I would be surprised that a retailer still had 2016 ECBPs around. Either way it’s a great bourbon there. It was from a friend as a birthday present.

lcpfratn Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Sat found me in Memphis for the day so I decided to do a little bourbon surfin' - VERY pleasant results, as I haven't seen any of these in Little Rock (yet). Unfortunately had to pass on OWA (first I've seen in the wild in 2+ yrs), $50 Stagg Jr, several ps of 4Rsib, and other opportunites, 'cause the pockets aren't bottomless (and OWA & StJr are already well backed up). I've also got several new mandatory stops whenever in the Memphis area... So what stores did you find that you liked in my neck of the woods?

Natalie's, Stellar Cellar, Caesars, Corks, & Germantown so far. Busters is quite impressive too for selection and store picks, but wasn't as competitive on some pricing, ie the 1792BiB was +$10 per over what I paid elsewhere (may be why they had so much more on the shelf..?), but the Blanton's was priced the same (which the above came from there). Getting away from downtown definitely helped on price on average. Also determined that pricing on what's generally available here and there is @ the same with a few exceptions. We seem to be swimming in WSR for $20/750, while Memphis area is @ $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do occasionally have some great prices on unallocated bourbon, but anything allocated is overpriced and LE stuff is usually priced at secondary prices. Natalie’s, Stellar Cellar, Germantown and Corks will occasionally have some LE and allocated stuff out on the shelf or on the counter at reasonable prices, but BTAC, Pappy and a few other LE’s never see a shelf, and I’ve never had a chance to get any BTAC or Pappy at Natalie’s or Germantown.

I think I need better friends. I do have a bottle of this that I'll get to eventually (currently have an ECBP Batch 9 open). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Picked up a Knob Creek 25th Anniversary on clearance for $99 today. I haven’t been willing to pay the normal retail price for it, but couldn’t turn it down at that price, even though it was still more than twice the price of a regular or private selection KC Single Barrel.

Whiskey Lullaby Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I’m in Indianapolis for work and picked this up at a liquor store downtown near my hotel. I’ve never had RR before, but have heard good things from you all so I’m looking forward to trying it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WT barrel entry proof is 115, so depending on angels share and evaporation, some of those barrels finish at 112-114. Very little cutting to get to 110. Non chill filtered. Generally 9 years or so. Best kept secret in bourbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store manager said he was surprised the EC12 was still in the shelf. I didn't even know about the back label transition.

I only have 1 bottle open of 6. Another 6, 10, 12 closed. The 6 is very very nice, can't say enough how smooth it is for 140 proof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Returned from a road trip to Atlanta. Picked up some stuff in SC and GA on the way there, and some in TN on the way back. Some Barrell releases, KCSB Store picks x5, 4R SBs x5, a "dusty" Booker's from 2012, and a few others, plus some Armagnac and Brandy. This ought to keep me busy for a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
