Paddy Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 In light of recent developments, I picked up KC x 3 today. While at it, I also snagged a OWA, ER10, and 'not bourbon' Bernheim. With winter approaching, one can't have too much good whisky and rye! What say ye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Grabbed a 1792 full proof backup bottle for $43 plus tax. Five dollars more than I paid for my first bottle but I really like it and hadn't seen it in awhile. I can now drink my open bottle a little more freely. Also grabbed a family size WSR for $36 plus tax. The store had a couple cases of the big boys and also of the 750's. For that price I grabbed one. It will last a year for me at least and this was a purchase of opportunity, not need or love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 3 hours ago, Ghstudio said: Could you decode the abbreviations for a quality bourbon neophyte..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Which ones have you confused? For example, JDSBBP (sometimes also typed as JDSiBBP) is Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof. Mostly, we take the first letter of each descriptive word for a particular bottle. For example, EWB is Evan Williams Black label which is the 86 proof version of Evan Williams. Similarly, EWW or EWBIB is Evan Williams White label which is their bonded (that is, at least 4 years old, exactly 100 proof, distilled in one season at one distillery (Jan-June/July-Dec) which means NONbllended like some Beam products which are produced at two major distilleries). To be fair, I am sure that some of us, particularly later in the evening, start stringing letters together just to be contrary. BE NOT AFRAID, Grasshopper, to ask us of what we speak. For one thing, most of us don't live near you so can't physically threaten you for asking questions. Don't want to appear "unknowing" in public? Post nine more public messages, and you'll have access to "private" messaging; send a PM to one of us, and we will likely respond with much more than you wanted to know. It's a reason we like this place - gospel spreading. BY THE WAY -- Welcome to SB. Be sure to spend some time using the "search" function on bourbons (or other spirits) you want to learn about. This site has more info on bourbon than anyplace other than the Library of Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Babington Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 so when a wife types "DH" she might mean DH or she might mean DH? I'm guessing most wives mean Gary's DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Oh, and on the topic at hand...I picked up a new one (to me), Very Old Barton. Around $25 for a 1.75L. The manager at my store says he can only get them every few months and they don't last. Figured for the price, at least if it's not the greatest I can mix with it. When I can shake this crud, I'll give it a try and let you know what I think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I had two bottle's of KC but picked up one more. It was the first bourbon I ever tried, purchased at a store in Mobile, AL, while visiting a friend there about 18 years ago. So I have fond memories of it, as well as just plain enjoying it. I wish the price was more reasonable in my area, though I may stock up a bit more, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auracom Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Two bottles of ECBP batch 12 @ $47 each and a 1.75L 4R Yellow Label @ $28. Both the cheapest I've ever come across. Awesome day, one of those that makes you care less about the fall hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghstudio Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I am going to create a list of abbreviations used here on my cellphone. Then as I'm browsing through total wine or other stores, I can look at a bottle and look up the initials to see if anyone recommended it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertckim Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Posted in the summer thread, but figured I would repeat here: From my Costco in Henderson, Nevada, FRSB 100 proof (NN 78-3N) on sale for $36, $9 off the regular price of $45. Seemed like a winner to me, picked up a couple. There were more than a few cases to be had of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
