I would like to see pics of the bottle if you can. Kind of a neat name for a whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 2 hours ago, Richnimrod said: Shows how little appreciation for fine Bourbon they have. Did you educate the poor misguided souls, Kane? Absolutely, I used all my authority and dropped knowledge on the next generation. I did my part, at least got most to try a sip, don't know how effective it was. Some commented that it was actually smoother than they thought, some said they preferred jack & coke. They just weren't ready for the bird. When all's said and done, there was enough left in the bottle to last me the night Kids or not it's shocking how clueless, and worse, closed-minded many so-called whiskey enthusiasts are. This is one of my pet peeves. The other one is American folks who only had a Lagavulin 16 in their entire lives slamming bourbon as corn syrup and screaming how great Scotch is, when the one "alien" guy in the room works his ass off all night to convince them otherwise.

uncork_it_already Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Weekend roundup. Very happy to have doubled up on the Michters as it’s flying off the shelves. Even happier to procure a Boone County Single Barrel after really enjoying their 12yr. After procrastinating all year on the KO Rye B01, finally welcomed it to the collection. Can’t pass up on a OWA store pick and now I’m just hunting the Macallan 1 (wish me luck!) with 2 and 4 already secured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Not a purchase, but my wife and kids got me a bottle of Blade & Bow for my Birthday yesterday. Anxious to give it a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Found a bottle of Weller SR today at Bevmo for $27.99. Couldn't pass it up as it's so rarely seen in the wild here in No. Calif. except at places that mark it up to secondary. There's a nearby store that has it for $59 but I would never pay that for it. It's good but not $60 good, IMO. W12 I would but I have literally never seen a bottle (except at a bar) in the 8 years I've been seriously into bourbon.

mwmac Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just picked up a bottle of OF 1870 on clearance here in Idaho for $29.95! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just picked up a bottle of OF 1870 on clearance here in Idaho for $29.95! Sweet! That’s my second favorite bottling after the 1920 out of the OF Whiskey Row series. I’d jump on a bottle or two at that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theranman Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Added yet another bottle of OWA to the bunker. We seem to be getting this fairly regularly in Ohio for the past several weeks. Now where's the W12 or ETL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Nothing fancy but but good readily available whiskey. Haven’t had the WT rye in years and forgot how solid this is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Today's purchases were another bottle of OWA for the bunker and a bottle of Old Fitz 9yr BIB. Glad this one was cheaper than the spring release. Either way, happy to have both and the hunt continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been weird actually turning down OWA and WSR at prices of $22.99 and $25.99, but the bunker is full. Ohio had ETL a month or two ago, but haven’t seen any since. I’ve never seen W12 in Ohio, but hopefully it will come. ECBP has been pretty regular too. Just got another B518. Good juice. I’m glad Ohio has fixed their relationship with Buffalo Trace.

For me a safer bet is store picks of EC, similar product at a similar age and close to same proof. I wish they’d go back to offering picks on HMcK.

HoustonNit Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 For the record that lone pint IPA is incredible!!!!With the exception of some hazy NEIPAs that are twice the price I think Yellow Rose SMASH IPA from Lone Pint is the best IPA I’ve had.

Looking forward to trying to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
