[hand-waving freakoutery] Walked into a new store in my county and cleaned them out of their stocks of Weller 12. Every last bottle. Cost me $22.99. [/hand-waving freakoutery]
There was an empty shelf section with an upside-down sticker reading "Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year $49.99". I would have passed, then again I might have bit. I'm a little perturbed with myself for not going in sooner.
Nice score on the Weller 12. Great bourbon for the money.Quote:

The empty shelf hit me when I was visiting the Liquor Barn this past weekend. 4RSmB LE 2012 had the tag, but no bottles. :smiley_acbt:
Well, didn't actually buy it today, but it's the newest on my shelf. Bought it a month ago. But it finally arrived. Hope I have the gonads to open it one day.
And thanks to one particular SBer who alerted me to its existence in a liquor store in Germany.

Are you kidding? I'd open that bottle the second I got my hands on it, and you should too.Quote:

Wow...I know it's really none of my business, but how much did that set you back? I only ask cause the last one I saw sold for about $1000 (about a month ago). I'm jealous regardless!Quote:

Also a WSR with age statement for $16. One of my favorites.
Picked up a Wild Turkey Rare Breed I haven't had WT for years.
