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. If I left my bottle at my daughter’s, it would disappear. She and her husband are the ones i drink a bottle with at Christmas. I love the depth of the flavors in the previous years selection. This 140 proof 2023 bottle is by far the darkest selection produced by Garrison. I’m just wondering with the dark color and higher proof, will the bottle be more intense with the palate or taste about the same. As I said earlier, the proof is not an issue although I am intrigued by the 140 proof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibsie Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Total Wine Grand Reserve finally came through for me this morning! Went for a Blanton's barrel select release and ended up getting a choice at the door. First time ever seeing one in the wild. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) We had to drive up the Nashville airport this afternoon and we stopped by one of regular shops. AE is one of my wife's favorites. Edited December 10, 2023 by Davesnothere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbons that existed before? the only ones I know of are the various Woodford Reserve "master's collection" special releases, like Batch Proof. Those are being released in 70cl size now. Brown-Forman are the trailblazers. There are 2 Jack Daniel's regular shelfies at 70cl. The Bonded JD and the Bonded JD Rye. B-F are testing the waters. I think almost zero consumer blow back on these. Just wait, there will be more bottles being converted. I assume they will be part of a total repackaging effort.

I had seen the new JD B.I.B. in both 1 liter and 700ml bottles, but most common is 700ml version. When I read all this I think - next time I'm shopping I'll but a 1.75 liter of whatever. I'll show them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Well I said I wouldn’t post much in this thread but here’s a recent and GOOD impulse buy. With all the hoopla surrounding JDSBBP rye and being out making the rounds for holiday shopping, I came across a James E Pepper bib whilst looking for the aforementioned JD. I briefly debated getting it but I truly LOVE the fact that this distillery has been brought back from extinction and am happy to support their resurgence. The bib was mentioned to me on my last distillery visit but not yet available. I am happy to report that in typical bib one note style this displays a delicious cream soda profile. I appreciate bibs for that one note (unless they have additional aging ala old Fitz….) as long as the note is delicious and appealing like an OGD bib. This is one that is tasty and sets itself apart with that tasty cream soda thing. A welcome addition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We picked up our loyalty bottles from one of our regular shops this morning. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesnothere Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We took a different way home today and stopped in a new shop. He had a taterlicous selection, ER, Blantons etc. All for only a couple of dollars over msrp. These were the only two I tatered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Well, I had an early morning mission. Binny’s was a couple of blocks away, so on the way home I stopped and looked around. Lots of interesting stuff but I decided to pass on everything. As I headed towards the door, I saw a friend that works there. He used to manage another liquor store in the area. We exchanged pleasantries, and he commented on the BIB samples I used to share with him. Sigh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM818 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Thanks, Santa, you’re the best! But you should probably stay out of these kind of retailers until 2024. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I think this is going to be the last drop for the year. New years resolution is to make more posts in the empty bottle thread. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegoz Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Was very happy that a local-ish store that is doing a "Twelve Days of Bourbon" promotion offered up some Baker's 13 today. Very excited to crack this one based on the reviews I've read and watched on YouTube. I've really come around on Beam products this year, especially these extensions of the old Small Batch Bourbon Collection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker's has been very, very good to me!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
