Golzee Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Finally tracked down a bottle of ET BIB here in IL. Love the liter bottle. It could give JWD BIB a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around $25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their closest stores are both about a half hour away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Myself, wife and son went to the BTAC PVW drawing on Saturday morning at our local LB. Wife and son struck out but I didn't. The PVW was gone first and my hope was for a WLW first and and GTS second. Second isn't too bad.

PowderKeg Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Stopped back at the Lex TW on the return leg after TG in the Shenandoah Valley. I know Big Level hasn't gotten much love, but I figgered WTH, I'm blowing up the bourbon budget for the month anyway, a little more powder won't be noticed... I'm still thrilled about the OF1910, hope it shows up in AR soon. 500+ miles is a bit far to travel for a bottle though. Has it hit TN? Didn't have time for any side trips to check on the way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 While on a trip to Massachusetts to see the OPG and my saintly mother, I found a bottle of Old Ezra 7 101 proof in Indiana and a bottle of Lot 40 Rye Small Batch in Massachusetts. It's always good to bring back a souvenir or two from a vacation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Co-workers and I were thinking about organizing a Friday after-work tasting with a small charity component in the spirit of xmas. One thing led to another and we ended up with something unusual, a Wild Turkey vertical! Bought WT101, RB, two different RRSB picks, WTKS, and one great guy is contributing Decades and Revival Oloroso from his collection. I take all credit for steering folks away from doing an all Islay Scotch tasting and later convincing heathens that WT is worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In MA there is indeed more Lot 40 than there are potholes on I-93. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backdoctor Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Read a lot about this, stopped by local shop and saw it was new. It was $5 less than local Total Wine. On a better note went to another local shop ( trying to make nice all over the area) where he said he was getting Michter’s 10 in and selling at msrp. He is getting in two and my name is the first on the list! I think I’m more likely to get any allocated stuff at a local shop vs big store here in FL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledInBond Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I bought the Old Fitz 9 year and a CYPB. I’m excited to try the Fitz as I’ve heard good things about the 9, and I had thought the 11 was better than some of the reviews I had seen. Not quite as optimistic with the CYPB as I haven’t heard anything that great about it, but it was reasonably priced so figured it was worth trying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Picked up another bottle of Eagle Rare after work. It is getting pretty hard to find in this area now, and I am glad to have a source that helps look out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the tiny sip of cypb I had. I thought it smelled amazing. If I found one at retail, I would enjoy drinking it. At $300-400 , I just laugh and move on with my life.

Would defo pick it up if I found it at at reasonable price. Agree about the smell, aged Weller in general I think is one of the best smelling bourbons.
