Freaking love those things, especially an OBSQ recipe. However, I have not seen any in my area for years, and when I look at FR website it makes no mention of their "private selection" program. Google yielded no useful answers to my main question: Are they still doing the private select program? Has anyone here recently bought or seen any store pick Single Barrels? I'd be disappointed if they no longer offered them.

Yes the private select is still running .  We’ve had about 5 barrels drop so far this year in MN from various stores.  But they sell out extremely fast and the price is nearing 80ish retail.  We will only see 10 barrels in MN in 2020.

Shit, I don't know about $80 bucks. $60 is just fine which is what I usually see them for. Hopefully when they come they don't jack up prices .

But thanks for letting me know. I got scared there for a moment!

Here are two I bought recently, went back a couple days later and bought another one. Another local store has a barrel incoming next week. They go fast when they hit the store, so it takes luck or having an inside source

Good luck, it is some of the best bourbon out there.

Lucky duck! Yeah, I ask the guys at the 2 places that I know get store picks and they always give me the "oh, I don't man. You're just going to have to keep coming back and see" bit. Right, like you don't know or know someone who does.....

Finally got an answer from Binny's Beverage Depot: they are expecting to drop new barrels in June. And now I'm giddy with excitement!!!

Yes, got two of them. Keeping one unopened for a future special occasion, one of the best bottles I've had.

I haven’t had that one, but I’ve had the same run from Binnys, Pinkies and Batch 7.  

I have “Marilyn” obsf and that one is pretty good.  Big fan of the F in general.

The OESO is called "Elena", got two of them. The other one is a OBSQ called "Lavanya".

Found one! $75 bucks is really pushing it though. I hope they're not playing the Booker's game of "keep raising the price until no one buys it." OESV is not the rexipe I wanted, but I've never tried an OE recipe and it was all they had. 10 years 3 months old, jan 7, 2010 - April 16, 2020. 58.7% / 117.4 proof. Now to hit a different store and see if they have others!

Nice!

I'm headed up your way on Friday, will stop at the Binnys at 355 and Butterfield. Probably be gone by then but will check anyways.

That one is a cruise from me. I was told they're supposed to be dropping a few barrels this month so who knows, you might find a different batch!

Thanks @CastleBravo91 , was able to get one this afternoon. Had to ask for it and they were nice enough to get me one out of the back.

Pretty rare in my area but was lucky enough to snag a couple OBSV, OESV, and OESK from different locations. High rye mashbills are definitely my favorites it seems.

Two more for the stash. Thanks again to @CastleBravo91 for the tip on the Binnys pick, I owe you one now....will see if I can snag you a Crown pick next time. They just released two barrels for sale but I was a week late on making the rounds and was only able to get one bottle.

Really? I’m nearly positive I saw them for under $60 today. I may have to go back and snag a couple.

Do it. Last time I saw them at $60 was at least 5-6 years ago. Make sure it's actually a store pick. There are some bogus places around me selling the regular ole Single Barrel for $60 when it should be $40. $75 is the norm around here forcthe store picks.

You may be seeing the regular single barrels at that price. These are single barrel barre strengths and store picks which bumps the price

Edit: OBSV variants are still my favorite ones to date. Need to try the OBSO and OESO though

I went back and checked yesterday. The regular single barrel was right around $40. Small Batch was $30ish and Small Batch Select was just under $60. I didn’t see any store pick.

I’m new to bourbon and I’m still trying to get my bourbon eye calibrated. Normally my price tops out at about $30/bottle for something I’m going to sip but I want to have a good idea of what I’m looking at in case I stumble across a good deal someday.
