Rhettro Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Just now, FasterHorses said: Just released this and bib right? That’s my understanding. I’d heard it was hitting other markets this week, so when I hit the road to Pittsburgh today, I was hoping to find it. Stopped into a honey hole in MD and wouldn’t you know, there it was. Purchased a BiB, too - but that’s stashed in the trunk of my truck out front of the hotel. I also stopped into a local Pittsburgh shop by the hotel and they also had this sitting on the shelf. No BiB, but i was happy to grab an extra Triple Mash to open tonight. $39.99 OTD. Good stuff, too. As a JD fanboy I’m quite pleased with it tonight. It’s all dark cherry-banana bubblegum. Worth noting that both this Triple Mash and the BiB bottles are only 700mL. They’re really good lookin’ but not to typical American standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anwalt Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Weller days continue in Ohio. Flying monkeys found 13 SR and 3 A107's at MSRP. One store at a time, one bottle at a time, all over the state. Sadly none of the other labels. Still, a very nice haul, good reserve for times when they disappear. Not sure if I'm a Weller Whore just yet. Perhaps a novice strumpet? One called Blood Oath is evidently all the rage. That's how we were able to finally get a couple of A107's, the regulars had picked up the BO's first. I do not know anything about those beyond what a quick google revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The FAE-02 is to replace an empty from a few weeks ago. The ECTB was a gift from the store manager for my birthday (tomorrow). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven s Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Little shopping today yielded: WSR 35 (from "the back", also saw a shelf full at 40 at another store) JJB 70 (ouch, also saw at 68) Blantons 64 (from "the back", the dude said it was the first one that he had gotten in a long time) Rare Breed 49 (saw lots of these, as high as 89.)

Harry in WashDC Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Rainy days are poopy days - trapped inside, and most of the house-work/repairs got done during COVID. HENCE! I manufactured a road trip FOR ME!! Waited for my wife to lie down on the couch with her reading materials then announced that the cats are out of dry cat food so I was going to the store. I was told to pick up some frozen garlic bread and a dozen eggs. The grocery is two doors away from a small liquor store I frequent. I picked up only staples - one 750 each of Ritt ($26), EWW (hadn't had any EW BIB in awhile and it was $3 off MSRP), and 4R YL (for the freezer and ditto $3 off). Augmented the grocery purchases with three cans of Chef Boyardee Ravioli which I surreptitiously consume while doing yard work. I think "they" put crack in the ravioli. AND in the 4R. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Went to the last store I had seen JDSBBP months ago, and they had another. So, home it came. As it’s Kentucky Derby Day, I couldn’t resist the Derby Woodford bottle just down the shelf… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughewil Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I saw on here EW SiB is going to be a Kentucky only release. I have never tried it as I normally drink 100+ proof and only have the BiB on my shel, but with it going away I grabbed the last bottle at the liquor store. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
