What bourbon did you purchase today (winter 2016/17)?

Not sure but I think it was $76.  It's on it's way up here too.  I paid $66 a couple of weeks ago for Batch 2016-06.

Yeah it's up to $100 state min here from what was $60 for a long time. Glad I snagged a few before the hike.

Grabbed another new style bottle of ECBP. Maryland seems to have gotten a good amount of this batch after personally not seeing a single bottle from the last batch.

Curious how this guy tastes -- let us know when you have a pour of it.  Couldn't happen to a nicer bar... 

 

 

lots of sweetness, must be from the rye. so good I just made a run into Binny's Lincoln Park for another bottle

and another bottle of the Virginia Distillery Highland Malt Port Finished.

and a Michter's Sour Mash, because I walked by it and like it

 

24 miles each way. 1 hr 20 minutes door to door despite a freight train, slow drivers in left lane on Edens and a little extra browsing while there; tristate tollway home picked up some time as traffic moves much faster (closer to 100 than 55, shall we say)

My lovely girlfriend found me a bottle of EC12 in an out-of-the-way liquor store. I have some EC12 bottles bunkered but almost all of them are private selections, so it's nice to have a few distillery bottlings tucked away too.

ha, with the speed limit on the tristate now at 65 I feel the need to go at least 85 on there!  was this only at the Binny's downtown?

Anything less than 85 gets you rear ended!

I finally found a CEHTBP. Never had it before. It's one of the bottles I didn't see all last year so I'm super excited to give it a taste. This is a 127.5 proof bottle. I now have 98 bottles of bourbon and I told my wife I wouldn't go over 100 so I really need to empty a few. 

[CardsandBourbon]

Decided I can never have enough    so I stopped by the store and picked up a bottle at lunch.

Not technically a purchase but a local Easterseals event had a raffle for a bottle of the 1980 O.F.C. bourbon with a bottle of Lot B as 2nd place.  A friend and I went in on tickets (since it was 1 for $50 or 3 for $100) and his ticket was drawn for the Lot B.  I've had Lot B before and have a bottle in the bunker but it's still cool to win, and of course help a charity.  We will open the bottle to share with friends at an upcoming dinner party, then divide the remaining contents for consumption at our respective homes.

 

The O.F.C. bottle would have been so great to win though...

You think like my Father in Law, he has to keep 4 or 5 handles and one or two fifths of WSR on hand at all times.

You need to remind her that you said you wouldn't have 100 "open" bottles of bourbon.     Find the loophole fast...

I spent my allotment for March already! One bottle of Buffalo Trace is for a birthday gift, so it's not all for me. Love the 375ml of Blanton's! All in all, this is a pretty fine haul in my book!

Congrats on the Lot B. Nice way to share it too. Good job.

 

Cheers! Joe

I was down to less than half a bottle of Russell's Reserve, so I bought another. I'd like to get a bottle about every week or two until I get a whole case of it bunkered. I think it tastes wonderful.

Our Costco has those for $21. I bought one due to the price alone, I'd rather have the WT101 though. Glad you enjoy, and hope you're finding it as cheap as I did!

Exactly, Costco makes it cheaper than WT 101 around here. I have two decades of mostly only drinking WT 101 (when I would drink bourbon), so the Russell's Reserve is a great change of pace but still has that familiar Wild Turkey DNA.

Who must be a very intelligent, refined man.

Shocked to see a family sized WSR in a VA ABC store. Even more surprised when I got to the counter and heard "that will be $21"

Wow! And I thought $23.00 was a good price for a ps handle of SR. Congrats and enjoy.

 

Cheers! Joe

Was lucky enough to locally score two (2) bottles of W12 - $34.99 ea. OTD today.  First I've seen in the wild around these here parts under $300, so I jumped!  Rather be lucky than good, no?   

 

 

[Clueby]

I'm a hypocrite! I broke down and bought a Blanton's today. Its not my favorite but I wasn't sure when I'd see it again for retail.. $55. Should have stocked up on ER10 instead for $28!

Funny how the current market has changed our perspective on value and pricing.  I walked away from multiple bottles of W12 at $30 a year or two ago thinking it too high. Still had the typical $25 price on the brain. But now, I'm sure I would have grabbed them just as you did.
