BottledInBond Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Picked up a MWND, a Little Book 2, and 2x Four Roses limited. All on the shelf at MSRP, at a random store I had never been to before. Works for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Wife gave me a willett 4 y/o rye for my bday. She gets an A for effort. She overpaid a little but glad she didnt go for the $185 Lone Whisker or the Jeffersons PS they were pushing on her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest batch reminds me a lot of the improved EW BIB - nice. Agree. And you won't get a better bourbon for the money. You talking JTSBIB, right? I think they make a lower proof too.

Whiskeythink.com Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 picked up yet but another 14yr KCSB, an OE7 BP, & an ET BIB. thought ET BIB was KY only, but i guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderKeg Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Nothing earth shattering, but hard to resist $23 for a 750 + 2 rocks glasses for the boxed holiday MM. I prefer MMCS, but regular MM isn't on the meh list, and I recently finished off a bottle, so.... Also picked up my first bottle of OF Statesman - was ignoring this for a long time as I figured it was a movie tie-in gimmick with a short shelf life, however after having (and asking more ??? about its longevity) at the OF Distillery Tour tasting awhile back, I put it on the buy sometime list - looking forward to cracking it shortly...

It was only in a few states for about the first year and a half when it first came out. Now it’s all over they place (relatively speaking).

If you generally like the OF profile you are going to really like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on vacation in Western NY and have seen JW Dant BIB at a few places for a good price. I’ll likely pick one up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If you like HH bourbons, try any of the bonded versions. The 80 proof stuff, I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most bourbon folks in Texas would grab a $20 liter of JW Dant over a handle of WSR at Texas prices of $30 or so a bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTSBIB is cheap here. 11 or 12 bucks. It's fairly available but not everywhere. EWBIB runs 13 to 14 range. Mellow Corn about the same but less available.

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I’ve never seen a bottle of regular Old Fitzgerald let alone taste it. Somehow this is the first encounter I have with it. I really want to open it and try it but I think it will need to be special occasion. Maybe if Notre Dame beats USC this weekend and ends the season undefeated that will be my celebration drink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 With 122 bottles in the house I've been trying to be a little more selective. At Kroger W & S the manager kept telling me how good the 13.5 y.o. KC SiB PS was. I finally broke down and picked one up. If it's like any of the other PS KC bottles I've gotten. It will probably be stellar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfletchgu Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 A quick trip to the bourbon mecca yielded good results. Only one HHBIB is mine the others are for bourbon buddies at work. Also came across a little dusty FC 6 year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhopper Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) For the first time in four years, I found ECBP (batch B518) at near retail for $55 a bottle here in middle Georgia - virtually unheard of. Most places have it at $79 and above, and one place has it at $149! There were three on the shelf, so I bought two and left a third for another lucky bourbon lover. Wife said they are my "Christmas Present" and I'm content with that! Edited November 20, 2018 by starhopper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaAlphaVictorEasy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Lucked out and got a PS W107, 10YR WTKS, PS 1792FP, old label OE 7YR101, a funky PS RRSB and some older batched HWRR- all at the same store. Done buying for the year- unless, of course, something irresistible presents itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Grabbed a WTRB because I always take one to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. Also a Baby Saz just because I can never resist bunkering one when I see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
