(Obviously this would not apply if I came across a special bottle (to me) at a fair price. This will not happen due to my current standards.) I've been on a big road trip this month and have tested my resolve at stores all over. I needed sips along the way, so... WT101 Rye $21. Eastern CO OGD BiB $19. Central AR Larceny BP C922 $80. near the AL/GA state line EC18 $189. Western GA Larceny BP C922 $85. North Atlanta WTKS $63. North Atlanta EC 8 yr store pick 94p $36. North GA KC9 $29. West Tennessee OF 100 $19. OKC EW1783 Litre $18. OKC Baby Saz $27. OKC WSR 1.75 $60. West OK ...and finished the trip with: OGD BiB $23 Albuquerque Jeffersons Reserve Single Barrel store pick $48 Albu Baby Saz $24 North of Albu FR SmBS $51 SW CO JD 12 year $90 SW CO So much for the buying hiatus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady330 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Blanton's SiB. My LS gets a six pack every 3 months, they put one aside for me. Upcoming for the summer, they told me that they used to get 6 six packs a month of regular BT, now will be 3. And almost no ER. Our population in the summer, here in eastern Long Island more than triples. Fortunately I rarely buy either. See what I did there......!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Picked up a bottle of Woodford of the Derby on Saturday. Should be a good weekend. Coronation on Saturday morning, Derby on Saturday afternoon and the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally get to watch a race live without having to get up super early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Yep, those early morning races on the weekend are not my favorite. But at least it gives us a reason to drink Tropical Mimosas (1 oz coconut rum, 1 jigger tropical fruit juice(pineapple works), 4 oz Champagne - we use Freixnet, a Cava from Spain. 12 a bottle at WMart). Got to tell you I am not a Red Bull fan. I think that Verstappen is a jerk and poorly represents the sport. More of a Hamilton fan but also follow Aston-Martin and Bottas at Alfa.

Richnimrod Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I stopped a couple days ago and scooped a couple of the private pick bottles of Rebel BP from my local monger that I mentioned earlier. I'll try to save a full one for Bourbon Joe's DiL. She loved it last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Picked up another 1L of JW Dant to replace the outgoing bottle. I'm absolutely loving this coming out of the freezer into a Yeti tumbler with a cube. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered it from Astor Wines in NYC to round out shipping on an Armagnac I purchased. I won't be getting another Dant unless I do that again as shipping for just the Dant would be several time the price of the bottle, unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We would buy a $10 dollar bottle of bitters online, then "round up" to $250 to get free shipping, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 And just to prove my own point, I saw a bottle of Beam SiB on sale for $31 at BevMo. But I had a coupon for $10 off if you spend $75 so of course I had to add another bottle to bring it up to $75. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 A friend gifted a bottle of Heavens Door 14 Year Old Single Barrel Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks. It is obviously something I would not have purchased for myself due to the cost so I appreciate the gift. I don't know much about it other than it appears to be Dickel since it was distilled in TN with the classic 84/8/8 mash bill. I have never had older Dickel single barrel so I am looking forward to trying it. No drinking tonight so I will try it this weekend. The bottle looks really cool but the side label is odd. It says it is comprised of their own distilled whiskey along with hand selected barrels from partnering whiskey makers. This would suggest it is not a single barrel. Also, at 14 years old, none of the distillate in the bottle could be their stuff. I also wonder why the label has a line for the cooperage and char level but they don't provide this information. They should have it since it is a single barrel. I chalk it up to marketers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I mentioned in the “What Bourbon Did You Pass On” thread that I might stop by Binny’s and take advantage of their Cinco De Mayo sale. The had 1.75’s of MM on sale for $39.99. Peanuts for a 1¢ too. So yes I did, and yes it was probably dipped by my gal. With the handle of MM I bought a couple of weeks ago, I now have twins! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this whisky crap? It is whiskey in 'merica. Just to travel back to our era @fishnbowljoe I always liked the Landers twins. I guess, even though they have different attributes and if my arm was twisted, I could learn to love the Maker's Mark twins as well.

markandrex Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) From my wife for my birthday (tomorrow). We will be out with friends so tonight it is early birthday. I’m not certain where she came by this but I’m looking forward to this. It has Fred Noe’s and Baker Beam’s signatures on it.
