Dad was stationed in Naples, (Italy, not FL), and I started collecting them when I was in High School. We dipped the necks in paraffin, and they've followed me around since then, and most of them survived, several moves, including 20+ years in the attic. Back in the day, the biggest threat for my collection was keeping the bottles away from High School buddies Ha! Same threat from my college roommates. When I said losing a bottle to “stolen”, that’s euphemistically considered “unknowingly helping a brother out”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Not really bourbon bit close enough. I found another bottle of Dickel 13 Year BIB for $29.99. It rang up $45.99 at the register. I told the cashier "Hold on now!" He fixed me up. I walked out happy with a nice bottle of whiskey on the cheap and a couple of boxes of tea for my lovely bride. I took her and her family to a restaurant they like for lunch. I am still riding the hero wave. How long will last? Who knows? It always ends unexpectedly. Keeping my head low and my mouth shut as a defensive measure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourserker Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Been lying low because I'm gonna do some shopping when I'm traveling during the summer. Stopped by a store and saw a 375ml of Woodford Double Oaked. Been super curious about this one. My first impression is that I'm impressed...it seems to hit all the right spots on my palette. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Not purchased but gifted. A friend was visiting his son in Arkansas. He brought this back for me. The beagle wasn't impressed but the legs in the glass were impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Just got back from TW. Letting these two knotheads decide which one they prefer. As an aside (and for a different thread), I was temporarily thrilled when the store manager and an employee showed up with a case of KC 12. I asked the price. My excitement abated instantly. $75. I will be passing through Indiana in about a month, where I can get it for right around $60. If I buy five, I can SAVE $75, which makes the fifth one free. Or at least I can try that logic on the wife. I get the feeling she may be a little smarter than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...whenever the big box LS manager says, "Oh, those came and went like a couple weeks ago," is just code for 'you're not important enough to get one or even know when they're actually coming." Good to have reputable local LS still around and not gouging 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grady330 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 picked up a Woodford Dbl Oak. Like that alot. Was offered a Old Elk Cigar cut. Any thoughts. A bit steep at $130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean E Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 $130 a bottle?! Yeah that is certainly steep, should be in the $50 range for a double oak. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean E Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Went down to the local Sams Club to get some items for the family fishing trip and found they have Old Forester 1920 Probation Style. They had it listed for $45! Needless to say I snagged a couple of them! Dean 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean I think it was the Old Elk Cigar cut that was $130? Regardless I have no insight on that Old Elk. I do like the Double Wheat I have open. Also a store pick of Old Elk bourbon I've tried is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of the ES Thanks, Sony ES equipment were built like tanks and over delivered on quality. Not bad for a basement rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
