Have never seen VOB here in CA but it popped up on K&L's web site so I ordered a bottle. Seems to be a crowd favorite here so I'm looking forward to trying it. It was only $14.99 so not a big risk... Zero risk, all reward. VOB 100, a well established bourbon of verifiable provenance for well under 20 bucks with a really great flavor profile. With shelves bursting from the overload of “ craft” that is too often everything VOB 100 isn’t , I’ll wager you will be very pleased. I am still unhappy with Saz. for dropping the BIB designation but I cant deny its quality and value, forget value, its just damn good. Looking forward to your impressions, cheers!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I snagged a HMK 10 and a Weller 12 yesterday. The W12 was a liter @ $55/bottle. That's getting a bit steep for W12 for me. But I need it to mix up some Poor Man's Pappy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soberiquet Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Four Roses Small Batch Select. Went into Costco for some groceries (alas, no TP), and they had it priced low enough ($42.99) I couldn't say no to my curiosity. I am getting a ton of sweet cinnamon from the small glass I poured, and quite like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTStagg Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 The lady at the local grocery liquor store held the Blanton's for me at local MSRP($59). I refuse to pay the $80-100 most stores price it at around here. I like it enough, but mostly keep a bottle around to pour for friends. The SFTB or Gold is another story.

GTStagg Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Florida ABC(a privately owned chain store, not to be confused with state run ABCs from other states) rewards program paid off for me this morning. I received an email invitation to access the virtual "vault" and purchase one item. I scored a William Larue Weller for $119! Happy day, now I have to wait for it to ship to my local store, which will be an even happier day. I have never tried WLW, let alone had the opportunity to purchase one at MSRP. I also found a 4RSB select on a shelf yesterday, first time it has showed up in FL, so I couldn't pass. Looking forward to cracking it tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 In MI the state minimum price for FRSmBS is $59.99. If I ever see one in the wild at that price, I think I'll give it a go. At $42.99 it's an absolute go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose3218 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 While out picking up some coffee creamer I stumbled on two bottles of Hancocks. I am super excited about my first Magnus which was gifted to me by one of my buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the couple cases of 1L bottles of OGD BIB I got for slightly less than $15/bottle OTD was a heckuva deal. WT101 handles for less than $22 all-in are an even better deal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple months ago I polished off a 10.5 year OESF that was all pecan pie filling on the palate. It was best about a week or two after the initial pour. I recall being underwhelmed by that first pour, but blown away when I revisited it a week later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this recipe before from a sample, at least 2 years ago, really enjoyed it, that was my first time dealing with recipe's. Four Roses Single Barrel Limited Edition 2014 (11 Yr. Old) OESF (108.4 Proof). Hoping this will be pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
