Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well @Chisox I came across a bottle today and for $30 no way I was passing it up. Can't wait to try it for myself.[quoted image]
congrats and YUM!
I can't remember the last time I saw a bottle on the shelf!

Funny you say you haven't seen it on the Shelf I didn't either. Just goes to show you should always ask the clerk because all I did was ask if they had any other kinds of Weller besides the one that was on the shelf and she came back up with that 1 bottle. Oddly enough the 12-year was $29.99 and the regular green label was $31.95. Try to go figure that one out

That's the new "normal" here in CT.
Special Reserve is $35.99 retail (from $18.99 just last year)
Antique is now $55.99 (from $24.99 last year)
And strangely, the retail on the 12, is $29.99, the same as it was last year. Of course, you will never see them on a shelf at this price, or at all, but that's the msrp here...
Congrats on the unicorn!

Surprising you found it at that price. My guy told me Weller raised all of their prices across the board.
Great score though-congrats!
Quoted from TKDalumni:$30?? Wow, great find!!! Amazing stuff.

Shit like this never happens to me so i'm stoked. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then I guess 
While I was in Idaho last fall I tried a local Seven Devils Bourbon. I really enjoyed it.
Now that I live in Colorado, my new found favorite is The Axe and the Oak Bourbon that is made down in Colorado Springs. It has quickly become a constant go to.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Currently waiting to see what is released today.[quoted image]
Holy crap all those guys are there waiting for the bourbon delivery?

Willing to pay a reasonable mark up and your shipping expenses.

I put my name on a list for it back in September but have never gotten a call that it ever came in.

It was just released in PA online today. Sold out in 4 minutes and the site would never load for me.

Had some Sazerac but I was too far back in the line. Never had it but heard good things. I did grab a bottle of Burning Chair for my wife.
Quoted from Green-Machine:Currently waiting to see what is released today.
That's crazy!! What's next, ticket sales?
Quoted from Green-Machine:The area I live in has this at every liquor store on delivery day. We aren’t getting much.
You need to start making good friends with the local store owners it sounds like.

Birthday? One of my stops had it for $500 a few weeks back. Too rich for my blood but if you’re interested I can run out tonight and check if he’s still got it.

My guy got 2 bottles total,never called me. Oh well. Hunting season will be over soon,bourbon hunting that is. Did okay this year but still disappointed.
Booker’s has been pretty good this year,3 out of 4 are good.

My good friend is a primary investor in Clyde May’s. He’s got it all over his house. What’s the general consensus on the brand?

Sweet scoop! Let me know what you think.
PinDeLaPin motivated me, so I stopped by a random shop (more wine) and started talking with the owner and what do ya know?!! These two were hiding on the shelves! Look at that dust on the 1792 haha.

Sorry, just saw this.
Thx for the offer. $500 is too much.
$300 I would spend.

Those are 2 great finds. 1792 barrel proof is some really solid stuff. Nice score!

I have 6 or so Bookers that I am looking to get rid of. I believe it's 17-4, 18-1, 18-4, 19-1, 19-2, 19-3.
Where is everyone finding these Weller Full Proof picks? I haven't even seen the normal listing available around me.

I know a store owner who bought a barrel thats the only way I scored a bottle. Trust me its not cheap.
Quoted from embryonjohn:There’s a bourbon tasting tonight in my town. What’s the one bottle I should be walking home with?[quoted image]
Imo the only decent one of those is the widow jane 10yr.
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Ok I know this isn't nearly as impressive a collection of Weller as some of you

Man that is pretty. Open and few and do a side by side tasting
I shipped out my Secret Santa to some lucky person a few hours ago. Do you know how hard it is to find handles of Fighting Cock, 10 High, and Bowman's? I sent plastic bottles, so no need to worry about breakage 
All seriousness, I hope the recipient enjoys!

Thanks for the Very Old Barton’s

Damn how did you score that and stay around the $50 limit?

I have major skills!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Ok I know this isn't nearly as impressive a collection of Weller as some of you but I sure like to stare at it. Really need to score a couple more bottles of Antique but haven't seen it in bout a month.[quoted image]
I love that Falstaff clock!
Quoted from beergut666:I love that Falstaff clock!
Yeah thanks I have a bunch of old Falstaff stuff. I feel like if your from St louis you have to have a bunch of that stuff around your bar since they used to have a big brewery here.
PinDeLaPin that collection of Weller is sick man, can't see or touch the stuff in my neck of the woods. Just finished a 16 hour shift and ready to finish this bottle of tasty rye though so no complaints...
