BT dried up in Indy back in 2014 or 2015 but only for a short period and since it returned, it has been plentiful. I still see it occasionally for less than $19.99. This stuff used to be and should be ubiquitous like JB, EW, etc. I don't understand how it can be allocated in a major area of the country like NY while sitting on the shelves rows deep in another. I have even seen a few single barrel offerings recently. $19.99?! Closer to $30 in these parts. At that price I'd be bunkering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw a single barrel for around $27 recently. I like BT well enough but in the low to mid $20s, I prefer EC. In the upper $20s, I prefer KC. I rarely buy BT anymore. I occasionally buy ER, when available, around $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Found a nice EC12 for the bunker and a lone bottle of SAOS 7yr rye. The rye seems virtually sold out locally, and I almost missed this one. It was on the top shelf and pushed all the way to the back...couldn't even see the label.

We have 6-7 LS's around Hilton Head/Bluffton. Not 1 bottle of BT anywhere. Drive over to Savannah. ( about 35-40 minutes), BT everywhere. Mostly 19.99-23.99 . Makes no sense to me.

Prof_Stack Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Picked up a handle of Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon for $20. That's not much more than the 750mL size bottles in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! i picked up a the same SAOS rye today as well. It's funny because I know a store that has a handle of EC12, but I've got a pretty decent bunker stash of it, but was getting a hair up my butt to go get one more. but instead I got this SAOS rye, OF1920, EWSiB 08, and had to get a fresh eagle rare. about to crach the SAOS rye for a taste right now.

How did you like the SAOS rye, and what batch do you have? I'm waiting to kill a few bottles before I open mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOwhisky4me Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 In anticipation of the ice storm we're having in Missouri right now, I hit a few stores on the way home from work yesterday to pick up extra bags of rock salt, batteries, propane, and other emergency items... Figured that list of emergency items should include a bottle of 4RSiB since I was completely out of that particular offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to kill a few bottles before I open mine. mine is batch 58 bottled on 3/3/15 by the one and only sarah. I liked it - I'm not a rye expert. I just recently grabbed a bunch of rye's to teach myself. I bought a dickel rye, HWRR, baby saz, and then just picked this saos 7 rye as all of the main rye's I wanted to target. From memory it felt in the ballpark of HWRR if you've ever tried that. I the dill-ness was a little more subtle and I thought it had a nice balance between bourbon/rye burn as I sipped. I've only had maybe 2 drams of each of these ryes all on differnet days though. My wife and I were like, we have to do a blind SBS now. She like the rye samplings probably more than me and loved the HWRR so she's excited to try this (she had some dental work done and was on meds so she didn't want to sample) I need to hurry up and do it though. I left one saos 7 rye on the shelf, if it wins the blind SBS i may have to go back for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agalloch Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Stopped by a small store to get some Wild Turkey 101. Their selection was poor but the prices were low. Only saw 81 on the shelf, I talked to the guy he pulled a pint size 101 out. He says the he bought a lot of the 81 and it hasnt been selling. I talked to him a while about bourbon drinkers preferances and prices, he gave me the pint of 101 for 5 bucks as a thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm in the Bradenton/Sarasota area for a ten day stretch, so the depleted 'southern bunker' mending has commenced. So far, I've picked up a 1792 SB, EC12 (last one in the store), and a EHT rye (wrong thread, but I'm lazy). Priorities are fully in check, as grocery, cigar, and hardware store shopping all followed the above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleCBreese Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Picked up a Bourye at $36. That's about half of the usual price around here, so I decided to give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
