MOwhisky4me Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ran by my go-to local shop in hopes of taking home a bottle of Old Forester 1920... Wasn't disappointed! Looking forward to breaking into this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious-Peanut Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Finally got a bottle of CEHSB at a grand opening. Excited to try it. Also finally found EW bonded. Not sure why it was so hard.. They had Stagg Jr but I'm not at barrel proof yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Stagg Jr but I'm not at barrel proof yet. You don't have to be at barrel proof to enjoy it, do like the distilleries do and knock the proof down a little with some water. Not many on here drink a 136 proof with at least a few drops of water. Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$helby Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 5 hours ago, Hop said: Nice pickups this week @$helby - I got a call from a list I went on about two years ago for a ORVW here in NC as well and just got a call from another store for a bottle of EC18 - not that I don't like it or wasn't interested but not something I was chasing since I have a couple already but when your local Store Manager supports you then you need to support them... For other NC buyers - I just noticed that ECBP is having a price increase on 11/1 to $54.99 from $49.99 so if you see it and are on the fence that might just push you over... I totally agree with the support issue. That's how I ended up with another AB Gingerbread Cocoa. He specially ordered a case in for me. I originally bought 2 bottles of the six. When I went in this time he still had 3 left so I bought another. Guess if he still has two left in a couple of weeks, I will buy one more. It sure helps that I genuinely like it!

Masset1982 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Purchased 2 Four Roses Small Batch LE 2016 at €95 each (I'm glad it was not only 1 per custumer). Today is a good day. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggJ Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Grabbed a Bib and Tucker, EH Taylor Single Barrel and a 4R Single Barrel Private Selection. Earlier this week. Opened the 4R and am really enjoying it. Interested in Trying the Bib and Tucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW I'll enjoy the Booker's, and I expect to find the OF1920 at least interesting. The OFBB has been a puzzle so far (one very small pour only). Nose was excellent! Palate, however, skewed waaay toward citrus rind. Not a big fan, yet. This may improve with some air in the bottle. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. I think I posted something in the premium section OFBB thread about this. My thoughts exactly were that the nose was great, and then the palate/finish were a letdown. Dry. Just not great, for something that has doubled in MSRP over 3 years from $40 to $80 basically. And even with that hike still super hard to find this year. I think I'm done with OFBB until something changes for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Saw Bowman Bros on the shelf for the first time so I picked one up to give it a try, but the real excitement came when the manager told me he had ETL coming in next week and asked me if I'd like him to hold one for me! I held up two fingers and he said ok! Been a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I picked up an OGD BIB for $18 sale price to try and reassure myself that I won't really miss OGD 114 as much as I think. Yeah....I'm gonna' miss OGD 114 as much or more than I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
