wadewood Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 For that seroius collector, I saw this on ebay: Joseph Finch Bid is at $188 with reserve not meet. It is listed from dougdog7, same as dougdog on SB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoTexan Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 For those going to the BF this year, I found a bottle in Houston and am bringing it to the gazebo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The value in this is primarily in its rarity. The whiskey is good but not spectacular. I can't look at this and its mate, Henry Clay, without sadness for the road not taken. This was conceived by Chris Morris, now Brown-Forman master distiller, when he was at UDV. The idea was to take the "orphan" barrels in UD's inventory, whiskey from defunct distilleries primarily, and bottle them as unique, limited edition products. They never got any further than these two releases because of the merger that formed Diegeo and a change in corporate direction that led to a divestment of most of the company's American whiskey products and the discontinuation of small enterprises like this one.Still, considering its rarity, an original retail price of close to $100, and the ridiculous amounts people have paid for colored wax, I would think someone would part with a couple Franklins for it.

bourbonmed Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Chuck, Ken: Did the road end there?Could it be some of these orphan UDV barrels ended up at Buffalo Trace and were bottled later becoming part of the antique collection (Weller 19, ER 17 etc)? The Clay/Finch combo were aged 15 and 16 yrs.Omar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Sadly, the fate of such odds and ends usually is to get thrown into the tank for bottling as some bottom shelf brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
