked up a bottle of '03 a couple weeks ago, then found an '04 over the weekend that was barreled Jan '04 and bottled Nov '14. Then today popped in a local shop to grab some W.L. Weller and found a bottle of '00 hiding behind everything else on the shelf. Should be fun to see how the flavors differ once I get around to uncorking these tasty treats!

[fozzy71]

......Once I am home I will do pics and a recap of the insane prices.

I made a separate thread for this as I didn't want to clutter up this thread with all the text/pics - http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?24060-Recap-of-my-Indiana-Bourboncation-(heavy-with-pics)

[Renegator]

Yesterday picked up a store selection Four Roses 100 proof and store selection 1792. Two good sippers for the beach.

[suntour]

Thanks to the extremely helpful recommendation of a member, picked up an exceptionally tasty OESK. Will be fun to taste against the almost empty bottle I have at home.
