Joe About yesterday’s acquisitions..... One Weller SR wasn’t actually a purchase. I bought a couple of bottles previously, one of which was for a coworker. He didn’t really care for it, so it came back home to papa. I just topped it off from the one I had open on my shelf. My friend really likes BT, so he now has a ps BT instead. Anyway, I stopped at one place to check and see if they had FRSB, which they did. They also had a few bottles of Weller SR behind the counter, so one of each came home with me. We stopped at another place to grab a few items. Lo and behold, the shelf in their liquor department had been restocked with liters of BT. Since I now had one less BT in my cabinet, I bought a liter to replace it. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. It’s the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help my barrel. Biba!

Bret Bret Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I usually have no more than 4 bourbons open at 1 time. So, I have 4 open now and picked these up. I don't think I can wait. I may need to break my own rule. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Picked up a couple of bottles of 1910 to replenish the bunker. Was getting low on my current bottle and that was causing great consternation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it. I'm not sure how to describe it because i'm kind of new to describing bourbons but I really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCubs85 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Was able to snag 3 bottles of ECBP B519 in the past couple of days. Figured I'd grab a few while they were available. Also snagged a 2nd bottle of Wathen's Edited October 31, 2019 by GoCubs85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGP barrels that we tasted through together and you guys chose when we did the Skype call back in mid-June? Cheers, Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoFingers Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Every now and then the Bourbonian gods smile down on us. I lucked out in my county's lottery. Probably open this over the holidays. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABVT Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Bought Little Book Chapter 3 as well as the Quarter Oak. The Little book is amazing and I really did not like the Quarter Oak. Tasted like peanut brittle, vanilla ice cream and fake oak flavoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Usually I have an almost deaf and polite husband's ear when Mrs PG talks about getting some pumpkin beer. It's definitely not my thing. She hasn't been able to find it locally as the stores are sold out for this year so she suggested that motor on down to Lukas Liquors in Overland Park, KS, one of the 800 lb gorillas in the LS business in this area. While she was heading for the beer coolers, I headed to the bourbon and rye aisle to see what I could see and I saw something that I wanted. First, I found KC in the 1.75L bottle for $48.99+tx, cheaper than Costco! I turned around to look for BT products and someone was stocking 1.75L WSR. He told me that he had some 1L bottles to put up on the shelf so I asked for one of those. Just a few minutes later, as I was perusing the craft beers, the salesman brought me the 1L bottle, only $20.99+tx, not bad at all. The salesman then proceeded to show Mrs PG where the last few samples of pumpkin beer were stored so she was pleased. I took advantage of her good mood and scarfed up a six of Goose Island Sofie and another six of the newly arrived Boulevard Nutcracker, a 7.8% winter warmer. I've been known to enjoy Belgian style beers. After that, we went for some Italian food for dinner and a calorie laden and decadent chocolate dessert. The Visa card was already warmed up anyways so a little bit of planning will hopefully lead to cooperation the next time I want to walk through the mile of aisles down there. I wasn't devious, I was just following the Five Ps, "planning prevents p___ poor performance". Edited November 1, 2019 by Postal Grunt 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the 1319 open now (liking it way to much to make it last) and will probably open the 1376 at the tail end, just so I can do a SBS. Wasn't on the mid-June Skype, but would appreciate any insight you could provide on these two. As always, thanks for all you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneyMaaster Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Technically didn't purchase it TODAY, but recently purchased a bunch of bottles of OWA (before they raised the price) and today I traded one for a 1L of Makers Mark 101. Very excited to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSJon Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Haven’t gotten around to trying this one yet. Not a huge fan of regular Maker’s but I do enjoy the 46. So I thought in the name of fairness I should give this a shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yobber76 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I went in to a chain store today in SW Florida, they had EH Taylor Small Batch in and available 1 per customer till it's gone. They got me a bottle and at checkout I realized it was a higher price than advertised by $17 ($64.95). When the mgr checked it, we realized it was a single barrel, it didn't even show up on their inventory. Bought it, opened it, excellent! A lucky mistake, I haven't found this anywhere for msrp! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
