Bottle Date-GTS

[AnotherCigarGuy]

Recently picked up an "older" bottle of above and the raised items on the bottle bottom really don't look

like anything. Think I read in another thread that the ABV is unique to a certain bottle date?

Anyone have a link to a master list or know what year a 64.5 ABV is?

That is a 2004 bottle. Find that on a shelf somewhere?!

Here's a good reference to the proof/year identity.

That is a hell of a find.

Excellent. Should have figured Wikipedia......

Long story short....

Mutual friend, I guess in 2004, who was a big bourbon guy(I wasn't, so unbeknownst to me), gave a bottle

to friend. As I've become obsessed over the last 6 months or so, friend said he had this unopened bottle as he, too, was/is not a bourbon drinker. I had to ask him a couple times, but he just likes to bust, uh, ba***, if you know what I mean. Anyways, last week he sold it to me with the only proviso that when I open it, he can have a sip.

That's great! Now, just wait until he dies and precious is yours, all yours!

Don't listen to MauiSon! :bigeyes:

Sharing any dram; but especially the unique and rare ones is THE VERY BEST way to enjoy it! :kiss:

You can watch the appreciative grin spread across that face and know you helped put it there. :grin:
