I picked one up yesterday, but it was quite a bit more expensive. $16 is a steal

Liquor Barn's in KY had some releases yesterday (Saturday).  They had W12, CEHT SmB, GTS Jr., Micheter's Barrel Proof, KC 25th Anniversary, 4R Al Young 50th Anniversary, Jefferson's Reserve Suduiraut Barrel & Woodford Reserve Distillery Series Rye.  You were limited to one bottle (you could exit the store and get back in line (waste of time).  Was there for the Stagg Jr. I was so far back in the line that I was worried that it would all be gone.  Almost everyone leaving the store in front of me had a bottle of W12 in their hands.  Was talking to one of the managers before I got inside and he said the 4R was the first to go.  When I finally got inside I was able to pick up a bottle of:

Thanks to a buddy for picking this up for me.

Tried the samples when the store was picking and this one really spoke to me.

12yr/10months for $40.

Can't beat that!

That is a really good barrel. So un-kc but so good.

They originally wanted to give me the generic KCSB. I said no, there is a special one in back. She brought out one from the 'W' barrel, and said the only difference is this little metal plaque.

She couldn't understand what the difference was. I asked pretty please if she would go back and see if there was another box with a bunch of bottles with an 'L' instead of the 'W'.

She was very surprised that I was right. She was never rude in any way, just not informed about their store picks.

Glad you made it home in one piece. Nice pickups there. Where'd you get the ETL?

I was on the "list" for pre order. They checked my name off as I picked it up. I guess now you can go in and ask for it?

Picked those babies up in Elizabeth, NJ on my way to Atlantic City. Originally got two KCs, but one didn't survive the trip.

Picked it up at a liquor store in what looked like a fairly new shopping development in the Largo MD area off I495 @ 202. Struck up a conversation with the owner about my favorite bourbons and availability in Missouri and then ended up talking about my favorite liquor store in my hometown and relationships with owners and customers... After a while he asked if I wanted to look through his allocated selections in his office. He had some really good stuff and I ended up passing on some prime items (including a member of the BTAC )... Ended up taking home the ETL for a fair price. Actually going to pass it along to a buddy who asked me to grab him a couple good bottles while I was traveling. I have a couple ETL bunkered so I'm happy to share my good fortune.

Nice haul.  Just curious.  Did you get to stop at any of the places in Louisville?

Yep, sure did. On the advice of several on the forum here I stopped at Westport Whiskey & Wine. Fantastic selection and great service! That's where I picked up the Old Fitz BiB, the Old Ezra 101 7yo, and the Smooth Ambler Stillhouse Collection.

Awesome!  A nice store.  I am not familiar with SA Stillhouse Collection.  I was wondering what that bottle was.

This is the first time I've run across it too. But from what I've read it's a release of their own distillate. This one is Recipe #2. It's and only aged 3 years, so it remains to be seen how good it is but I thought it was worth the $27 for a 375ml to give it a shot.

Got a tip and was able to get a Blantons for retail price.  I've looked across 3 states for this one.  Check one off this summer's bucket list.

That looks like a well balanced diet there.
