I was grabbing some other stuff yesterday and saw a lonely bottle of WT Kentucky Spirit on the shelf so he went home with me too. Is anyone else seeing WTKS growing in scarcity (oxymoron?) or is it just where I shop? Although, I do frequent quite a few stores at different times.

Now that you mention it, I'm not seeing this one as much either. I can only think of one store that has it and I only see 1-2 bottles at a time.

I acquired the Hard Water bar pick through a trade on Instagram. Confirmed with BT that it is what it appears to be. Grabbed this today, last one on the shelf!

I'm curious to get your thoughts on the OKI. I passed that bottle up the last time I was in KY (I saw a sherry cask finished and I believe a brandy cask finished offering also). I came home with a bottle of Pinhook instead.

Really enjoyed a pour at a restaurant, but I don't know for sure if it was the 10 year that I tried. Will share my thoughts when I open this one.

I've been quiet on the buying front, but as I was returning from a trip to the Cayman Islands this weekend, I took a look in the Duty Free stores in the CI airport. First stop, nothing special. Smaller store next door, finally saw some Blanton's SFTB and Blanton's Gold in the wild. $90 apiece, 10% discount, so $81 apiece. I knew I had to get the SFTB, but I couldn't remember if the Gold was in the same league. To be safe, I bought two of each. Very happy.

Wise choise, those are both very nice, never had the gold, but my bottle SFTB is pretty nice. Enjoy it! 

 

Will.

Finishing a bottle of their 9 yo SB.

Man, it's good! 

Impossible to purchase one single bottle since I've bought mine more than year ago. Such a beautiful bottle!

^Hop are you a distributor or something, you must be better stocked than almost any liquor store.

I bought these over the weekend. Based on numbering from the bottle assume they are from 2004. Will crack one open as soon as I finish my handle of OC8yr. This stuff is excellent only wish I had the 101 age stated. Thinking about mixing two parts OC8 and one part Stagg Jr. 129 to get the proof in at over 96.

Lucked upon another Weller 12. Cheers!


On the shelf in the wild? I think they must of shipped some out I'm guessing late last year or early this year. Read an article from last September saying to expect a new batch of W12 this spring with the new bottle which I guess means very soon.

Online actually (where I get most of mine). The UK only recently had the 2016 release which had been sat on by the distributor. This was the last of that I presume. Was still the old style bottle.

A bottle of new style OWA which I guess these days only called OW. Either way it heads to the bunker as a replacement for the bottle I finished off last week.

Nice catch... I'm not an OGD fan, but I'd love to get my hands on a CEHT BP!

Down in NC for the week visiting. In checking out their website I see they carry OWA with a retail of $32.75. Since Va doesn't sell it I'll have to make some room in the trunk for a few bottles. :D

Bought a bottle of OWA in the new style bottle.  I think this is the first batch of the new style to make it to Oregon.

Last OWA on the shelf and priced right @ $27.99. The RR10 was still priced at $19.99 so how could I resist.

Excellent on both accounts. Russel's Reserve is generally 39.99 at Bevmo around here. I am hoping, at some point, these make it into the local Costco and I can buy a case (at retail!!!!!!)

 

Huzzah.
