I will likely be in San Diego on a business trip in about two months.

Expect a visit.

Also snagged a bottle of Forty Creek Canadian Whiskey and a mini bottle of Bulleit Bourbon for my collection. Now I have to decide which one to try tonight. Any suggestions? Looking forward to your replies. Joe

That would depend on if you wanted to drink the best 1st.. or the other way around.

I like the Elmer T. Lee, best of the bottles you listed.

The VW "Lot B" is a 12yo.

Two 1.75's of Weller 12 y.o.

It's going to be a good spring...

yea.. I just figured that out by myself... I came back to correct my post, but you beat me to it. i guess lot b... would of helped me figure it out more quickly.

This weekend I visited about 6 stores. Picked up a Dickel because I tried a #8 and didn't like it all that much so thought I give it another shot.

Last stop was the best where i found some Saz and Ardbeg.

EC 12 for $12.99
Dickel #12 -$22
Sazerac 18 2007(2) - $59
Ardbeg 10 - $45

Found a 2007 Eagle Rare 17-yr sitting on the shelf in a local liquor store. It is now mine. :cool:

Today we made a trip through "Jack" and "George" country (Lynchburg and Tullahoma). I did happen to stop in and pick up a bottle of Bourbon. I ran across a bottle of Evan Williams white label. I cannot buy this stuff in my area. I bought a small bottle the last time I was in Chattanooga and really enjoyed it, so I got a bigger bottle today. I am pretty excited about kicking back with it tonight. I also found another bottle of Rittenhouse Rye about a week ago. The store that usually carries that in my area was out :cry:. I love a good glass of the Rittenhouse then finishing off with the Evan Williams. I have been stuck with the black label for some time so am pretty excited about the white label. I think I am going to pick up a bottle of either WT101 or JB Black this weekend. I have had the WT before and really enjoyed it but have not tried the JB as of yet, so I'll go with the smaller bottle. Still in search of the Old Granddad in my area. I do tend to lead towards the rye'd whiskeys more, I love the bite they have:bigeyes:.
