BoilerinIL Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Today I bought a store pick Eagle Rare, a handle of WT101, and a store pick Barrell Whiskey finished in German Ice Wine casks. The WT101 was the first one opened. The Barrell seems like it will be a good dessert tonight after some bone-in Ribeyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 made my first bourbon purchases since March. Not pictured, but I also picked up a store pick Jack Daniels single barrel. I got to sample it first and it was quite tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 14 hours ago, BoilerinIL said: I prefer the New Riff SiB to the BIB and I prefer the Rye to the Bourbon. I liked the BIB Rye but the SiB's I've had are even better. I've had two SiB's from the distillery gift shop and I love that they are both good but, also, unique. Of course SiB's vary from barrel to barrel but if I tried these side by side I wouldn't have guessed they were the "same" product. I have a 3rd SiB Rye that I picked up at the distillery that I will be opening soon and looking forward to the comparison. Thanks Boiler. I'll be on the lookout for their Single Barrel Rye then! Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Went out looking for WTMK BiB. Struck out. But I picked up another BiB, at a much lower price: ETBiB. 1st time it has been available in my area. Will open soon. Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosmith Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Picked up an Eagle Rare this morning at my local Safeway for $26.99 after 10% mixed half case discount. Blanton's two weeks ago and now this? Safeway is becoming my honey hole lol. And no, it's not a store pick. They've recently started putting a sticker on spirits saying that the bottle is intended for sale at Safeway store #967 and giving an 800 number to call if you see it for sale anywhere else. I guess they must have had some theft issues? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even seen Buffalo Trace for $20 and 4Roses Single Barrel for $33. (All these prices are after the 10% mixed half case discount) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintiago Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 My first bottle. Exceeded expectations. Lots of chatter that this not that great but I am loving it. I’m in East Tennessee right now and I was a little shocked at paying $39 for this (from Total Wine in Knoxville). Shouldn’t it be cheaper here?

Once I drink down a few of these single barrels that is! Curiosity might even get the best of me first too, Lol Late to this note. I am now on my second KC 12 YR, and I am a big fan of the 9YR. Both of the 12 yrs were smoother than my 9s. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recall seeing it here yet, but to be honest I haven't been looking for it. I'm going to make it a goal of mine to seek it out over the next week or so.

Phil T Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Bought a bottle of yellow label, my first in a long time. It's chilin in the freezer, should be good to go in about an hour. It should pair up nicely with our first sweet corn of the season. Prost! Phil Edited July 16, 2020 by Phil T 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Picked up a Binny's Eagle Rare pick and had a nice conversation with the whiskey gal. On her recommendation, I also grabbed a bottle of Mellow Corn to try out of the freezer. She took a 4RYL off the shelf to try as my freezer rec. We will compare notes next time! Then was able to get a Smoke Wagon 8 year private barrel pick. This is 8 year MGP. Pricey at right around $100, but I have only heard good things so far from at least one palate I trust . Will be opening tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It finally warmed up here so my bottle of 4RYL is entering the freezer as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good price for KC12, it's $60 + tax out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
