What bourbon did you purchase today? Fall 2016

[Thig]

EWSB 2008, enjoying this one so much more than the 2007.

Heehee...OK, OK, OK, sorry for poopying on your parade, there.

 

It's all good, I was just basking in my dusty finding glory.

Kepler, that's my kind of shopping.

I think I'm one of the few on here that like OGD114 but don't care for the OGD BiB. I get that same taste from the OGD Bib and the BH... I struggle to identify it, it is like a sickly sweet taste like rotten fruit or something. It is more subtle in the BH due to proof I suspect, but it is not one I care for. I just don't get that same taste in the 114. I also have an $11 Old Taylor 6yo that i suspect will have that same profile as it has the "Clermont, Frankfort" label.

 

 

I'm with you on the 114 vs the BIB, bought the BIB one time and that was the only and last time. For $4 more, it was a no brainer to get the 114 instead

So you take pleasure at the expense of others, hmm. 

I guess you should call yourself SmallRich. More appropriate. 

 

You probably laugh when people slip on ice?

 One bourbon, one rye, one single malt whisky.

Hmm, would make a great rock 'n roll song.  Oh way, see George Thorogood.

I ended up picked up 2 FRSiB and 1 CEHT SmB.  The FRSiB were $27.19 each and the CEHT SmB was $37.39, after a 15% discount, so I couldn't pass them up.

FRSiB for under $30, unheard of in my area.  Great price on a great bourbon.

I am totally flabbergasted by this over the top, hyper-sensitive, and entirely off base post.  One (or both possibly) of two things is apparent.  You have not read the exchange between Kepler and myself that led to BigRich's comment, or you have a severe liability in understanding context.  At its core, my initial comment that sparked Kepler's apparent hurt feelings was simply me using a little artistic freedom in pointing out the obvious irony in his purchasing some Beam-Suntory products while simultaneously exalting "Take that Beam-Suntory!"  Now, I did apologize as Kepler did seem hurt as he responded by calling me a Negative Nancy.  Honestly, I felt no need to apologize, but did so to offer an olive branch in an attempt to defuse the situation. BR, obviously saw the same, and enjoyed my little literary dalliance, which was not personal in the least bit.  

My gosh man, please find better use for your dispersion of your self righteousness judgements.

Nice!  I bought the Lagavulin 8 and 12 year 200th anniversary bottles today.  I have a thing about not buying scotch that has E150 coloring in it.  The standard bottlings by Lagavulin have it, but these two don't, so I'm happy to be able to add another Islay distillery to my collection.

I got them at Binny's Lincoln Park store; just google Glencairn cufflinks and you'll find them

Yes, it is unheard of here as well.  Typically, the cheapest price around here is the mid-$30s.  The store had it on sale for $31.99 and then I got a 15% discount when I bought 6 bottles of whiskey and wine.  I picked up two.  I opened up one last night and this is a really good barrel.  I wish I would have picked up a few more at that price.  I still might.  I am not sure when the sale ends.

I picked up another Knob Creek gift set with the age stated bottle and two nice rocks glasses. The price of the set is cheaper than the bottle alone, it has the age statement, and the rocks glasses are great. The rocks glasses have taken their place in my bar next to my Four Roses rocks glasses.

 

I have seen the same set with the age stated bottle and rocks glasses.  And, the price in Indy, is also similarly cheaper than the bottle alone.  I am going to hit up the store right after Christmas to see if they put them on sale.  If not, I will see if the manager will let me pick up a couple for $25 each.  It is a grocery store.  They have a lot and they don't seem to be moving.  The rocks glasses are really cool!  While I have a lot of rocks glasses, including the Four Roses glasses, I would probably still buy these glasses without the bourbon if I was at the gift shop.

[jeffrey r]

Here is the Knob Creek glass along with my two types of Four Roses glasses. All purchased around holiday time in gift sets for less than the bottles alone (terrific barrels of FRSB in the case of the FR gift sets).

Another bottle of OG114 at $21.99.

Store pick Blantons.

Thanks!  It was a close thing.  Only two in town and one sold this morning.  I really enjoy EC12 and oak-forward bourbons so am looking forward to trying this one.

 great pick up. I've wanted to try that for a couple of years. I have an EC 20, but hear the 18 is better.

Bought some Woodinville Whiskey Flagship Bourbon (Woodinville, WA), 5-year aged in large barrels.  SO good.  Also got some cheap Trader Joe's Bourbon (45%), also 5-years but not as good.

[Masset1982]

Some bottles that i've ordered.

The 4R - did they ship from the US?

Good question.  Mission claims on their website that they do not ship overseas.  Could be second party shipping though.
