The Binny's on Algonquin Road is only 45 miles from your house 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Picked up a few Blanton’s to have when friends and family members who have a hard time finding it want a bottle, and a spare bottle of the 2018 KC CS rye. The rye impressed me enough after tasting it last week to get the spare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of Blanton's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parksmart Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Almost walked past this at Costco, and only stopped when I saw the price tag. Thought Costco had raised their price be $6 to $26.99, then realized it was a 1L bottle rather than 750ml. Can’t remember when was the last time I saw BT 1L bottles on a Costco shelf (or really, most anywhere here in CA). RRSiB PS alongside to provide perspective on the 1L bottle.

PaulO Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 That 1L bottle was probably meant to go to a bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I just missed out on picking up a bottle of Blanton's at Costco earlier in the week. People were running out the store with it. But, they had Eagle Rare and 1.75L of Buffalo Trace. My guess is they only put out a case of each. From some of the photos above, it appears there as been a release. I will continue the hunt for a Blanton's since it seems to be out there. But, my expectations are low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprised to see both. Since it’s been over two months since I’ve purchased anything, I caved. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe I've been getting hooked on ps EC lately. No matter where my tastes wonder I will come back and finish the evening with the EC pick. It never fails to hit all the right notes. He offered me a 6pk price @ $27 per and I'm glad I bunkered up. Only a bargain because it's SOOOO good! Thread specific I picked up a W12 and an Elk Rye. He's choking on the Elk so I pitched in since I did the pick. The juice is good-the price is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the 15D17 it was particularly great. To the lesser extent they have a 15D1720B out right now that is close. I'm sure everything they put out is amazing. How does that bottle taste? I went into some detail on mine in tastings. I'd love to hear about your bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’ve been pretty good the last few months about keeping my buying in check, but this week went awry. The NRSB was actually given to me by a friend for helping him out. He has an open of the same barrel and we both really like it. Really excited to get drawn in a local lottery for the Weller pick. The BT is one of those liter bottles that probably should have been destined for a restaurant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bottle that is about the hottest whiskey I’ve had in some time (15L21). Some nice flavors, but the heat on it is almost unbearable. Truly fire water. Surprising to me as it is a pretty low proof BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kypix Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 OK, the Brough Bros. was purchased as a gag gift. I mean really! Aged at least 6 months & distilled in Indiana. Screams "quality" doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suggest trying that at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
