Okay, this is Monday’s and Wednesday’s selections, but I didn’t realize until after I snapped the photo there is technically only one bourbon, and a few would argue not even that. 

 

  Potatoe, potato. It’s all good B.

 

Biba! Joe

Actually, I bought the Corvette because I was the head of security there for twenty years.  The wife and I had a lot of fun in it over the years including annual drives with clubs on the Tail of the Dragon in TN.  Also a few trips to Helen Ga for Octoberfest on our anniversary.

Fast forward to 2021 and knee replacements, it doesn’t get the road time it really deserves.  
Likely sell it some day but the bottle benefit is a factor to consider.

If you enjoyed the Tail of the Dragon in TN, you need to try the Back of the Dragon in VA. Runs from Tazewell to Marion, VA. Over 30 miles of fun.

On Friday made a trip a bit away from home and hit two places to get some bottles that I cannot get local.  

Was a bottom shelf kind of shopping spree - many I chose because of what is posted here

Of these - only the VOB and OF were ones I have had so grabbed them while I was there too.  Have had EW but not bonded (that I recall)

So working my way through these to see what I might find for new go-to bottles.

I do enjoy a glass even more when I know it is not overpriced and still tastes good to me

it’s really sad that I got excited by your picture.

I love that stuff (EHTSmB)!

I used to be able to get SmB Taylor almost any time I wanted it with a short drive, for msrp.

Now....  

and I’m not paying $100+ for it.

Still $34.95 OTD.  We get it in about once a month here abouts . . . . . . .

Some places around here have had the SmB priced at what the SB used to sell for. I’m not quite sure what the SB goes for now since I haven’t seen it on the shelves here in a long time. The prices used to be $39.99 for the SmB, and $69.99-$79.99 for the SB.

Its slowing up down here., seein fewer and fewer.Thats why i grabbed a couple. Passed on a couple more that were too much. These were about as low as we see em $49 plus tax. They are a unique pour.

The bourbon purchase have been few so far this year, but I am happy these were offered today.

How much would you get it for before? I only see EHTSmB for $100 on the dot these days.

$35-50, depending on the store and if it was on sale occasionally.

If I saw EHTSmB on shelves for $35, I would clear it.

Today's purchases.  It has been a while for the DN and I hope it hasn't changed much in the interim.  Never had the Bowman.   Enjoyed their straight bourbons at the distillery last year and heard good things about the port barrel finish.

DN 1843 reminds me of the Instant Hot Ralston wheat cereal I ate as a kid, just with slightly less sugar than I put on the cereal.  I keep plenty of Isaac Bowman (the ASmithB port finish name) on hand as most people I'm showing bourbon to haven't had a finished bourbon, let alone this one which is pretty good IMO.

Maybe 895's talking about what he paid circa 1956????

No need to.  It was almost always there when I wanted it.  But I believe it did go up to $39.99 in 2019 

 

Thanks Harry...

Hah!  That would have been one heck of a day if the Hogs were included.  Looking forward to comparing the two 107s, but that will be a little while.  I have some open bottles I need to get out of the way first.

if you don't mind me asking, what do you consider unique about it?  It's one of my faves, and consider it a step up from ER, and the single barrel taylor another step up. I love the flat cherry coke thing. Different for me than standard BT, but similar profile to a good Stagg jr.
