I've got two open bottles of bourbon right now (Conecuh Ridge and Knob Creek single barrel), so I don't want to open the barrel strength Four Roses yet.

It's hard for me to think of McScrooges as on the high price, for no other reason than they are significantly lower than Alabama prices! I'm not disputing your assessment AT ALL! It's just the relative difference that makes it seem cheap to me!! I generally check out Thunder Road (a block from my wife's hotel) for competitiveness. But they have more wine, less beer and liquor than McScrooges.

As to Nashville, I've got a sister that works part time at a store near Lebanon. That gets me a 25% discount, but she is limited on how much she can buy at that discount, so I only tap that source a couple times a year, and then, usually for the higher priced goodies!

Found this tucked away in a locked case in the corner of a shop covered in dust. I never even saw it, the gf pointed it out to me knowing i like the pappy stuffs and she had never seen one of these. I think there was a whopping 45 seconds from the time I saw it until the time i paid for it. I still get butterflies thinking i finally got one, and at MSRP.







And last with my signed copy of the book.

AMAZING!!! I have been considering one at Ebay prices, so to find one at MSRP must be a dream come true. Congrats on the great find.

Bourbon FTW!!! I like bourbon overall in general, but my favorite would have to be Blanton's. A good Maker's Mark is a classic go-to and then when i'm feeling cheap, Evan Williams green or black.... hahaha

I'm working my way through a bottle of Conecuh Creek Bourbon. Have a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel, Barrel Strength that is pulling hard at me, wanting to be cracked open! Must resist.

Great thread. I just dusted off a bottle of Blantons single barrel. Very enjoyable. Like the knob creek single barrel. Black maple hill was also good. Drooling over the pics of the old Rip Van Winkle 23 yrs!!!

I assume by "blend", you meant "recipe". This one is QESQ (20% Rye mashbill/floral yeast. Bottled 10/15/2010. The shop is McScrooge's, in the south part of Knoxville. Great selection of bourbons. BUT... Even better selection of Scotch (for those so inclined!)

Bought some new bourbons

Old Charter - very light but smooth and at $9.99 the price is right

Breckenridge - a little hot but really good, glad I picked it up

I've got several options tomorrow at Knoxville store. I noticed on my recon run yesterday that they have Clear Creek. However, they want $33.95 for a 750 ml bottle! Way more than Peter is able to get this for! They have Old Forester Birthday Bourbon for about the same price. Several nicer other brands that are single barrel for $49 and $59.

Will have to make some hard choices tomorrow (on way back to Bama). But, WILL be leaving with at least two bottles of something (one each of two different bourbons)

Does anyone know where I can get a bottle of Parkers Heritage Golden Anniversary? I can only find it one place online and their price is a little high.
