Delighted with both purchases, but I will admit that the SAOS Sarah bottle was the cherry! I'm still able to find the 7yr bourbon, will stock up before it's gone for good, only €39/bottle. Great find. Will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I got drunk & bought one of those HW Double Rye’s off of the secondary market a few months back. It was finished in a Cognac cask hahaha. Not sure what I was thinking. Don’t drink and BSM boys & girls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFH Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I need to drive down and grab one of their single barrel cask strength bottles some time. They're not too far so should be soon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I had a chance to sample the contents (completely sober) before being separated from my hard earned income! I have had two finished versions of the HW Double Rye (one finished in a Bourbon Barrel and this one from a Barreled Manhattan) and enjoyed both. Given that these limited releases are all single barrel expressions YMMV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Managed to get a bottle of Four Roses SBPS OESF today along with a state pick of KCSB. I'm hoping I will find more bottles to add to the collection this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap high west’s have made decent manhattans or old fashions, If that’s any consolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam777 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Had the 1792 BIB in the pass thread but powderkeg gave me a guilt trip. I had my local LS save it for me and it was still there a couple weeks later. I said what the hell. Then in the BIB mood I thought I’d try OF BIB since I’ve never had it before. Oh and then they said they had some ECBP in the back for me for $49.99. Couldn’t pass it up since I’m in love with the A119. The look my wife gave me when I got home... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it’s not that I don’t think it will be good, it’s just that I have no idea why (other than my inebriated state) I bought it. It just isn’t something that would really interest me or be anything that I would normally buy. I think when I was looking at the listing I might have thought it was a distillery only release. This is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. Anyway, it makes for a good story for you guys lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not too far so should be soon. I got two bottles of a couple weeks ago after a buddy gave me a sample, almost finished the bottle. I really like it, it tastes older than the 12 year age statement (if I had to guess I would say closer to 15). I'm sure the cask strength releases are good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 This weekend’s line up.. At bat EC SmB (this one is growing on me very quickly). On deck for Fri/Sat. night is the Michter’s SmB (Batch# 19A81) if that makes a difference.. I’ve heard some really mixed reviews, so feel free to chime in. At the door, OGD for a Ginger Ale companion while hitting the yard duty... again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Pulled the trigger in the Legent. Cheap enough to be worth the shot. The MB Roland came recommended, NAS as far as I can tell so probably young. OF Rye impressed enough to be the lead in my next BA cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly when if I see a Straight NAS Craft bourbon I'm mildly more optimistic than I am with an age statement since they are usually something like "over 2 years" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Picked up some WT101. One liter size plus a few of the round pint bottles that I found at a good price. It's warming up outside and will be vacation season pretty soon. I like those little round shaped WT101 375's the best for traveling. The small round bottles are easy to pack and I believe they are stronger and more break-resistant than the flat flask shaped pint bottles. Plus when I'm traveling I prefer the smaller size because I can open one at at a time and discard them as I go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Picked up two bottles of Henry McKenna BiB today for $29.99 each. Figured it might be my last chance. They had four but I left two behind to earn some bourbon karma. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Since the case of OF Rye, I had not been in a LS. Popped into one in Eugene OR and found JTS Brown BIB and ECBP A119 eight deep at msrp (control state). Tater stores in CT want $90 bucks for ECBP and I refuse. I had planned on an extra checked bag for some local Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, but managed to bring home a couple new bottles of whisky last week as well. Did I mention the herd of scotch I found in Joisey a few weeks ago? Headed back to the scene soon. My wallet ain't ready. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Quinones Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I heard about this one. Pretty cool idea. I’m hoping to find one to give it a try? What is the price of this one if you don’t mind me asking?It was 35 otd, nice aroma and flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 went out at lunch today and found a nice sale on WT101 1.75L for $25.99. To make it better there was a $5 rebate tag around the neck of the bottles, so only $20.99 once I get the rebates back. Checked the bottle codes and grabbed two that were bottled in November. Since I was happy about the find I didn't feel so bad buying a bottle of ECBP A119 for $69.99. I figured that the walking out of the store with 2 handles of WT101 and a ECBP for $130($120 once I get the rebate back) was decent day. I almost feel guilty about not buying a case of the WT101. After work I am going to check the rebate tag and see if it states a limit on how many rebates you can submit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFH Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Got these via mail order since they're not likely to be found around me. One store in N. KY that had some EHT SmB on the shelf wanted $80 and I never see Sazerac around. The greater Cincinnati market is impossible to find anything hanging out or not priced at secondary in KY (since OH is a control state). My local that takes care of me has been getting Weller, ER and BT but none of these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
