sotnsipper Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I have been reading what everyone has had to pass up and it has me thinking, is there one bottle you can absolutely not pass up? Maybe it is a dusty, a discontinued bottle, something you find on an out of town trip, or your everyday pour. Ever since I have tried it, I always grab a bottle of Weller Antique 107 when I go shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickert Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If I could find some Eagle Rare 101 I would snap it up at almost any price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryG Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My choices will sound rather pedestrian to many here, but both fall into the "out of town trip" category in that I cannot get either here. The first you've already mentioned: Weller Antique 107. The other is Old Grand-Dad BIB. The first time I tried the latter, I literally recoiled from the glass and thought, "What the ...?!?" But it quickly grew on me, and is now one of my favorite pours.Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gblick Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Here are bottles that I will not pass on, unless the price is just outrageous:ORVW 15/107Weller Antique from LouisvilleWeller Centennial from LouisvilleOld Fitz BIB from DSP-KY-16Old Grand Dad BIB from DSP-KY-14WTRR101WT 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBoner Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Gus, part of my list is the same:ND OGD (in order of preference: BIB, 114, 86, but all are good)WTRR101ND Old TaylorOC12WT12ORVW15/107Yes, all dusties. Current production I can generally ignore, though Handy, VWFRR, and ETL at less-than-outrageous prices are hard to pass up.Regards,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickert Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hear that, Ben? That's your favorite! Oh you better believe I said "What The..." I was pissed someone put turpentine in my liquor bottle. I want to give it another shot, but there is no way I am ever buying another bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I take most anything old that suits my fancy, most of the Van Winkle products withing reasonable price limits and bottles I cannot find in SoFla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The dusties go without saying. I'm going to pick up just about any of those. Particularly WT12, BHC, ND OGD's, etc. But, as for everyday releases, I can't seem to keep my paws off of Weller 12 and ETL. Even if I have them in sufficient quantity back home, and will be back in the area before mine are gone, I still pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It's hard for me to pass up anything with Weller, or Eagle Rare on it. Especially Centennial and ER 101. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
