I am also interested in this info.

 

It's gone, like a fart in the wind.  A buddy picked one up for me last week and I was finally able to grab it from him.  He bought the 3 bottles they had.

Today I picked up a couple: MMCS, WT 101, OF Rye, and BT.

I just opened the MMCS and am quite pleased.

I have not had regular BT in a long time.  I'll get around to that.

You know I had to get multiple bottles to get the discount. ?

This showed up at a local grocery store.

Not sure why or how.  Nor do I care.

$40 OTD.

Those were here too.  I think the distributor helped out the purchaser and redistributed it.  Also had one from a Thai resturant.  There was a period where Beam pushed the KC picks to anyone that would take one, and it bit a few businesses in the ass.  I'm still buying at that price, but the picks are newer releases.  Some still in the 14 yr range, some 11 or 12 yr.

Added another bottle of ETBiB for the time capsule and picked up OGD114....

 

The 114 wins best bourbon in the ugliest bottle category.

A couple of Beam products today.  Been wanting to try a few more finished products and the Legent sounds interesting.  I feel like I am going out on a limb with the Old Tub.  I hated the Beam bonded but thought I would give this one a try.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for each.

Let us know your reactions to these, TF.    I've yet to taste the OT; but bought a bottle of Legent last year in KY.

I had picked up a WTMK 17 BIB yesterday. So today I had to go the value route, and grabbed a couple handles of EWBIB

I am quickly going through a bottle of ancient age, so I got a backup 1.75L of it. It's my freezer bottle during the summer heat.

I was nursing this but got an email from Third Base saying it was back in stock so I ordered a couple of bottles and one $16 bottle of Larceny to spread out the shipping cost.  For a craft rye, this does not smell or taste "craft".  Just damn good.  Even my wife loves it and she's not a whiskey drinker.  And, at $30, it's priced reasonably, too.

Is it made by them or distilled in IN?

I picked up a Legent today, because nothing else really caught my fancy.  My first bottle I purchased when it was first released didn’t do much for me.  But, I’m all about second chances, so here I am...

Do you have any experience with their (Third Base) barrel/batch picks?  Some interesting stuff on their site.  What about Ledger's in Berkeley, any experience with their store picks?

How does RB rye compare to Cornerstone and 101 rye ?

Catching up.  I'll post some more notes in the empty bottle thread, but similar to RB it's definitely an amped up version of the 101 Rye.

Not sure if this counts, but I got a 1982-1987 Jack Daniels (45% abv bottling).
