CardsandBourbon Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Got a gift card from the kiddos for Fathers Day so I took that (and a few more of my own $$) and stopped by Liquor Barn at lunch today. 1792 Full Proof, Store Selection (been looking for one). Russell's Reserve, Single Barrel, Store Selection (on sale so I thought, Why not) Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Barrel Proof 116.8 (had my first pour of it Saturday and really enjoyed it) Old Grandad 114 (because when I see it anymore I grab a bottle for the bunker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller542 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Took advantage of a trip to Vegas to grab some bourbons not available in Utah. Picked up Four Roses small batch, OGD 114, and Old Forester 1920. I was really impressed with the selection at Lee's Liquors on flamingo at pecos, it was hard to limit myself to only 3 bottles.

Of those three bottles, I've only ever found ETL 3 times (2 @$40 from different stores that came home and 1 I left on the shelf @$150) I would love to find a W12 at the price. I've only ever seen it a few times either at a bar or behind the glass at Buffalo Trace this past weekend. Yeah, I was pretty excited to get the email. I didn't even know what the prices were, but this store is always right at retail so I was happy with that too. I was just bustin' C&B's chops. I too would walk at $100 or $150.

Richnimrod Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hmmmm, a new (to me at least) bottle style for Rare Breed. AND, a new label, as well. Anybody else seen it this way? ...Or is this an 'OLD' style with which I'm unfamiliar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 WT MK Batch 1 17 yr on sale (Montgomery Co. MD sale ends today $112 instead of @150) and also David Nicholson 1843 100 proof (the wheated) on sale at $19 instead of $22 (MoCo sale on this ends 30 June, and it is #30 in VaABC if you can find it). Passed on basic EC SmB 94 proof @ $30; just haven't learned to like the oaky (to me, anyway) finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phischy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Over the last week I've picked up 4 W12. $24, $28 and 2 @ $30. Rounded up. Can never find ETL or RHF in the wild, but I can find W12 at 5 to 7 a release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrispinD Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I grabbed an ETL last night for $38, the W12s I got were $50 from two different stores and a buddy saw it somewhere for $100Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I bought a bottle of Baker's on closeout for $33.99. Not something I usually have around, but hard to pass on for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOwhisky4me Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Visiting the Washington DC area for vacation with the family and hitting a few liquor stores here and there to satisfy my insatiable desire to acquire bourbon! Hit a small liquor store in the Largo, MD area and got to talking with the owner (Sam) about my favorite bourbons and my favorite liquor store back in JC, MO... He enjoyed the conversation enough to give me a hefty discount and I walked out with a bottle of ETL for $32. Gotta love those privately run liquor stores!

El Vino Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 1792 Sweet Wheat. First time I have seen one on the shelf in NJ. Thought about buying two of the three I saw but decided to try it first. Glad I did what I did. I love my wheaters, but this one lacks the character needed to be considered a better wheated bourbon. Mild barrel notes, a little acetone in the nose, but nothing noticeable from the mash bill - just sweet. Could easily be confused with Bernheim wheat whiskey. Will see what some air does for it, but as of now not a repeat purchase for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioyada Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Went back and purchased the bottle of ECBP A117 that I had passed up over the weekend. I did not really need it, but an extra bottle never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a really nice shop in what looked like a new shopping plaza. I will risk going to a "sketchy" shop in a bad area from time to time, but family vacation ain't the time. Now we're in Richmond, VA for a couple days and then heading back home by driving through Kentucky. Staying in Frankfort on the way through. Bringing this back on topic... Picked up a bottle of WTRB 112.8 and a bottle of Stagg Jr in downtown DC before leaving to head to Richmond. Surprisingly fair prices at the shop I popped into.
