Skinsfan1311 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Went to a different ABC store and picked up a bottle of Old Forester 1920 ($54.99) and 4R Small Batch, ($34.99). Both on sale, and the taxes are a little less than in MD, so I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I was distracted by a phone call and inadvertently picked up a bottle of Old Grand Dad BiB; confusing it for Early Times BiB, which is on my wish list of bourbons to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all be that distracted. OGD BIB distracts me all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 First time I’ve seen the WT101 RYE in NC in a loooong time. Same price as the 81 proof too. Looking forward to finally trying it. I don’t often do 80 proofers, but when I do it’s usually this or Dickel No. 8. Sometimes you just want an easy day drinker. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Got a sample of Stellum Bourbon for a review, and turned around and about two bottles. I've really enjoyed what I've tried from Barrell Craft Spirits, although the price points are such that I haven't pulled the trigger (outside of an American Vatted Malt). This reminds me a bit of those Barrell Bourbon releases, but at $55. Not saying it is the same, but I think this is priced fairly for cask strength bourbon - and the combination of different mashbills, different distilleries does create a really nice pour. NAS, but in interviews they've said the core is 5-6 year bourbon, but with some 4-16 yr old barrels included. To me - what's in the glass is more important than the age statement, and I was really surprised. Curious if others try it and what they think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Back in the home land and stopped by a store as we get set to head "home". Exited with a bottle of OFSB, Makers Mark 101, OF 1920, Starlight SB Total Wine Selection, and a regular bottle of Woodenville. Can't wait to get home to try all of them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Some of these still lying around in the UK. These were £50 each, which is a lot for what it once was but a fair price for a dusty I think. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Finally.... Finding Blanton's in N.Fl is impossible. My brother found these three beauties for me in a small Cuban bodega in Hialeah/Miami. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonman Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Dropped by a little place I've been to before a few times, and they still had a couple JB Distiller's Cuts on the shelf, so they had to come home with me. It makes a nice variation on the Beam profile, which is one of my favorites. They also had a couple 1.75Ls of old label KC 9 year old; has anybody ever compared current age stated KC to the pre-NAS version? Tempting to try one out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioyada Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 It has been a slow bourbon buying year so far for me, but I picked up two bottles of CEHT small batch today after work. Those are getting hard to find lately, so I grabbed an extra for the stash or as a gift later on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Babington Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 of the many things getting sampled tonight is Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof. Back in day I drank lot of Jack because that's what my leathers clad Waylon Jennings crowd drank. After while I found it to be good but over priced, over hyped. Of course it had it's fans. Not sure whatever happened to user "Silverfish" but he liked it so much he bought barrel and put it in his basement. anywho, I've mentioned this one before. Like all Jack, it might be overpriced. It is good and different up front, not whole lot after but a gives little bit. If you're in the store throwing away money, give this one a gander. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 What can I say - I caved. I looked at grocery store sale paper that came in the mail. That is a great price for MM. I dropped by and picked up OF 100 and WT 101 (several of each) @ $17.48 a 750ml. It's hard to beat that anywhere. Also, I had to consider, my son will start summer vacation from school next month. Better stock up now, when I can shop by myself. You have to make hay while the sun is shining. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Wednesday nite at Pappy's Place, I bought a handle of The Wicked Oak Society Buffalo Trace (super yummo stuff!) for $55 OTD. Tried to steal it, but got caught walking (staggering) out of the cabin. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpb5151 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 WT101 and 4 Roses Single Barrel today. Had the 101 before and enjoyed it. First try with 4 Roses but tried their Small Batch before, wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked out with all three bottles for less than two hundred, which in Fl is a steal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I met my son for lunch, I actually ended up at different store than my normal one and given my current work schedule decided to get while the getting was good. I was looking to grab OF100 but they didn't have any. I ended up picking up a couple of FRSmB Selects for $39, an OF Statesman for $37, and a BT for $18 plus a KC and EC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I saw cases of 750ml and 1.75L bottles stacked on the floor. I feel somehow IN is to BT what TX was for Weller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
