Looking forward to trying the oc8 stagg jr blend. Now if I️ can just remember how many parts of each. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have one that's very similar to that. The Lego rescue boat, not the OC8 unfortunately. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven C Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Some moderately dusty Old Forester. Both 1.75's. The paper label stuff is 86 proof. Every bottle of this I have had is outstanding. The Signature bottle is harder to date but the other bottles i have had with this labeling have been very high quality. Eager to try the new 100 proof so many have enthused about. Will be taking a regular 750 of the OF Paper Label over to my pals' for the annual Xmas Eve drink up tonight...

My (admittedly) limited math ability is telling me that this would have been 14 years and two months old in January of '18. They're definitely lying about the age, but 14 years and 1 month is still a pretty old KCSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typf2 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (guess i should have looked to see if the winter thread started, so I'll repost here! A few months ago, I had been putting out feelers to my hometown liquor store, and surrounding liquor stores (knowing that I would be back in area for the holiday). Well, I think I've found my honey-hole. I got a call three days before Christmas and the owner called, letting me know what he got in. He owns three liquor stores. Only got two bottles of WLW in, a case of ETL, and a case of WSR. $188 later (before tax), I'm walking away with these bad boys. Merry Christmas indeed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded (1) W12 and (1) OWA107 for (1) RHF and (1) ETL. He told me he is the BIGGEST Weller fan and came up with the trade terms. RHF is my favorite pour and anything MB#2 is amazing IMO. I know who I think got the better deal (he seems to think he got the steal and I seem to think I got the steal, so I guess it was a great trade regardless) - what do y'all think? I've never had the W12, so I don't quite know which side I like more. But the Rock Hill Farms is probably my favorite of the regular BT lineup. And if you were both happy with what you got it's a great deal for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had them all and love them all (just like my grandchildren). But W12 is truly grand as is the RHF! I'm so EASY, eh? 1 hour ago, kcgumbohead said: Pick up a local store pick BT.

And you can make up a vat of dSculptor's blend - 2xER10:BT:StaggJr. A superb blend that actually got me started on my never-ending vatting journey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 ABC store guy in panama city beach did me a solid. Saw me browsing yesterday and asked a few ‘gate keeper’ questions. Then said the BT truck comes on Thursday. Took my name and number and called me today with the weller 12. Excited about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just happens to be the first time it’s been directed at me. As a group this forum is pretty well self policing with the exception of you.

Got lucky.. owner said he really didnt want to let the liqueur go but did for $35. The 101 I dont think he knew there was anything special about it.. I did bring it up though. He had some old ER bottles and decanters and some OC12 and OC10 and lots of other old stuff. .. 5-10 bottles of WT Austin Nichols..Thought I had hit the jackpot until the third time he and his spouse said not for sale. Glad to get these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had stashed a few away back in the day; but, I was too much into developing my taste for "real" Bourbon and searching through the straights for the ones that hit my palate right. Enjoy!
