hn4bourbon Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would snatch them up at that price. I bought mine (Frankfort on the label) for $15 and they are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It sounds reasonable to me, still cheaper than Makers Mark. I think I paid $35 for a handle of paper labeled Weller SR a year or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyobsessive Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 That is a bit cheaper than I see WSR for in PA, and I'd even pay a bit extra for the old-style label. Also, I think they may have dropped the age statement (might have just been the OWA that lost it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rutterb Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 it said on the label 7 years old. how old would that bottle be since it's a nas now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I never pass up a Weller paper label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 3-4 years, maybe? Look for stamp on bottom of bottle. WSR is $9.99 in ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The $20 price is fairly decent. That's close to being in line, especially considering some probable recent price hikes. Sometimes, I can still find it on sale around here for $16-$18, but that's for the current stuff. Do the bottles you found say distilled in Louisville? If so, don't hesitate. Buy some.

Enoch Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Damn Joe, it's ~$18 here.I don't understand GA pricing. I go to Augusta a couple of times a year to get handles of WSR for $19.99 ea. They are $33-35 in SC. Usually get 4 cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have 9.99 NAS WSR, I wouldn't pay more. Its a mixer only and will likely last me till doomsday. Would have liked to try the 7yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 4 years sounds right for the demise of paper labels. WSR then went NAS about a year ago?Yes, all paper labels are age stated. I believe the change to NAS was around early 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmpevans Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Yes, all paper labels are age stated. I believe the change to NAS was around early 2012?Bruce, that sounds right. I remember going down to local and buying 3 handles of the 7yr at $19.99 handle. Still have 2 of them in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarkle Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I can still find the 7 year age stated stuff around. I haven't done a head-to-head of the 7yo vs the NAS yet, though I have had them both. I'll still buy Weller SR over Maker's any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgemu1 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I was able to find some paper a label while back and did a head to head against the NAS. It was night and day difference for me. I have one in the bunker and thinking about getting some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVande Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I am stumped. Noticed a case of WSR with the Louisville address rather than Frankfort. The box was stamped 9/9/2013. Does this make any sense?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Comp Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I am stumped. Noticed a case of WSR with the Louisville address rather than Frankfort. The box was stamped 9/9/2013. Does this make any sense?!?Sazerac has operations in Louisville. Possible case box was routed/stamped through there. Now if it's on the label you have a case of something awol for many years.And because we strive to be the internet's foremost source of bourbon information :cool:, Sazerac has an administrative office at 10401 Linn Station Road, Louisville. The press release from 2/2/2010 said employees will handle accounting and shipping functions. Edited December 18, 2013 by T Comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
