Masset1982 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Some Pikesville, a 2014 CEHT BP and a second bottle of 1792 full proof. Edited May 16, 2017 by Masset1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Great lcpfratn! I need to get around more. My store has pushed up prices on all the allocated stuff. Got a call about a particular brand and got hammered when I paid. I like the LS overall but I'm going to have to set limits.Thanks! I got lucky since I missed the opportunity at Cork's that you were able to score on. Is that your local store?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cheaper than the 750 is here if you can even find it. Holy crap ! That's huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy task to achieve, batch 1 is long gone now. Check auctions maybe you get lucky. Cheers! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masset1982 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've heard that too. Like Stagg jr, first batch was hot as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Picked up a HMcK BIB and a store pick 1792 FP SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nm0369 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Snagged a MM46 cask strength today at $59.99. I'm happy to have the bottle, but slightly annoyed by the circumstances. This was a special "reserve by email" item that sold out within an hour last week. I thought I missed out....only to find a few bottles sitting on the shelf at a different location today. BRL has PS's of each individual stave (10 of the same stave were used). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to reserve one within the hour it was "available." Normally, I miss out because I am not quick enough. I also saw a couple of bottles on the shelf when I went into the store to pick mine up. They had several bottles with names on them in the office but must have received a couple of extra bottles at the store. I already opened it. It is solid neat as well as with a little water.

I've yet to see any of these ps stave bottles anywhere or even heard of them outside of sb. Are they widely available and part of a regular barrel selection program?

My son bought one that was more on the spicy end and I got one with 5 French Mocha staves and it is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Today's haul. The Forged Oak @ $70 is the most I've ever paid for a bottle of bourbon (or bottle of anything). I'd been wanting to try the Lot40 & it was on sale for $35. Another 4 Roses simply because after being initially unimpressed, the deeper into the bottle I got, the more I liked it. A very good $20 bottle. Edited May 17, 2017 by BDanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vismatt Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Had an empty spot in my cabinet, and the Four Grain fit perfectly. I know the reviews haven't been great, but I got it at retail, and I like all of the other E.H. Taylor bottles, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Tried the Four Grain at WhiskeyFest down here last wknd and was very impressed. Had low expectations, but would definitely grab/drink that at retail. Tasty stuff!

GaryT Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Grabbed an 11yr SAOS - mostly intrigued by the low proof (93.4) - but have to admit price was a factor ($50 for 11 yr CS bourbon seems like a pricing error these days!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Its been a pretty productive trip to Mississippi so far! ECBP 136 and 139.4 and jr 130 and 132.5 all out on the shelves and at retail. Kinda kicking myself for leaving an ECBP 136 on the shelf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
