2012 4R SmB LE & ORVW 10/107. The Old Rip was a reasonable price and the 4R is another attempt to "get" 4R. I've struggled with enjoying 4R in the past, but the combination of an ever-evolving palate and the rave reviews of the 12 SmB LE, I said what the heck.
The Fedex guy was nice enough to drop off 19 bottles of whiskey today.
Merry Christmas to me!
My wife got me a surprise early Christmas present --- Four Roses Small Batch. My first FR product!!
BUT.... she made me promise to wait till Christmas Eve to open it. Bah Humbug!!
My wife and I were out and about yesterday doing a little last minute Christmas shopping. On the way home, we stopped in at one of my local liquor stores just for the heck of it. This is one of a half a dozen stores near me that normally only has "the usual suspects", and whose pricing can be a little suspect at times. :skep: I stop in at these stores once or twice a year to see what they might have just in case. I was a bit shocked when I saw two bottles of Weller 12 on the shelf. They were in a spot labeled Old Weller Antique, and the price was marked at $24.99. I was really surprised when the guy at the counter confirmed that this was the correct price. Being the lover of Weller's that I am, I just had to buy them. :grin: It was kinda funny because my wife was almost as happy as I was. :cool:
FWIW, this store has occasionally had OWA on their shelves in the past, but not very often, and I've never seen Weller 12 there before. I guess it pays to keep stopping in at theses places. Cheers and Merry Christmas! Joe
Not Bourbon, but Bourbon Cream. Found it at one of the larger local retailers here in Atlanta. Not that I have been actively looking, but its the first I've seen it in Atlanta. Also, grabbed some St.George Absinte to make some Sazeracs at home.
Pays to stay on the lookout Joe.
