Well, afterall I did create the Wild Williams, and the WW-4 using 101 as my base. I might be disbarred however since I really don't enjoy WTRB. Yes, there's a kink in my armor.

reeko Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't know the Sacramento area that well. I'm in the Bay Area. I would say go to the store(s) that's most convenient to get to. If you don't see something you want, ask the clerk to check stock at nearby stores. Bevmo and TW are both big box chains. I tend to like the selection of bourbon at Bevmo better (they have a store pick program) but it varies by time and location. Things like ECBP, Stagg Jr. Kentucky Owl and Weller come and go quickly but you may luck out. I have from time to time. My local Bevmo has some ECBP currently on the shelf. [emoji33] LE's like BTAC, Pappy, etc. - unicorns...Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably check out bevmo then. Sounds like they have a good selection. The great thing is my cousins are taking us to San Francisco to visit. I'm excited, I haven't seen the bay area in a long time. Should be a lot of fun!

Also went back to a LS that had HMcK10 that was a honey barrel a month+ ago. Still had he same barrel available, and still on sale for $26. Bought 2 with a stack of cases left. Any info on the honey barrel? I think I know what store you’re talking about. Small world! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km1589 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Grabbed a 1.75 ER10 store pick. Is there any easy way to figure out the age of the store pick? I have a few that I would be curious to know the age on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if you contact some distilleries they will give you the information. Just couldn't remember or find if BT was one. Thanks for the insight on this particular pick. Have you had this one?

Curious how it is. I picked up a 750 of this last Saturday on the way home from Kentucky. If I'd have known they had 1.75's, I probably would have bought one. I have a regular ER10 and a ps ER10 open at the moment, so it might be a while before I open mine. Please share your tasting notes. Biba!

Harry in WashDC Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Picked up a KC 25th Anniversary I ordered. Barreled on 2/25/2004, 121.7 proof. I cannot open it, yet. We are going out tonight, so I'll wait until later to taste it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just helped my local liquor store pick a barrel of KC this week and the sample that we picked was 2/14/04 124.7 proof, and it was very good (I think it came from the 3rd floor). lots of leather and wood. And it even got better with a little water. This is going to be a great store pick. You should really enjoy it if its anything like the sample we had.

uncork_it_already Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Been a good couple weeks for me. Picked up a few 1792’s (High Rye, BiB, and Sweet Wheat) over the holiday weekend. Then finally got my hands on a Weller 12 two days later. Next day got Blanton’s Gold and SFTB. Now waiting on a W12 (old label) and ETL to arrive. I’m done for April.

Im working on a Foremost Liquors ER pic still; it seems less sweet than regular ER to me, & I like that. Hopefully the binnys pic is like that as well - I got barrel 61 & they had 3 other barrels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km1589 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I actually ended up with a 750 of Barrel 390 and the 1.75 is Barrel 35 plan to crack one of them this weekend and compare with what I have open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store picks of KCSB have to be the best value going in bourbon right now. Most I've tried have been very good to excellent and the ages have all been pretty high..12 to 14 years. When they bottle the 124.7 barrel you sampled they will knock it down to 120 so it might knock a little of its oomph but they aren't adding much water to get it down. With these store picks available I find it hard to swallow the prices they want for the 2001 and 25th Anniv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very good one though, let me know how those 2017 releases are, maybe i'll go buy one. Enjoy and cheers! Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
