lemonman Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 A friend told me to check out a little hole in the wall liquor shop nearby, and turns out he was right- picked up two bottles of JB Distiller's Cut, which I never expected to see. I will be visiting there again soon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I didn’t have plans today, retirement is good. I decided to take the Corvette out for a spin and do some eagle and bourbon spotting near Kentucky Lake. The nest down river from me is active and I have seen them hunting. They are on the nest so there is at least 1 egg. They had two last year. No decent pics yet. I love to just sit and watch them, truly majestic. I found quite a few over near the lake. No clear shots of them either. The bourbon hunting was less productive. Multiple stops and didn’t pull the trigger on anything. I decided to swing by one shop where the owner is a brig Corvette fan. He drove the ‘80 last year and loved it. He was in so I let him drive again and we swung in a little local place for bbq. When we got back to the shop he went in the back and came out with these. MSRP. I told him to plan on me next year, probably every year. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little did you know that it would be equally as good for picking up bottles with an old guy on the label!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Latest haul. $206.00 OTD, (less the Ardbeg, which was gifted to me). I always have BT on hand, and was down to my last bottle. Mom gives me call from the package store, and said that "BT is on sale for $21.99, how many bottles do you want?" Had I realized that they were 1L bottles, I would've asked her to buy a case. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babington said: now that's bad a$$. 11 miles of unmonitored fun? tail o' dragon gets serious sometimes, not for wimps. Ha! Several years ago the wife and I took a trip down there and ran the tail in our rental Ford Escape with the turbo 4 cylinder and AWD. She was screaming and holding on for dear life most of the ride. I kept in sight of the group of 911’s that started in front of me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have inadvertently met my brother in law. He’s a Corvette guy, and has been to Bowling Green a number of times. He has two 86 Vettes. Sadly, he was on his way home from a car show last fall and was in an accident, and his beloved 63 was totaled. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain you will be drinking some of this. Pfffft. As if. The Dickel was a last min add and opened at the store. Sipped above 84.4pf with some caramel both on the nose and palate. Finish is light with a subdued minerality. Still not a profile I enjoy, but I’ll circle back every so often. Thinking the Makers is up tonight. Oh and 4R sent us a sample of our barrel and those savages polished it right off! That’s ok. I’ve still got all the BP samples from BT. . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3Nut Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 My local grocer had one last poor lonely bottle of BT on the shelf. I was in a merciful mood so I adopted it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LvR Mike Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 So made my first trip to, Kentucky this weekend. Was trying to get anything I can't find back home or anything that was cheaper really. 18 bottles later... Also, I went on a tour at Bardstown Bourbon Company. Loved it.

tascabe Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 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 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KY Tavern I can find, but prefer other options. AA and Old Fitz, I don't believe get distributed around here anymore. I would grab those if given the chance. Starting with the Early Times, to the VOB - all very solid choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
