Nice allocation drop at a Kroger competing against a new Publix store opening in Northern Kentucky, my brother and I placed pretty well in line. Missed out on Jack Daniels 12 year, but got the last Michters 10 year bourbon which is a favorite. Hard to choose, passed on Weller Single Barrel and Full Proof.

Nice score! I’m missing the EH four grain in my EH collection. I’ve never even seen it at a drop.

I’m not sure what you picked over the Weller SB and FP. Based off a single tasting of the SB, I’d rather have the EH Single. Of course, the Weller Full Proof is fantastic.

Three end caps, off the first I grabbed the Blanton's Straight From the Barrel, my brother got the EH Taylor Four Grain, there was JD 10 yr, King of Kentucky Small Batch 1, 2 and 3, EHT Barrel Proof and Straight Rye, Elmer T Lee, Weller Antique, Full Proof and Single Barrel. off the 2nd one grabbed the Michter's 10 yr, him the Star Hill. 3rd had ER, EHT SB and Blanton's SiB.
Of course most of my choices are based on my current inventory at home. I like to have at least 2, one for the shelf and a drinker. Happy to say after going to these Kroger drops six times I finally got a good spot.
 
I’ve got an international Blanton’s straight from the barrel, but just like you said, I haven’t opened it because I don’t have a second or will need a special occasion for it.

I must say, passing on those KoK small batches would have been impossible for me. I have tried #2, and it is amazing, very amazing. Tomorrow night a buddy will be sharing 1,2,&3 for a few of us to compare. Everyone has different tastes, but a couple buddies of mine with similar tastes to mine have compared the KoK small batch (not sure which batch) to one of the single barrel KoK releases (not sure which), and the small batch came out on top.

I’ve been trying to get a Michters 10 yr for a few years, and I’m still trying

Enjoy!

Huge drop statewide in Ohio today, not every state store involved but one close to home for me and my brother. I think this store had a minimum of 17 cases of Weller Full Proof, big draw was multiple cases of Weller CYPB and Single Barrel. Happy to get the Heaven Hill 22 yr and Jack Daniels 12 year.

Big congrats on this bottle, I'm not sure it'll be easy to find. Not like the 4 Grain craze over the past month at the distillery and locally.

I picked up a Four Grains last month but didn’t think I had a chance one of these!
Very excited to have it in the collection now…

@CZDiesel - Nice score on the Colonel T. Almost as nice as the Planet Ocean on your wrist. ;)

Thank you good sir! The Planent Ocean was also a nice score as you say as I picked it up “full kit” and in as new condition for $3200! Crazy!!!
 
Picked this up in the Narita Duty Free a couple of weeks ago. For once something was actually cheaper in the Duty Free than Total Wine.

You’re the 2nd person on this thread from Arkansas. I live in Benton.

Do you hunt out of state much?
