Actually, I haven't been in any of their stores in years because none are convenient to where I live. I buy everything off their web site, which is deadly because it's easier to order from than Amazon. Once I accumulate enough stuff in will call, I have it delivered for a very reasonable fee. "Once I accumulate enough stuff in will call, I rent a U-Haul truck and pick it up." There, I fixed it for you lol. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 finished this off a few nights back. Already have a backup bottle ready too open soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourserker Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I've had quite a few bottles open on my shelf for the last couple of years, and I'm finally finishing some of them off. Recently it was an OF 1920 and an OF Statesman. If you've never tried it, mixing those two together is pretty tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeySnakes Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 To the bin! The JEP was interesting in a good, tasty way. The WT101 70th was solid and rich. OGD BIB is a staple. The Blantons was enjoyable, but I wouldn’t pay more than MSRP. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Culling again. I liked, but didn't love, this. For the $$, I prefer the OF100.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 One more to go to the big brown bin. I’m not sure the big brown bin will be going down to the curb though. Yet another “Weird Weather Wednesday” here. A cold front is moving in later. Rain, rain/snow mixed, and wind. They’re predicting wind gusts over 50 mph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LW25 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I have fallen back into the habit of leaving small pours in bottles that I don't want to kill, then I run out of space, so then I take a couple days and kill them all. Finished a Redwood Empire CS Pipe Dream and a CS Emerald Giant, a Bakers 7 High Rye, a Crittenden's Bo-Ry-Ru, and a Russell's 10 last weekend. Now I've got space for 5 more bottles, and it's killing me not to run to the store LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of going to the store, I’ve been reaching way back in the bunker and bringing out some better bottles to drink. On days like today I have to shake my head though. I’m on grandparent duty. I gotta pick my grandson up from school. Between our house and his school, then from his school to my son’s house then back to our house, I drive by or near four liquor stores. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Final weekend pour, knocking out the WT101 70th. Really good stuff. Glad I picked up a backup, as it has completely disappeared around here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I love this stuff; it looks like I'll have to hit the road to track down more. For some reason, few stores carry the full 1792 line, so finding a BIB can be arduous. Pity, because right now Barton makes the most classic and flavorful juice of all the legacy distillers, and the BIB is the sweet spot for me, both as to age and proof. If I can't find it, the next best option is Calumet Farms 8 year for about 10 bucks more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that better than the regular RR1792, and not just because the VOB is cheaper, regardless of price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOB 100 is great bourbon, these days IMO a better pour than WT101, but is utterly unavailable in the Philly/South Jersey area. The only variant I ever see is the 80-or-so proof version sold in large handles. I look for it whenever I'm in Chicago to see my daughter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my neck of the woods for Barton I opt for Tom Moore Bottled in Bond. It comes in a family sized jug for just $22. It's my official Cheap Bastard bottle Edited March 12 by Kepler spelling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
