Official Thursday Night Whiskey Thread

I feel like you can't start a Thursday night tradition with only 1.5 hours of Thursday. I need more lead time to drink whiskey.
 
Just open a 200 yr anniversary edition of Jim Beam. Had it since 96.
Not too shabby - have 4 more (unless family borrowed them from lake cabin basement!)
Will find out in a couple weeks.
 
If you are ever in the Chicago area, i live in Schaumburg and can get it for a reasonable price in most of the big box liquor stores here. armanetis always has most of their offerings. And it’s not even on the top shelf.
I tried to DM you but I am restricted. Please DM me, I am extremely interested and appreciative of your information. I travel to Chicago 2 or 3x a yr for work.

TIA!!!
 
I would love find an affordable 10yr michter’s some day.

My current bar display is of these four bottles (picture file size is too large to upload) that I rotate every 4 months or so. I’ll soon update with the stave display of Blanton’s toppers.
I've heard the 2023 version of Michter’s 10yr Bourbon is fantastic!
 
Be interested to hear thoughts on tasting notes for the Old Fitz 11 year. The 19 year is too oaky for my liking, the 17 year is just fantastic but haven't had the 11.
Will report back. I was honestly hoping for the 17yr, but traded a sample of Stagg Jr store pick single barrel for the OF11 and KC18 instead.

So far tonight:
Yellowstone 2021 Limited Edition
Yellowstone single barrel pick
Blanton's
Rare Character single barrel pick

#NeatOrNothing
 
Big win for me yesterday was buying a bottle of Blanton’s and getting the letter B, resulting in me having all the letters finally. (Extra special b/c it was the annual KS Select Single Barrel)
Where did you find it? No matter where or when I go around town I just can't locate it anymore. Similar with Eagle Rare, fortunately I have a 1.75 of Weller to keep me moving!

No bourbon for me last night, but tonight I've enjoyed a glass of Eagle Rare and a glass of Elijah Craig Rye which is quite good for the price (in my opinion of course).

Cheers!!!

If you search for it there, the state lists all recent deliveries of every bottle (not seeing it on my phone, but desktop version includes exact date each delivery was made).

That doesn't necessarily mean the store will have them - went to a Casey's that got a delivery the day prior, and the store clerk straight up told me his son came in and bought all 6 an hour after they arrived.. gee, thanks. Other stores will hold them to save for future raffles. Kind of fun to hunt, but wish they were at least a LITTLE more findable.

My BIL found a couple at a CR gas station, but we had to pay $90/each for them. Got one just to have it, but wouldn't pay over $70 next time.

Thanks for the info. I'm in KC area so will have to try to find similar pages down this way.

Another thing that happens, is that the product is basically appropriated to their loyal customers. Some never see the shelf and certain customers are given first shot (at least at some liquor stores, Casey's probably doesn't care). Guessing the clerks son is trying to scalp several of the bottles to get himself a free one. I don't drink enough to be a loyal customer of a liquor store.
