Ruby K Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 To start building my bunker, I found a ORVW 15 and the Weller 10 year. Tried to follow the sagely advice of Chuck, but after the drive to LeNell, found out she was out of the Weller 12 or the Elmer T Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoner Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I picked up an Old Charter 10 this week... I've never ever seen an OC 12 in Chicagoland.If you'd like a bottle, perhaps even a Louisville bottle, PM me. I think I can hook you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anacostiakat Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I purchased a bottle of Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon today. Not sure when I will crack it. Probably sometime next week. I have never had it before so I am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalBoozer Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 2 Pappy VW 15's and 2 more '06 Staggs. Seems like the 15 has dried up for a while so i was glad to find a store still carrying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Found some Old Hickory. This looks to be the last of the line. Bottle stamped '83 with the label "Bottled in Owensboro". Only 80 proof but if it shows well, I'll probably pick up the other couple of bottles on the shelf.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACDetroit Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Made a late night run last night and picked up a bottle of WT American Spirit, and one more bottle of Thomas Handy. Have not tried either bottle yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBOmarc Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 A little peach...Eagle Rare 101. I had given up. It showed up at the liquor store that I found the last bottle. I have read that this is available many places around the country, it is extremely rare in these parts. It also helps that it cost $9.99...I ran!

Phischy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have never seen ER 101 in San Diego. I wonder if Flash Puppy snagged it all before I started hunting.Are the WT new bottlings out yet? I've yet to see them either as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hot and humid today in the Mitten.So I wanted something I could make a Bourbon Mist out of.I picked up a bottle of Evan Williams. Heaven Hill's flagship label. Michigan has high alcohol taxes and it comes in at under twelve bucks for a 750 ml.It is just right for what I wanted, leatherey oak with that Heaven Hill minty after taste. The mint, BTW reminds me of Dickel Single Barrel.I think Evan Williams is the most over-looked bourbon by my fellow SB.com members.It is far and above Jim Beam and distilled by a real Beam.

mgilbertva Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm not sure how overlooked it is. I've mentioned it numerous times and read many posts on EWSB. Very well thought of here, and one of my favorites, especially given the price.If I was going to pick an overlooked bourbon, I'd say it's EWSB's cousin, Henry McKenna SB. Another vintage bourbon, outstanding quality, a BIB to boot, but not nearly as much discussion of this excellent pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTower Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 My wife got me a Four Roses platinum/super premium for Christmas (yeah she's organized!) and it arrived today (only took 3 days from Japan!). I was shocked to find the roses on the bottle are plastic.:bigeyes::shocked: I figured they would be pewter or some kind of metal. So how about that. Pretty bottle though...Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I also made a trade and ended up with a bottle of WT Tribute, and a 2001 WTKS.Tony,You da man!A Tribute and a '01 KS? Damn!I'm sure it made your day, heck it would have made my decade.I was down South this spring and I left sitting on a Mississippi store self, several bottles of Tribute at only $75.00 each.I really can't belive it myself.
