Picked up another 1.75L of Buffalo Trace on the way home:

Ever since you posted this every bottle of Buffalo Trace has disappeared from my two closest liquor stores. And I’ve seen it every time I went there before, and passed because it was always available.

Never pass this up! The store I got this from had 6 of these on the shelf, I grabbed 1 and left 5. The other stores I go to still have them on the shelf as well. Where are you located? I'm in DFW.

I live in a suburb of Pittsburgh. We have state-run liquor stores so there is very little consistency.  I realized there must have been a restock a short time ago because I saw Nikka coffee grain bottles at the bigger store this weekend, and they haven’t had that for a very long time.  Scotch prices are steadily climbing so I’m stocking up there first. But I looked for Buffalo Trace and it was all gone.

A friend brought this back for me from Ireland. I haven’t had it before.

Looking forward to these. I've tried the 2004 Foursquare before and it was insanely good.

Yeah, all of the bottlings from the Exceptional Cask Selection range seem to be highly praised. I think 'Premise' and 'Dominus' are the latest releases in the series. Worth looking out for ?

Not really anything new, but I'm finally getting organized after the move. My wife was tired of looking at 13 boxes full of liquor haha.

Cheers Ken, really good read. I'll have to do a side by side comparison of the 2004 and the 2005 sometime soon. I suspect both won't be too far off each other.

OFBB is still one of my favorite bottles. I thought it was much better in 2016 than just about anything out there. Even on the secondary market it is not priced too high in comparison to Antique Collection and others. cheers.

I have 2 bottles of 2018 that I got at MSRP. I wouldn't pay more than $100, it's good, but there are a lot of other bourbons on the shelf that are just as good.

Got a text from my local store owner that he had something special for me. Shopping at one store and establishing good relationships has paid off the past couple of years!
