CardsandBourbon Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I haven't been buying much lately but my wife wanted to stop by Liquor Barn today and see if they had any of those frozen fruit/wine pouches. Not being one to disappoint the little lady I pulled right into the parking lot. Needed to pick up another bottle of the Evan Williams Peach. I don't drink it, we just cut up fruit (strawberries, peaches, bananas, blueberries, etc.) and then pour some of this over them and let it sit in the frig all day. We serve it over vanilla ice cream for dessert. Was just walking along the bourbon aisle and saw this sitting there with all the 94 proof EC's. Realizing it had to be fate that placed this bottle in front of me I quickly grabbed it and headed for the cash register. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see one bottle of bourbon and something that looks like a kid's fruit drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Some pick ups from a trip to Knoxville last weekend. The KCSBs are all 14 year, except for one at 15 year. Barrel is batch 023. I was hoping to find 024, but it's not out there yet. I also grabbed a couple of Spanish Brandies that I am looking to try. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you bothered to read my entire post, as opposed to drinking and just looking at the pictures you would have seen that the EW Peach is used for desserts.

Ha, duly noted! As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I must have been distracted by the dark brown liquid in the bright shiny bottle on the left and became confused by the dessert bourbon. On the other hand, the fresh fruit dessert sounds delicious.

Postal Grunt Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 For the first time in about two years, I bought a bottle of EWBiB. I wanted to see if my taste buds had improved and become discerning enough to find the merits I might have missed in the previous bottle. It's OK but more of a mixed drink kind of bottle rather than something I would drink neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehRegion219 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Re opening after all the nonsense from last week... the place was amazingly clean and put back together. Missed out on the ER, passed on a Bond & Lillard but ended up with the Weller barrel aged milk stout. Wifey is looking forward to trying this one also picked up a VOB100 at binnys down the road.

Not_That_Fancy Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I impulse bought this today traveling back from Fl through Mobile, Al. FWIW, I expect to pay secondary price once in awhile. $249 otd. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwshannon Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Found a bottle of Old Tub here in Iowa. I missed the news that it was going for release outside of the distillery. 21.99 plus tax. Before COVID, we had planned a trip to KY, and I wanted to pick up a bottle of this from the distillery. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool! I bought a couple of 375’s at the distillery on different occasions. Not too bad. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A care package I ordered for home delivery from a purveyor near me arrived. While it contained mostly wine, a Lillet blanc, a pedestrian vermouth blanc, and some more wine, I also picked up a KC 12 year old. Yum. Even at 100 proof, it is special. Because of it and the ECBPs, I’m going to have to re-evaluate my avoidance of “older stuff”. In other words, I could wash my mouth out with this daily I betcha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
