parksmart Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I don’t recall a topic along these lines in recent memory, so let’s see if anyone else finds this thread worthwhile. Kinda like the “one that got away” fishing stories, consider this the same for bottles and pours you just missed out on at bars, restaurants and stores. I’ll start with a pic from just last night that’s pretty self explanatory...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Can you go back? That doesnt come around often. (Heard its not that great) I have so many misses i wouldnt know where to start. A couple years ago I left a shelf of Blaum Bros 12 yr Single Barrels on the shelf before I knew what the heck they were. Grabbed the Belle Meade 12 year instead which is not a bad consolation. Both 12 yr MGP. Edited April 11, 2021 by FasterHorses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parksmart Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I doubt they have bottles in storage waiting to come out...... Even if it’s not particularly tasty, would still like to give it a try just to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good price to try that. Did you miss because they sold out, or you missed it on the menu? Think Eagle Rare, but replace the cherry with strawberry. That’s basically what it tastes like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love the "dusty finds" thread, but since that ship has long past sailed, this thread should have some legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I loved the Makers Mark 101 and assumed it was a permanent line extension. Turns out I haven't been able to replace my bottle because, well, because it's apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I remember passing on a few bottles of EHT Smb at a local grocery store a couple of years ago because I thought the price was a few $ to high. Now that I want more of it, I can't find it or it's a lottery item around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Took a quick trip to Baton Rouge this weekend and passed up a pour of Blantons at every stop we made without even asking prices. Had a Parrish Brewery Canebreak, of which I am a fan at two restaurants and good ole' Yeungling at another. Besides beer goes better with oysters, whether raw or charred... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Eagle Rare, but replace the cherry with strawberry. That’s basically what it tastes like. Saw it on the menu. Ordered it and actually went inside (was seated outdoors) to see if they had the bottle on the shelves. Only saw the CEHT SiB and SmB bottles amongst the couple hundred bottles they had behind the bar. Server returned to confirm they were sold out.

And, great idea for a thread, BTW. I recently missed out on Stagg Jr. batch 15. My son wound up getting the last bottle from the store we've been getting it at for the last year or two since it's completely dried up everywhere else. Of course, now reviewers are saying it might be the best batch ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest... They are all pretty good, even batch one if you dump enough water or ER10 into it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven s Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 missed some OF 100p store picks. the Oregon control board website showed 4 in stock at a store here in Portland. I go there, and was told " sure, we keep them in the back". The guy comes out of the back and says "no dice, 2 were damaged, and the owner is keeping the other 2". What BS. I was walking out frustrated when I saw they had JD SBBP for 54$, and ECBP for 69$. Ok, I'll take those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over 2 1/2 hours long so not recommended unless you have plenty of free tome. But, by the end, you'll see why professional tasters spit rather than swallow when tasting a large number of whiskies, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJDycfLOsOQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirstyinOhio Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 The state of Ohio's liquor agency, OHLQ, posted up their results from their latest lottery which was held for the chance to purchase a bottle of their single barrel select Blanton's, Eagle Rare, or E.H. Taylor. As of today, my perfect record still stands in these lotteries with zero wins.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from out of town as well; this was the 1st time for me to enjoy 33 Staves, but usually we stay at Lexington Green where Palmers has a great selection of Bourbons. I did see another Bourbon Bar at the Summit, but haven’t explored it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just down from the original Malone’s on Tate’s Creek. I also love the bar at Goodfella’s, in the distillery district. The pizza’s pretty good too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
