At $20 for a 750, I will have to compare that stuff to OF100 at $38 for a 1.75. The VOB is actually more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest bottles were $16.50+t. So puts it just over the $38/1.75. There are 1.75s of VOB100 apparently but I've never seen one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll suffer through. I've been drinking the white label BIB for a regular pour for a while and asked a local store if I could buy it in a 1.75 instead of the 750. They came back and told me that it was only available in a 750 or 1 litre. Then Friday I found a 1.75 of EWBIB. Liquor stores and the information that I get from many of them, even the owners or managers is not always very accurate. Trust but verify, is a good motto when doing business with new places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverc Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The new Lux Row Distiller's Collection releases of Ezra Brooks ($35) and Rebel Yell ($40) have been release at Virginia ABC recently. I picked up a bottle of each on Saturday and tried the Ezra Brooks that evening (barrel 7167104). It was really quite good and I went back to the store on Sunday to get a bottle of the other two single barrels available (7167114 and 7167096). These are not distributed to very many ABC stores in the state, but the stores that did get them got 60+ bottles, so it seems VABC "selected" several different barrels of each. I haven't tried the RY DC bottle yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchline Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Picked up another one of these: Now that the KC 12 and 15 are appearing more regularly, the value in these bottles is hard to resist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfoots Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I picked up a Four Roses small batch select today from my local and a regular Woodford Derby gift set with a copper cup from Safeway that was $2 less than a normal Woodford. Sadly both are hiding in the garage and away from the wife’s eyes since I made too many purchases on our trip out of town last weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyDrams Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Got a regular Knob Creek and Buffalo Trace today. Would love to get the 12 or 15 KC, but haven’t seen them around here yet. The regular 9yr (my first bottle since the age statement returned) should scratch that itch a bit while I wait. This might be considered blasphemy but I will be putting ~6oz of the BT into my infinity bottle straightaway. The infinity bottle is just under half full but has taken on an odd profile sometime recently after being relatively great for the last few months. I figure the BT being familiar to and enjoyed by my palate, but not too aggressive in any one flavor-direction, will be a nice way to kind of reset the profile a bit and then I’ll keep adding other things oz-by-oz as I open new bottles. I’ll sure enjoy the rest of the BT though too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy decision: 1L WT101 FTW! Just a brief update on this: my gracious host was initially skeptical when he saw what I'd brought for my choice of bourbon for the week. He's a scotch guy primarily, but when he visits me I always pour him a few drinks of whatever good bourbon I have open at the moment; nevertheless, he was under the misguided impressions that WT101 was swill tailored to those who want to get good and drunk rather than enjoying a quality spirit. After sharing a few pours with him over the week, that impression was quickly debunked, and he was positively thrilled when I left him the remaining ~40% of the bottle after I departed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me awhile to realize, that if my bunker disappeared tomorrow, I could still easily find stuff on the shelf to enjoy going forward. Those OE 7/101 are delicious. I get a toasted marshmallow flavor from them that I just cannot find elsewhere. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
