While out today having lunch and shopping with the wife I remembered that we were not far from a store that has a great store pick of 4R OESV,  That meant a trip there to pick up a backup bottle for the stash. 

What a happy "coincidence"?

Bought these two WTs last week on Thanksgiving "break".

When pewter just won't do, you must go for the gold. Very nice.

Pays to build those relationships with the store managers...  while I've been gone for over a month I had these waiting for me when I returned.  Not only did I get back to see some friends I also got back on the motorcycle while the weather wasn't too cold and getting your "knees in the breeze" will do wonders for your attitude

Just when I thought LE season was over... 

Pays to build those relationships indeed... I did well this yr with stuff I thought I’d never see. I got this and Al Young, GTS, WLW, ER17, THH, Lot B, ORVW, PHC 11, EC18, CEHT BP and 4G. Every single one at, or really close to retail. And each with an email that it was being held for me.

Congrats on a very good year...and to great relationships!

Thanks to El Vino for pointing me in the direction of these bottles. I had been saving my last bottle of this 11.5 year OBSK for a while. 

 

Anyone have any insight as to why a barrel select would show up at a store that didn't select it, 4 years later? I know Canals has no problem selling their selections, so I was thinking it must have been lost at the distributor and found years later and offered to whoever wanted it.

Reading this a few months late...but I’m pretty sure I know the store where you found that one. They’ve actually been on the shelf for several years — they did not just appear recently.  The manager once told me that Canal reneged on the original order for a certain amount and so the distributor offered them to the store that has them now.  

 

If I am right about the store, it bought out another liquor store a few years back and opened that location which is not its only store. I don’t know if those bottles were initially bought for the main store location or for the opening of the store I think you were in, but I’m pretty sure I noticed them right when the new location opened.  I know it’s been a while as I can picture them in at least three different locations within the store — so, they’ve lasted through at least three store reconfigurations.  

 

I wondered how long they would take to drift off the shelf.  Good stuff at a good price (although, and I could be wrong, but I think they were even cheaper when I first noticed them a few years ago).  I think they’ve been able to exist in obscurity partly because the store across the street gets more traffic.  Hope you enjoy it as much as the original one you bought!

 

Now, that’s a lot to write if I’m wrong about the store!

Picked up these 3 this week. 99% sure the ORVW is the sole LE I'll be nabbing this year, but after opening it and getting my nose in the glass, I'm definitely glad I was able to get it!

Nice score.

I hadn't even heard that 1792 BiB was being released.  That's quite a surprise!

I'll definitely be on the lookout for that.

I had a taste of the ORVW10, a few days ago, and really liked it. I wish I had a bottle.

I've never seen any LEs the 2.5 years I've lived in GJ so far.

1792 BiB ? Never heard of this one, pretty sweet haul !

Well I didn't totally strike out on BTAC this year, I'm OK with this as a consolation prize considering it was $99 and any of the others would likely have been at gouge pricing.

Congrats.  I'm in a drawing to buy a BTAC.  Not holding out much hope that my name gets pulled.

THH is actually the top choice for some. I think I'd probably choose it over ER17 and Sazerac 18, but then again I haven't tried those two either.

I've only had Stagg, Saz18 and THH before and of those three it's my last choice, nothing wrong with it at all, I might chose it over ER17 myself.

I am that guy. And for some reason this is *the* bottle I fail to get since 2013.

I got a bottle last year, and was hoping I'd score one again this year, but my chances are getting slim.
