The mashbill is intriguing... fairly high rye, and fairly high malted barley as well. Should be interesting (I hope). I’ll post my thoughts later... just poured my first. Update: Wow. Different. The initial nose is an artificial sweetness like a mix of grape jelly and vinyl. The taste is exactly like the nose. Grape jelly sweetness with a slightly spicy finish. I can’t decide if I like it a lot or not at all lol. Ok.... I like it. Paid $20.99 Edited March 1, 2019 by Curtis Reed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar2233 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 And...grabbed another WSR at the low price. That’s 5 in reserve now. For some reason I don’t feel like it’s enough. I’ll keep buying at You can always share with me! Never seen in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked them in August of last year. I don't think the shutdown had anything to do with it. Heaven Hill was just being super slow. I tend to agree with you, but think that the gov shutdown is a grand excuse to get them off of their back. This was the LS's 2nd year with a barrel of EC. Since I get torked about things like this pretty easily, I discussed them possibly picking up a KC120 next year instead... 20 hours ago, Obeezy1Kaneezy said: Dadgummit I was just there last week! I must have missed them by a few days. I need another EC pick like I need another hole in my head, but 12 years for $32 is a no brainer in these times. Would love to know what you think about this pick. They had actually given up hope of getting this barrel in until about 2 weeks ago. It is worth the $32 even as a mixer. It is definitely better than the BT barrel another LS received this past holiday season. Not very complex but something that I would sip while firing up the grill. The nose started out very sweet & caramel like and then moved very much to the ethanol smell in about five minutes. 10 minutes later it was back to a pleasant caramel/butterscotch/pecan loveliness. Last night gave me a slight sweet at the tip of the tongue & heavy oak on the finish. 2nites pour opened up with quite a bit more sweetness on the front end, lasting a bit longer with a fairly heavy oak finish, but not too much so. As I said, not very complex. Compared to their 11 year pick of last year, more sweetness, more oak and less bite... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soberiquet Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 3 WT101 handles @ 22.49 a piece. No reason not to stock up at that price. Funny enough, they were sitting next to 750s at the exact same price. I might get some more if they restock, I left 2 on the shelf. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but this was at a large regional grocery chain. The sale tag said the price was good until 4/02/19. I really expected it to ring up at a higher price.

lcpfratn Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Picked up a couple of large dusties while traveling today for $32.99 each. I don’t need them, since I have several already, but you never know when friends might want some, and now I can help them out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Did you find these in the Memphis area? No, I found them in Columbus, GA. I saw them about a year ago when I was here, but passed on them because I wasn’t in the mood to catch grief from the wife since we were traveling together. Anyway, we were back again this year, and I checked to see if they were still on the shelf, and these two were still there, so I picked them up this time...of course I still got the snide comments from the wife, but I’ll survive.

That is crazy! they sat there a year and nobody got them. I noticed these are the 6 year stated. Great Find! I only have found one 6 year 750.

Great Find! I only have found one 6 year 750. If these weren’t the 6 year age stated, I wouldn’t have bought them. There were actually more than two, the first time I saw them, so they didn’t all last a year without getting noticed. They can be found, but the Memphis area never really had much FC on the shelves, so you’re probably not going to find any there. Older stores in smaller towns are probably your best bet to find dusties of any kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Only bought one bottle in Feb, trying to curtail purchases for the most part this year, but picked up a few staples yesterday: BT store pick, 1792 SmB, and FRSmB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFan Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I picked up a couple of bottles of Ezra Brooks Bourbon Cream. The ABC has it on clearance/closeout for $7.59 a bottle which is almost half off the regular price. I left one bottle on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also did some stocking up with the Binny's coupon, with some similar overlap in the Turkeys, plus some WT rye - both 101 and 81. I actually showed pretty good restraint today. Had thought about picking up a second WT Revival but ended up passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the label where the red 12 had been removed from the front and the 12 only listed on the back. That didn’t happen until like 2016 I think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
