BAO Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Called ahead to a store while I was on a road trip, asked for GTS. Lady says she has one on stock, will hold it for me for a few hours. I get there, check the shelf and a GTS 12 is sitting on the shelf. Think nothing of it (other than the lady didn't keep her word), and go to check out. Behind check out is another GTS with my name on it. I tell the cashier I'll take both, and then I read the proof on the 2nd - 143! Great day when an unexpected GTS 10 finds its way into your bunker.Picked up a PHC 6th and an American Prairie Reserve, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbear Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Spent a week in OK and KS for some family stuff. Happened across a few things. Forgive me that they aren't all bourbon. I think the Crawfords is from 1990. Probably terrible, but I'm a sucker for a tax stamp. The WTRB is 1-99.

HighInTheMtns Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 There have been several batch codes on RB bottles - the most recent is WT-03RB. That's what he's referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Don't all bottles have that code? There's actually a dot matrix code etched on the bottle as well.

Bmac Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for the thread! I guess mine is a "newer" version. However, didn't RB simply stay with WT-03RB after 2000? So really my bottle could be as old as 2000 or as new as 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighInTheMtns Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Right, WT-03RB has been around for a very long time. Seems that they're giving up on the batch number altogether with the new label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
