Thought I scored a bottle of WLW from this year's release, but as it turns out it is 140.2 proof, which I believe is the 2014 release. Still quite excited as it is my first WLW, and it cost me $69.99 before tax.

Consider yourself lucky!! 2014 is supposed to be one of the best WLW releases ever. I was not able to find one last year. I have all the releases from 2009 forward except 2014. Even though I want one badly I refuse to pay flipper prices for one.

My one and only BTAC bottle from LY and it was and is great - trying to make it last...

Nice Score and particularly at that price!

Awesome! I've never even seen any btac in the wild.

JB Black NAS; the 8year was a personal favorite, and was responsible for getting me off of JBW and coke (I still love them on a hot day or out at the bars). So hopefully, the quality has not dropped.

Yep, you did well! Getting any previous release for $69.99 is great but 2014 was considered one of the best! Enjoy!

found a WTRB 108 proof at a random store that only had 1 of everything on the shelf, kinda odd... then a buddy also picked up an ORVW 10 for me too. can't wait to get my hands on that!

Picked up a Medley's private stock 10 year while in Omaha. Something new to try. Visited a very nice whiskey bar called Grane.

I bought an ORVW10 for the first time in four years last night. (I shifted heavily into beer in 2011.) Went to a local chain store, inquired as to whether they had any VW left for sale and they asked for my loyalty card. Kid spent a few minutes looking into my past purchases and told me they had the 10 in stock. He then went into the backroom and returned with a heavily wrapped bottle and a code that he read to the cashier so I could make my buy.

Sadly, I was denied at the other two locations of this same chain that I hit afterwards.

The new offering of Old Forester BIB showed up today in my area for the first time. Grabbed one today. Haven't cracked it yet; but I will in a day or two.

I'll post first impressions on the 'What Bourbon are you drinking thread' when I do. ...Unless it's total swill, then I'll be too embarrassed to have over-payed so much... $50!

Picked up one bottle of Michter's Toasted Barrel 2015. I really enjoyed the 2014 offering. I'm excited to do a side by side comparison of the two.

Oya, and my brother happened to stumble across an Old Forester Birthday Bourbon... 2014! I couldn't believe it when he sent me a picture and I saw green!

I picked up a Sig for $21 last Friday and haven't seen the BIB. I can't help but wander, how different could it be? Looking forward to your report Rich!
