Fun with TTB COLA's Online

So is there a searchable database of these where you can pull up random labels? 
 

I found the ttp cola registry but all the forms there don’t appear to have the images attached. 
 

I like to make samples/minis and using these often times turns out a lot better than the boring label maker. 

If you do a search in the TTB COLA Public Search page, when you find the specific product you want,  at the top right of the page, there's a link for "Printable Version" that has the label on it

Correct this.

Also, if you are trying to find something specifically, a "%" symbol is a wild card. E.g. %rare breed% will find anything with "rare breed" in the name.

I search all whiskey labels, they are classed between 100 and 198, whiskey specialty is class 641, I believe SKU told me that once upon a time. I started doing this a little while after he stopped doing his blog as I missed his summaries when they stopped, he still does post labels fairly regularly on Twitter.

Wow... awesome. I saw that stupid printable version button wasn’t smart enough to click it. Appreciated. Owe you all some custom samples.

Last two I need to find is Tumblin Dice 11 and King of Kentucky. Wonder if they don’t have to go through this since they both are such small runs (<1000 bottles on both I think).

For the most part everything gets submitted, there are certain things that can be changed like proof and age, most commonly this is for single barrel barrel/barrel proof products.

, I hope Kevin is doing well. I miss seeing his TTB updates. Since he's been quiet for months, I didn't think I'd be stepping on toes by posting this. As a turkey head this REALLY excites me!

I just saw this posted on a FB group and I too am excited. I just hope the price isn't to crazy because of the way the market is these days.

Really excited for that RR!

This is what I’ve been waiting for from Turkey for a long time now.  Even better than I hoped for in fact.

After the initial excitement dwindled a bit i also thought of price point. There seems to be a need for ~$100 bottles. Im guessing thats where this will be, similar to KC15.

with ECBP being a 12yr barrel proof and a $50-$70 price point usually, I am hoping this won't be too much more than that. Maybe in the $70 msrp range. Also considering that the RR bottles are usually $50-$55.

$70 would be a steal for that.  A man can dream...

Are we assuming this is going to be a once a year release?

 

It’s pretty close to the RR2002 type releases, which are 15 year BP/NCF. Would they put this and RR 2003 out this year or is this replacing those as an annual release next year? Hopefully it’s not at the RR LE price of $250.

 

Also, super psyched for this of course if I actually get a chance to buy one.

[Kepler]

Great to see.  Hopefully not as super limited as the RR 2002 type of release and just by seeing the regular looking label I'm predicting it won't be. I'm hoping for a semi-regular release something like ECBP, Stagg Jr or Booker's.  We can hope anyway.

Doing well enough these days, this thread is open to whoever wants to post in it, hell if someone wanted to take it over for the next while or longer I'd be happy to do a "training session"

Kevin! Glad youre well (enough)!  Been wondering if you were still around SB.

I'm hearing from a friend in Kentucky who is VERY connected to folks at Turkey that this will be a permanent addition annual allocated release. Hearing from another that it will start in 2021.

Take all the above with a grain of salt.

Given the once a year and allocated status, we can expect this one to not be cheap. I would not be surprised at all if it comes in at $125. This is just my opinion, not anything official I've heard.

I would also think this will be a min of $100, more likely closer to $150.  Campari prices the regular lineup fairly well, but almost all of the LEs have been very steep to the point of being overpriced and sitting on shelves.  ahem ahem Masters Keep.  Even the RR 1998 came out at $250 right?

I had not peeked in for a good while but one one of the truly illustrious members of the forum sent me a PM which I was compelled to log in and respond to when it hit my email inbox. Work and personal stuff have been a bit overwhelming but have been rounding into something more manageable, not sure how often I'll be checking in short term but looking forward to re-engaging at some point.

I've often wondered why WT doesn't take advantage of a built-in marketing opportunity with Turkey Day.  Why not release a LE every Thanksgiving-ish?  Why let BT have a monopoly on the fall releases (other one-offs notwithstanding, like OFBB in Sept)?  Certainly I'm not the first to think of this.  But if so, I'm open to career changes if anyone from WT is reading this.

It's a rather sad comment on the state of bourbon pricing today, that $125 doesn't sound too bad for an annual limited release of well-aged bourbon.  If it's this low, I'll be a happy drinker!

[JCwhammie]

This excites me. I love the warehouse variance when it comes to RR SiB and WTKS. Im not sure if that's where OF got its inspiration for this idea, but I look forward to these.
