CardsandBourbon Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Just realized that no one had started a Spring 2019 topic, so . . . here you go. I'll lead it off with this: There were 3 bottles left. As badly as I wanted to get all three I decided that I would leave one for the next guy or gal to come through the door.

CardsandBourbon Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I hope so. I've been looking for a bottle of the Ezra Brooks, 7 year, Barrel Strength. No luck yet, but I'm still hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I went by one of my favorite LS. They had done some spring cleaning and found two bottles they thought I might be interested in. $34.99 I guess I’ll take them..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck yet, but I'm still hoping. Nice finds today, I am not sure I could have left that last one on the shelf! OE7BP is readily available by me (think $36 or $37). PM me if you would like to discuss further I would be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER is almost a unicorn in Missouri. When it does show up it disappears the same day. Many stores are charging gouger pricing of $50+ for 750s and it's almost always 1 per. One store has it for $70, but only if you buy $100 in other merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just there on friday and they were currently out however. I can also get it for $34.95 at a hole in the wall place up near my farm in northern MO when I go there.

afinchmustang Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Picked up some MMCS and Jim Beam Repeal Batch at fairly good prices. Overpaid a bit for CEHT SmB, but excited to try it as well. Edited April 3, 2019 by afinchmustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER10 has been pretty hard to find and extremely limited in St. Louis for at least the last 4 or 5 years. It can be found but it is not in every store and usually carries a markup. Sorry..don't mean to beat a dead horse. We have other things easier and lower priced but certain items (like ER, CEHT, Stagg Jr., Blanton's, etc.) are getting crazy around here. I don't know if I've EVER seen an ECBP in St. Louis either. But, regular Buffalo Trace is usually piled 20 deep while in other markets it is allocated. A month or so it disappeared for a short time but seems to be back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I noticed the Penguins logo. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, right on the South Side. MM cask strength carries the same profile as regular Makers Mark, but everything about it is raised to a more intense level. It is lower than some barrel proofs ( the one I’m drinking is 110 proof) so it is not overwhelming and works great neat. Lots of caramel and cinnamon both on the nose and palate, with waves of vanilla working in. The finish is where this dram shines. A nice toffee finish stays with you long after the swallow. Very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
