Added these new bottles to the collection thanks to a new bourbon buddy. Had me feeling like a little boy on Christmas morning.

That's not from a bourbon buddy, you've been blessed by a Bourbon Angel...

I'm thinking I'm one of the few (or 1??) that's been buying 1792HR  from the only shop I've ever seen it at.  Grabbed one, then went back 'cause I felt bad leaving the last one all alone on the shelf...   That's a total of 4 over the past 1.5 months, so methinks I'm set for a little while...

 

Also grabbed a MM46 for $25 on sale.

It was bottled on my Birthday so I'm sure it will be fantastic.

I bought a bottle of Noah's Mill and ECBP today. Very excited to open at least one of them for Father's Day.

Chased a bum lead on W12 (inventory system showed 5 in stock) at a place that doesn't normally have it. Fortunately the lead generator is my wife's cousin that found me some RY10.

 

Anyone know which release year this is? IMG_20180613_214633.thumb.jpeg.59554a0a2f9a2253a775b86573e37cbe.jpeg

Nice that the LRP pick has somewhat of an age statement-- although the months aren't specified…

I see that batch 9 Stagg Jr trying to hide on the shelf above the 1792.  If the price was acceptable that one would be accompanying me out the door.  I have not tried the High Rye 1792 yet.

I'm guessing that's powderkeg's stash since there's a GTS (I'm 92% sure) beside the Jr.

Freshly delivered.

 

Will.

Was it a trade or did you buy it online? If it was a trade, would you mind telling what you traded for it? Thanks

Yup, that's part of the stash - no GTS unfortunately, but a 6 & a 7 to keep the 9 company.  The 10 is off partying in the the bigger cabinet with ETL, RHF, a few Orphans, numerous 1792 cousins, and a whole passel of others...

Amending my above comment to reflect that I've heard from a reliable source that there's a 2018 release with that "aged since" date and that the bourbon inside is 11yrs old.

Interesting that new RYSB is 11yr. This means it’s the same age the new Old Fitz BIB in the fancy decanter bottle but is less than half the price for what’s likely the same thing. Hopefully HH kept the good barrels for there own bottling.

Impulse buy and a little high (plus the shipping) but I haven’t had a bad B yet. 

 

9 year old Warehouse B, 6th floor.

Well it actually isn't bourbon but some of you don't make it over to the rye section very often so I thought I would post it here too.  Had a pour of this last night at a restaurant and absolutely loved it.  They had some at the gift shop today so I picked up a few.

It's cask strength KC Rye from Rickhouse A, which is one of the Frankfort warehouses, built in 1914.  Bottled at 119.6 proof.  They said there are a few bottles out in stores but when it's gone, it's gone.

There is a whole thread on this at: 

Their comment that there are "a few bottles" out there seems odd.  This is the same as the (mostly?) national release of a new product, correct?  Hadn't heard that this would be a one-off release.  The entire first batch was released at 119.6 proof.  Someone in the linked thread made an assumption that if this batch is roughly the same size as a Booker's batch at 350 barrels then there would be about 65,000 bottles of this floating around.  Hoping there are going to be subsequent batches of this released.  One of our local stores had a ton of it at $59.99.
