theglobalguy Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Seeing posts of folks picking up 2012 WLW already, did i miss the release? Thought it tended to be more a mid October thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeatedWheat Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I spoke with the Buffalo Trace distillery on Aug 17, 2012. They said they were finishing up bottling of the BTAC. At that date, they said it would be available in 4-6 weeks. We should start to see some any day, at least those lucky enough to source some.

michaelturtle1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What was the proof on the 2011 Handy? I just received my BTAC order and the 2 bottles of Handy I ordered are different proofs one is 132 proof and one is 128 proof? I presume that the 128 is a 2011 bottle?

msong Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I know BTAC has hit at least one shelf in SoCal, picked up a bottle of WLW, although it seems most retailers are still waiting for their shipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglobalguy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 From the standpoint of # of bottles, do they announce that sort of thing? I seem to remember Heaven Hill noting specific bottle count with Parker's Heritage. Trying to decide if i crack open one of the bottles i managed to snag or hold out till much later in the winter (as in, can i buy more if i happen to love it?).

HighInTheMtns Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The info sheets contain number of barrels and evaporation loss, so you can get an idea of the total volume of whiskey that was bottled. However, whatever the number of bottles is, you are extremely unlikely to find more later in the year. But open it anyway, if you want to drink it. Bourbon is for drinking!

theglobalguy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks for the info, i don't buy to put in a glass case! And living in KY i'm fortunate enough to find most choices year round. May have to pop open the WLW later this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) WLW will be the first one I open when I get my hands on some. But sad to say, it's a once a year thing, no matter where you are. It's great bourbon, I'm sure you'll enjoy that bottle. Cheers!

theglobalguy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not that i expect repeat of last year, but was new to bourbon in Oct/Nov/Dec 2011 remember walking into local mega-store and finding piles of it. Wondered at the time why the heck any bourbon could be worth that much. kicked myself in the spring when i realize what chance i had to snag at least 1 bottle of a limite release to try.

I'll try to post them together for you.Merged to keep them all in one place as that's the intent of the thread that is stickied at the top of the Premium/Specialty forum.Remember that this thread is just for the info sheets and not for a discussion of the releases. The more discussion that is added, the tougher it is to find the sheets.It just takes a little discipline, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
