BigPapa Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Snagged a Wild Turkey 12yo on Ebay Germany. Someone tipped me about it, apparently there were 3 bottles available but the time i got there, only one left. Can you purchase whisky on European EBay and have it shipped to USA?I didn't think eBay allowed that.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Picked up a couple bottles of 1792FP PS (aged at least 8 1/2 years) at one of my favorite beverage stores. The owner also talked me into a bottle of his 4RSiB PS 100p selection after I passed on it the last time I visited...he said it was so good, and he doesn't usually steer me the wrong way. I'm looking forward to the 4RSiB PS CS (aged over 13 yrs) that he's supposed to be getting in soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest barrel we had available was 10y 1m (and it was in my opinion the worst of the barrels we tried). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as connections go, this store was only one of two to receive a bottle of Pappy 25 yr in the area, so yeah he is pretty well connected.

Kpiz Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Made my first trip to Kentucky last weekend and brought home these bottles. The EC Barrel Selects were just too unique to pass up (the bottle if not the liquid). The KC on the left is a PS for Old Town Liquors in Louisville, and the KC on the right is one I bottled myself (sort of) at the Beam Distillery. I'll write up everything in the Distillery Trips forum soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought a Jack Daniel's BP from a US seller once, no problem but i don't know if it works the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Stopped in a store on a whim this afternoon and lucked into 1792 Sweet Wheat... would play the lottery now but my luck probably ran out on finding this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musekatcher Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Picked up ** bottles today from a private barrel selected in nearby Tullahoma. 10.5 year, 103 proof, with our groups monogrammed commemorative badge. Here's a Whiskey Jug review on the 10 barrel small batch that this distillery does annually: http://thewhiskeyjug.com/tennessee-whiskey/george-dickel-single-barrel-review/ Initial tasting confirms this is pretty special. I'll post a review when I gather the courage to crack open and explore one of *my* bottles - I'm a horder and stingy about it, so it may be a while. FYI, the private barrel program at this distillery is an outstanding value. Its going to be hard going back to my RR10 tonite...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know as those little grenades are 200ml I believe. And at gift shop prices which as far as I know is the only place they sell them. Last I heard it was about $25, maybe more.

I paid $29.99 each for them...not the best value but they seemed like a cool souvenir. They limit them to 1 per person and keep them in the cabinet behind the counter, so bring a friend and make sure to ask if they have 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbon4all Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Today's loot. I have quite a bit of the Turkey 101 rye but none of this label. Tangle ridge is alberta distillers, it wasn't dissapointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpartan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Picked up a Stagg Jr 130 proof batch for $49.99. I needed a backup for the one I have and worried I won't be able to find a replacement when I actually want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourserker Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 A couple of days ago I bought a Russell's Reserve 10 year. I really like it, it tastes like a older slightly woodier WT 101, which is what I assume it is. Anyway, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
