What bourbon did you purchase today? Summer 2017 bragfest!

[Golferpimp1]

Excited to try this when I can pick it up from my brother who claimed it for me.

Found this on a clearance shelf (but you never get a clearance price here in Michigan). If I remember, the 2006 release was a bit of a lightening rod--when everyone was saying goodbye to 10-year-old bourbon inside. This one clocks in at over 9.5 years. Wonder now how this would compare to a 2009. Guess l'll have to find out...

This came in the mail today in France, excited to pop them open.

 

 

Is there a store that ships from France?

Not really sure my in-laws ordered this, I'm in France. I need to ask them but I actually think this came from Spain per the a tax strip that says Spain. I opened up the Gold last night which was really good and surprisingly much better than the standard bottle. It has a 2015 bottle date, the SFTB has a 2014 date. I'm thinking them being a couple years old helps.

Ordered a FR "Al Young" LE Whiskey Magazine pick from Julio's for $69.99 - limit one per customer.  OBSQ SiB, #LE Barrel #53-1P, 10yr 1 mo, ABV 54.3%.  Back to the Cult!  

  

Must be similar to the "Icons of Whiskey" release. Bayway got an OESK branded "Al Young" LE Whiskey Magazine pick.  Hope you enjoy it!

I took the bait at this price...

[Bourbonmakesmepoop]

Picked up an EHT 4 Grain, EHT Barrel Proof, and a Knob Creek 25th Anniversary all for $220 out the door. Hell of a deal if you ask me

Woah! You pretty much robbed them then. Let us know what you think of the 4 grain.

At that price I would have likely done the same. I'm surprised the Taylors were around at all. 

[Kepler]

So I was just thinking...I wonder if we should expect to see from one of the Texas whiskey companies like Garrison Bros. or Balcones a "Hurricane Surviving" LE on the shelves about a year from now?

Considering neither is anywhere near the coast, "rain-surviving" might be more apt.  So, yea, we'll see a Hurricane Edition.

I realized I had been mainly drinking old favorites for the last six months or so and decided to pick up something I hadn't had before. Didn't feel like spending too much so I grabbed a Bowman small batch. First impressions: pretty good and surprisingly viscous for 90 proof.

Surprise random sale at a local resulted in a W12 & RHF this week.

 

Found an old 2014 double rye amongst newer bottles while at another store today (it has the old label that says blend of 16 yr. & 2 yr.).

The new label doesn't mention the 16 year component.

It's also bottle # 3333 which I think is kinda cool,

but, I'm easily amused.

I believe it is the same barrel  I should probably go get a replacement bottle before they run out.  I like this particular barrel better than any of the 3 Old Forester Whiskey Row bourbons.

 

I picked up one of these late this afternoon at True Spirits, along with a 1792FP single barrel select. They still had several of each on hand.

And they'll be released about the same time that eclipse bourbon gets released.

Silverc knocked it out of the park. 

[Golferpimp1]

Picked up a stagg jr. And a hmk10 this week. Hmk10 is really turning into my daily drinker. Ironically I was really disappointed by my first bottle, but the next one got me hooked. Great caramel flavor with some nice spice mixed in. Great value bottle as well. If I were only allowed one bottle at the house (blasphemy I know) it would probably be hmk10.

Now that's a haul! Good stuff S. I'm guessing that your bunker wasn't bare, so it looks like you'll be even more well supplied for quite a while.  Cheers and enjoy!

Sweet haul!  Do you know the ages on the KCSBs that you bought?  I got a bottle of the "Stripes" barrel from Cork N Barrel and that one is 13 years.  It's pretty fantastic juice.

Hah good point!  I didn't think of that one but you're right. That partial sunlight surely would have a special effect on the oak in the rickhouse, dontcha know.
