So we had a great tasting saturday night and a lot of fun. Unfortunately @bowz, Chisox and
SirScott weren't able to attend. You 3 taste those whenever you feel like it and just post up on here your thoughts on each number. After these reviews are posted I will then post up what you drank and the proof of each.
Quoted from TKDalumni:This Wyoming Whiskey private barrel is 116.52 proof. Super smooth and tons of caramel.

Sounds tasty. I have seen that one but have never bought it but never have seen a store pick.

It was indeed a great tasting. Thanks for sharing, Bill!

Way better than any of the bozos that run Chisox and my state.

One of my neighbors has had a sign out like this for the last couple months.

Damn i've been wanting that Schenk's. U lucky dog u! Nice score
Has anyone seen the single barrel or tried the single barrel Weller? I haven't seen it anywhere and no idea the price point on it or if it is any different.

My local store got three bottles, one for each of their locations. They are going into their end of year lottery, picks happen around the 20th of December. The manager there said price is $60.

Got one, but haven't tried it yet. Paid $120....Figured I'd never see it again.

U need to crack that open and try it. You can let me know if it's worth pursuing.

Hope you survive, my girl just got it and had to show today and got picked out of 27 people right in the middle of our bathroom remodel that started today, yes I had a few bourbons to start demolition and her being picked
Quoted from Green-Machine:Now this is a big bottle!

I WANT ONE!!!!
Sorry for yelling, but that is literally the most exciting thing I've seen this week.

Holy crap Aaron! I've never seen the antique in a 1.75 bottle. Great score 
Quoted from Green-Machine:Thanks. I’m going to try and find more if possible
Great idea! I know somebody who would love to have one of those

I hear you there. Hell that is some true bourbon porn! I would bring that bottle to bed with me at night and cuddle up next to it it's so sexy

I was just telling my wife that when I get off of work today I was going to curl up with my Weller

Haha, the "lost" 1.75's of OWA that are showing up in Ohio have been causing an uproar in the secondary groups...
BT discontinued OWA in handles back in '18; if you look at the laser code it will bee xxx18xxx...; apparently the state of OH, which is a control state, just released a whole bunch that they had been sitting on for 2 years...but, at a "new, inflated price". Considering they purchased them at the old wholesale price, and the new retail price is double, a lot of people are saying the state is playing dirty and profiting off the demand, just like the secondary market...Smart on them and for the taxpayers I guess, because they just doubled their money on an investment in less than two years, haha.
Cheers folks!

I didn’t mind paying $300 for mine
Quoted from Green-Machine:I didn’t mind paying $300 for mine
That's a lot of handles of Old Crow you could have bought instead...
Quoted from DBLM:That's a lot of handles of Old Crow you could have bought instead...
Oh! $300 for three. It’s worse tasting than Old Crow but Man! the bottle is cool 
Quoted from Green-Machine:Oh! $300 for three. It’s worse tasting than Old Crow but Man! the bottle is cool
Total wine has handles of Old Crow for $17.99. So with your $300 you could buy....carry the 2...add the 1...divide by pi....16.67 bottles, which is 28 litters, which is 7.39 gallons of Old Crow. Sounds like a steal to me!
Quoted from Green-Machine:I didn’t mind paying $300 for mine
Wait. What?
The old wholesale price for those(at least in CT, which is a non control state, meaning the liquor stores are privately owned, and must buy their inventory from wholesalers (also privately owned, but the state sets the MINIMUM wholesale price and the MINIMUM retail price...) was $35, and retailers would put them on the shelf for $41 (or more); it was my understanding, in control states (the state owns the wholesale warehouses and often times the retail outlets), the state sells EVERYTHING for suggested retail pricing...
Sans the fact that I probably have a 20 year supply of OLD label 107 at the rate I drink it, I couldn't bring myself to pay that for a magnum. Damn dude. But if you were trying to complete a set or you just REALLY wanted it...
This whole market is just insane now. I'm really beginning to consider cashing out my entire collection and paying my rental house off. It's basically too valuable for me to just convert it to pee it at this point. Maker's Mark Cask Strength is cheap and plentiful, and I like it just as much as anything put out by BT (and I'm a BT fanboy!).
Either way, if it makes you happy and you enjoy it, cheers!
Quoted from DBLM:I am pretty sure green-machine was joking... Right, Aaron?
I doubt he was kidding. A regular 750 ml bottle has gone up the MSRP now is $49.99.
Obviously two 750ml bottles is less than a 1.75 so even if it was $100 you're still getting a deal because you're getting more in the 1.75 bottle

Joking about it being 300/bottle

Yes, they are charging $99 for a 1.75 bottle of Weller Antique

Actually no one cares what your hoarding ass has or paid. Take your wordy ass somewhere else.
Cheers and enjoy!
Well that escalated quickly...
When a family member decides to close a long held liquor store 11 years ago (before the bourbon boom we are now in) because of changes to the liquor laws within the state you do business in, you tend to acquire things that literally would have been required to be poured out and the empties sent back to the wholesaler...
You can ask many in this very thread; I've shared tons of rare bourbons and given bottles away as gifts at numerous shows, as well as sent out samples to complete strangers. I customarily bring a bottle of GTS or Lot B to Pinburgh to share with friends and strangers alike in my groupings.
My apologies if I offended you friend.

^^^^^^^^
This statement by you I find rude. Yes, you can say what you want. I don’t collect so to me this sounds as if your calling me dumb for paying that price. I am new to bourbon and wasn’t buying years ago when it was cheaper. Sorry I missed the train and got the caboose. I buy to drink. If I buy extra it’s to share with ones who can’t get it. It’s great you share your stuff, that’s nice of you.
Thanks for the apology
