Picked up a Woodford Reserve and a EWSB 1995 for the first time I may say the EWSB is mighty tasty for the price . The more you drink it the better it gets.

Wow, I think this is the first quoting of Snoop Dogg here on SB.com, not sure what to think about that I've always been more of a Nas fan myself. Apparently I need what you guys are drinking!

Found a 1L WT "Old No. 8"......the guy said it had been there a while and gave me yesteryear's price of $21 + tax. Also, happened across a couple "I" releases of VWFRR for $45 (10% off on Tuesdays) which was what I paid last year before any discount. They only had 2 and I figured I would never see them again for under $50 so I grabbed 'em.

Question on the photos of Old Fitz posted by Birdman, said to be from Stitzel-Weller. How do you tell?

I have seen bottles like that here in St. Louis, the label says distilled in Louisville, bottled at DSP 1, whatever that means.

Help me out here.

Gregg,

DSP-1 stands for Distilled Spirits Plant #1 which is Bernheim. Stizel Weller would be DSP-16. Any Old Fitz bottled with DSP-16 is most assuredly, SW whiskey.

I have an open bottle of Old Fitz from DSP-1 and it's very good. Of course, my favorite is still from SW and thankfully, I have a bunker of those bad boys.

Old Fitz from DSP-1 are dusty's that you should grab.

DSP-1, isn't that what HH is currently using? So how does one know if it's a true dusty or just a new bottle in a store with a bad housekeeper?

The second clue would be the bottom of the bottle should have a two digit date signifying the year the bottle was produced. Distillery's do not store bottles but go into the production line when received. Therefore, a bottle with 98 on the bottom would be a fairly accurate bottling year for the bourbon. I'm not sure if HH is still using DSP-1 or DSP-31 for their Old Fitz. I would think DSP-31 since they are required by law to display the DSP for any BIB's.

Thanks, everyone.

I still need some guidance here. The bottles I have seen on the shelf here in St. Louis say "distilled in Louisville, bottled at DSP-1".

If DSP-1 means Bernheim, I assume that means they were bottled at Bernheim.

Where was the distillation carried out?

Does the date on the bottom of the bottle tell you that? (I haven't had a chance to get back to the store to check that).

I am inferring from this that Old Fitz was made at SW, then at Bernheim, now at HH (in Louisville? at DSP-31? - what distillery is that?). What years at each distillery?

If, as Scott says, the current Old Fitz BIB says "DSP-1, bottled at DSP-31", does that mean distilled by HH at the old Bernheim distillery, and bottled at whatever DSP-31 is?
