MDBourbon Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I thought the same thing before purchasing, and actually thought about not posting about what I bought. After making a lot of calls last week and this week, and driving around the metro area tonight, I was able to find these. Weller 12 is tough to find, I really like it, and don't know when I'll be able to find it again---so I am bunkering 4 and giving 2 away. I feel lucky, and spoiled.Nice haul. It all looks fantastic, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my drunken defense, if I stumbled across 6 (or did all that leg work you did to find 6) I would do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has yet to grasp that those of us who are simply trying to maintain a small inventory of our favorite pours is not the problem, need to spend more time out in the bars and restaurants, where it is not uncommon to see six page whiskey menus. The number of establishments now competing against one another for the 'best selection available' is doing more to drive the market (including secondary) and availability than anything else. I used to by W12 (by the case), when no one else gave a crap. Does that make me a bad guy? Hell no, just like it doesn't make Foz a bad guy for single handedly trying to clean out the state of Indiana (while taking advantage of their availability and pricing). :bigeyes:Bottom line, it's not your fault that it's hard to come by at the present, and don't forget... you're doing a friend a service to share what equals a 1/2 case purchase of something you may not have the opportunity to purchase again for some time.So cheers to you my non-flipping, friend helping, bourbon loving brethren... and carry on! :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M777 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Found a bottle of EC18, 129.99 before tax in NE IL, last one on the shelf so I snagged it. Every other place wanted 170 before tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccleve23 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I received the Wild Turkey Master's Keep for my birthday today from my very thoughtful wife. Also armed with some extra birthday I decided to try and pick up the EC18. I knew one store that had one bottle left and I got before they opened and was first in line. Since no one was around I decided to run the DD and grab a quick cup of coffee, and when I came out I was then second in line. Oh well. So I went to another store and picked up this 2015 4R SmB LE instead. I guess it will have to do :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niner Outlaw Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I picked up some Blanton's today. First time in years any of the local LS have gotten Blanton's and this LS finally got one case and limited each customer to one bottle. $55. Not bad.
