road trip found me rolling through Paducah KY. Pulled off the highway and grabbed a few VOB100s, a JW Dant BiB, and a JTS Brown BiB. All were 14-15$.

You definitely forgot the TW Samuels BiB.

Yesterday I ran around to a couple party stores. I was surprised at what I found on the shelf. I picked up a btl of Michter's 10yr bourbon, EC 18yr and Pikesville Rye. All at a fair price. I was happy to pay 160+ for the Michter's, 133+- for the EC and 53+ for the Pikesville.

Paducah used to have a great liquor store there that did fantastic single barrel picks.  Unfortunately they are no longer there.  I guess all good things must come to an end eventually, as they say.

I hit one of my favorite LS to re-up on  KC12 & JJBSiB.  The 12 was overpriced, so I'll get it somewhere else. The 18 was $169.00, so I blew the cobwebs out of my wallet & bought it.

I don’t think you’ll have any regrets.

I love how balanced and consistent it is.

I get to post here for a change...a buddy of mine is severely downsizing his collection. I went over to grab up a few drinker bottles of rye to help him out, but ended up scooping a pair of bourbons as well.

Great score on that JB Distiller's Cut.  That was some sort of fantastic one off batch they did around 2017, long gone for most. 

Fantail WTKS, a cool bottle for sure.

Was grocery shopping and the store got a few more of these. Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to grab this one so I had all 3 of the recipes 4R released back in the fall.

I had to take a break in April due to tax bill, other expenses. Now that May is here, I've been on a bit of a spending spree.  I ordered the 10 year yesterday. Got a fairly okay deal on it. I bought the 12 year last year for MSRP. It is my best bourbon. I think the 14 us even better. Will be that next month.

How do you like the John J Boman? My Knob Creek 18 is on its way. Can't wait for it

The Double Oaked is always one of my go to pours. Wild Turkey 101 is also solid!

I love the John J. Bowman so much that we have a decanter that I bought at the distillery dedicated to it and it's been a staple on our bar for years.    It's a very nice, well-balanced whiskey.   A few years ago they had a bottle shortage at the distillery and it was briefly unavailable.   We were down to the last couple of pours when it became available again.  Since then, I always make sure to have a spare.   At $62.00 I over paid a little, (MSRP is $56.99), but I don't care.   I was also fortunate enough to snag a barrel pick last year, which is exceedingly rare for this whiskey.   Truth be told, while the pick is spectacular, it isn't a whole lot better than the bottles that I've bought elsewhere...

I bought a bottle of Rebel Cask Strength over the weekend. Got it as a heavily discounted price. I was pleasantly surprised by it, but opted for it based on the review by Peter over at Whiskey is a Journey. I like his reviews. I find them to align closely to my views, tastes, etc.

These red labels still haven't made it to my state yet.  No idea what the hold up is.  Every store owner I've asked give me the same response.  "Four Roses single barrel changed to a brown label, not red."

 

Had to venture to Louisiana to find it, and only found two of the three there so not sure if I'll ever find the one I'm missing...
