(Yes she's a keeper.) After work, I headed to a store near me, and picked up a couple of semi-dusty 1.75's of Old Forester BIB. They've been sitting on the shelf of this store for ages, and I've been contemplating on whether to buy them or not. Yeah, I paid a little bit too much, but what the heck? It's good, I really like it, it's not made anymore, and even though OF Signature is 100 proof, and a pretty decent bourbon, it just ain't the same. After Weller's, my favorites are BIB's. :yum:

Cheers!

Nice pick up Joe on the OF BIB's and it sounds like you didn't waste any time to crack them open either,atta boy!:grin:

Three bottles of 11' WLW

Picked up 2 bottles of 2011 FRSmB LE. Looking forward to tasting them soon.

Yes, it was the 12 year Elijah Craig. I really like the standard 12 year, but by my calculations (considering proof alone) this bottle should be about $40. Maybe $50 considering the typical gift shop mark up. But who knows, it might be great and worth the premium. If not it will be a one time purchase.

Very nice. I would be thrilled to even have one bottle of the 2011 at this point. Congrats!
