Of course I stopped and looked, but I had no intention of buying anything. But y'all know what they say about good intentions? Anyway, I ran across a deal too good to pass up. Handles of Four Roses (Yellow) for the unheard of price of $19.61. No, that's not a typo. So yeah I did. Three came home with me. The bourbon gods have to be smiling down on me. Right??? Biba! Joe Well if 4R is on the menu that's the way to go. If I found a deal like that I'd have to call Coole to clean those shelves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Seeing a pile of Four Roses on your bar is not an every day occurrence! $20 handles ain’t a daily occurrence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We've got a long weekend so we're knocking around the South Jersey shore, which is serene this time of year with nary a soul in sight. The dog can run free too. I stopped in a cool store in Avalon and picked up a Wyoming Whisky Double Cask. This is five-year old Wyoming wheated bourbon, which is good stuff, finished in sherry casks. @Whiskeyblender - are you responsible for this? It's delicious! I'm thinking immediately of the Joseph Magnin and wish I could do a comparo but that bottle discharged its service honorably several weeks ago. This dram really shows its brilliance and balance with a long Kentucky chew, where the bourbon cuts through the velvet of the sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even found a bottle of this year's release in the low $50s. But, I am with @smokinjoe, it tasted like Coke Zero to me. Almost like an oversweet diet cola. However, it blends well with the 1920. I recall enjoying it as a blend last year. However, the first batch seemed more enjoyable on its own. Similar to you, I see no need to replace the bottle. I am actually sharing the remaining few pours in the bottle along with the remaining few pours in a bottle of 1920 with a co-worker who hasn't tried either. I will give him a decent enough sample of each so he can try a nice pour of each neat and then as a blend. I had a bottle of the 1910, and thought it was way better than the Woodford Reserve Double Oak, but doubt I'll buy another bottle. The double oak gimmick still hasn't proven itself to me, unlike bourbon finished in wine casks, which I quite enjoy. Now whenever I see a bottle of Statesman . . .

jnewberg Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Grabbed a WB Saffell for myself and one to ship to a “friend” who cannot find it where they live. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Day trip over to neighboring Missouri to visit the new Aquarium that opened in St. Louis. Made a couple stops and picked up a few goodies. Some because it isn’t available much here at home and some because bottles were as much as $8-15 cheaper there. Haven’t tried the SAOS since they went back to MGP but this has has Sarah’s name on it, says distilled in Indiana, and the price was right to give it a whirl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny that us Missouri side folks head over to the Illinois side to find stuff all the time and complain about what we have here in STL.

Postal Grunt Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 My favorite Wine and Spirits department received a new KCSiB recently so I fired up the Visa for a purchase. Since I just opened up a bottle of their previous KCSiB pick, I'm thinking that it's SBS time this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterHorses Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 A local store had some Yellow Label FR. They were 2017 and yellow.. not tan. I got a little nostalgic(sp) and picked one up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Haven't had Larceny in a few years, but when I saw it was on sale for $25 and a Single Barrel Select, I couldn't pass it up. They had two barrels to choose from, mine is 6Yrs. 10mos. and came out of the Barrel at 58.5% ABV before being proofed down to 92. From Warehouse E-2. (The other barrel was 5 months younger and was 59.6% before proofing) I also picked up a bottle of the new Jameson Cold Brew Infused to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal price at TW is $21.99 here and that's not enough incentive for me to pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t think so because it’s finished in a 16 yr bourbon barrel rather than another new charred/toasted barrel like 1910 or JDHB. We’ll see.

Richnimrod Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I finally was able to secure a bottle of Larceny BP (my first ever), as well as finally seeing and buying a bottle of the last ECBP batch fro last year (C-19, also first ever). I shall open each up in due course and see if they were worth the wait.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 A buddy was looking for some CEHT. Told them there probably wasn't any around but I would go look. There wasn't but . . . I found the ET BIB mis-priced at $19.99 so even though I didn't "NEED" a bottle I grabbed one anyway. The KC SiB was a PS that I did the pick on so I grabbed a bottle. I actually got to name the bottle. If you remember the group the Zombies, they had a song called "Tell Her No". This bottle is called "Tell Her Noe". The other picture is of the actual barrel. I wrote the name on it when we did the pick but John O didn't want the name out there until it was in the store. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
