I wonder how many people actually only submit a single entry, vs. one for each relative, friend, pseudonym, etc? Still waiting here too. Guess there's always the 15 and 12 y/o drawings.

Surtur Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I’m not much of a bourbon hunter, except for the Wellers. That used to be my every day drink until it has now become nearly impossible to find. It is beginning to turn to frustration that I can not find a single bottle of the 12 year and it is approaching 5 years that I have even SEEN one in my neck of the woods, aside from the local bar that wants $30 a pour. Weller 12 is my equivalent of a Pappy, and yes I have struck out hard. The day I find a bottle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(having only tasted the SR some years ago without a benchmark comparator) The SR is the lesser of the 3 standard Wellers but it is still great juice, especially the last bottle I opened. At $20, I would far and away choose it over Makers, Larceny, or any other standard wheater. It is also the easiest to find of the three, so I tend to go to it a bit more often than Antique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find it in the Va/DC/Md area at all but I gifted my bro in Austin TX a 1.75L for $31.55 (!!). One could do worse I guess for bulk purchases.

From what I understand it is quite easy to find Weller in Texas. Perhaps you should have your bro ship you some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's not on the website, VA ABC does get the Weller line. I've known people who have gotten the Antique and I was able to get a 1.75 of the Special Reserve in VA.

Yeah I was wondering about that myself. I never did make it to an ABC to see if they were open or not but I just read about the legislature being in session yesterday, on King day.

Based on the advisories they post on the ABC website about possible slowdowns due to the PVW registration I'm guessing most enter every relative over the age of 21 who's a Va resident. I know I do.

marshbound Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I did not win a bottle in the Mont Co lottery. There were 175 winners, and I am able to draw some inferences from the data to determine I had an approximately 3.3% chance of being lucky. Not great odds.

The Rockville store (where pickups occur) is damn near equidistant from BWI, Dulles and National. But SW to BWI is normally the cheapest option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably for the best as I was try8ng to figure out how I'd get to Maryland on short notice! In all seriousness, what were you going to do if you won? I’ve yet to get picked in any of the MoCo lotteries but as a local from one county over, I am a bit protective of it. They shut down the van winkle lottery this year to non MoCo residents and added ETL and EC18 to lottery when they had been first come first serve and I’d hate to see them limit their other lotteries. Edited January 31, 2018 by Charlutz shut for shit. Shoulda left it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
