I've had other orders filled years later, case of ER17 ordered maybe 2012 filled maybe 2 years ago. Case of GTS filled some years after order placed. I called ABC-HQ and confirmed I was still on list for fulfilment, but my order so old they couldn't tell how many bottles without digging deeper. I'm overjoyed with just getting 1, so the whole case is fantastic. I got these orders in when they still accepted them, they quit taking orders I think maybe 2015. This is crazy. I guess patience is a virtue. Edited July 23, 2022 by mbroo5880i 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenPipes33 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Haven’t posted in a while, been finding a few good ones. But this past week I stumped across this in Jersey. I’ve never seen one, I was very surprised to say the least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the box put me off, for some silly reason. Anyway, mistakes made. Good find and snag. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apt43bear Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Finally got around to picking up an accumulation of orders made over the past month. Picked up some ECBP barrell proof A122 and B522 with some regular EC bourbon and rye for cocktails, Bardstown Disco 7, and a Weller Full Proof. Also grabbed some Scotch - the 2022 Ardbeg release and an independent bottler of Glendronach 12 year cask strength. Also got some chartreuse and an aperol for cocktails and restocked on my favorite tequila - Fortaleza Añejo (gave away what I previously had to some friends). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So jealous. I dug up a couple of old bottles of Signature a while back and it is like what the current OF 100 dreams it will be when it grows up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t notice it after the change to Signature. However, It could just be me mind you. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the 18 and seems the prices haven’t gone crazy (yet) though I imagine that’ll change soon. Yeah the cask was done by an independent bottler and sourced by a local liquor store. It’s 12 year and comes in at 61.2% - looking forward to trying it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped off at a store way out and saw these suckers today. Sunday drive paid off As a generous and selfless gesture, I took a small sip of the sample bottle I saved from my older OF Signature and yes, definite caramel bomb. Comparing it to current OF 100, a shorthand way of describing it is like real caramel (old) vs caramel flavoring (new). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe I am finding Cooper's Craft 100 to most closely meet my craving for the old OF profile. Unfortunately, they STILL don't distribute it in CA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
