Whew, I was afraid you were almost going to run out of whiskey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Back out for another run. Every year I deliver delicious toffee in customized boxes to my liquor stores, covering every key employee-- probably the only ritual I have still intact during 2020. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 My streak of good luck continues. We had to run out today to pick up a Xmas present. Since Binny’s was right in the area, I stopped in for a quick look. They had my bottle!!!! Biba! Joe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeySnakes Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Somewhat impulse bought a bottle of 1792 small batch today, which I'll be opening and drinking tonight. I tend to overlook this one as I prefer other expressions in the lineup, and there are other bourbons in the ~$30 price range that I prefer, but my LS had it on sale, and it was in front of my face, and I remembered back to the last bottle I had of it that I did rather enjoy, so I grabbed it.

Sometimes a sale prompts us to reexplore something good that we have neglected. Bourbon enthusiasts, myself included, can sometimes be persuaded by the new bright shiny things when the things we appreciate are right in front of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to get set aside for the annual lotteries. With multi-hundred percent production increases and 11/12 months of mashbill #1, your future is bright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Picked up two bottles of Stagg Jr for my wife’s aunt who asked me about it over the weekend. She and her husband have not been able to find any, so I was able to acquire a batch 11 and a batch 14 for them yesterday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulsea Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Picked these guys up at the recommendation of a friend ... never tried them before myself. Love to know if anyone has a take on either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to know if anyone has a take on either of them. I've seen positive reviews of the Boxergrail. The Coppersea isn't straight, so it's likely less than 2 years old. Fair or not I'd definitely have very tempered expectations going into that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I haven’t really posted in a while because I was one of those people that accessed the forum exclusively through Tapatalk. Missed the forum though so here I am accessing it via the website now. I actually managed to grab a 2020 GTS! That’s my first BTAC bottle in 5 years I’ve landed I believe. Seemed worthy of my first post in months. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
