HoustonNit Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Traded the new ORVW for the THH, I’m happy!I think I agree with this logic. Even non rye drinkers like this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_6789 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I think I agree with this logic. Even non rye drinkers like this one.Honestly, it was a blind trade - I was underwhelmed with the ORVW and have heard good things about THH and decided to take the leap. I don’t think I’ll be disappointed, but I’ll find out soon enough haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is up with the bad label placement this year on the THH? Another off center one. Not quite as bad as @Marekv8 's bottle though. Please let me know how you like that. I've heard reviews on both ends of the spectrum for this release, and THH is historically a favorite of mine.

parksmart Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I’m sure a few of you have heard the saying “when it’s cheap, stack it deep”. 1L bottles of OGD BIB for a touch less than $15 after tax would qualify, amirite? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FacePlant Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Picked this up today. Embarrassingly overpriced but got to put my two cents worth in during the pick. Early reviews are strong, very strong. AND IT SHOULD HAVE A BLACK LABEL since it's 12yrs old! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this isn’t barrel proof Weller. Weller Full Proof is just bottled at a slightly higher proof but is still watered down, specifically to 114. The only barrel proof Weller is still WLW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasGazelle Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I didn’t technically buy the ER but did receive it as a gift today. The EC I did buy for the great price of $21.00! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Batch 13 hit my county. Surprised they weren’t being douches and holding it back for the whiskey event in a few weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 For gifts I bought two of the Old Forrester 1920/Signature twin packs and they had the standard MM gift sets with twin rocks glasses for 19.99. Seven friends will be receiving those. What a nice deal. For myself I grabbed a Binny’s pick Knob Creek that was 14 years 10 months and received a gift of a different Binny’s pick that is almost 11 years. Also received a Rare Breed and a Rowan’s Creek. Not shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evasive Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I ran into my local on my lunch break to get a bottle of Irish for a party tomorrow night. Turns out they’d just gotten some OWA and WSR this morning, so I grabbed one of each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I stopped to get a haircut this morning. Afterwards I walked into the liquor store next door. They were unpacking their shipment and had a Old Fitzgerald 15 year BiB. Merry Christmas to me! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yup totally bought this for the coffee mugs, particularly the one on the right to bring to work. It was $3 more than the bottle alone and totally worth for some cool sturdy mugs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
