OscarV Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanx 4 the reply SMOWK, I'm the same way as far as waiting for special occasions to open a bottle such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 OFBB, heard too many good things to not get this. Found some Weller Special Reserve that I passed on, older label & different bottle? not the same as the one I bought in Michigan a month ago. Has 7 yr age statement like the OWA (I dont recall the one I have having an age statement) and the bottle is the same as OWA. Bottle is stamped '03. Any opinions on this? I believe it was right at $20. Worth it? I'll be here a couple more days. I'm sure they wont sell the 3 or 4 they had on the shelf in that time.

Vosgar Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 They looked at that and just shook their heads. I cant imagine what they will say when I return and add another 7+ bottles to the bar. Maybe I need new friends?You don't need new friends, you just need to bring them along for the ride. Some will take longer to cultivate than others (ask Fishnbowljoe) but they will appreciate it and thank you when all is said and done. Who knows, one of them may end up with more bottles than you!Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvallisCracker Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I used to bring good bottles to "get togethers", but I found that to be a bad idea. It's usually pearls before swine where I'm at. I've had too many instances of shot takers hitting up the Stagg than I'm willing to admit. That same bottle could sit on my shelf to be enjoyed for quite a while, instead of watching it not only go down quick with a beer and a funny face, but also back up soon after. I'm not a fan of pouring BTAC in the back yard.Man, you need a new set of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funknik Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Got myself 3 more JPRS17 in NH for $70 each -- I said I wasn't going to buy any of this stuff, but boredom won me over. Plus I think the Batch #7 is really good and for $70, what the hell -- once it's gone, it's gone -- I'll have some when I'm old now maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus_Of_Life Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Picked up my first 'dusty' today in Minnesota, a 1998 Pewter Top Kentucky Spirit. Just might drink the whole damn thing the way I feel right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't make you feel better, and you'll feel really crappy about eight hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtgto Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 We are thinking July, weekend after the 4th, or the weekend following that. So there is plenty of time to clear schedules. Gazebo style, grilling, the weather should be perfect.. perhaps some fishing also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gblick Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 On the way to last night's jam session I found a handle of OWA bottled in '99. It's pretty unique tasting compared to all the OWA I've ever had, almost tasts like a cognac of some sort. I was a little put off by it at first, but I got used to it and am enjoying it a lot more now. It'll be interesting to see how this opens up in the next several weeks after being opened.

scratchline Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Eagle Rare 17 2007. My first bottle. On sale for 50 bucks. I've been devoted to the old ER 101 so this one has a lot to live up to. But as it was the last one on the shelf, I had to give it a try.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Wathen's single barrel - bottled in Jan. 2010. Been meaning to try it and grabbed one today. The first pour was pretty disappointing. With the bonus of an unpleasant sourish finish. Hoping it gets better with some air and some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
