Carry around, in their wallet, a list of BTAC years/proofs for GTS, WLW, and Handy? I also have one for my various Willett bottlings with barrel numbers and proofs.

Anyone else?

No, I try and do it from memory. :skep: Fat chance. :slappin:

But, I do have a couple of phone numbers programmed into my cell phone.:cool: Joe

That's why I have a blackberry, between the memo pad on it, internet, and numbers of SB folks I don't need the wallet lists!

i text messaged a list to myself, and then locked it so it wouldn't delete when I cleared my texts. I'll admit it...

I'm more of a buy now, research later kind of guy. You can't go wrong, so why waste the effort? If it's recent, I'll remember the proof. If it's an older one, I won't.

I actually do have a card in my wallet with all the WLW and GTS proofs in it along with Saz 18 and ER 17 years to look for. My life isn't complex enough yet to warrant buying myself a fancy phone.

:bowdown:I wish I had this last week when the bartender looked at me like I was crazy when I asked what year the WLW they were serving was.:lol:

I have a list of dusties provided by Emerald and Tony that I carry around. Now I have BB which has direct access to this site as well as numbers programmed in so I can send pictures of "finds" before I pull the trigger.

Yep.....but the problem I have is either the list keeps getting lost when I take it out while shopping, or, my wife finds it in the wallet and continues to put it in the garbage. Either way, I don't ever seem to have it at the most critical times and have to go back in here to create a new one.

No I don't, cuz I live in MI and the Rain Vodka Company doesn't send that stuff up here.

I'm glad that I am not the only one. It would be nice if the budget would allow me to grab every bottle that I see but I am not that fortunate. I am looking to fill some holes in the collection so I prefer to get ones that I don't have already before buying multiples of what I have sitting at home and my wallet list helps me keep that straight. No way I could remember what proof came from what year off of the top of my head. Around here bottles from years past tend to pop up here and there at random times. Sometimes that's good but not so much when I am thinking that I am getting a more current one. The list also helps when arguing with store employees who don't think that you know what you are talking about. I have gotten some strange looks at times though - "You really keep a list of these in your wallet?". I keep it in a special section so that I don't lose it.
According to most of my friends and the girl that laughed at me at the Sprint store, I apparently have one of the oldest cell phones on the planet. I am keeping it now just out of spite so I won't have any fancy high-tech way to keep my list any time soon either.

All I have in my wallet is a card with my home address on it... because, well you know.

I actually have in my wallet a list of all of the mashbills that Four Roses makes. I now have 8 out of the 10 in single barrel form and am eagerly awaiting the release of the other 2!

I to have 8 of the 10 4R recipes.
Al Young of 4R said the OBSF and OESF will not be ready to be bottled until July.
I assume those are the 2 you are missing also.

Is that posted anywhere already? With the codes? I've searched the archives and either it's not posted or I'm just not constructing my search correctly.

I'll start a new thread here in the "Premium Bourbons/Specialty Bottlings" section.
We're getting off topic.
Give me a little time, I gotta dig up the info.
