BigRich Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Went looking for BT Bourbon Cream to take to a friend tonight as a holiday gift. Was told by the shop owner that he only gets one case a year and sold his last bottle yesterday for $35. He recommended the Black Button as a substitute on sale for $30 down from $33 so I got it thinking it might be my next best choice. Tried another store and they had four of the BT on the shelf for $25 each. Grabbed two, one for my friend and one for me. Just tried some of the Black Button in coffee and it is tasty. Damn, the BT cream is a staple in my house but it runs $20 and is widely available in Atlanta. It's just not $35 goodSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theiano Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just relocated to Boston, went into a liquor store and saw an OWA sitting on the shelf. Decided to help myself to it, $24.99, and no tax, I can certainly get used to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmossle Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 A fellow SBer did me a favor and picked up a KCSB store pick that is 13yrs old in KY and delivered it today. Looking to try this one soon. Have to finish the other open bottle first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 A. Bowman Gingerbread-Cocoa finished. Just different and interesting enough that I justified needing it. I also needed to break the ice on buying my first Bowman product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this at the Tenth Avenue Liquor Store in Portland, which is part of Oregon's liquor store system. They only have one PS on the shelf but had several more in back. I'd heard that they had the 12yo OESV and so asked them for it. The 12+ yo bottlings seem to be getting rare, so I wanted to make sure I got one of these.

Has that delicious creamy custard thing going on in every bottle I've tasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Harry has an SUV, but I can't help but think that if Harry had a car, his trunk would look something like your pic. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Made final state-line run this year. Stocked up on Rye; grabbed the 1792 Full Proof and High Rye; grabbed one more McKenna for safe keeping; and could not resist Canadian Club 12 Classic for 13.99 with in-store rebate. As you can see, I already went and sampled the CC12C. It's really quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limegoldconvertible68 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Out of curiosity what's considered a state line run up there? Wisconsin, Indiana or Iowa? I just know are Illinois prices seem high.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
