elmossle Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Grabbed another bottle of OWA today. Can I use "because it was on the shelf" as a reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Buffalo Trace at $19.99 at a convenient CVS seemed like a good deal today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vismatt Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Got lucky and found an ECBP batch 11 and a CEHT barrel proof. It's my first bottle of CEHT barrel proof. I really like the single barrel and small batch and can't wait to try this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 A big ol' Fighting Cock 6 yr today. Well, it was a family size and I was in Gamecock Country, so felt it was the proper thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 EH Taylor BP at 127.5 proof. Still have a Batch 1 open on the bar. Look forward to a sis at some point this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Picked up a bottle of Stagg Jr & another OW. $22.99 for the OW was too good to pass up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 A purchase of sorts. I participated in a 4R barrel pick (we chose OBSF) and got to fill my bottle straight from a tap in the barrel. I hand applied the labels myself and wrote down the barrel info on the labels. Walked it through the bottling line and watched the plastic seal get applied. Applied the neck tag and the walked away with my bottle. That was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcal1985 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I was trying to decide between the Russell 10 yr and Evan Williams single barrel 2006. Ultimately I chose the Evan Williams because it was Barreled close to my birthday. Anyone had the Russell 10 yr? I'm always eyeing it...may grab it next week.

I did the same thing... eyed the RR 10yr for a while before I finally decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I finally broke down and grabbed a bottle. I thought it was really good bourbon and well worth the asking price. It had a good nose and nice depth of flavor and displayed it's age well with a touch of oak. It also held up to a little ice and/or water if you like it that way. I'd suggest giving it a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 If you like a Bourbon at a relatively decent price, with a nice nose, and a better than average 'sweeter-side Bourbon'; you'll love that Buffalo. That 12-year Beam is a very nice pour, as well, if a bit more expensive than I felt it was worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Picked up two RRSiB ryes at the gift shop. It's the barrel pick that the KBA group made the same day that I was at Four Roses. I was at Wild Turkey for an event (went skeet shooting with Jimmy and Eddie, that was cool) and got a WT101 in the gift bag. Really great day!

Too bad there is no such thing as a bourbon growler. An experience like yours is on my bucket list. How old was the barrel you chose? Thanks!

Happy to have the one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchline Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Bought a couple of bottles of ETL for a friend for the reasonable price of 33 bucks each. Haven't seen it priced that way in a looong time. And I honestly didn't think I'd see it again. Interestingly I was on my way up with a bottle of OWA until I found out that it was 40 bucks. What gives? More for Weller Antique than ETLee? The times they are still changing! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Received a call last week from a store owner about some OWA available. This guy sold me ORVW10 for retail this past December. I get there thinking the bottle of OWA will cost around $25. Nope. He wanted $100. That's the world we live in today! No, I did not buy the bottle.
