Named Forester instead of Old Forester. Took the gamble as I got it quite cheap, together with another oldie, Bourbon de Luxe. So you have a bottle of old Forester, not Old Forester. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 My wife had to stop at the store on the way home from our granddaughters basketball game last night. FWIW, split duty. I went to our grandsons Xmas program. Anyway, she had to purchase more fixins for Xmas goodies. Well, she bought me a little sumpin sumpin too. Nice timing huh? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMatt Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I stopped at the supermarket for some groceries and of course, I checked the liquor aisle, though there is rarely anything of note. But today they had two bottles of Horsey Whiskey, and a couple of clearance items worth attention. I quickly texted two bourbon buddies and snagged the two Blanton's for one and a1783 for each or them (I am not a big Blanton's fan) plus a couple of 1783's and a Nelson's Greenbrier for myself. Not bad for a day's work. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Me again. I made a quick stop at a liquor store after dinner tonight. MM is normally $24.99 there. On sale at times for $22.99. I knew it was on sale, and that’s why I stopped there. I wanted a MM 750 for when I receive my MM holiday label. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to grab a bottle and there was an extra $2.00 instant savings! MM for $20.99! Woo Hoo! The only “off” thing is that it doesn’t appear it was dipped by my gal. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Well, well, look what i found loitering on a State Store shelf! I haven't seen one of these in years. Babar approves of this wonderful blend! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babar approves of this wonderful blend! Nice pickup @Jazzhead. A couple years or so ago, a local store had a bunch of bottles of Outryder at 25% off in one of their clearance carts. I like WW, so I figured why not. I didn’t open it for a day or so. I opened it and had a pour, and boy was it good. I went back the next day to grab a couple more. All gone. Not the first time I missed the boat like that. IMHO, @WhiskeyBlender did a masterful job with this whiskey. (See what I did there? ) I hope you enjoy your bottle of Outryder as much as I did mine @Jazzhead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I made the doughnut delivery round this morning to three LS. I came home with these. I guess Michters dropped today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I purchased a bottle of standard Larceny. I'm not a huge fan, but I have a bottle of the Barrel Proof, (release C922), and read somewhere on the board where a fellow SB'er mixed 'em 50/50 and really enjoyed it. We'll see! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Busy couple of days. Visited Amsterdam and had some drinks with Obree. Frighteningly, our wives met and got along quite well. Brought home the bottles in the pic. Obree hunts well and gets good prices, as one would expect of the Dutch. Check the dates on the Bookers and ECBP, far better priced than in the US. Yellow Spot $60 each, that was nice. And those Old HH are around $50. I have gotten really, really hooked on 4R SBLE22 (and 20). A friend got me an ECBP C923 for $75. He then talked a young lady he'd never met into getting him one too, with his cash to get around the "one per person thing" (they had plenty). She gave it (and nothing else) to him in the parking lot. Got two LB7's for $130 each - those are really, really good. Much better than last year's. Completed the 20 OWA for 1 KoK, 1 JB Boston, and 1 Stagg 22B swap. Got another Boston for a friend who loves them for $210, he was happy to pay that. Found KC12 for $60. Found a 136-proof JDSBBP Rye for $80, taxes included. A bit excessive. A friend was willing to stand in line for hours in Alabama, I told him "Appreciate it, not worth it". He said he'd hit Lynchburg the next time he drove by. Michters dropped in PR, a true oddity. Got Shenks, Bomberger, and several 10y rye at MSRP. That was a welcome surprise. They also have EC Toasted here in PR for $45 plus tax. It's the only EC I don't like, passed. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shyster512 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Just got my hands on a bottle of Garrison Brothers Cowboy. Man does it have a dark color! Heavy proof too( which I don’t mind-Barrel Strength is my favorite for taste). Has anyone tried it and have an opinion on the 2023 release? I’m trying to save it until my family gets home for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen one of these in years. Babar approves of this wonderful blend! @Jazzhead and @fishnbowljoe I'm absolutely psyched that you dig some WW Outryder! @Jazzhead That looks like the last version of Outryder where I was still using a small amount of the 2011 48% "rye-ish" whiskey in the blend. Also, I love that Kellogg's Raisin Bran and the elephant sharing the photo! As an FYI, as of Nov. 1st, after almost exactly 9 years to the day when I first started, my tenure at Wyoming Whiskey is over and I am now "Master Blender Emerita." I have given over the majority of the blending duties to a new master blender. My understanding is that Edrington still wants me to continue to blend Outryder, as well as work on some older whiskey projects (i.e., some 12 to 14 yr releases). I've got in about a year's worth of blending done for them before my departure, so the current and upcoming releases still have my mark on them. Cheers!

Found it at MSRP and keep at my daughter's as the Emergency Bottle. Good, but you have to be in mood for it. Probably psychological, but I tasted mesquite.

Davesnothere Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Mrs. DNH found an ER 1.75 in a store that we don't often frequent. She's also collecting the Smoke Wagon Christmas bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
