That bottle of OG114 I grabbed last week is about half empty already.
I blame the colder weather.

Should be interesting.
That sounds tasty!Quote:

Ever had the High West Midwinter's Night Dram? It's a finished rye that I love, but it's gotten impossible to find retail. It'd be nice if that 1792 was similar.Quote:

No, but their stuff has never failed to satisfy. Will have to hunt around and see if there's any to be had.
Luck. If you find it, stock up. It's Rendezvous rye finished in port barrels. FKNA awesome.Quote:

Fuck that indeed. Bourbon pricing is getting out of control, and pissing me off. See you in the rye aisle.Quote:

Agreed, the ECBP is great, but I haven't seen it on the shelves lately. If it pops up again I'll be sure to grab a few bottles. Bummed I didn't stock up last go around.
That's fucking insane for Bookers. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine bourbon but it sure as shit ain't $100 fine.
Been laying into the Woodford lately. Wife was back from business in Woodford Co. KY not too long ago and her friend at the horse park gave us a case - all in this year's Derby bottle design. :yourock: I can never have too much Woodford around. :D
Best pour for your bargain that I've seen lately (and really no surprise) is Eagle Rare. $30 for a great 10 year old Kentucky bourbon? Yes please. Show me another 10 y/o that drinks that well for that cheap. Funny though, Buffalo Trace must really be backlogged because I've noticed it's not on the shelves as much any more. Luckily I have a good honey hole.
I'll have to see of the local place has bookers for less. Around now Safeway usually does 30% off on all bourbons. There is one south of here on the way to Crystal that has a surprisingly good selection. I'm goning to be grabbing another bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel (IMO one the best values out there), and will see if they have some Bookers.
There is still some of the latest batch on the shelf where I am, usually at 49.99(Costco has it locally for 45).
Anyone tried the Knob Creek 2001 bottling? Local grocery store had two on the shelf for 129$. Was tempted, may go back today.
+1 on the Eagle Rare. The LLS seems to always have it, but runs short of Buffalo Trace sometimes.Quote:

1.75 of Eagle Rare for $50? Yes please.
Just so happens my brother in law is at Buffalo Trace today with some college buddies. Here's what the guide told him regarding the production and scarcity we're seeing:
"BT made 204,000 barrels in 1970 vs 17,000 in 1993 - that's total production, bottom of the barrel shit all the way up to Pappy. He said his drunk tour guide preached "patience" and said the scarcity should response itself in 3-4 years."

Sitting right next to the bluegill batch of Bookers(the second to last one of 2016) for 99.99. Fucking MSRP isn't supposed to increase until January.
Luckily I picked up another two bottles of the 2016-05 batch ar Costco for 42.00 each.
LLS did Pappy/AC auction on Saturday. Proceeds went to charity. I'm not sure what everything went for exactly, but I know the 23 fetched $2,200, William Larue Weller $600, and the Old Rip $375. I was half paying attention and half browsing around the store. I settled for EH Taylor on sale for $35 ;-)
Well played.Quote:

I just got two different barrel samples of Belle Meade, excited to try them tonight.
^I could get into trading samples.
Cracked a Midwinters Night Dram Act 4 Scene 2 last night. I've been excited to finally try it, and it's a wonderful sipper.
