Picked up an ER10 today as well, was down to my last gulp in a bottle. While I was at the store I got the chance to try the Garrison Bros Cowboy bourbon. I thought it was better than the other GB options but still not good.

For the first time ever! d7a85e72e45bcbd24df2c5fa58779549.jpg

Hope it's good! Got the last bottle in the store

I doubt you'll be disappointed. After first buying this in 2012 while traveling, for about $33, I looked for it locally but my store is schizo on this one item--priced it at 69.99 (same as the barrel proof, rye, etc.), which I thought must be a mistake, then eventually lowered it to $37. I was like, ha they finally noticed. But the next time I stopped in it was back up to 69.99! I'd say this is a good bourbon with lots of nougat and citrus character, and worth what I initially paid, although not 70 bucks.

Can't wait to try tonight then. I paid 34 at total wine today. The shelf was empty so I asked a rep if they had any more he said they had one bottle in their computer. He looked for it above in the boxes on top of the shelf but none to be found. As I was taking one last look for something good, he came up from behind like surprise I found it in the back. I hurried to the check out counter and gave them my money with a quickness.

My wife and SiL turned our bottle of OGD114 into a get stupid bottle the other night. Refilled today with a bottle of OWA and Rittenhouse, plus a pleasant check-in with my go-to local store manager.

Broke my weeks long slump with a Bookers. CO7-B-7, which I believe is from 2014 and was possibly a roundtable selection. I don't care if it was or not - I've had some of that batch in the past and think it's fantastic. Maybe the best Bookers I've ever had.

You'll like that CEHT SmB for sure! We've gone through a couple bottles of it this past year. It is a bit spendy, but it doesn't disappoint.

I ended up with a EHTSmB also tonight thanks in part to this thread. I had one some time back and liked it but I do recall thinking it wasn't necessarily 30 - 35% better than BT in terms of the cost but figured I would give it another try/SbS. I was out checking out 3 or 4 new stores in hopes of finding a unicorn and struck out but wanted to buy something from each new store if I could. I grabbed another EWBIB also since I am out and a AAA10* which I have never tried yet.

I like CEHT SmB and given the proof difference compared to BT10 or ER10, any price under $35 is great price. I have found that you can match the profile with a slightly higher proof with a 50/50 blend of Stagg Jr. and BT.

Picked up 2 more Weller 12. Got enough to get through football now. I did find out the Antique Collection has already been allocated out in my area. Extremely slim this year. Oh well.

Ordered a bottle of WRMC Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir for the wife, which came in today. Not really my cup o' tea and certainly not cheap, but she loves the stuff. Happy wife = Happy life. Plus now she shouldn't complain if I ever do manage to find someplace that will ship a bottle of ECBP to NC. :grin:

3 x BT at $17.99 each

man i hate our state's liquor laws/taxes. That is such a great price compared to here. At least all the ones left in my bunker were bought near your price when I was out of state.
