Alphanumeric Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I passed on a Dickel store selected barrel strength for $35. I don't know anything about Dickel so it did not seem worth taking up precious checked luggage space with.Barrel strength Dickel? I didn't even know such a thing existed.

You should really pick up a bottle and try it someday. Never had a barrel strength so I can't testify to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnDew Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) "Barrel Select", maybe?It was over 100 proof and I remember thinking it was close to what I think of as barrel proof territory, but it could have been like 55% or something along those lines. I should have taken a picture, if I get a chance I'll go back and look again. However, it Looks like I get to try it today anyway, thanks Michael!

VAGentleman Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The 9 year old Dickel Hand selected barrel is 103 proof and the 14 is 106. If you saw the 9 year old for $35 you should definitely go get it.

MtnDew Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I aplogize to all, my memory and/or vision is apparently lacking. I went back to the store just now and yes, it was the 9 year 103 proof for $39, so not a barrel proof and not $35... ugh. I hate traveling for work, my brain gets all fuzzy like. That being said, I still bought one Now that puts me up to 7 bottles I have to bring back, good thing I get two free checked bags. Too bad I only brought 1 actual suitcase though...

BAO Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 TSA rules say that you are allowed to take five liters per traveler. Most airlines have the same rule but some are more restrictive. MtnDew is presumably 250ml over the limit.I've flown with 7 bottles before and had no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnDew Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The most I've had was 6 750's in a single suitcase and 9 spread out over 2. I'm not real worried about them saying anything, I'm more worried about my ability to carry everything! Personal record was 6 750s of liquor 4 750s of beer and 4 bottles of wine in one suitcase. You should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the going prices for these?In Lexington, Ky the FR 125th was about $90 with tax and I've seen the EC21 between $130-160. I would get the FR, if not priced too high, IMO.

BillP Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks! I'll head back for the 125th first thing in the morning. I believe it was under $100 and they had only one bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure there are any FR 125s left but my guess is that there are probably a few around town. There are plenty of EC21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
