What Bourbon(s) Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2017 Edition.

[Whiskeythink.com]

Not a purchase, but made a trade & brought home a Blantons SFTB. I typically pass on Blantons only because I feel its a bit expensive for what it is, but have always wanted to try SFTB. I gave up a 1.75 W12 for it. Cant wait to open it up!

And charged you MSRP?

Slight premium it seems ghetto shops sell this for $38 while other stores seem to charge $30-$35. Gougers try to get $40-$80. I'd probably buy at $40 but not more. This is Texas and W12 is somewhat well distributed.

Picked up a spare Blanton’s. One of my favorites!

Just ordered form a local-ish store with nice PS options. Got 2 KC SiB at 13 years and 2 ER10 at 11yr7months. Im not a four roses fanatic but I keep wanting to buy an 11yr7mo OBSF  but need to try it before spending 75 on it.

The shape of that Booker's bottle looks... wrong.

What do you mean wrong. It's the same as on this site: https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/bookers/bookers-7-year-old-true-barrel-bourbon-batch-2015-02-whiskey/

^Did Binny's pick that barrel? If so you should be in for a treat.

Indeed! Excited to try it. It will be the first barrel pick I try from them, which ones have you enjoyed?

Nothing from Binny's directly but had several cask strength SB of MGP from SAOS. Some are good and some are great. If Binny's was able to pick from several barrels this should be really good.

This reminds I need to get another SAOS SB.

Not today but my last purchase was Saturday while in KY and it was a pair of HH6BIB

I generally like at least 3 spare Blantons myself. Nice pick up.

Hirsch Small Batch Reserve 7yr for $9.74.  There is no way I would pay the $30-$40 original price for it, but, $10 is an easy decision.

Dropped by my primary shop hoping to catch my guy and BS a little, see if they had anything and if not make a relationship maintenance purchase of Larceny. My guy wasn't in but I snagged a Rebel Yell 10 year for $54. I have been hoping to snag one. Glad I found one. 

 

And I still ended up w/ HH wheated juice.

Very nice, please enjoy. I would love to hear the details on how you scored those fine bourbons?

A few years of bunker building, buying wine for Mrs JT, talking, purchasing the occasional less than stellar product. Basically a lot of mileage, a LOT of purchases, a sample here and there. I honestly wasn't expecting this... was hoping for a GTS and maybe a THH... I was floored when I was emailed these were waiting for me!

Thanks to @NDN98 I was able to pick up a 4R SB PS.  This one is very tasty.  And it goes down as my first store pick for 4R

Just picked up a bottle of RHF.  Looking forward to sampling this one...
