flahute Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I passed on WT101 but not by choice. I can't find it. I don't want to start a "what can't you find due to quarantine hoarding?" thread so this is the next closest thread for this. 2 out of the last 3 times I went looking for WT101 it was sold out. I've read that quarantine hoarding has been skewed towards more dependable and affordable staples in the liquor aisle so that could explain it. Or, it's the apocalypse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is exactly why you always have several handles available before you get to the bunker. There's just some brands you simply can't do without, and for my little buds the WT sits on top.

mbroo5880i Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Did a little scouting today in anticipation of purchasing a few bottles this weekend. I noticed a local store has RY10. The price is reasonable. Obviously, there is variability in single barrel offerings. However, I am curious how consistent the profile is barrel-to-barrel.

From my experience with three bottles, its profile is consistent. I believe they were all from the same year, however. Others have reported off bottles, but my experience has been very good with all of them. One of my favorite accessible bourbons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for a few mid shelfers and some standard stuff. My store had no mid shelfers of interest and many of the standard offerings were not available either. I spoke with the liquor manager who said he had 35 people waiting in line when he got to work this morning at 7 a.m. I have another store nearby that is less frequented that I will try tomorrow.

Some stores that typically have large inventories have no Knob Creek or Old Forester. It's odd. Plenty of WR and EC. Fortunately, I can always fall back on WT101 which is plentiful right now. I was speaking with a liquor manager who told me that they have had a dry spell on KC and OF. He told me he noticed the shelves at a few competitors were similarly low. Maybe it is the distributor or maybe Costco bought it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I saw the new KC 9 year in the wild for the first time, and passed. That's only because KCSB finally made a reappearance. So I went home with some KC after all, and at a deal price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Grunt Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I walked away from some OGD114 today. It's one of those buy it on a whim type of drink for me but when the price is $30 the whim diminishes quickly. The counter guy said that he was seeing a lot of the value bourbons going quickly because more folks are drinking at home and earlier in the day. That must be the home school teacher crowd.

OGD114 is still $25.99 OTD around here as of yesterday - maybe you need another trip back home soon, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richdel Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The more I look, the more I find when it comes to ECBP. Apparently, there is no ECBP A120 or B520 to be found in my area. However, I have found a couple of stores that have a few B519 and (more then a few) C919 at local msrp. I already have two of the C919, I may grab another since the first tasting was so good. Wondering if anyone here thought the B519 was stellar. Online reviews have been from meh to must buy. Also, CEHT Single Barrel and Single Barrel BiB at 84,99 otd. I have never tried any of the CEHT line, but have read mostly good things about CEHT SB, SiB, and Barrel Proof. Wasn't sure about pricing, so even though I was very intrigued, I walked away. But not without finding out that they hadn't sold one of the CEHT SiB since the beginning of February 2020. There were 3 of them there, so I felt like I could walk away and maybe come back at a later tie and not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewberg Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Trying to go light in June after I saw the damage I did in May... Have stuff coming via mail but that hopefully is it... I would think the only buys would be CEHT 18yr Marriage or WT 17yr BiB so i think its safe to safe i won't be buying anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I've passed on nearly everything since covid hit the fan. I bought just a single bottle in all of May, our new ECPS. The bunker isn't even dented yet. And I've been trying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
