funknik Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Jeez Andy, that's a rough price to pay for a few bottles :bigeyes: I take it the bottles came through unscathed, but hopefully you are ok as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_elliott Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I had a very nice haul on my trip to NY, but very nearly paid the ultimate price for it . . . here are pics of the bottles I picked out and the remnants of the car that I was driving when blindsided by a runaway pickup . . . most are just things I can't get around here, but at least one is a bonafide dusty:2 WLW '08, WT Rye101, Fighting Cock, '04 1849 Fitzgerald (it said "Wood Aged" & all the other bottles said "Charcoal Filtered"), Cabin Still, Noah's Creek & a 1990 OHH BIB with a faux tax stamp . . .I always worry when going to the liquor store about being in a wreck and having the bottles break all over as I drive an SUV that doesn't have a trunk. That it would smell like a distillery and the cops would then place the blame of the accident on me and arrest me. I put the bourbon as far back in the vehicle as possible. Andy I'm glad your OK I hope the other guy had insurance:hot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy I'm glad your OK I hope the other guy had insurance:hot:Thanks, Paul . . . the other guy had insurance and hopefully this will all go pretty smoothly . . . no breakage. Today I grabbed a Dant BIB (even though I don't love it), because I was bored, it was $15.99 and I was frustrated that I still can't get any Dickel No.12.

independant Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Super nice score!!!!!So tell us the story, how did you get 'em?I am interested in the red label. Did you find it in a store here and if you don't mind me asking how much was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I am interested in the red label. Did you find it in a store here and if you don't mind me asking how much was it. All three came straight from Japan. Prices are probably more than most folks would be willing to pay and can make buying 'em prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblick Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yesterday I found a dusty OC Classic 90....fake tax strip, pre govt. warning, volume listed in metric and English units, and there are some nice decorative grain plants molded into the glass. A great deal at only $14.99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gblick Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 They recently began selling 4R1B here in Houston, and today I decided to get a bottle of it. While I was there I discovered that they are now selling Rittenhouse too (they've had the Ritt 21yo, but none of the others), so I picked up a bottle of the Rittenhouse BiB. I've only ever tasted the Ritt BiB once, at Randy's almost 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funknik Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've been harping on my local GrogShop and they finally got a couple of cases of Dickel No.12 in today after being out for nearly 8 weeks or more (they are being rationed by the state liquor control). I grabbed myself 4 bottles for the bargain price of $13.99 ea. Now I can be sure not to run out in case of another drought up here -- that was a long time. While I was out I saw that Weller Special Reserve was on sale for $10.99 so I had to grab myself one of those, too . . . deal was so good I almost bought two, but I had one bunkered already.

gblick Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Today I was in an area of town that I don't go often, so I checked a couple of stores and ended up with 3 dusties:Private Cellar - faux tax strip, 90 proof, no date. It was cheap ($7.85), so I got it for science.Walker's Deluxe - tax strip, 86 proof, bottled in '84, from Peoria Ill. It too was cheap enough to give a try ($8.99), for science.Old Weller 107 - 375ml, Louisville, faux tax strip, bottled in '91. Not exactly cheap ($12), but no problem as I love this stuff and wish that they had more.Does anyone know anything about these older Private Cellar and Walker's Deluxe bottles, is it any good?

funknik Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Since it is on sale for $10.99 currently, Weller Special Reserve is the second cheapest bourbon in Maine right now (after Ten High which is $9.49 & still KSBW here).Because of that and because I'm always afraid they're going to get wise and raise the price on me ($12.99 regular here!) -- I bought 3 more bottles today . . . I should have enough WLW SR to last quite a while -- 5 in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
