Kjbarth Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Visiting my parents in the “Live Free or Die State” for the past month while my dad is treated for colon cancer. Had to visit the state liquor stores several times to create my stash. Not shown, a MM CS batch 21-01 that I’ve already finished. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Purchased my first OF BP private pick this past week. Decent price too, less than I expected anyway. Looking forward to opening it soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpb5151 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Knob Creek single barrel, finally, been really hard to find. Also got EW BiB. Almost starting to get a collection going. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Sometimes it does pay to clean your car. Usually I get the wine coupons , which are a waste on me. But among my receipts I found a 15% off TotalWine "Spirits Direct" coupon, put it to good use last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apt43bear Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Picked up a bottle a Blantons from the Total Wine lottery (will give to a buddy that doesn’t have a Blantons in the bunker) but also picked up two bottles of the Makers Mark FAE release for 58.99. Excited to try this as I enjoyed the prior year release! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they haven't been opened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the state stores manage to help build any new or strong collection very quickly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Not 2day but Friday; I found a trio... The ER was a charity barrel & I paid big duckies for it, but I am a random donation guy and figured why not. Besides, it's kinda cool to write off a bottle of bourbon. Tax me on a bottle, will ya' Uncle Sam... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpb5151 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Got another Knob Creek single-barrel, another Evan Williams Bottled in Bond and my first Old Forester 100. Now up to 8 unopened bottles and 2 opened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Two more liters of BT for the bunker. At $27.99 each, it comes out to a little over $21.00 a 750. Why not. Biba! Joe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Excited to try the EC Rye, and that the WT101 is back in stock! Figured I’d give the Toasted a chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love the toasted. It's rare as hen's teeth here but we're definitely flush with rye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite good. Unique with a marshmallow finish. I did detect a slight amount of that artificial sugar/sweetener but it was minimal. I think This one is going to be a big ol 6 to 12 curveball when inserted into a blind flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is the first bottle I've bought in 8 months, since reaching my Bourbon Zen. After drinking up all the lower tier bourbon in the bunker, I had nothing appropriate for the occasional bourbon & Coke's I like with BBQ ribs and such. Now I'm a strictly "Distiller Only" customer. I leave all that fancy craft bottler juice to others. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Was in NC for my daughter's graduation and decided to see if I might find a couple things I can't find (or find easily) in MD. I picked up the Virgin Bourbon because I never tried it and I remember some good comments on the forums when is was age stated. Not sure what it is like now but it was pretty reasonably priced, so what the heck. I'm glad to see the WT rye available and for $24.95 for a 750. The FRSmB was $34, which is lower than expected but I haven't picked one up for quite a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
