Searching for Lost Treasure/s

[BunkerBooze]

What are some of the greatest bourbons and ryes that you have you been searching for the longest and cannot find due to its discontinuation (forget about pricing and that money was not an object). In other words, what are some of the greatest losses in bourbons and ryes.

Mine are:

Bourbons - Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve 101 proof

Rye - Willett 22yrs rye (Doug Phillips' bottling)

[spun_cookie]

Bourbon: WT 8yr from 1990-93

Rye: Old Overholt from the 60-70s and DougDogs Rye .... For a special SB

The one I get "giddy" about would be...

SW Old Fitz

Any Weller centennial

ER101

WT 8YR (before 94)

It's funny you mention Doug's rye bottling. I just had that two weeks ago while enjoying Doug's company.

For me a couple come to mind:

Mt Vernon Rye

Any SW bourbon produced under Pappy

Early WT 8/101

Hirsch Red/Blue wax

[ILLfarmboy]

SW OWA

WT 101 8 year

WT 12 (never actualy found any, I've traded for all that I've had)

[ggilbertva]

SW OWA

WT 101 8 year

WT 12 (never actualy found any, I've traded for all that I've had)

Brad - I personally like the 8 year better than the 12 year. What are your impressions?

Greg I like the 12 yo better than the 8 yo I like the wood it taste like a rickethouse smells. But a little bit goes a long ways the 8 yo is smokier .

I have been searching high and low, mostly high for Wild Turkey Stampede and Wild Turkey Freedom.

I have been dropping hints everywhere but can't get a response.

C'mon Brothers, I got the Turkey Jones, hook me up.

Always hoping to find a bottle of ORVW 15 while hunting but never came across one....not much WT8 either so I haven't opened the one dusty bottle I did find.
