Got a pleasant call from a LS at lunch - 1792BIB has arrived in Little Rock and they had two bottles set aside for me!
 
Stopped to pick them up and took this purdy shelf pic while they retrieved them.  My gut says you just won't see this back in the Holy Lands of KY, but 1792 flows rather freely down here!  My bottles didn't include remodeling dust, but I'm not feeling cheated....

Not a Barton’s guy but want to give that high rye a twirl.

Got a couple goodies today. Can’t wait to try the whistlepig 10 store pic. It’s been on my mind for a while since a had a sample at a LS in Boston. Was the best rye I had ever had. I’m hoping to do some SBS with maybe MWND and EHT Rye.

Stopped by an LS on the SW side of the KC metro area and chose to visit with some EC NAS.  At $25/750ml, I knew I could fit it somewhere.

Picked up a 13 year old SAOS SiB on the way home from work today. I hadn’t seen one of these in a couple years so it was a nice surprise.  A little pricier @69.99 than last time I grabbed one, but can’t complain too much.

Picked up another blade and bow, an old Ezra, Rowans Creek, and a WSR. 

Good to know when delivery day is.....

I would think you will see it soon, in the last month its everywhere in the Midwest.  Have acquired over a case in the last month @ $27.  Saw it today in mass...actually passed on it.  Also found a Blanton's in the wild just sitting there @ $52.99, right next to a W107.  I overpaid on it at $50....but I could not resist.  I have just never seen a OWA just sitting there in a long long time.

I bought my 2nd bottle of EWBIB today at $16.99 which is a great value here, picked up also this OF 1897BIB at $49.99.. I still have interest in the OF1920 Prohibition, but passed at low $60’s... Popping the EWBIB tonight, weekend is coming for the other. :)

You didn’t overpay for the OWA...$50 is the new MSRP for it in most states.

I hope you're right.  I'd buy WSR at $27.  Unfortunately, $50 is now msrp for OWA and I'm not a buyer at that price.  Unless, of course, if they change over to a cork stopper... :lol:

At my place they rarely put them on the shelf. I built a good relationship and they’ll get one in the back for me as long as I show up delivery day or the day after. Since they do so much business they typically get a case a week. So hard to turn down when I go in there. $29.99!

Yum!

Yum indeed, cracked a 9yr at 94 proof yesterday evening, being a high proof whore, i was skeptical about it, well, i'm not anymore, really good, complex, oily, with literally no burn at all. I still prefer those around 120 proof though ;-)) Cheers! 

 

Will.

I would leave it on the shelf, certainly wouldn't pay over retail.

FYI these 13 years are Dickel sourced rather than MGP.

That’s definitely a big difference in taste profile.
