The OBSO was a collaboration of one of my favorite liquor stores and Lincoln Road with the store pick king. I had Al make it to my wife! Can’t wait to try. ETL retail $37.99. One of these may be going in the what are you drinking tonight’s thread. Solid haul. Decades flies under the radar but is a great pour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal00768 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I’ve been restocking the bunker in preparation for the NE winter months. Two Turkey picks, a 12 year EC pick, and some smoky Ardbeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearmoon247 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Got a bottle of Stagg Jr (Batch 12) and James E Pepper 1776 Barrel Proof at MSRP at a small, hole in the wall shop today. They also had EHT Small Batch for $44. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvin0791 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We made a trip up to Madison, WI this evening to one of the malls there. I got to stop next door at Total Wine and made a purchase. @fishnbowljoe, check out the middle bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I went to a Binny’s in the Chicago burbs a number of weeks ago. They had a Three Floyd’s beer my son was looking for. He got three six packs of Three Floyd’s, and I grabbed a Weller SR for myself. I also grabbed a WT Rye for Galvin0791. I thought it was a 101 proof, but it turns out it was only an 81 proof. Yeah, I wasn’t paying attention. It wasn’t until I was delivering the bottle that I noticed my f**k up. I ended up just giving Mike the bottle of the 81 proof, (even though he protested) and we had a good laugh about it then, and a few times since. Hey, what are family and friends for? Biba!

It's very spotty in the Chicago burbs. Out of 41 Binny's locations, they have it "In Stock" at only 13 stores (half of those located in Chicago proper). It's also $44.99. At Total Wine across the Wisconsin border...it's 32.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Was happy to find a bottle for $55 in an out of the way little shop. Normally goes for $10 or $20 more around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Went searching for a CEHT Barrel Proof as a gift for the couple looking after our kids late next week... found that and more. The fact that these bottles all basically look the same is a benefit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Had seen a post on a local Bourbon Facebook Group that one of our local Kroger Wine & Spirits had some EC BP. That was a few days ago and I figured it was probably gone but decided to stop anyway. Of course it was gone but the manager said she thought she might have a Four Roses that a customer had decided not to get. This is what she pulled out from under the counter. I usually try to have a few "nicer" bottles to open on Christmas Eve when we have our big dinner. Looks like the line up for that night will be PVW 15, Old Fitzgerald BIB 13 y.o. and the 4R LE shown above.
