What bourbon did you purchase today? Fall 2016

[BDanner]

I purchased a Booker's "Toogie's Invitation" ($40) and a Knob Creek 9 yr ($23) form Ace Spirits on line. Had I bought these two in my local ABC they would've run me about $109 out the door. From Ace even with $24 shipping (plus a $5 first time buyer coupon code) I got them both for just under $82. That's $27 cheaper than my state's ABC! I've never had the Booker's and I'm really looking forward to it.

I saw the recommendation in this forum for Booker's novices to try the "Toogies Invitation" first.  Now on my radar as well.  Let us know how you like it.

Just a simple bottle of Russell's Reserve for 25.99.  Been a while since I've had it and I'm looking forward to this evening.

That is pretty good stuff at $20 or less.  NAS FC is apparently pretty bad, but I have a bottle of the 6 year open and several 6 years in the bunker.  A solid budget pour.

Excellent assessment -

They actually had about 10 of them on the shelf, so if I find it agrees with me I'm planning to head back and grab a few more for bunkering

Picked up some bottles on the bourbon trail this past weekend. Got to hand dip my own bottle of Maker's. 

[vismatt]

Picked up 2 bottles of Rebel Yell 10 year SB for $41 each.  Looking forward to trying it after reading some reviews here.

Grabbed an ETL

Been a lurker for a while........

 

Saw my local costco had Bookers at $39.99 and EW Black at 19.19 for a 1.75, so grabbed one of each for a chili bonfire this weekend, and a 1.75 of KC just 'cause

What did you think? I've been looking at this one on the shelf at the local store but haven't pulled the trigger. Thinking about getting one this Friday.

On the road and picked up a couple 4R ps bottles OBSO AND OESF 2 of my favorite recipes and it looks like that OBSO was the last that the LS had.

Was doing some work out of town and came across two ECPB 136 proof.

Getting to dip a bottle of Maker's is a fun experience for.  A  bourbon enthusiast.

I have only two bottles of bourbon prominently displayed in my home. One is a Maker's my Brother hand dipped for me as a gift, the other is the one I got to hand dip on my trip. (With my brother on his 2nd trip).

Today I bought a bottle of Eagle Rare, looked at my failed lottery allocations, and sighed.

I made a Costco run earlier and was able to pick up a 1L of the 'new' Kirkland 7 year old ($29.99) and a Booker's ($39.99).  The great price on the Booker's was too good to pass!

Grabbed a Rebel Yell SB 10yr today after looking for one for a couple of weeks.

An EC12, VOB, a liter of WSR, and another ETL

[KyleCBreese]

Picked up an ECBP for $55 today. I always buy them when I see them, no matter what.

While I used to agree with this stance, I've started seeing bottles priced in the $80-$90 range at multiple stores, which is just too much in my opinion. It used to be awesome finding these for $45, and I bought one recently for $65, but that is about as high as I will go

[Golferpimp1]

Snagged a FC103 6yr today.....too good to pass up for the price, esp since it still had the age statement.

Yeah, I haven't seen ECBP for $45 since batch 1. Prices seem to have stabilized around here in the $70 range, but I certainly see it higher. Occasionally I get lucky and find it for $60. With the BTAC all but impossible to find these days, this has become the next best thing for me.

Anyways, I bought a bottle of OF 1920 today for $60. I couldn't pass it up after reading positive reviews here.

I was in the city (Baltimore) yesterday and stopped by a store I don't often get the chance to visit. Picked up an ETL for $35 and two 1L WT101 ryes for $40 each.
