Finished off a really good, solid bottle of Weller special reserve. Always a good, dependable, know what you are getting poor…

Oh how I fondly recall the days when this was a $12.99 bottle that collected dust on store shelves.

Still a good price these days at $19 to $22 in most stores in Texas.

Not in Michigan, in the past two years I found one bottle at about $26, of course I bought it.  I've found OWA at $199/750 mL.

My nephew lives in the Denton area and tells me it's unicorn tears there as much as here.

Plenty on the shelves today, I should have picked 1 or 2 up but passed.

It simply doesn't exist here in Pennsylvania and Jersey.  Bizarrely, that only way I have been able to taste this recently is to find each year the BT Kosher Wheat Recipe.

Hard to believe it was once the red headed stepchild of the Wellers that people would actually turn away from.

Man down. 
 

Took a year or so to finish, but that last third was terrific. I’ll be replacing it soon - maybe as early as tomorrow 🥃

Another one bites the dust. This was fine at the $35 price point, but like all things Sazerac I believe it’s up to $50 so likely my last bottle. 
 

Moved on to KC12. Ohhhh yes. Now this is a fantastic pour and well worth the $70.

Continuing the purge by killing a VOBBiB I picked up when we were unexpectedly stranded in KY. Actually, the wife face timed me from Kroger and was amazed when I told her I wanted the bottom shelf bottle asking several times “are you sure?” 

Good stuff.

Polished off the bottle of Old Fitz BIB 13yr I opened to celebrate our anniversary a few months ago. I was a good, solid bottle. Nothing amazing or note worthy in my mind, but still a good and enjoyable pour and that is all that matters.

I feel your pain.  At least you have a sibling to provide support in your time of need.

I remember the day this dropped in PGH. My toddler had a really bad case of the poops, and I couldn’t get out to snag one. I’ve been dying to get my hands on one ever since. Saw a bottle on vacation back in September for $250. I didn’t want it that badly.

Sad to see this one go.   This was one of the early finished bourbons ,  put up in Sonoma Pinot Noir barrels.   The bourbon is terrific,  with just a kiss of the wine barrel;  it's still one of the most subtle finished bourbons I've had, and one of the best.

I've made that turn several times & had red hair in my younger days, though not step...

Now it doesn't even show up anymore; the bottle and red hair.

Funny how irony kicks you when you're down!!! 😜
