Where in God's name do you live such that you can just walk into a store in 2011 and grab a 2007 WLW!?!? That's SO unfair!
LA (hell, the entire west coast) never has amazing finds like this!
For the record, very well done, Sir. :)
I'd beg to differ...some of the best "dusty" finds posted here have come from the west coast and LA specificly...you're not looking hard enough as I know for a fact that there are plenty of "dusty" bottles sitting on the shelves of stores in the LA area.
I picked up a bottle of 2010 WLW yesterday...it was the last one that I know of in the area and I hadn't gotten one yet. I guess I'll continue my WLW collection for another year. ;)

No purchase, but I did stop in at a few places this morning to beg and plead for them to save me some PVW15....

Me three. Found a lonely 2007 WLW on a shelf not long ago. It was the only BTAC there. I haven't opened it yet, but it sure looks tasty. :cool:

Could probably put this in the "Wee Dram category, but...
Went the Canadian route and got a 375 of Canadian Club 10 Year, and 750 of Crown Royal Cask 16 750.
Haven't spent much time with the CC10: the one pour I had was so-so, which is what I expected. It'll be a decent mixer, or one to put on the rocks while I'm cooking, cutting onions and not thinking about nosing fine whiskey.
The CRCask16 is a great whiskey. A splash of water really took the winey note over to a sweet, creamy, great pour.
I wish more distilleries were willing to do some aging in cognac or sherry casks like some of the Canadians and many of the scotches do.
