[emoji4]Yeah, I may leave this one alone for a while and force myself to buy another at some point.

Hop Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Picked up a couple RY10YR and a Stagg Jr today. Was tempted by a Pikesville Rye but it's readily available so I'll wait. Going to be in some pretty rural areas of Western KY this weekend and will likely do some hunting so I'll wait and see what I find there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Esq. Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Bought my first OGDBiB today. Trying to like it but... it's just weird to me. There's a sour component or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dango Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another work trip , this time to Michigan. I went on a local search and was rewarded.e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfletchgu Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 By looking at the above pictures it looks like the Weller deliveries must all be arriving at the same time. This is the first time I have found any at all (I felt like a kid at the toy store). The ETBIB is another one I have been looking to try and wasn't disappointed. I made a special trip over to Kentucky (luckily for me its only a 30 minute drive) for these so I also picked up a HHBIB while I was there. All in all a successful trip.

MOwhisky4me Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 My favorite local LS owner sent me a text today saying he was holding a Stagg Jr for me if I wanted it. Dropped by after work and went home with this lovely little addition to the family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonDude Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 4RSB. Hadn't tried a bottle in several years. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako254 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Not sure, but I'll brag a little. Visiting my folks in jax and I ventured out for an early haircut. Saw a small shop and was scouring the isles. The kid behind the counter said: 'If you are looking for Blanton's we sold out'. I was eyeing a WT forgiven (since it was discontinued) when I heard the counter kid say: 'the same guy that delivered the Blantons brought elmer something. It's kinda pricey at $39.99 though'. Felt kinda bad cleaning him out but I'm only keeping one out of the bunch. The rest is farmed out to friends and my brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 At least the kid did not try to sell you something that's "just as good or even better" but you never heard of. I'm convinced that for many casual bourbon drinkers, the name "Elmer Something" didn't have much sex appeal. Until , of course, it became known as "the same things as...."

tanstaafl2 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Nice find. Even nicer that you plan to share with friends/family! Although the post probably belongs in the current what did you buy thread. For all the hype on ETL these days (and it is certainly a very pleasant bourbon) it was partly the great price point in days gone by that made it most noteworthy. Still not sure it is a $40 bourbon for me. Then again I still have a few bottles tucked away from when it was plentiful at $25 or less. Sadly those days seem to be gone. For now anyway!

Mako254 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I enjoy it but I reach for others first. I'm bunkering one. We hardly ever see it in south carolina so I have some pretty excited friends waiting on me back home. I've since hit 4 stores in Jax/ St Augustine and haven't found a four roses private barrel yet.

Radioyada Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Technically I purchased a bottle of CEHTBP and a bottle of the Four Grain today, but I have to wait for a friend to deliver them. That will give me a decent backup supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading this thread I sometimes think that I live in a parallel dimension or something. In my almost-daily hunt for spirits all these years, I've encountered precisely 1 bottle of ECBP available for purchase, and bought it at a $20 mark up. In essence, I've found it much easier to purchase a Pappy or BTAC in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
