Sent him home with a bottle. Bunker loves these bottles. OBSK is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin49er Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Scored a bottle of ECBP batch #10 (138.8 proof). First bourbon that I may have slightly over paid for but all things point to it being worth it. Same store has a bottle batch #12 (136.0 proof), may have to grab that one too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nieces remembered that "Bumpa" always asked her to fill his drink glass with Canadian Club - when she asked "how much" (every time), that's what he told her. Nice to have great memories from previous generations, yes? Love this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was surprised to see 1 batch #10, 1 batch #12 and 3 batch B517 on the shelf. I got the feeling that the normal clientele aren't looking to pay $80 for a bottle of bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a bottle of OBSV last week @ 8Y6M and bought it. Good on you for giving your son a bottle. Love sharing with my father and my son! Older bottle, have not seen any 4R PS anywhere close to that age since they changed the neck tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 FO is alright, but certainly not my favorite. I wouldn't normally shell out the cash for this one, but, this caught me off guard. I've seen bottle #'s from recent releases as high as 43276 and priced @ $99.99. This "dusty" bottle was still sitting on the shelf @ a hole in the wall from the first run back in 2014? Or 15? ( I can't remember when FO came out). Anyway, I checked the bottle #, had a good chuckle, and brought it home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Everyone has said great things about this store pick BT. I’m looking forward to a blind sbsbs with this, standard BT, and ER10. I’ve yet to try the WT Rye 101. It has been on my whiskeys to buy list for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Cowboy times! Greetings from Vienna! Two very good "bourbons" there! The Dickel has a very unique taste, but lots of caramel and corn sweetness...when I'm in the mood for its unique flavor, it's hard to beat.

I looked it up apparently they changed the Bookers Basil Hayden and Bakers bottles in the EU at some point to the same bottle shape (the one pictured) to be more in line with typical "Whisky" bottle shapes.

Actually have a soft spot for the A's due what their fans have to live with (Terrible stadium. Terrible owner. Having to put up with Giants fans) Cheers.
