My black Friday haul: ECBP C924 Balcones Bottled in Bond Rye Weller 12 for fair price. Stoked!!!

[@denniswheeler4872]

Thanks for your Cedar Ridge plug. I live in Cedar Rapids and we love that distillery and their products.

[@WhiskeyFan]

Really enjoyed the A Overholt , enjoy 🥃

[@xiamengbaby]

@WhiskeyFan i just picked one up today, too.

[@Nole1992]

Picked up 2 bottles of the Cedar Ridge American Single Malt for $19 each Hard to pass up 2 bottles for under $40. Also picked up Short Barrel Bees Knees IV store pick.

[@sweetsinnndy5201]

Binny's is great, they have some great sales, you need to hit Woodman's, everything there is 3 to 10 dollars cheaper normally. For example, I found WT Rare Breed for $42. The WT101 Rye is very good.

[@xiamengbaby]

Nice. I have to get out there. The closest woodman's to me is in Bloomingdale, I think, and I'm in Downers Grove.

[@mauriciopast]

Nice haul! Not for Black Friday, but I just also picked up a 1873 (going to try Julie’s recipe) Larceny C924, rare breed rye, and finally got redwood empire rocket top and John J Bowman single barrel, two bottles I’ve been looking for all year.

[@durzagon88]

You all should have grabbed that old overholt 11 yesr cask strength.stayed with family but grabbed sat and sunday blantons straoght from the barrel, stagg 22b, michters 10 year, and a joseph magnus special release 4.

[@kathyhughey7350]

Can’t wait to hear how you like that A. Overholt. It’s a different profile than the standard Overholt. Cheers

[@DiegoG.whiskey]

I picked up a middle west dark pumpernickel rye I ran out so I got a refill 😜

[@thomasanderson2870]

Old Overholt just sitting there 🫣, been looking for this for awhile 😢

[@877-MASH-NOW]

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

Awesome haul! I live farther west in Belvidere, IL. Too cold to stand in line anywhere, so I waited until 10:30 and went to the Rockford Woodman’s and got a Weller 12 Year for $44. Picked up an Old Forester SB BS Rye yesterday at the Rockford Binny’s for $90. They had the Old Forester SB BS Bourbon today, but I passed since I have a bunch of them already. 🥃

[@c.j.miller2665]

I definitely want to know how that cedar ridge is. I didn't like their normal stuff, but that finishing sounds delicious. Cheers!

[@markwanner3633]

Nice haul! I’ve never seen ET Lee in the wild, but I just stumbled on Eagle Rare 10 for $38. I’d had my first pour in forever at a bar a few days prior and was reminded how good it is. To see a bottle on a shelf (for SRP!) right after was kind of crazy.

[@xiamengbaby]

I hope you got your 15% off at Binny's!

[@TheBourbonVan]

You know it

[@GOTAisMe]

Remus Repeal is back! Best since V. I got mine for $100 and I'm going to have to grab a backup even at that price. Enjoy it! I'm also very jealous hearing about that Cedar Ridge. You have to review it later on. Sounds amazing

[@toddtipton2857]

Black Wanut bitters is amazing

[@johnshenk-vm2ic]

The Remus is $119.99 here in Virginia, which is state controlled, mainly at MSRP. It's sooooo good.

[@dougtucker1267]

Randomly grabbed an Evan Williams single barrel today (2016), eight years old, just $32.99. Classic Heaven Hill profile and very flavorful...seems underappreciated and I think it's because of the proof at 86.6, just not what people are looking for these days. Which is fine, more for me!

[@TheBourbonVan]

Great find!

[@mkramme]

Julie, can you share your favorite way to make your favorite "Old Fashioned"

[@TheBourbonVan]

Of course! Use the 2-2-1 method. 2oz bourbon, 2 shakes of black walnut bitters, 1 bar spoon of maple syrup. Stir over a big ice cube in a rocks glass and enjoy!

[@mkramme]

@@TheBourbonVan Thanks, tomorrows drink for sure!

[@Robert.Sheard]

I spent $10 whole dollars on Amazon today. Did I do my part for the economy?

[@TheBourbonVan]

USA! USA!
