TehRegion219 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Been crazy busy the last month, but I still managed to sneak off and pick up a few bottles. Picked up the JTS, VOB86, and the EW1783 in Louisville the past couple weekends while bmx racing with my son. The 2 Blanton’s, 3 W107, Wsr, and ECbp from the local Kroger over the past few weeks as well, I’m starting to figure out delivery day and now onto the two other stores within 5 mins from my work (guy in line told me how he picked up 2 Stagg jr that were just sitting on the shelf for $40/ea!!) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Now go find the VOB 100. I bet the big stores have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the stuff, so much that I have 5-6 bottles bunkered of it back home. I also I have a couple 90’s and a single 80 proof. VOB 100 is one of the best values imo. Even more when I seen it on sale for like $9-10 in KY. Of course the shelves were empty. The 86 I’ve only seen once and was as tasty as the 100. For $10, how can you beat it!?

PaulO Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 How about the HH 6 year 90 proof. The new EW 1783 90 proof is very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehRegion219 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I’m still on the hunt fir the HH green label 6yr. Seems like the guys I’ve talked to all have had luck at smaller mom and pop stores rather than the big boy box stores. My eyes are open everytime we’re in KY and I have time to run off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But last year K&L got in some 86, 90 and 100 proof and I was able to get a bottle or two of each. I wouldn't buy the 86 or 90 again but this week they have just gotten the 100 back in stock so I picked up a couple of bottles. A great value at $15 and it's cool to have something that you don't see every day. If you're in Calif. (they don't ship out of state) and you've been looking for this, they still have it in stock..

fishnbowljoe Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Shopping day today, so y’all know what that means. FWIW, they had BT at msrp but I passed on it. They did have one that caught my eye though. I hesitated because the last bottle I took a flyer on was a little less than desirable. The deciding factor was that this was a store pick, and more often than not their picks have been pretty good. So I went ahead and bit the bullet. What can I say? Gonna give ‘er one more try. Biba!

JakeySnakes Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Picked up a VOB 100 1.75 big guy today. Every once in awhile a local store will get one in, and I always seem to be the one who buys it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I found some of the older (big turkey head label) WT 101. They were pushed in back. Also finally got MM 101. Will open that later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The gang at the LS was curious about the Kings County 7yo SiB since no one had touched it, so I offered to do the purch-and-pop. Unexpectedly nice and punchy with a distinctive Highland Single Malt Scotch barley sugar vein running through it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it and almost spit it out. Its like "super Dickel" and I hate regular Dickel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 A few bottles followed me home from KY this week. After liking the 200ml sample well enough, I kind of wanted more, but told myself I wasn’t buying any AA90p in plastic. So of course the last place I stopped on the way out of town had glass 750’s. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwightschrute Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 OWA 107 for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanP Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Buddy of mine grabbed a bottle of this New Riff for me up in Chicago, can’t get it here in South Carolina. Pairing it with an Alec Bradley Prensado, I’ve got to say I’m really enjoying it. It’s a little thin but has a nice little bite that’s not overpowering. Very smooth, not too sweet but not too earthy either. Worth $50 I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPBourbon Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Doing a little work at the cabin today. Picked up some store picks from a local. Three of them I’m pretty sure are MGP juice. Opened the oldest one tonight ( the Mattingly 1845) and it is excellent!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Picked up several daily drinkers - BT, WT101, KC9 - plus a RRSiB PS, FRSiB and MM101. Heading up to Bear Lake, Michigan early in the week to meet up with a close friend for several days so I grabbed the RRSiB and MM101 to enjoy during our visit and to leave whatever remains. Also, plan to take up a WL12. Good bourbon, good friends, good time. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Picked up a Knob Creek 9 yr (which I guess is just KC now; it caught me by surprise after the age statement dropped). Still one of my favs for the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
