Ravensfire Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Picked up a store picked SAOS BP 8 year that I seriously need to grab women more bottles before they sell out. Sadly, even Buffalo Trace is hard to find right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Well, as promised, my "mule" came through with another bottle of Stagg Jr Batch #3 for me. :grin: I took possession Friday evening. Said "mule" also surprised me a bit. He presented me with a few 200 ml bottles of AA BIB. :bigeyes: I'd shared something with him a week or so ago. This was his way of paying me back. I sure don't mind payback like this. Ahhhh the graciousness of some folks here. Gotta love it. Thanks brother. :cool: Cheers!

pinkfloyd4ever Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Still new to bourbon here...Stopped in the new Total Wine here in St. Louis. For a store that big their selection of both bourbon and beer (my first love in booze) was very underwhelming. That said, they did have some crazy low prices on some common stuff. Picked up my first bottle of Elijah Craig 12 for only $21.69. They also had Maker's Mark for $18.49.Anyway, from the few bourbon bottles I've opened so far I've learned to generally not judge a bourbon by the first couple pours...but WOW this EC12 is awesome from the first pour. For those prices I'm considering going back to get another EC and plus a MM.Side question: anyone had or heard anything about Ezra Brooks 12 yr?

pinkfloyd4ever Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 BTW anyone else here from St Louis and know if AAA10* or AA100 is available here? I keep looking and can only find the regular AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I believe Ezra Brooks is sourced from Heaven Hill (same distillery that makes EC 12 and a ton of other brands). I would try it if the price was right. I've had the Ezra Brooks 7 year 101 and thought it was ok.AA 100 was discontinued a number of years ago. The only way you'll find that is a store with old inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd4ever Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) The EB 12 yr was $23 + change. Might get it for my birthday present to myself here in a couple weeks.Edit: my mistake, the real name was Ezra B Single Barrel. Looks like it is indeed HH juice, and a damn good value. Gotta head back there & snag one. Edited October 26, 2015 by pinkfloyd4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I bought a bottle of MWND and found a bottle of Jim Beam Red Wheat still lurking in the online retail world and ordered that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzy71 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 yes, their site is way out of date. i follow them on FB and Dom is quick to reply and was nice enough to hold me their last bottle of ECBP recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintilian Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Today I picked up an EC12 and OGDBiB. Unfortunately, the place I usually purchase OGD now has the new-look bottles. However, I got the OGD at the same price as the old bottle, which surprised me because Cowdery's blog noted when the label change came out that the suggested retail price went up (or at least that's what I perceived). Loss on the new bottle--win on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintilian Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I don't know which part of StL you live in, but when I'm in town, I usually try to stop by Randall's or Lukas because of their selection. It's been a while since I've visited though. I'm also a fan of EC12. If you like it because of the oak (one of the reasons I favor it), you'll probably enjoy MM46 and Eagle Rare.

fozzy71 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I went into their store for the first time on Sunday. Pretty good selection of bourbon and scotch. About $5 markups above the state minimum for most mid-price things. Counter guy confirmed they would not have 4@ private selection until end of year. I'll go back next time i'm in AA for a longer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dSculptor Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well I broke down and snagged me a I.W. 15 @ $85 ..why not? They also had some handles of EC12 the old label stuff for $52 and change, so I grabbed one of those also. He also had 2 Ph9's that I passed on for $120, and he said he had just put out 2 of the PH8's that he'd been saving...they went right away.

jeffrey r Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Stumbled upon my first ECBP on the shelf in, well, seemingly forever. $49.99 to boot, Batch 9, 135.6. Into the bunker she went with her older siblings, Batch 1 and Batch 3. Have another Batch 3 open at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
