smokinjoe Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I don't know how to say this. It's Math But anywho, the overall pattern or "trend" in height of the bottles is increasing. I would expect the "6th" bottle to be taller than bottle 4. Hey Josh, how bout helpin' a brother out here with this math stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barturtle Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 How 'bout:In order by date entered into the marketI considered this one, but I' pretty sure (without actually bothering to look it up) that Eagle Rare predates Elmer T Lee as a Brand, however is you want to say that Elmer T Lee Single Barrel predates Eagle Rare SB, then I'm gonna say if you want to get that picky, Jim Beam Black 8yo/86 proof is the newest of the bunch.:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
