fishnbowljoe Posted Monday at 09:10 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:10 PM Out and about yesterday. On sale for $37.99 with my Binny’s card. Got the peanuts for 1¢. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted Tuesday at 02:39 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:39 AM Glad to see bourbon is still reasonably priced in the future. Also, Binny’s is still around…for better or worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted Tuesday at 05:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:59 PM Some of you will remember me lamenting the loss of my local liquor store a few years back that was owned by a friend. Ever since then I have been shut out of any LE bourbon due to not having the energy to try to "build the relationship" with another store due to most of them selling at secondary prices. There is one small store I've been going to for staples and I appear to have crossed the threshold of being recognized as a regular because when I went in on Saturday the owner asked me if I had gotten the Old Fitzgerald 7r BIB yet. He was keeping them in back and retrieved one for me, green bag and all, and charged me MSRP. Perhaps my luck has turned. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are a lot of things I've never seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted yesterday at 03:52 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:52 PM I'm still trying not to buy, except to restock staples, or special bottles. This one falls in the "special bottles" category. I can't wait to try it! It's essentially single barrel Four Roses OESO at barrel proof and is 10.75 years old.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen one of these Bulleit SiBs around since before the pandemic. I only had one bottle but it was excellent. And definitely 4R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to stir the pot here, just commenting. I thought Four Rose stopped supplying distillate to Bulleit years ago. IIRC, they started getting their distillate elsewhere. Brown Forman perhaps?

Yup....they sure did According to my buddy, who owns the LS & does outstanding picks.. "There’s a LOT of speculation on where this is distilled but details below may help you all figure it out or at least make a very good educated guess. Important details below… - Bulleit bourbon - distilled in KY - 10.75 years old - 75% corn 21% rye 4% barley - uses the Bulleit “proprietary” #3 strawberry yeast strain. Think four roses fruity yeast.

FacePlant Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Picked up a jug of WT for $37.99. It was beside the $50 WT8. Can I join the “cheap bastard” club? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago One of my standards, VOB 90 proof had gone missing around me the last several months. The 80 proof, in nearly an identical label, had replaced it. Saw the 90 back on the shelf today, so picked up a family sized to quench a bone dry little-‘un. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Did a thing this morning. Sat in line for a couple hours for a private pick drop. At least I had Mrs. Clueby, the dog, and some friends for company. It was the damn tater bag that made me do it! I'm a sucker for those. You had to buy the Blue Note pick with the ER pick. They had 90 bottles at this store and there were about 87 people in line. Stopped by the grocery store on the way home to get some ribs for tomorrow and picked up the MM pick. I tried it a few weeks ago and it's a REALLY good barrel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
