What bourbon did you purchase today?

[TnSquire]

I bought a bottle of eagle rare 101.

I left ...

Old Granddad BIB from Dsp 14 with tax stamps

Old Forester BIB with the older label.

AA with the funny looking bottle that has the big AA on the front. Tax strips

Rebel YEll with the faux tax strip.

Stagg

ORVW 15yo

Family Reserve Rye

Sazerac 18yo rye

Old Weller 12 yo

Old weller 107 louisville

Old weller spec reserve louisville

Old weller 107 with a red velvet bag (louisville)

and a bunch other stuff that is escaping my mind right now.

I bought a bottle of eagle rare 101.

I left two bottles of Eagle Rare at 26.95 + tax on the shelf but I picked up a PVW 23 for the price of PVW 20.

This leads to at least two morale dilemmas. The first: should I lay my head on the pillow tonight know I got a great deal? Or should I say I know this is wrong and should tell the store owner that he is charging the wrong price? Second what is the proper occasion to open this find? It Tuesday night and I want to sample this? The Wolverines beats the Bucks in the Shoe? The daughter is bestowed her PhD, it's Thanksgiving and I have lots to be thankful for?

I need your guidance.

You better think of something other than the Wolverines beating the Bucks in the Shoe, because you're going to want to drink that whiskey long before that happens.

Go Bucks!

[CrispyCritter]

The Wolverines beats the Bucks in the Shoe?

How about the Chicago Bears shutting out the Green Bay Packers - the first time that Brett Favre has ever been shut out? :slappin:

Trying to stay marginally on-topic: my last bourbon buy was OGD BIB... good bourbon < $20 = great buy.

Chuck,

I'm not hopeful of this happening this year but you and I both know that it has happened before and this goes both ways.

Clearly Smith is a great college quarterback, but Ginn is not the Bucks best receiver, it's Gonzales. Ginn is good and gets all the pub, but Gonzales is the primary receiver.

Also I'm not thrilled with UM passing attack.

I'm in no hurry, another option (daughters PhD won't happen soon as she has 3 years of scholarship monies remaining).

[Joeluka]

I picked up a WT Rye, 3 WT RR101's and a Michter's US*1 Rye. The prices were hard to beat.

Oh, okay, if you want me to be reasonable on this subject, but where's the fun in that?

Gonzales is probably the better receiver whereas Ginn is probably the better all-around football player, primarily because of his speed.

Not too many years ago, under the previous OSU coaching regime, it went the "other way" more than a few consecutive years and people in Ann Arbor were starting to sneer (as only they can) that it really wasn't even a rivalry anymore. At least that has been put to rest.

(I actually have family and quite a few friends in Ann Arbor, even including a few in the UM Athletic Department, so this is all just good, clean fun.)

[TnSquire]

As a Tennessee fan the only thing I can say on this subject is if there was a way for them both to lose I would be all for it.:cool:

Chuck,

Don't get me wrong Ginn is a good football player for the exact reason you cited.

I know both the euphoria of victory (69 and 97 for example) and the pain of a tie or a loss ( 73, 75, 91, 95). The days of keep Cooper are over. my wife works for UM and we now have employee tickets. The person who sit directly behind me is a Buckeye and comes to all the games in his Scarlet and Gray while his wife is in Maize and Blue (I'll bet it fun in that household).

Tressel is a great coach I was told this when he was hired by a friend who played for his dad it has proven to be true.

We still don't really know how good the OSU defense is as I thought that UT offensive scheme was terrible. Time will tell.

An interesting bottle of Mccormack, 1977, owensboro.

[WhiskeyJack]

Picked me up a nice Sazerac 18 yr.old 2005 bottle just today. Right off the shelf settin' all by it's lonesome. Thought I was see'n things. A rare find in my neck of the woods. :grin:

[Barrel_Proof]

2006 Birthday Bourbon (and Kulsveen's 21yo and 23yo Vintage Ryes) in Louisville at 9:45 pm . . . the last stop on our 800 mile trip to the Festival! Sorry I missed the Gazebo tonight. See you all in a few hours!

[Ubertaster]

Just picked up a fall 1990 and a fall 1993 birthday bourbon. I also picked up 2 Van Winkle 12yo for the bunker.

[jburlowski]

Picked up a bottle of the new Four Roses small batch.

[SBOmarc]

EC 12, has been many months since my last taste. Looking forward to sipping from this one as I enjoyed the last bottle to the last drop.

[CrispyCritter]

I picked up a bottle of Jim Beam Black tonight. I didn't know where any proper liquor stores were near my hotel near Moline, IL, and wound up at a Jewel/Osco. Since I was already familiar with WT101, I thought I'd try something different, and JB Black was the something different. Good stuff! :drink:

There was not a whole lot going on in the bourbon aisle - and there was no way I'd try the "Origine" house brand after this thread. Worse, the Origine was more expensive than the JB Black, or even WT 101! :horseshit:

[barturtle]

Well I was out today to replenish my low end stock: VROHH, VOB 100 and AAA. That and several 6 packs of good beer to take back down south with me after the KBF.

[photogjunkie]

Was fortunate to find a dusty 1.75 liter of Old Fitzgerald BIB this weekend. One of my favorites and hard to locate around these parts.

[Nebraska]

Well I arrived home about 9pm last night and just finished unloading the last of my bottles a little while ago. It seemed like the back of the car should be bottoming out from all the bottles i brought home:lol: .

I filled several holes in my collection and will be able to try many new things.

AAA 10yo

VROHH

OHH BIB

VOB 80 6yo

VOB 100 6yo

Old Bardstown 10yo

Is this a stupid question, or did you put that in as a joke?

The "LSMFT" ? What is that?

I do remember from my childhood it standing for

Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco

[Barrel_Proof]

"LSMFT" = Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco

I'm with you on that one -- that's the only LSMFT in my memory!

Anyone remember this ad slogan?

"10, 2, and 4"

[OscarV]

There was one other, I remember from my young boyhood.

It goes like this;

Loose Strap Means Floppy T***y

this is an edit, after I saw the post,

I must say, this is embarrsing, remember it was when we were kids.
