Total haul from trip through Memphis and Nashville on the way up to Kentucky. Lots of great stuff. Sole for the bunker. Some to drink once I purge some near empties to make some shelf space.

Wow what a score. It would take me like two months to go through that.

Well it'll likely take me a couple years haha. But quite a few of those will end up as gifts so that'll knock a few out.

Found this hidden behind a few things for $32.70 out the door.

Bit of a misprice on these I think... under £45 each. Normally double that in the UK...

I don't get that at all from any Willett rye. I might have to have a pour tonight to check. I get it in pretty much anything distilled by Dickel though. Even if it's blended with other stuff I still taste it.

Nobody has agreed with me yet. So maybe it was just the release that I had (4 years at 107 proof)

That's a seriously impressive haul. Many of my favorites in there, color me envious!

Is that considered an "insta bunker" ??

Well probably doubles my bunker. I've exhausted the readily available stuff in OKC so it was time to branch out. The ER and EHT are my go to gifts (as well as McK10) and they are $80 here now IF you can find them, so I bought a few as people love receiving them. Bet I only drink 1 of each of those in table. The 4R PS and WP PS are long time wants of mine and I stocked up as they don't come to OK and it'll be 2 years before I'm back in Kentucky or Tennessee most likely. 

 

ETA: Willett Rye is probably my favorite of l whiskeys right now so I also decided to stock up since no Willett products come to OK.

I had a bottle of that same batch and didn't pick up any vitamin note.  But perhaps your palate is more sensitive to that than mine.  Or maybe you had an off bottle.  I experienced that with two bottles of Henry McKenna BiB from the exact same barrel.  One bottle had an unpleasant medicinal note in the finish which was not present in the other.  I even did a side by side to verify. 

 

My notes for the flavors on the 107 rye were sweet, spicy, fruity, mint and heat.  Butter, oak, corn, rye spice and juniper on the nose.   Overall, I liked it a lot but it paled in comparison to the 126 proof batch which was amazing.  I can't wait until the 5 yr. rye becomes available here. 

 

Cheers!

Do you know if they plan to make the regular release a 5 year? Or do they plan to keep the regular at 4 and keep releasing singles at 5-6 years? Just curious as it seems the 4 year has been the standard for a couple years now.

I don't know. I just assumed that since they started with a two year, then a three year, then a four year, that the pattern would continue.  At least I hope it does...

I agree. Seems logical. Just wasn't sure if anyone had confirmed this. My tour guide last week at Willett wasn't sure what the plan was regarding this.

Nice score. Only one store in NW Ohio received a shipment and it was sold out at 9:03AM. I believe that’s last years EHTBP and it was a good one at that. I bought one at my local LS across the line in MI.

Glad to hear you were able to pick one up!

Found a dusty 2014 RRSB yesterday. 

And an opened 1.75 of WT 101 as well!

I would have but this was the only one on the shelf. And the price wasn't listed anywhere. I have no idea how it got there. It seems as if someone was trying to hide it. I saw a few more bottles behind the register being saved for someone.

I purchased 2 bottle of Elijah Craig Store Pick Single Barrels today. I should be getting another bottle of Heaven Hill juice tomorrow in some Old Fitz BIB 13yr. I'll report back if I'm lucky enough to score one.

Where are you located. I haven’t heard of any deliveries of OFBIB yet.
