Same here.  One of the few exceptions to my avoidance of newer distilleries.  If I can find this in Atlanta, then I'm a buyer for sure. 

You do realize that’s now three things we agree on...

Picked up another KCSiB PS and saw an unadvertised Larceny PS, which came home with me, too. Stopped at another place & grabbed an ET BiB; need to add more before while it's still around in this form.

Is this like when the Ghostbuster's proton packs accidentally cross streams?

I’ve had some very nice OF sib non barrel strength picks from this warehouse and floor, had to snag the BS. Also picked up 1783 to give it a try, worst case scenario it’ll end up being used as a mixer.

I liked the 86 proof 1783, and I think that rebranded 90 proofer is even better. Hope you like it.

I need another bottle like a hole in the head but I see these on the shelf so rarely that it'd be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity.

I bought the same one from TW.    Must have been multiple barrels  as mine was  20-0108.  Distilled date was a couple days later @ 12/5/2011, and dumped date a couple days earlier @ 12/9/20.  Botlling date was the same.  I am interested to find out what you think of your barrel.  This was my 1rst RRSiB, wasn't "wowed", but I thought it was good to very good.  Wondering if the TW PS are just given to them, or if they choose them?  Might make a difference in my buying prefs moving forward.

Wish that OF would show up around here.

Very nice price. Found a bottle around here at $72.99 before a 10% discount.

No. The three places I go to have no OF single barrel at all.

3 of those 4 bottles I just can’t find locally. The WT RB so the one I can find reliably.  Have been looking for a replacement OGD 114 locally for a few months as my bottle is about 1/3 full and I don’t want to finish it until I find a replacement.

Spare 4RYL handle and some orange bitters.

I found a place that has all the Whiskey Row series. Plenty of Rare Breed around here as well.  The ECBP and OGD114 have not been around here for awhile, just starting to show up again. For $26 (OGD 114) with my discount, very very hard to pass on.

Choices are so fleeting, here that I let a couple of reviews dictate my life for me...

I spent a 90 dollar bill on a "Remus Repeal Series 5" because I knew it was my only chance at truckin' or suckin'...

Found a bottle of the old Old Forester Signature 100 proof today.  I have a backup bottle of the new-label 100 and will be blinding them tonight.  Some say it's "same juice, different label" while others say they taste different.  Guess I'll see.

So I blinded them tonight; here are my unexpert conclusions. 

[TehRegion219]

So no W107 today……. Actually nothing good on the truck today, at least anything I’d wait around for, the W12 is from my bunker at home. So I picked these up instead (there’s at least one bourbon in there ) 

 

I’ll be throwing throwing the root beers and BTbc in the fridge and maybe give it a whirl in the upcoming days, which root beer would you use??

 

Now having the trifecta Weller ingredients, I’ll also will be mixing some Weller blend as well.   Maybe a W12 highball with the ale81?!??

Picked up the new George Dickel 8 year along with the excellent new version of 1783. And done man cannot live on bourbon alone, trying out a new gin.

That is a phrase I have truly never uttered.  Not a fan of that store at all.

 

In my neck of the woods anyway (Texas) Total Wine sucks and never "comes through."  Their "Grand Reserve" member lotteries are a joke. 

 

In Texas anyway, Spec's is the way to go as far as big box chain retailers go.  Much better store if you ask me, with better customer service and still great prices (usually better prices than TW for the hard-to-find or allocated products, but TW sometimes beats Spec's prices on every day shelf items).  To be honest, I could give a flip about who beats who by a few dollars -- if one store has better customer service and still decent prices, that's the store I'm going to shop at.
