Found a great new local store spent about 45 min in there talking with the owner. He had several store pics one of which was an awesome barrel bourbon pick. However I️ wasn’t ready yet to drop 89 on it. I️ did manage to come home with these below. I️ think he has another ec pick coming this week or next as well.

vismatt Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Yesterday was a good day. Picked up a Little Book and a Stagg. Edited December 22, 2017 by vismatt 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller542 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Picked up a Jim Beam Distiller's Cut. Because it's probably the best value in the entire Beam portfolio (other than those one-off $25 Knob Creek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollBourbonRoll Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 While visiting family in NC this week I picked up a 1792 BiB, a Toasted Rye Michters and also an E.H. Taylor small batch. I got all of them at MSRP since NC only has state prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dango Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Couldnt resist for 85.00, turned a previous offer down on this one for 98.00. Hope it’s good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Had to pick up some last minute stuff and decided to stop and maybe pick up a bottle for my niece's husband who is starting to get into bourbon. Found this which was barreled on 10/14/04. So it's 13 year. Picked one up for him and for myself . . . Signed by Fred Noe. Merry Christmas to me.

Stump1998 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Picked up a couple EC store pics for $26 bucks a piece, a WSR for $22, JB Distiller's Cut, for $21, and 1792SMB for $25. 5 solid bottles for $120 bucks, can't beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I don't know who this Cask Strength Society is but they tend to have some good picks here in the Garden State, this is no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I really, really liked the ps handle of BT that I bought a while back. So I picked up another one this afternoon. As Kevin stated in his post earlier, Merry Xmas to me! Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtur Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Gotten lucky lately with some harder to find mid-shelf bottles. OWA, Weller SR, Blanton’s, Four Roses 2017 small batch, and a Makers Mark Private Select, all at MSRP or slightly below. These days, I really don’t need much more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Stopped into Total Wine to pick up some beer, and wandered over to the bourbon aisle. Decided I would look for an OF 1920, as I wanted a backup for my backup. Seemed to be out, but I decided to dig into the Statesmen and 1897 or whatever other OF varieties were there, and lo and behold, there was a lone 1920 mixed in there.As to 1920, I had thought it was supposed to be something of a regular release, but supply has definitely whittled down here in NJ. I think it is an outstanding release in the sub-$60 category, and one worth bunkering a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was about my max price price to pay for it. I'm sure I paid a bit over MSRP, but I'm ok with that. For me its not always about the bargain. Hope you enjoyed your dram as much as I did.

HoustonNit Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 My new rule..... 4 empties before 1 bottle purchased unless some rare/limited offering. My bunker is way too big, help!Seems pretty solid. Can be hard when store X finally gets in that barrel selection, or you somehow unexpectedly win the store lottery or all crap is that a $30 bottle of W12, can't say no to do that.

Also have a bottle of Statesman and while not as good as 1897 or 1920 it holds its own for an under 100 proof pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
