I always found it to be such a cut above White label and superior to 8 yr black label in those days. 7 years just smokes for Beam whiskey IMO, and 90 proof gave it some umpf. One of the unsung really good bourbons released. Gotta agree on the JBDS - found an 8yr JBB a little while back and it just didn't compare to the JBDS. I'm not a big JB fan - have had mixed results with ps KCSiB, and really don't have much interest in most of the rest that come out of Clermont or Boston - but JBDS and JBDC hit me just right! Actually kinda ruined JBdblO for me too, it just seems kinda thin and weak compared to the other 2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost went into the "What did you pass up" thread, but figured it would cost this much if I ever found it in a bar. At least i get to try 3 or 4 pours... I personally think it's a very good bourbon and at that price would have had at least 3 in my cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Coworker brought me back a SAOS Rye 7yr from Switzerland! She told me she couldnt find any and then at the end of her story she pulled out the bottle. The guy said it was his last one..and its a sarah.

Radioyada Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Got the text from my contact that a bottle of CEHT BP was being held for me, and I picked it up today with a spare ER 10. Edited July 20, 2018 by Radioyada 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymoall Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Picked these up over the last few days. Got the Longbranch in IL at Binny’s on a business trip. Had a $10 gift card, so that made the decision easier. Typically like Wild Turkey offerings, so we’ll see. I’ve been out of Buffalo Trace for a while thinking I should pick up a bottle or two, and a FB post pops up (seems like I get my best posts from liquor stores) from one I’m following saying that the bottles from their barrel just came in...according to them, the BT is 8.5 years old. While I was picking the BT up, I was lucky to spot a lone CEHT on the shelf. This has been on the allocated list here for a while. This store fortunately sells it at MSRP...others have it marked up $20-$30 in put it in a glass case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakdog Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Picked up a Bookers Kathleen's batch and a Blantons store pick. Doing a SBS with the Blantons and regular Blantons now. The store pick is slightly rye forward in a good way and has a little more overall flavor, taste like a higher proof Blantons. May need to go back and pick up another. The Kathleen's batch I had at a bar before and loved it . Both were at MSRP or lower so it is a nice end of a busy week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't NEED either, but 1792RR 8yr ($34+) is the bourbon that got me started, and the JBDS 7yr ($20) is pretty darn good. I've been looking for that JB bottle for my JB bottle collection for a while. Still no luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Picked up some store pick bottles from a couple barrels I recently helped pick. 8yr,6mth OBSF (BP) 7yr,6mth OBSV (100p) both are fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterHorses Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 The SAOS Rye is a 2014, thanks for friends that go to Europe. Got lucky tonight with a RHF on the shelf for $56. A pretty good way to end the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Decided on a whim to stop in at a small LS and found these. First time I've seen KCryeBP and WTRB 116.8 here in the Bay Area. They also had a ECSB store pick so I grabbed that too. All in all a good Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like this, try to find a store pick of the WP 10yo. They're bottled at barrel proof and are amazing! Turns the nose and flavor up to 11!

elmossle Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not today, but yesterday I found a bottle of WSR. Paid more than I wanted to for it, but it is the first bottle of any Weller SR I have seen since we moved last year. Can't wait to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Weller SR I purchased was in NH, two different picks by at the state store in Nashua and they were $20 a pop, guess it was just good timing.

They must ship this west in covered wagons because that one is a unicorn here in the Bay Area. A118 is only starting to show up and I still see C917 occasionally.
