I wanted to stop in today to pick up, er, groceries and check out the bourbon aisle but got caught up in yard work. Oh well, I bet they have another sell for the holiday. Next time I'll PM you. I got put onto an email list with a manager there, so I'm able to plan a couple weeks ahead. Edited October 30, 2022 by PaulO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one ive ever seen in the wild and not ridiculously priced Awesome score!!!!! Love it with these are found in the wild like they used to be. I hope you enjoy every last drop!! Please let those of us who won't get any what it is like this year. This year is probably the first year I won't acquire one since 2013. Mainly because I'm not going to try. Prices going up and need to dedicate my time to other things not chasing bourbon. Still have plenty of them in the bunker to open and enjoy as well. On a side note, I did stop in the state store to grab a bottle of OF100 today on sale. Lots of other selections on sale that I REALLY wanted to grab as well, but I just don't need them. I have to start drinking down some of the bunker. Cheers everyone! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to normally get them off the shelf but not anymore. I haven't even seen one in a store since '18. Used to be the one thing I chased but not so much anymore. A store near me had a boatload of Evan Williams Single Barrel late summer. Once I read it is moving to KY only release I went and bought a few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptTim Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Rain and very strong wind ended my fishing day early. Not so early that I didn't catch a couple nice fish though. So I ended up doing some running around and found a couple that I have been looking for, per the suggestion of the good people on SB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I walked about two great bottles of bourbon today. I found an ECBP C922 at the local grocery. Oddly, after not seeing one on the shelf in few years, I found two this year under similar circumstances. Late Saturday afternoon grocery shopping. Earlier in the year, I recall posting that I would probably pass on a price over $70. However, seeing a bottle on the shelf for only a few dollars more makes quite the impression. $75 for 12-year old bourbon of known provenance and solid home run rate is still a bargain. Sure, I found my early bottles for $40 but that was almost 10 years ago. I also found one of Wild Turkey's soon to be entry-level premium bourbons. Based on the Campari investor chart posted earlier in the week, it appears I bought it for 1/2 off. I love a bargain. It is WT101. I sure hope it is good. OK, I know its good and I already opened it. Still a bargain at today's price, maybe not so much at Campari's projected price. Yet, I see standard EC and WR around $30. In today's market, while it would be disappointing, $30 would still be competitive. I know I pick it 10 out 10 times over those two. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been secretly stocking up on 1.75 liter bottles of 101 @ $38 apiece. When the Big Campari Powerful Price Premiumization Program hits bottle shops and grocery stores nationwide, I will be able to offer mine at a substantial savings from their $90 price tag and turn a tidy profit with a paltry 100 percent markup.

Betcha I have close to a dozen in the bunker. Never counted as it would discourage me from picking up more when I see it around $45. I have two 1843s. I buy it only to replace an empty.

Even as a kid my hot breakfast cereal contain whiskey ingredients. No wonder I transitioned to bourbon as an adult. Same thing with cold cereal...Frosted Flakes. Corn. Man, it almost makes me wonder if the cereal companies are invested in whiskey distillers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
