I’ll be in town Friday night and the only shop on my list currently is Carmel’s Vine & Table. Many thanks. @Nm0369 has pointed you in the right direction. The only caveat is what time you will be shopping. I believe V&T closes at 7 p.m. Besides V&T and Classic Spirits, 21st Amendment Liquors on 146 Street sometimes has some different and higher end stuff. There is also a Crown Liquors on Main Street in Carmel. I guess one question is what side of town will you be on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve identified two heavy bottles there that alone will more than suffice, so if I make it in time that’ll be my only stop. I’ll call them in advance to make sure they are truly in stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfoots Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Found a couple of the 2020 Angels Envy Cask Strength bottles at the $200 msrp. I bought Evan Williams BiB instead. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is self-described as I have told them that is who I am. I went back to a local liquor store yesterday to pick up another MM101 on sale at 15% off. I was thinking it was a two day sale this weekend and next. When it didn't ring up at the sale price, the young lady behind the counter told me that their sale was one day each weekend, Friday12/11 and Saturday 12/19. I told her "Thanks, I will see you next weekend." The people behind the counter laughed and said see you next weekend. Everything worked out as I stopped at Hobby Lobby to pick up 4 large picture frames for Christmas gifts and they were 50% off. The sale ended on 12/12 which was the day I stopped in. Cheap Bastard wins again. Which store has 15% off Saturday? I could put that to use on a bottle of scotch if the starting price isn’t sky high (looking at you Payless).

I keep getting more and more tempted by this, even though I need another new bourbon like I need a hole in my head. This usually indicates I will cave soon, usually within 30 days if history repeats... Passed on this for the third and fourth time today (visited 2 stores today). I may have gotten over the hump on this one. This may even be a sign of bourbon zen really taking root. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t there a third one? I also recall the Stepp Cemetery. Isn't that the one where you step up 100 steps or something and then you have to count the same number of steps on the way down? If not, a spirit will knock you down. I am not an expert on Indiana urban legends but I also recall stories about spirits, and weird things and noises in the Hanna House, the Murat Temple, and old Central State Hospital in Indianapolis.

PaulO Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'll see if I can find the title. Several years ago, I read a book that had collected the most famous stories. I've visited Stepp Cemetery several times in the past, but saw no ghosts. It was one of those things. Will you go, unless you are chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would hurt. ER10 is pretty much always available here in SF Bay Area for under $30. One of the few advantages (bourbon wise) that we have over the rest of the country. Weller has become unobtanium over the last few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
