jbaker Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Last night's purchase was Old Ezra 7 yr 101, a dusty Ancient Ancient Age 10 star, and a liter or Henry McKenna. I paid less than $15 for each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phischy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Last night I did a little hunting and found a BTAC ER from 2003! The lettering on the year is a bit hard to read, so it's either '03 or '05. My buddy who works in a bank swears it's an '03. But I'll post a pic for ya'll to judge. Either way, '05 or '03, it was still only 59 bucks!

spun_cookie Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Distilled in 1986 and bottles in 2003 (17 yrs). You are correct... it is 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phischy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice! Hard to imagine this has just been sitting there. Although it was on the shelf 2nd to the bottom. Next time I'm down in Chula Vista I may have to do some more hunting.Oh, and if anybody is looking for Baby Saz, it's all over Coronado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Picked up another WLW Special Reserve for the bunker for $13 given all the talk of possible shortages etc... I like this for travel or for anywhere I might want to leave the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgilbertva Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks to the generosity of a fellow sb'er, I extended my EWSB collection to 1988, an Old Charter 12yr 90pf, and a little 200ml of J.W. Dant BIB with a tax stamp.Thanks Dan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T47 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks to an SB member for passing it along, my Father-in-law in AZ was able to pick my up a Weller Centennial.He is a snow bird who lives in AZ from Oct through May. I think after walking into a Bevmo for the first time he will add that to his list of where to take visitors, he was really impressed. We don't have stores like that in WA., and he had never seen one in his short time in AZ.:toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rake Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 A trip to my favorite liquor store, Daveco, yielded the following:ER17 '06EC12OC12 (The Classic 90)PVW15They just received the "Hirsch Selection" 20yo, but at almost twice the price of Pappy 15 I don't see myself being tempted any time soon.

PhilsFan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Many thanks to Spun_Cookie, who through his excellent math skills convinced me that it would be much cheaper to buy a bottle of PVW23and split the cost with two friends, than to buy a shot at the place down the street. Per Spun's suggestion, I got the "B" version, Bottle # B4462.It was $199 for the bottle at Party Mart on Brownsboro Rd. Each of us got 250ml of PVW23 for a little over $66 apiece...that's less than $13.50 per 1.5oz pour, rather than $36 a pour at MM Tavern or $47 at The Brown.My boss, Don, one of those bourbon fans, insisted that I decant their portions in his office rather than the kitchen, so that Pappy smell would linger there! (In fact, Don spent the rest of the day breathing deeply through his nose like the folks in those Febreze commercials do)-Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilsFan Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 In the process of looking for ORVW 10/107 (doesn't seem to be any in Louisville right now, but Toddy's in Bardstown has it) I found VOB 100 BIB...at Our Place Liquors on Poplar Level Rd. Previously, the only VOB I had seen was the 86, so when I saw the 100 I picked one up.-Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felthove Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm on travel in La Jolla, CA and hit up a premium grocery store w/a nice selection of bourbons. I haven't been able to find any of the GTS in the Seattle area (home) but they had 3 2008's on the shelf at $59.99. I snagged two and left one for the next guy. I also picked up a Willet Single Barrel Estate Reserve for $49.99.I also bought some bubble wrap for the plane ride home since I cannot carry these home. Wish me luck in getting them back safely!

fishnbowljoe Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm on vacation in Florida. While out and about being a tourist, we stopped by a couple of liquor stores. Picked up a bottle of ORVW 10 90 proof at one place, and a bottle of WRFG at the other. Hope I can get them home without any problems. You know how those airline baggage handlers can be. I almost can't wait. I finally get to try a Van Winkle product. :grin: Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
