Old Ezra is not one I've had but I do like HH stuff. 

 

I cant get enough rock hill farms right now. I get this candied cherries/ almost like a cherry sno-cone thing. Good stuff. 

OE 101 7yr may be an acquired taste.  As I posted months ago on an other thread, I bought a bottle while it was being discussed on SB because (A) it was cheap ($20 or less per 750) and (II) I'd never tried it.  I fell in love with the mushroom, Fall leaf mold, earthy, charcoal, wet garden glove, etc., mixture it presents (pre-ZENTS. not PRESS-ents).  Funny you mention that cherry essence.  I could not place the sweet kick it gives me.  THANKS!!

 

RE: RHF - I bought one when I bought the OE101 7yr supra this thread.  YUM!

I agree. Let's not do that ;-)

i.e., let's not go back to the scholastic argument of whether JDB technically meets the definition of "bourbon" which it does.  I like that shadow thumb thing.  Is better than a new thread  fighting over nomenclature, and I don't have to type so much.  BTW, on the substance of your post - RE the JD barrel strength single barrels or whatever they are calling them, I agree: they are excellent.  Drinking these takes me back 45 years to when I discovered JD Black neat.

Just picked up a store pick OWA 107. Was told by the manager that went to the back to get it I got the first bottle.

^Nice barrel select Antique.

[JCwhammie]

These three for $126. The Pikesville was $35.95. That’s about $10 cheaper than back in STL.

Indeed they are.

Very likely my last Bourbon purchase of the year lest I can get my hands on one of the 45,000 GTS coming in Nov. Bourbon prices are getting seriously crazy. These were $45/50 hardly two or three years ago, now, pushing a $100. Hope yall have had good hunting! Happy fall, Roll Tide!

This reminds me that it's been a few years since we've had a multi-page, spirited and utterly pointless thread debating the JD "Is it, or isn't it?" question!  

Because it's been settled... nobody cares!

Not bourbon but 2 x saz @ $23.99. Thank you Costco

Today I found out at what price point I'll buy EWSB.....$14.99. I've passed on these the last few years since the age has declined (and the quality, IMO) but when I saw the stack of cases and the sale price of $14.99 I figured, what the hell, buy a bottle. I did resist the urge, however, to open the bottle in my car, take a swig and see if I should go back to buy more. Maybe a mistake but I kinda doubt it

I pretty much quit buying it for the same reason Gary. I can get Mckenna bonded for the same money, which makes EWSB an easy pass. But, like you, I would be a buyer at $14.99.

I couldn't help myself.  

 

Cheers! Joe

I'm still an occasional buyer when I find EWSB bottles that are over 8 years old, which many of the later 2009 vintages are. I probably would have bought a case at that price.

It actually cost less than the BP did. A friend of mine found it and picked it up for me.

Damm, nice score. Been trying to fine one or both of those.

May have went a little overboard, but don't have to worry about Wellers for a while.  Was a 14hr round trip from home (STL) to find this stuff.  Wife's out of town and will never know.... life is good boyz!!!

Is this how every October/November is? Holy smokes!

[Gorzo]

Gotta stock up on OWA.  Never know how much you will need during eggnog season.
