My wife got me the Jack Daniel Sinatra as a Valentine Days gift.  Yes, I believe its a bourbon.  No, I won't debate it.

Correct!

I was lucky enough to pick up a bottle of EC18 from my local purveyor here in Ohio.  It was $130 before tax....this use to be a daily drinker for me 6-7 years ago when you could always find it on the shelf here for under $60.

MM PS from Specs, ECBP C917, & Belle Meade SiB 10yr in College Station, TX.  MM PS is very nice (110.2pf) at a good price.  Admiring the other two (2) bottles for  now.    :lol:

Yeah around me they had the C917 in the ABC's.  Although I did see a random B locally at the same time.  I'm guessing they had a few A and B's in the Richmond warehouse and sent them out with this latest batch

Well I did find a A118 around town this week and got one of those as well.

Got an OWA for $29. Very nice price for Boston. These were the bottles I passed on 3 months ago, and they are still there. I think that's because it's a poor grad student neighborhood.

 

This is also my second repeat purchase in 7 years.

I married well. My wife was in Tallahassee on a field trip with my daughter. She is sick as a dog and on her way home she stopped at Market Square Liquors fo pick up a few store picks for me. I met the their Barrel tasting team in Bardstown about three years ago while on a distillery tour. Great guys and they likely have the best liquor store in Florida for a bourbon drinker.

Local grocery chain got their MM PS in recently. It's 112.x proof. Going for $70 which seemed a bit steep. What's it going for there?

"Friendly" price after chatting up the store manager about bourbon for 20+ minutes was $53.63 + tax (!?!).  IIRC, the State of Texas got 8% maybe?    :wacko:

 

FYI, Belle Meade 10yr SiB was $57.99 and the ECBP C917 was $53.86 before taxes ($13.65 for all 3 bottles - I'm too tired from our Chinese New Year's banquet last night to figure out the rate, sorry).    I thought the prices were more than fair.   :D

In Chicago for the weekend wanting to know about any good stores near mt prospect 

There is probably a Binny’s near there. They usually have a huge selection.

I think $70 is generally around the going rate that I've seen for MMPS

Bought a Stagg Jr. batch 9 for $60 to see what the fuss is about and if it’s better than other batches. 

 

Passed on OWA at $80 at a store that has some deals but has fully embraced secondary pricing (and then some) on stuff people ask for. Knowing that Weller had hit the distributor, however, I stopped in a local where I have a good relationship and asked. Owner pulled an OWA from behind the counter for me @ $35. Also grabbed some duclaw hell on wood barrel finished barley wine, Goose Island bourbon county stout and some proseco for the wife while I was there.

Shopping day! ;) I didn't want to waste a trip, so I figured I had to buy something since my store sold out of their ps BT.  I saw all the positive comments here about Stagg Jr Batch #9, so that's what came home with me today. :D

I grabbed a 1.75 of WT101 for $29.99, a 375 of MMCS for $19.99, and a 750 of Ezra Brooks bourbon cream for $11.99. I’m excited to try the MMCS based on what others have said. The other two just couldn’t be passed up on based on the pricing.

Found two dusties today, only one being bourbon, a Wild Turkey 8 year. I also found a bottle of Cutty Sark 12 year from the 60s or 70s for $18 and I felt like that would be fun enough to try at that price.

I really love Hell on Wood, has been super underrated for years now but hits in my sweet spot.

Friend of a friend bought a barrel of Bowman. Haven’t had it but my buddy says it is pretty solid.

Found an ECBP A118 today - I've been having FAR better luck finding stuff down here (and in Memphis) than I ever did in KY....
