What bourbon did you purchase this spring season of 2025?

[fosmith]

Wild Turkey 101 is regularly $29.99 at BevMo, or, as I like to call it, BevPayMo.  But it's currently one of the items included in their Buy One, Get One for $.05 sale.  So, I bought two for $30.04 or $15.02 each plus tax.  Not bad.  I've only had one of the "new bottle" release several years ago and liked it so I'm anxious to try it again given that I've heard mixed reviews.  If it's as good as I remember, I'll probably get four more at that price.

Is it hard to find for you?

 

The regular shelf bottles?

Not too hard.

 

This is a really good single barrel pick that the restaurant did.

They serve it in the bar, as well as sell bottles.

Since the wife and I enjoyed it so much, I bought a bottle.

Haven't tried it yet.

Took this one home today. I've heard good things about it. We'll see.

I just bought some last weekend and it's excellent.

That's a hell of a deal.

I really enjoy the Barrell offerings. Really good stuff and if you can find them on sale, even better. Let us know how you like it

$49.99 in Texas.  I haven't bought one but it is making the rounds on local tater bourbon social media.  I'll wait until it's available on store shelves because I'm sure it's very solid for that price. 

 

The barrels going into this are definitely not as well curated as the 8, 9 and 10-year Old Fitz BiB Decanter series (because the new 7 is more mass produced), but every one of the 8-10 year BiB decanter bottles that I've had have been stellar.   

 

Early feedback from reviews I've seen are that the new OFz 7 year is true to the OFz flavor profile and not similar to Larceny/Larceny BP.
