Went grocery shopping Sunday. As I do EVERY time I shop, I swung through the booze section, and what was staring at me in the face looking like a little shelter pony that needed a good home. Well, you bring it home. I don't fawn or it, but when it's there...I get it.

A Thursday through Sunday trip to the Motherland
 If I would have went back to Heaven Hill on Saturday instead of Buffalo Trace, there would have been 2 bottles of Old Fitzgerald 16yr added to this picture  . BT had Weller SR on Saturday (which I didn't want or buy) and only walked out with Rootbeer. Attached File |

That Select Stock is no BS probably the best bourbon of 2021, and one of the best I have ever had.

I snagged it online on their IG/FB page when it was for sale. It was like 75 I think. Based on the pic above, it looks like it was at the gift shop too. Ive been lucky there, we got WHH 16 (3 bottles), Old Fitz 16, Larceny BP, and now this bottle. |

It’s odd that they were completely out and never again getting the red Fitz 16 that was available last weekend. Maybe I’ll get lucky next month when I trek back to Bardstown. I missed Elijah 23 by minutes last fall waiting on a wingman to confirm he was in. |

(They had Weller Special Reserve that day, and I don't care for WSR). Went back to Buffalo Trace on Sunday, and it was EHT Small Batch, which is what I was hoping for.

I've been scouring the Chicago area looking for E H Taylor SmB to no avail. I found one place that had 3 btls at $120 each. NFW
Saw I other btl at $80. I did find some Woodford DO for $48. I'll probably have to settle for that this time around. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Libertas: You've got some harder to find bottles in your collection.. Do you have a hook-up, or just lucky on the hunt. I thought I heard it mentioned earlier that AL is a control state?? Mostly luck. Most of the BT products are older acquisitions from earlier "allocated days" and cruising. We used to get Blantons and the like at Costco, locally, but its been a year or two. Surprisingly, AL seems to be opening up a bit on allocated wares, evidenced by the two in this photo. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Libertas: Allocation is so weird. I was in a Liquor Store in KY last weekend, and they had that FAE01 on the shelf...then around the corner, they had it stacked up about 5 cases high.. all for $64.99. Was at the Makers giftshop, and they has the 2019, 2020 & 2021 all there for the same price. I'm thinking they have a methed up schizophrenic locked in a closet somewhere that sets the schedule. |

The 2020 was ok but the 2021 FAE-01 is pretty good, working on a bottle right now. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Libertas: Man, I hunted one day for atleast 6 hours when it was first coming out and finally got a bottle...I was disappointed. I guess maybe it was because I was used to drinking Single Barrel. I't sat for a bit, maybe the neck pour wasn't the greatest. I need to revisit it, and my McKenna Bib that neither I or my buddy cared for. Never toss a bottle. Tastes change. I've also liked quite a few after they've been open awhile. Makes for cluttered shelves, though.
