Picked up some KC single barrel. I'm going to compare it to regular KC in a bit.

Picked up a bottle of the 1792 Sweet Wheat...but it's going to be a while before I taste it. Better half tells me I need to empty some of my open bottles before opening any more....
HA! What does she know about it, anyway????

Put some of the empty ones out of site / downstairs, open the sweet wheat, problem solved.

I did that a while back and couldn't notice much difference IIRC other than a bit more heat on the finish. The SmB is now empty and I have been savoring the SB here and there as I have so many others to try now. I 2 x liters of each bunkered from my IN trip so I suppose it is time to pull the open SB to the front of the shelf and work a bit harder on that bottle now.

Did you tell her she needs to throw away some shoes before she buys any new pairs? ;)

Well, open bottles are stored on top of cabinet in kitchen so she sees them all the time. Unopened bottles in basement bunker which she doesn't see.

And as they say, a Happy Wife is a Happy Life!

Have to be honest...she's not as shoe obsessed as I am bourbon obsessed. I imagine I have more bottles of bourbon than she has pairs of shoes.

Getting a couple of the Woodford Double Double Oaked bottles tomorrow as a friend swings through town. Haven't always been the biggest Woodford fan, but I'll try almost anything once.

Picked up an EC12 with the 12 on the front for 31.99. Probably could have gotten a new label bottle at Binnys for a few bucks cheaper, but this is my first EC12 purchase, and I want to see what it is all about.

A bottle of EH Taylor Barrel Proof $60 and two bottles of Stagg Jr 132.2 proof $50 each.

Went back through Knoxville today and stopped to pick up some champagne for my parents 70th Wedding anniversary tomorrow. While I was there I picked up 2 4RPSBP OESO that just came in as well as a PS of Belle Meade Bourbon at 9 yrs and 121 proof. Never thought I'd try this label again but tasted it at the store and was impressed.

I might be a scaredy cat but I'm got getting between a woman and her shoes.

Old Grand Dad 114. Coincidence that it is also Bourbon of the month here at SB, but a great one! I can try it in 2 weeks earliest when i return from vacation though...

Good call Golzee. Worth holding onto and trying against the new label. Maybe not a difference now, but in a few years…?

All this OGD 114 talk made me grab an extra. For $19.99 you can't beat it.

One of my favorites, grabbed one in PA for $17 just before they stopped getting any. Still a good buy in NJ around $25.

Truer words my friend :)

I have virtually all of my bottles in one cabinet, with most opened as the wife understands that unfortunately to simply TRY most new stuff you have to buy a whole bottle (see - we're the victims here really!) I tried moving some to the basement to make room, and when she noticed them she raised an eyebrow - so the cabinet is my "limiting factor", whether opened or not.

Although the barrels on the back porch (6 liters worth) doesn't count, and she's OK with those :D

How 'bout an update on them porch barrels Country?

Passed on all the standard fare today at a small shop, but tomorrow is a new day!

Out of town visiting family and grabbed a 200ML of Jim Beam White/80 as it was the only bourbon half pint at that store and I didn't want to buy and be forced to drink a whole pint of OGDBIB.

Gary, we're lucky enough to have found angels that will but up with our love of Bourbon. If I have to sacrifice myself by finishing off bottles of EHTBP, Old Fitz 12 yo, RHF, ETL, FR,OWA, WEller 12 etc etc, before opening new bottles, I think it's price I'm willing to pay!

Tonight I picked up a 2003 EWSB, bottle of RHF for $49, and an Elijah Craig 12 year. This is one of the few stores left around here that still has the age stated Elijah Craig, so i may go and get a couple more.

Joe is correct. There may not be a red 12 on the front, but it's still 12 years old age stated.
