dcb Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 local shop got six more '07 Staggs so I picked one up and I like this release a little better than last year's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F399SF Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 My local ABC amazingly had two bottles of 2007 Stagg in the special order case, so I snatched those babies up, bringing my total to three now. I also got a Wild Turkey Rye. My only previous rye experience was with Jim Beam and I didn't like that too much, but this is a great change of pace. Kinda like 101 on steroids.

TNbourbon Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Puchased a replacement Pappy 20 today, the only no-questions-asked Stitzel-Weller still on shelves. Price was $99.99 and, after a courtesty discount -- which essentially offsets sales tax here -- I wound up paying $98.31 or so. It's simply not worth driving all over the countryside here to find a nominally lower price. This one was less than a mile from home.Also picked up a 2000 LBV Osborne Port gift set for $17.99 before discount, from which the glasses make outstanding bourbon tasters -- and the Port's not bad, too.

It's reserve #2 in the bunker. Wonder if I should get more. It's supposed to be around in its current form until 2012, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTower Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yesterday I met up with a few JD collecting mates for a few drinks and swaps etc. I came home with a 1st gen and 2nd Gen George Dickel Barrel Select, both bottles signed by Jennings D. Backus and current master distiller John R. Lunn I keep trying to tell these guys there's some stuff to be drunk in Tennessee! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macon Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Today, I received my order for two bottles of Pappy Lot B and one bottle of Rock Hill Farms. One of the bottles of Pappy is for my brother-in-laws birthday next month. Opened the other bottle of Pappy and had a couple of pours tonight. Very good. I think I like the 12 year better than the 15 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburlowski Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Went to replace a recently finished PVW 15. To my horror, the shelf space at The Party Source usually devoted to PVW was filled with something else. When I inquired, I was told that PVW was on "extreme allocation" and that they were able to get only 2 or 3 bottles of each expression with each shipment. So I stopped by another, smaller store on the way home and bought the last three that they had on the shelf. Don't want to be caught unable to get my Pappy "fix".Also picked up a EC12 (gonna give it another try) and a Weller 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
